	NEW! Placement of Three 4.5 x 6.0mm Bicon SHORT® Implants, Grafting with SynthoGraft™ and Collagen Membranes, Insertion of Three CAD/CAM Integrated Abutment Crowns™ (IACs), and Papillae Improvement Posted on June 24, 2018 in Integrated Abutment Crowns™, Restorative, SHORT® Implants, Surgical, Two Stage, Uncovering This treatment demonstrates the placement of three maxillary 4.5 x 6.0mm Bicon SHORT® Implants using SynthoGraft™, a pure-phase beta tricalcium phosphate, and two collagen membranes to graft a significant bony defect. The uncovering of the implants and the making of an implant-level transfer impression, as well as the insertion of three CAD/CAM Integrated Abutment Crowns (IACs) are also shown. Note the dramatic improvement of the papillae over a short period of time.
	Nine-Year Follow-Up and CBCT Imaging of 24 Bicon SHORT® Implants and Integrated Abutment Crowns™ (IACs) Posted on February 24, 2018 in Integrated Abutment Crowns™, Restorative, SHORT® Implants This case demonstrates the nine-year follow-up, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging, and intraoral polishing of twenty-four Bicon SHORT® Implants and their individual Integrated Abutment Crowns™ (IACs). The documentation of the surgical and restorative treatments can be found at the following link: http://bit.ly/2orgcxl
	One-Stage Surgical Placement of Two Maxillary and One Mandibular Congenitally Missing Lateral Incisors with SHORT® Implants Posted on February 23, 2018 in Integrated Abutment Crowns™, One Stage, Restorative, SHORT® Implants, Surgical This treatment demonstrates the Bicon one-stage surgical technique with transmucosal Temporary Abutments for three congenitally missing lateral incisors in a 21-year-old man and their subsequent prosthetic restoration with three Integrated Abutment Crowns™(IACs).
	Insertion and Adjustment of an Eight-Unit Maxillary Telescopic TRINIA® Prosthesis on Four SHORT® Implants Posted on February 2, 2018 in SHORT® Implants This treatment demonstrates the clinical techniques for the fabrication and insertion of an eight-unit maxillary telescopic TRINIA® prosthesis on three custom cast chrome cobalt telescopic copings and one milled retentive coping, and the subsequent removal (three weeks later) of excessive polyceramic material from around the margins to eliminate irritation to the soft tissues under the prosthesis. This treatment also demonstrates the clinical compromises to healthy soft tissues caused by trying to achieve unnecessary gingival aesthetics rather than accepting supragingival titanium abutment margins.
	Implant Placement and Restoration of a Six-Unit Cemented TRINIA® Prosthesis in Only Two Clinical Visits Posted on January 18, 2018 in Extraction, Immediate Placement, SHORT® Implants This treatment demonstrates the extraction of a maxillary lateral incisor and the immediate placement of a 4.0 x 6.0-mm implant with a 2.5-mm well for a 91-year-old man. An implant-level transfer impression was made for an existing integrated molar implant and the immediately placed incisor implant. The existing molar implant, with a 3.0-mm well, was used to provide support for a temporary prosthesis during the four months of healing. The permanent TRINIA® prosthesis with six units of handcrafted polyceramic teeth was cemented at the time of the implant’s uncovering during the patient’s second clinical visit.
	Replacement of a Failed Screw-Retained Prosthesis with a Telescopic TRIO-TRINIA® Prosthesis with Milled Hybrid Polyceramic Teeth Posted on December 27, 2017 in Restorative, SHORT® Implants, Surgical, Telescopic Restorations, Uncovering This treatment for an 83-year-old woman, who presented with a failed maxillary prosthesis supported by five screw-retained IMZ implants, demonstrates the clinical capabilities of a telescopic TRINIA® prosthesis supported by only three Bicon SHORT® Implants: two 4.5 x 6.0-mm implants with a 3.0-mm well, and one 4.0 x 6.0-mm implant with a 2.5-mm well. The laboratory techniques and procedures of this treatment are also presented. After five months of healing, the implants were uncovered and a telescopic TRIO-TRINIA® prosthesis was fabricated with milled hybrid polyceramic teeth.
	Anterior Placement of Two 3.0 x 6.0mm SHORT® Implants with Mandibular Central Incisor Integrated Abutment Crowns™ Posted on December 11, 2017 in Integrated Abutment Crowns™, Restorative, SHORT® Implants, Uncovering This treatment demonstrates the placement of two 3.0 x 6.0mm SHORT® Implants with 2.0mm wells and the insertion of two mandibular central incisor Integrated Abutment Crowns™ (IACs).
	Placement of Two 4.0 x 6.0mm SHORT® Implants in the areas of Congenitally Missing Maxillary Lateral Incisors with Grafting Procedures Posted on December 11, 2017 in Integrated Abutment Crowns™, Restorative, SHORT® Implants This treatment demonstrates the placement of two 4.0 x 6.0mm SHORT® Implants for the replacement of congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors using harvested autogenous bone, SynthoGraft™ (a pure phase beta-tricalcium phosphate), collagen membranes, and leukocyte platelet-rich fibrin (LPRF) membranes.
	The Insertion of Two Contiguous Implants into a Mandibular Bone Void Using Sinus Lift Abutments with SynthoGraft®, and Their Subsequent Restoration with Two Integrated Abutment Crowns™ Posted on July 12, 2017 in Integrated Abutment Crowns™, SHORT® Implants This treatment demonstrates the insertion of a 4.0 x 6.0mm implant and a 4.5 x 6.0mm implant into two contiguous mandibular osteotomies, which communicated with each other because of a bone void. After preparation of the implant osteotomies through the crest of cortical bone, the soft tissue content of the bone void was thoroughly removed from the bony walls of the defect with a spoon excavator prior to filling the defect with a putty-like consistency of the patient’s blood and SynthoGraft®, a pure-phase beta-tricalcium phosphate. A sinus lift abutment was used to prevent the implants from being displaced into the defect. Subsequently, the implants were restored with Universal Abutments and Integrated Abutment Crowns (IACs).
	Guided Bone Regeneration Technique and Implant Placement in an Atrophic Mandibular First Molar Site Posted on May 10, 2017 in Integrated Abutment Crowns™, Restorative, SHORT® Implants, Uncovering This treatment offers an alternative to ridge splitting procedures, demonstrating the molar implant placement and simultaneous guided bone regeneration of a 56-year-old woman’s atrophic left mandible. Because of the very thin and dense crestal bone, a high-speed drill was used to initiate the osteotomy prior to the successive use of latch and hand reamers, and the placement of a 4.5 x 6.0mm implant, which was covered with SynthoGraft™ within a collagen membrane pocket. The 5-year post-insertion clinical and radiographic images reveal a successful treatment with significant bone gain.
