36 I I clinical _ implant retained crowns implants1_2012 bone rather than sinus involvement. The UL5 implant was positioned close to the sinus membrane, but no internal lifting of the mem- brane was carried out, and as our planning had highlighted this close positioning, I checked for and found that it was clear of perforations. The final treatment was surgically safe and sound and the patient’s periodontal health has remained stable. The patient was happy with the outcome and the natural aesthetic appear- ance of the prosthesis therefore the patient’s expectations have been met satisfactorily. The treatment that was executed holds a great prognosis, as was explained in detail to the patient, who was shown how to effectively keep her mouth and the prosthesis clean. As outlined above, the risk of component fracture and teeth maintenance had been already dis- cussed with the patient. The pocketing has substantially reduced on the UR4 to midpoint 2mms, mesiobuccally 3mms and mesiopalatally 4mms._ implants Dr Shushil Dattani BDS, MFGDP(UK), Dip- ImpDent RCS (Eng) Shushil qualified from the Royal London in 2000, followed by a two year programme and membership of the Faculty of General Dental Practice at the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons.
