Implants

I 15 user report_ Camlog I implants1_2013 signed cantilever bridge. Her medical history was clear and she had a heavily restored dentition that was otherwise well maintained. Her oral hygiene was excellent. (Fig 3) Following a full clinical and radio- graphic examination I opted to extract all four incisors with immediate implant placement. In this case, I chose to re- place each tooth with a dental implant. Not something I would routinely do, however, I was concerned about the long-term prognosis of some of her up- per posterior teeth and this would give me the option of creating a reduced dental arch, with minimal future inter- vention should the need arise. The sockets were thoroughly debrided and implant osteotomies were prepared to engage the palatal shelf and ensure good primary stability (Fig 4). All four sites were prepared to receive 3.8mm x 11mm Conelog® Implants. The implants were placed and covered with the clo- sure screw provided. Any local defects were augmented with Bio-Oss particles and a Bio-Guide membrane was used to stabilise the graft material. (Fig 5) The healing was uneventful and the implants were uncovered after approxi- mately 12 weeks. Large wide body heal- ing caps were inserted to commense site development. This was followed by open-tray pick-up impressions two weeks later. (Figs 6&7) The laboratory produced four cast abutments. These were milled parallel and a five-unit fixed porcelain fused to metal bridge was constructed as the de- finitive restoration. This was cemented in place to achieve an excellent final re- sult. (Figs 8-10) “I have been placing and restoring CAMLOG implants for several years with great success, due to its precision and simplicity in both the surgical and re- storative aspects. The system also offers complete versatility with terrific afford- ability, without compromise. CAMLOG has well over 10 years history of use and clinical studies to back it up. For my pa- tients, I want to provide the best treat- ment and materials I can.” _Case Study 2 Andrew Chandrapal BDS MFGDP(UK) DPDS(Bris) MClinDent(Pros) qualified from Birmingham University and rapidly progressed to achieve further qualifica- tions and training which form the basis of his special interests, dental cosmetics, bonding rehabilitation and management of wear.
