    How do people place these mini implants and load them immediately with overdentures? With a single crown, you can lighten up or remove any centric and lateral force on the mini implants. I wonder how these mini implants take the pressure of putting and taking off overdentures.

    3D CBCTs are great tools for implant dentistry.
    Nice work.

    How do you explain the initial mobility during the first few weeks?
    Were they mobile immediately after the insertion?

    Great case utilizing a surgical stent.
    3D CT scans are indispensible in many cases.
    Thanks for sharing your case with us.

    Yesterday, I went to a Bone Marrow donor registration drive. The turn out was not good due to lack of preparation on the host, my son. He did not have any announcements made and no posters at his school. My friends who promised to show up, did not. Nonetheless, the weather was beautiful here in So Cal.

    ThumbnailHere are two cases that I did with mini implants. In the case above, the patient had some extra space between the lower incisors.  Fortunately, the teeth were aligned so that orthodontics was not need prior to implant therapy. The implant was placed under local anesthesia, as usual. The one-piece mini implant required reshaping or prepping [...]

    Back to work this morning.
    It is a beautiful day in So Cal.
    I am planning on going to see this dental practice that I am considering buying. Working for other dentists sucks. I get a pay check, consistently, but nothing else.
    Have a great day everyone.
