Q

Radiology recommendations for Dental Implantology cases

A
  • PAN
    • initial eval→ Best choice
    • asymptomatic post op assessment of extensive implant cases
  • PA
    • supplement PAN info from initial exam
    • asymptomatic post-op assessment
  • CBCT
    • do not use for:
      • initial dx exam
      • periodic review of asymptomatic implants
    • any implant should include cross-sectional imaging orthogonal to planned site
      • best choice
    • Pre-op:
      • site development,
      • augmentation procedures
      • bone reconstruction
    • Post-Op
      • Mobility
      • Altered Sensation
      • Retrieval

Q

What are the practitioners responsibilities when a CBCT is taken?

A
  • Interpret the exam findings
    • Qualified OMFRs can assist if dentist wont do
  • Review all exposed tissue volume
    • not just implant area

Q

Advantages of radiographic guides

A
  • Radio-opaque markers in guide → see implant site on x-ray
  • examine in 3D to see:
    • how close to vital structures
    • anatomical variations (ex: Lingual undercut)
  • if pre-implant procedures are needed
  • select Fixture size easily w/software
    • Length & Diameter
  • Design & make Steriolithographic guide
    • accurate implant placement

Q

Radiographic Guide: Fabrication for partially edentulous (Steps)

A
  1. Dx wax-up or teeth set up at edentulous site on dx cast
  2. Duplicate cast
  3. Make vacuform template
    1. filled with clear resin
      1. seated on original dx cast (only edentulous area)
    2. Filled with Barrium sulphate & mix w/ resin
      1. drill hole in center
  4. Place radiographic marker
    1. Gutta Percha
      1. center of restoration
    2. Lead/Aluminum foil
      1. buccal or lingual surface of restoration
18
Q

Radiographic Guide: Fabrication for completely edentulous (Steps)

A
  • 1A) Satisfactory denture
    • Duplicate denture using Lang’s Flask & Clear Resin
  • 1B) Unsatisfactory Denture or NO Denture

    • conventional
      • restricted or non-restricted
    • computerized
21
Q

Surgical Guides: Advantages

      1. drill hole in the center of template
        1. suck-down w/o resin infiltrate
          1. shows where to go “in General”
    2. Restricted Surgical Guide:
      1. Fill template w/ clear resin
      2. seat on original dx cast (w/edentulous arch)
