DECISION MAKING PROCESS CLASSIFICATION DSCh Implants in the aesthetic zone. The final success will depend on this important factors: As we all know, dental implant placement in the aesthetic zone is one of the most challenging situations we may face today, especially those with high lip line or gummy smiles, thin biotypes, and at young … Read more

1-. Failed implant removal can be a very easy or very difficult process depending on several factors: -Implant integration. -Implant platform integrity. -Type of implant connection. -Cause of the implant failure. -Amount of bone loss around the implant. 2-. The decision of removing the implant and immediate replacement will depend of many factors such as: … Read more

P.E.T. stands for Partial Extraction Therapy; a technique which promotes the preservation of the original volume of the ridge at pontic or implant sites by preserving partially the root of the old tooth maintaining the PDL complex for original and buccal plate support as well as lamina dura integrity. At pontic sites, this technique was … Read more

The immediate implant placement after tooth extraction technique brings many benefits compared to traditional staged implant placement approach. This is the reason why we should learn a predictable technique in order to be able to perform it, offer it to our patients and become different from the rest. Advantages of this technique: – The consequent … Read more

This are some of the advantages of using expanded healing abutments over regular healing abutments: 1-. Emergence profile is formed from the time of implant placements and stability of crestal bone in contact with soft tissues leaning over the abutment maintains the original architecture. 2-. The use in atrophic ridges allows to keep the abutment … Read more

The Immediate Extraction, Implant placement and Immediate Loading represents one of the most demanded treatments among our patients which brings clinical benefits to our practice: 1-. Minimizes the amount of complications derived from open flap surgeries. 2-. Reduces the buccal bone collapse by preserving the periosteum intact. 3-. Blocks the post operative effect of inflammation. … Read more

Many factors will determine the gain of bone whenever we are performing a Regenerative Procedure; here I will share the most important ones: 1-. Type of defect. We have a classic and more contemporary classification but the Sievert classification allows us to determine the lack of bone horizontally (I), vertically (II) or in a combination … Read more

Sinus Lift Procedure is one of the most demanded and needed Regenerative Treatments when upper posterior areas show deficient bone volume in height. This specific surgery does not stand away from complications so understanding the biology behind the Maxillary Sinus is mandatory in order to be predictable and perform a safe management. The most important … Read more

The different biomaterials will follow a different biology so understanding the biological behavior will help us to understand the purpose and indication of each one of them. The most commonly used biomaterials are Xenograft, Autograft, Synthetic and Allograft among others. 1-. Xenograft: Good long term stability for bone volume maintenance but very slow vital bone … Read more

I want to give you some tips and tricks for Predictable Regeneration but first we need to understand the biology behind the tissues to predict the result. The hard and soft tissues have the ability to regenerate and in order to achieve that we must put together as many factors as possible that promote the … Read more
