Lecture Notes on Dental Implantology
Introduction
Goal of the Lecture:
Cover extractions, grafting, proper implant placement.
Discuss pre-operative planning, implant choice, platform choice, and provisionalization.
Speaker's Background:
Graduated in 2002 from Case.
Studied at Midwest Implant Institute, assisted Dr. Duke Keller.
Completed externship and maxi course.
Passed board exams for American Board of Oral Implantology and American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
Founded Cleveland Implant Institute.
Implant Courses and Strategies
Course Offerings:
Comprehensive implant courses.
Topics include full arch courses, photogrammetry, All-on-X cases, and complications.
Coding courses for insurance reimbursement.
Practice Tips:
Implant practices can be PPO-proof if codes are understood and used correctly.
Importance of Planning and Patient Management
Case Examples:
Importance of planning in implant placement.
Financial and treatment planning should be clear to avoid patient dissatisfaction.
Surgical and Restorative Focus:
Emphasize good surgical and restorative skills for successful implant practices.
Implant Placement and Complications
Case Study Highlights:
Issues with improper implant placement and planning.
Importance of planning for prosthetic considerations.
Surgical Techniques and Teaching:
Developing papilla and maintaining bone during placement.
Using provisionals and photogrammetry for full arch restorations.
Extractions and Grafting
Extraction Techniques:
Importance of atraumatic extractions to preserve bone.
Use of periotomes and surgical burrs for effective extractions.
Socket Grafting:
Categorizing defects (five-wall, four-wall, etc.) and using appropriate grafting techniques.
Use of prf to aid in healing and prevent dry socket.
Bone Grafts and Materials:
Types of bone grafts (autograft, allograft, xenograft, alloplast).
Properties of grafts: osteogenic, osteoinductive, osteoconductive.
Membranes:
Use of collagen and PTFE membranes for grafting.
Importance of proper membrane placement and maintenance.
Implant Design and Types
Implant Features:
Thread designs for primary stability.
Importance of platform switching to reduce marginal bone loss.
Placement Techniques:
Correct positioning for incisal and occlusal alignment.
Importance of maintaining space between implant and adjacent structures.
Restorative Considerations
Custom Healing Abutments:
Importance of developing proper emergence profiles.
Techniques for using peak abutments and flowable composite.
Provisionalization and Healing:
Use of provisional restorations for aesthetic and functional healing.
Suturing Techniques
Suturing Importance:
Proper suturing techniques to maintain tissue integrity and promote healing.
Knot Tying:
Difference between square and granny knots.
Importance of tying proper knots to prevent suture failure.
Suture Types and Materials:
Options include chromic gut, PTFE, and vicryl.
Use of continuous locking sutures for stability in large extractions.
Conclusion
Takeaways:
Emphasize planning and precision in all phases of implantology.
Continuous learning and adaptation to new techniques and materials.
