Much attention has been focused on peri-implant disease, particularly in regard to its prevalence and the need to develop proper therapeutic approaches and modalities for its treatment.
Virtual planning modalities offer implant clinicians the ability to map the proposed implant sites to produce a stereolithographic surgical guide that provides a relatively precise path for osteotomy ...
Even with staging and socket grafts, the buccal plate will still resorb. The socket graft only diminishes the amount of change. Decisions must be based on clinical and anatomical findings.
Presented are three clinical cases illustrating possibilities for advanced immediate loading using different implant designs, demonstrating treatment of severe bone defects and the facilitation of pla...
