Dental Implant’s- A New Begining

The key to starting anything new is to know your limits and when dealing with dental Implants you really need to start with a simple single tooth case, ideally in the upper premolar region. This reduces the aesthetic risk and there is little anatomy of concern (ideally no Maxillary antrum sneaking f

Dental Implants

Why would you have a dental implant? If you having missing teeth, Implants are a fantastic solution as you are not putting other teeth at risk to support the missing teeth. You can either have fixed restorations such as crowns and bridges that fix on top of the implants, or a removable denture that clicks into place over the implants. Having implants greatly improves the quality of your life if you are struggling with large spaces, or have a denture that is not retentive or s

Here I am showing a simple surgical guide that has been produced from an initial wax up (there are more accurate guides available). It is constructed of hard acrylic and can also has barium sulphate incorporated into it so it can double as a radiographic stent. With the guide in place, the long axis of the teeth are marked

FDI – Implant Retained Dentures

Managing the edentulous patient can be at times, very difficult. Following extraction of the dentition bone is remodelled and resorbed, muscles and ligament insertions become closer to residual ridges. This can in turn lead to an unstable and unretentive denture due to a lack of bony support. When treatment planning for the edentulous patient, it is useful to classify the edentulous ridge. Ridge classification can aid both the dentist and patient in communicating any difficul
