OCO ISI Dental Implant to Replace a Missing Upper Molar Tooth

/in , /by

My patient came to see me because she was tired of her gum hurting when she would eat where she was missing her upper molar.Occlusal Pre OCO 5.0

Food would poke her in the gum and she was just unhappy.

 

 

 

 

 

Buccal Pre OCO 5.0

She also did not like when she smiled everyone seeing the empty space.

 

 

 

 

Pre PA

 

I had extracted the molar tooth about 5 months ago due to a failed Root Canal.  We packed the extraction socket with a bone grafting material so her own bone would fill in where the tooth roots used to be. As you can see on the x-ray it filled in very nicely.

 

 

 

OCO ISI 5.0 x 12mm

 

I explained to my patient her choices in implants…either two mini implants to support the molar size crown or one regular size implant.  It would cost a bit more to do the traditional implant but that is what she decided on after our treatment planning and consultation.  I measured the space and a OCO ISI One Piece Regular size implant would work just fine here.

 

 

With the OCO ISI dental implant system only 2 burs are necessary to place the implant.  Here we see the pilot bit with a drill stop to keep it from going any farther in the bone than we want.  Its right in line and we proceed to the next step.Slide9

The next size bit is used and a implant replica is placed to verify fit and angle.  All looks good so we gently rotate the OCO ISI one piece dental implant into the gum and bone.

Final PA

In the end a missing upper molar tooth can be replaced quite easily for both the dentist and patient with either:

A regular implant that is one piece in design or

A 2 mini dental implants to support the larger size crown.

Mini Dental Implants ~ The Permanent Solution for replacing a Missing Tooth with a Crown

/in , /by

A mini dental implant is titanium root that One_body_index_img is placed into your jaw to secure a porcelain crown or bridge. Mini Dental implants are the perfect option for anyone who has lost their tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, a traumatic iinjury, or a failed root canal.  Mini dental implants do less trauma than traditional bridgework, since implants do not require Dentists of grind down the adjacent teeth.  Mini Dental Implants can create a natural looking result.  If you are teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, then consider Mini Dental Implants.  Long-term studies show great success rates for mini dental implants.

 

My next patient was missing one of her upper teeth.  Made her feel very self conscious when she smiled or was out in public.IMG_1753

Snap in Denture with OCO Biomedical Mini Dental Implants

/in , /by

No ridge of bone left on your lower jaw?  Suffering with a loose ill fitting denture?  Tired of gluing down your denture and then still having it move around when you eat or talk? 

Then you should ask for Mini Dental Implants to help create a snap in denture.  In one or two visits you can now go back to eating the things that you enjoy.  Have the security of loose dentures not falling out when you speak or sing. 

Our next patient example is very typical of what we do.

Before oco micro

 

Lower jaw where the teeth have been missing for years.  The jawbone has been worn away by the lack of teeth and the lower denture constantly rubbing over the gum tissue.  You can see the ulcer in the gum tissue where the denture rubs the tissue when the patient is trying to eat. 

 

 

IMG_1740

 

Example of a Mini Dental Implant.  There are several reputable manufacturers of mini dental implants such as OCO Biomedical, Intra Lock, IMTEC MDI, and HiOssen.  Any of these would be a good choice as all are FDA approved and have long term clinical success.

4 OCO mini dental implants in the lower jaw ready to hold and secure the denture with snaps.

These 4 mini dental implants were placed in about 30 minutes.  This case was a bit more difficult that most due to the extremely thin ridge of bone that was left.

 

 

Coe Soft Relline

 

Existing denture is relined with a soft material.  Normally I would fit the snaps into the denture the same day.  In this case we are making a new denture so I will let the soft reline material condition the tissue around the mini dental implants and will put the snaps in the new denture.

I guess I must be a pretty scary dude…                           . Dr patel

It seems like all the patients that need to come see the dentist wait until the very last minute to ask for help.  We really are not that bad here at Lake Norman Mini Dental Implant Center. 

My next patient had a Cone Beam 3D scan done in March of this year.  She had a failing root canal on one of her upper front teeth.  She must talk to some of my other patients because she had done the same thing as several others…..super-glued her post and crown in at least a dozen times.Images[5]  Should I just consider superglue to sell here at the office?

 

All kidding aside…I must say its pretty creative what patients will think up to solve their dental problems.  I know it takes a lot  of courage to come into the dental office.  Those patients who are deathly scared of us please know that we are here to help.  We will not judge.  We only offer solutions and a range of them to fit what your goals are.

On her 3D CBCT we can see the HUGE defect in the bone where the dental abscess is at the tip of the root canal tooth.

And this is from March…its now December…hopefully I could thread in a Intra Lock 2.0mm mini dental implant into the Palatal(roof of the mouth side) bone to hold a temporary crown.

 

 

I took the tooth out preserving as much of the bone as possible.  It was now time to try and get the Intra Lock Mini Dental Implant in.Defect w mini in place

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Intra Lock mini dental implant was rock stable (over 40ncm) and now we would pack the defect with some bone grafting material and a collagen membrane.  In a few months we should have good bone to work with.  My initial thoughts are that the mini is going to integrate(heal) into the bone.  If it does not we should have enough new bone to place a new mini implant.

Broken Tooth ~ Extraction ~ OCO Dental Implant Procedure for Immediate Load Upper Tooth

/in , /by

My patient who alternates between our office and the periodontist office came in today.  She had been told a few months ago by the periodontist that her upper canine tooth crown was failing and would come out soon. But as most patients and people are we hate to go see our dentist until…..it breaks

Broken Canine

 

Broken upper canine tooth.  She had super glued the post and Porcelain fused to Metal crown to the root for the weekend.  Not a great solution as you can see from the gum tissue.  But I thought it was quite creative.

To get the rest of the root out without damaging the delicate plate of bone on the cheek side I had ordered some SalvinPDL-elevators.  These are thin bladed instruments used by the dentist to remove the broken root without damaging the bone.  Thanks Chris Totty for sending them out.  I had another brand but needed another set and I quite like these.  Plus Salvin Implant Supply is here in Charlotte NC.Salvin pd-Elevators

Canine root being removed and as much bone being preserved as possible for an OCO Biomedical ISI 4.0mm dental implant placement.  With this kind of implant we can predictably load the implant without a surgical flap and have a 99.9% documented success rate.  Patients no longer have to suffer with the healing of a invasive gum flap and a time intensive two state surgery.

Now with the canine root out I could check the quality of bone and pick what dental implant would make the most sense to place.  We could let the area heal and place a few mini dental implants or consider a one piece OCO Biomedical Immediate Stabilized Implant.

I think this case could have been solved either with a mini dental implant capturing the palatal slope of bone or a traditional implant as shown.  I have done both and they both will work well with the proper training.  I am encouraged by the number of dentists who are now seeking to get dental implant education.  There are several great mini dental implant seminars and education as well as regular implant CE courses.  I encourage any dentist to get started and mini dental implants are a great way to move forward in helping our patients.

One Piece Solid Regular Implant or 2 Mini Dental Implants to Replace a Missing Upper Molar

/in , /by

My next patient had an upper molar that he wanted to replace.Before oco 4.0 ISI

 

The upper molar had been extracted a few years ago.  The molar behind it had started to tip forward and he really missed it when chewing his favorite food….Prime Rib a J&W Cafeteria.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before OCO ISI xray

 

On the x-ray of the area you can see how the molar behind was starting to tip forward.  You can also see the sinus cavity slowly coming down.  In a few more years I suspect there would be very little height of bone.  Then it would be very difficult to replace his missing molar with a mini dental implant or even a regular conventional implant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of my biggest objections to using a regular Regular Implant
implant is the two piece design.  Anything that is made of two pieces is never going to be as strong as something that is one solid piece.  Thus a 2.5mm mini dental implant is just as strong as a larger two piece 3.75mm implant. 

I was asked to try out a different kind of regular implant.  An OCO Biomedical solid one piece regular size implant.  To replace this missing molar I would have used 2 Intra Lock Mini Dental Implants from Shatkin FIRST. 

 OCO ISI

Since there was not 8mm of height available to place the regular implant I decided to do a sinus lift by tenting the membrane with some Foundation collagen material.  The concept is to carefully penetrate the bone and then widen it just enough to place some of the Foundation material in to push the sinus membrane up and then insert the implant.  Over time the body will fill bone in around the tip of the implant in the sinus cavity.

After the Foundation bone grafting material was packed into the socket the OCO Biomedical ISI 4.0mm implant was used to push to material up into the sinus under the sinus membrane.

OCO Biomedical ISI regular implant in place ready to replace the missing upper molar.  I will have the dental lab make a all porcelain crown to replace his missing molar.  Once again notice the lack of a surgical flap, lack of blood, bruising of the tissue, no stitches or suture.  Really very minimal surgery…very similar to the placement protocol of a mini dental implant.

 

 

In the end I think there is a place for either type of implant (regular or mini dental implant).  They both work and they both work well.  It really to me is what the dentist feels works best in his/her hands and what the patients desires are.  Cost certainly is an issue with the mini dental implant being more cost effective.  If I had to to this case over again I would have a hard time choosing the best option for my patient.  Its all on what you like to do and what you are good at.  My final thoughts are that there are so many patients that have missing teeth we should encourage dentists to get trained in placing implants…mini dental implant are a great way to start.

Mini Dental Implant Roundhouse ~ Full Arch Crown and Bridge for Fixed Teeth

/in , /by

My next patient was going to be a traditional implant case.   The treatment plan he wanted was to replace all his upper missing teeth with regular implants.  This would require a sinus lift on both sides where the lost teeth had allowed the sinus to drop down with no bone left under the gum tissue.

After sinus lift rt side

 

I did the sinus lift on the patients right side first.  When I went over to the left side there was a thin section of tooth root left.  Upon removal of that root there was enough damage to the sinus membrane that I elected to let the sinus heal and would come back at a later date to finish.

Although he healed just fine….the patient elected not to do the sinus lift on the other side and asked if I could change his treatment plan to accommodate a full fixed roundhouse bridge on mini dental implants.   Of course I could…there was good bone where we did the sinus lift and I would not have to expand the bone in the anterior maxilla(front upper jaw).  This is what I believe in…minimal surgery, minimal augmentation of the bone, place what will fit and enough of them to equal the surface area of a regular size implant. 

I had the dental lab produce a wax up model of what I wanted the patient to 'test drive' in his mouth.  A IMG_8061 12 tooth bridge.  I would make this out of chairside arcylic much like a temporary crown that you wear while the dental lab is making the final porcelain crown.

Based off the 3D Cone BeamiCAT scan I decided to place some OCO Biomedical 3.0mm mini dental implants to support the back teeth and OCO Biomedical 2.5mm mini dental implants to support the front teeth.

Extraction and Immediate Placement of OCO Mini Dental Implant

/in , /by

What are mini dental implants good for?  I would say lots of things; like immediate use, less cost than a regular dental implant,less trauma, less pain, less healing and more immediate satsifaction for both me as the dentist and the patient. 

Before OCO i-mini

 

Before a one piece mini dental implant, like the OCO i-mini and OCO i-micro existed, I would have been tempted to do some heroic dentistry.  In this case a post, crown lengthening and a porcelain crown.  In a few years this patient would be back in my dental chair with my crown in her hand and we both would be frustrated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pre Implant Therapy

 

Clinical view of the broken lower front tooth.  In this case even if I wanted to do a bridge it would have been a bad idea.  The adjacent tooth (the one on the left side of the broken tooth) was part of her bridge that extends back to the molar.

 

 

 

 

So off to the OCO Biomedical tool-chest of goodies that Chris Sanchez sent me.  I found a 3.0 x 16mm mini dental implant.  Ahh…..this would work well here.

With some Salvin Peritomes (sharp dental extraction instruments used to removed the broken tooth with minimal trauma) I proceeded to extract the root.Root extracted

OCO Biomedical Mini Dental Implants ~ Improved Zest SaturnO-ring

/in , /by

Is it difficult to get 6 mini dental implant o-ball attachments to line up for an upper full denture plate? 

Upper minis

 

Several mini dental implants in the upper jaw with more than 5 degrees of divergence (off angles)

 

Is it sometimes hard for patients to line up that many snaps and figure out how to get the denture fully seated? 

Well…..sometimes yes.  As the dentist we have to put the mini dental implant where the bone is, or do another surgical procedure to make the bone ready to have all parallel mini dental implants.  To make it clear, most of my patients decline to have this additional procedure done and we work with what bone is available. 

As the patient the answer is sometimes yes as well. 

 

Transistor socketsTransistor and the socket it fits in.  You can imagine how difficult it becomes to line up the pins to fit into the socket if they are not all in line.  Even with one off angle you have to figure out which one goes in first to make the pin and socket fit together.  Very similar to the upper denture and 6 mini dental implants.

 

But hang on….now with the new Zest SaturnO-ring its a bit easier to handle off angle mini dental implants.  These new o-rings allow for up to 30 degree of correction between mini implants.  This is possible due to the housing having a Titanium Nitride race that allows the rubber o-ring to pivot inside.

Oco mini dental implant Saturno ring 

OCO Biomedical should have the Zest SaturnO-rings available to ship.   I have tried them and am sold on their ability to make snap in dentures easier for both the mini implant dentist and patient. These o-rings will fit on most mini dental implants, (IMTEC MDI, Intra Lock, Hiossen,OCO etc…)
