Placement and Immediate Loading with a Mandibular Full-Arch TRINIA® Prosthesis of Four Fixed-Detachable Universal Abutment Transitional Implants

Posted on in Bridges, Fixed, Immediate Stabilization and Function, Restorative, SHORT® Implants, Surgical, Two Stage

This case demonstrates the placement of two 4.0 x 6.0mm and two 4.0 x 8.0mm Standard Profile Fixed-Detachable Universal Abutment Transitional Implants using guided surgery and their immediate loading with a mandibular full-arch screw-retained TRINIA® prosthesis with cemented copings within the bores of the TRINIA® prosthesis, subsequent to the placement of four Bicon SHORT® Implants also using guided surgery for their 2.0mm pilot osteotomies.

Fabrication and Insertion of an Extra-Orally Cemented Zirconia Crown on a Custom Abutment Digitally Designed and Milled from a Bicon Millable Abutment Blank

Posted on in SHORT® Implants

This case demonstrates the simple and straightforward technique for restoring a maxillary molar with a Bicon SHORT® Implant and a digitally-designed Zirconia crown using a Bicon Millable Abutment Blank to mill a custom abutment. Since Bicon’s unique locking taper allows for crowns to be cemented extra-orally, extraneous cement can be completely avoided.

Two Full-Arch TRINIA® Telescopic Restorations Featuring Seven Implant Placements and the Use of Both Retentive and Custom Cast Copings for a Seventy-Year-Old Patient in Five Clinical Visits

Posted on in Extraction, Fixed, Immediate Placement, Restorative, SHORT® Implants, Surgical, Telescopic Restorations, Two Stage, Uncovering

This case demonstrates the extraction of six teeth and the placement of four maxillary implants (two using sinus lift abutments and others using bone grafting procedures with SynthoGraft™ and Bicon Resorbable Collagen Membranes) and three mandibular implants, uncovering of implants and two conventional implant-level transfer impressions, two occlusal bite registrations, insertion of the mandibular TRINIA® restoration with three cemented Retentive Copings on Universal Abutments and the insertion of the maxillary TRINIA® restoration with four custom cast Sci-tec copings on modified Universal Abutments for a seventy-year-old female patient. The entire treatment was achieved in only five clinical visits during a seven-month period without fabricating any new transitional prostheses.

Replacing Three 25-Year-Old O-Ring Abutments with Three Universal Abutments for the Fabrication of a Mandibular TRINIA® Telescopic Full-Arch Prosthesis for a Seventy-Three-Year-Old Patient

Posted on in Overdentures, Restorative, Telescopic Restorations

This case demonstrates the removal of three 25-year-old O-Ring Abutments, implant-level impression technique, gothic arch tracing, placement of three Universal Abutments, cementation of retentive copings, and the insertion of a TRINIA® telescopic full-arch prosthesis on three mandibular implants for a seventy-three-year-old female patient.

Additionally, note the complete compatibly and interchangeability of Bicon components manufactured over two decades ago as well as the healthy mucosa and bone levels around twenty-four-year-old implants.
