	25-Year Follow Up for a Single Canine Bicon Implant Posted on July 23, 2019 in Porcelain Fused to Metal, Restorative This long-term case study demonstrates the restoration of a failed endodontically-treated canine with a single Bicon implant with eight-year, fourteen-year, and twenty-five-year post insertion follow-up evaluations. Although we have added new restorative options over the years and our implants have become much shorter, these techniques are still used today and showcase the simplicity of restoring a Bicon implant, as if it were a natural tooth. This case also exemplifies the long-term performance and excellent bone maintenance of Bicon over a twenty-five-year period.
	Replacing an Implant-Retained Overdenture with Four Locator Abutments with a Handcrafted Polyceramic TRINIA® Telescopic Prosthesis on Four Universal Abutments with Four Milled Retentive Copings in Only Two Restorative Visits Posted on August 10, 2017 in Overdentures, Porcelain Fused to Metal This treatment demonstrates the clinical and laboratory aspects for the fabrication and insertion of a handcrafted polyceramic TRINIA® telescopic restoration on four unmodified Universal Abutments with four milled retentive copings to replace an implant-retained overdenture with four Locator Abutments for an eighty-four-year-old man, who was not satisfied with his Locator retained prosthesis. During the first clinical visit, after the clinical evaluation and consult, the patient’s four Locator abutments were removed and a full arch implant-level transfer impression was made along with a tooth shade and an initial occlusal registration, for the fabrication of a Gothic Arch plate and stylus. Subsequent to the fabrication of the Gothic Arch devices, a second occlusal registration was made and the patient’s existing Locator abutments were reinserted prior to reinserting his existing overdenture. During the second clinical visit, the Locator abutments were removed and four unmodified Universal Abutments were inserted using two light-cured resin orientation and seating jigs as sequenced according to the technician’s numerical markings on the master soft tissue model. Once the abutments were properly seated and the four milled retentive copings were passively fitted to the handcrafted polyceramic TRINIA® prosthesis, the copings were cemented with a resin cement into the bores of the TRINIA® framework, prior to delivering the new telescopic prosthesis to the patient.
	Insertion of a Two-Unit TRINIA® Prosthesis to Replace an Ill-Fitting Prosthesis Posted on July 10, 2017 in Porcelain Fused to Metal This treatment demonstrates the insertion of a two-unit TRINIA® prosthesis for maxillary central incisor implants in a 71-year-old male, who presented with an ill-fitting, splinted Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) prosthesis.
	Restoration of a Poorly Positioned Maxillary Incisor Posted on July 14, 2016 in Porcelain Fused to Metal, Restorative This case demonstrates how to restore a poorly positioned maxillary anterior implant, which has a trajectory of roughly a 45° angle relative to the long axis of the adjacent teeth.
	Restoration of a Maxillary Right Lateral Incisor with an Integrated Abutment Crown™ and the Two Adjacent Teeth with Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns Posted on August 17, 2012 in Integrated Abutment Crowns™, Porcelain Fused to Metal, Restorative This case demonstrates the restoration of a maxillary right canine with a 4.0 x 8.0mm Bicon implant, Integrated Abutment Crown™, and two natural incisors with porcelain fused to metal crowns.
	Restoration of Two Maxillary Incisors with Two 4.0 x 8.0mm Implants Posted on July 13, 2012 in Integrated Abutment Crowns™, Porcelain Fused to Metal, Restorative, Surgical, Uncovering This case demonstrates the restoration of two maxillary incisors with two 4.0 x 8.0mm Bicon implants, two Bicon Integrated Abutment Crowns™, and two natural incisors with porcelain fused to metal crowns.
	Restoration of Seven Integrated Abutment Crowns™ Posted on July 13, 2012 in Integrated Abutment Crowns™, Porcelain Fused to Metal, Restorative, SHORT® Implants, Sinus Lifts, Surgical, Uncovering This case demonstrates the use of two previously restored maxillary canine implants, whose ten year old porcelain fused to metal (PFM) restorations were ultimately replaced with Integrated Abutment Crowns® (IACs) after the implants were used to support a composite transitional prosthesis during the healing of four maxillary incisor implants. Additionally, the restoration of a maxillary molar implant with a sinus lift abutment will be shown.
	Extraction, Immediate Placement and Stabilization of Six Bicon Implants and their Restoration with Integrated Abutment Crowns™ and a PFM Bridge Posted on May 15, 2007 in Extraction, Immediate Stabilization and Function, Integrated Abutment Crowns™, Porcelain Fused to Metal, Restorative, Surgical This case demonstrates the extraction of six anterior teeth, insertion of four maxillary and two mandibular immediately placed, stabilized, and functioning implants, implant level transfer impression, metal try-in, and their restoration with Integrated Abutment Crowns™, a PFM bridge, as well as two Procera crowns cemented on natural teeth.
	Two Stage and Immediate Full Mouth Placement of Sixteen Bicon Implants and their Restoration with Integrated Abutment Crowns™ as well as the Restoration of Five Non-Bicon Implants with PFMs Posted on October 11, 2006 in Immediate Stabilization and Function, Integrated Abutment Crowns™, Porcelain Fused to Metal, Restorative, SHORT® Implants, Surgical, Two Stage This case demonstrates the full mouth restoration of twenty-one implants with the placement of twelve two stage and four immediately placed and stabilized implants including 5.0mm x 6.0mm short implants, implant level transfer impressions, occlusal registration, and insertion of twelve Integrated Abutment Crowns™ including three two-unit Integrated Abutment Crowns™, as well as the cementation of five PFM crowns on five non-Bicon implants.
	Restoration of Two Mandibular Molar Short Implants with Extra-Orally Cemented Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns Posted on August 10, 2005 in Porcelain Fused to Metal, Restorative, SHORT® Implants This case demonstrates the restoration of two mandibular molars using two 5.0mm x 6.0mm short implants and extra-orally cemented porcelain fused to metal restorations.
