Here is a great clinical learning situation - mandibular anterior implants (2) to retain/support a complete mandibular denture. This case was completed smoothly, not without a small problem. Our solution follows in part 2.

  • Firstly, I would use a BTI ridge expanding drill to initially widen the ridge a bit more.

    Given that the implant did not engage, snd that u cannot use a wider implant, I would have probably switched to an implant with taper and more aggressive threads. For eg: Straumann makes TE implants for this purpose and Nobel has nobel active.

    Push comes to shove, graft, close flap and re-enter.

  • How did you record this ? amazing quality and awesome surgery
