The Science Behind Dental Implant Loss
Dental implant loss continues to increase with the rising popularity of dental implants, but our understanding of why implants are lost has not progressed.
Video: Sinus Membrane Removal for Sinus Augmentation
We have now produced a video to help clinicians be successful with what many are calling a game changer for sinus augmentation.
How To: Sinus Augmentation with Membrane Removal
With science-based bone grafts, sinus augmentation can now leap past the sinus membrane for predictable implant placement in the maxillary posterior dentition.
Study: βTCP outperforms Allograft, Xenograft
This study compared a modern βTCP (beta tricalcium phosphate) to mineralized freeze dried bone allograft and Bio-Oss, including an ungrafted control.
Paradigm Shift: Sinus Augmentation with Sinus Membrane Removal
We are now removing the sinus membrane for all sinus augmentation surgeries and have had no implant failures and no post operative complications.
Immediate vs Early Implant
Here we report on an immediate implant case as it progresses through the integration period, but are adding an early implant case for comparison.
Early Implant Placement Protocol (4 Weeks)
The following is our Early Implant Protocol for improved esthetics, reduced post operative pain, and shorter time from extraction to restoration.
Perfecting Immediate Implants
Immediate implants are a benefit to the clinician and patient. However, they are more clinically demanding than delayed implants and have a higher failure rate.
Rehabilitating Sites Grafted With Cadaver Bone Grafts
Cadaver bone grafts produce sclerotic bone, and this area of sclerosis is not limited to just the extraction socket but also the bone surrounding the socket.
Two Studies Find One Reason for Implant Failure
Two recent and remarkably extensive studies looked at all medications, diseases, factors to identify what variables were associated with dental implant failure.
