Ligature Guide for Implant Placement

K.S. Micro-Implant Placement Guide

A one of the greatest concerns with orthodontic mini-implants is risk of injury to dental roots during placement is, especially when they are inserted between teeth. Many techniques have been used to facilitate safe placement of interradicular miniscrews. Brass Wires or metallic markers are easy to place in the interproximal spaces, but because their relative positions may be inconsistent in di...

Inferior Alveolar Nerve Transpositioning for Implant Placement

Premature loss of posterior teeth in the mandible, failure to replace lost teeth as well as systemic factors may result in progressive resorption of the alveolar ridge. At present, oral and maxillofacial surgeons aim to reconstruct the lost bone and masticatory function via posterior mandibular grafting and/or implants. However, anatomic limitations such as the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) may...

Sinus tenting for posterior maxillary implant placement.

III . Rationale For Immediate Implant Placement

Placement of implants immediately following extraction has become an increasingly common strategy to preserve bone and reduce treatment time. This technique not only shortens treatment time but also improve esthetics by preserving the soft tissue envelope.Immediate implant placement is technically challenging and should only be undertaken by clinicians with considerable experience in implant de...

Surgical navigation for implant placement using transtomography.

OBJECTIVES To present a new guidance technique using transtomography in the operating room and to test the accuracy of this surgical protocol. MATERIAL A new concept of operating room, integrating when necessary this imagery to secure flapless procedures by intraoperative control, is described. This operating room concept, including X ray protection of the operators, is explained in addition ...
