Dental Implantology

Dental implantology or implant dentistry is a fast advancing science. Dental implants have proven to be the best replacement for lost teeth. There are two major challenges in implant dentistry today. One is to make the placement of dental implants simple and predictable for the dentist. Two is to make dental implants safe and affordable to anyone who needs them. This is an obsession which I am working on day and night. Read my blogbook: http://minimized-dentalimplants.blogspot.com/

CASE OF AVOIDING A CANTILEVER BRIDGE RAPIDLY BY PLACING A ONE PIECE DENTAL IMPLANT MOSTDI

The intention was to replace the lower left second premolar and first molar with two conventionals.
After the 2 conventionals were placed and duly osseointegrated, the patient enquired as to why there is such wide space left between the distal implant and the second molar. Even though a cantilever in this case would be quite satisfactory, it was decided to place in a one piece dental implant from MOSTDI which allowed immediately loading provided the insertion torque was above 50 Ncm. This enabled the case to be completed quickly without having to wait another 3-6months for osseointegration. The last xray was taken 3 months after issue of the bridge.
