Infected teeth often have significant bone loss that destroys the local jaw bone.

If a patient wants an implant to replace a tooth, it’s crucial to plan for enough jaw bone to support a dental implant.

The quotes are from a lecture by a prosthodontist from the 2021 Oral Surgery Implant meeting in Chicago.

Implant planning always has a lot going on. One goal is to have sufficient thickness of bone on the front (facial) of the implant. Literature reviews show that 2mm is the new goal.

This is a case that made a difference in a young patient’s smile.

A deeply impacted lower premolar was refusing to erupt into the mouth.

Oral surgery + orthodontics helped access, bond, and bring this tooth into the arch with the other teeth.

Implants can be a second chance for a tooth.

An infected root canal with a hopeless prognosis was extracted, grafted, and replaced with an implant. Once it heals, a crown can be placed on the implant.

This case shows a missing upper first molar being replaced with an implant. After the extraction and graft healed, there was good width but less than 6mm of bone height. My goal in this case was to place an 8mm tall implant.
