Implants

Previous root canal from 2002 now diagnosed with a root fracture.  Extraction was done and no bone graft was placed. After 4 months of healing incomplete healing has occurred. Defect was cleaned out and a Straumann implant was placed. The space adjacent to the implant was grafted with MFDBA and allowed to heal for 4…

Patient was referred for retreatment of a silver point root canal. Upon retreatment a cracked tooth was noted. Extraction was recommended. The tooth was sectioned; the roots were used as a guide to place a Straumann implant immediately after the extraction. The patient healed quickly and without any complications.

Patient was referred for endodontic consultation and re-cementation of her bridge. This is the patients’ third bridge in 10 years. It had been recommended that the teeth be replaced with dental implants. Three implants were placed, allowed to integrate and then restored with three single unit crowns.

Cracked tooth removed and immediate implant placement; Straumann bone level implant. Total treatment time from implant placement to abutment to crown placement 3 months.

Patient presented with a sinus tract, the radiograph showed apical resorption on distal root. The tooth was extracted and the mesial root socket was grafted allowed to heal for 4 months and a Straumann tissue level implant was placed. 8 weeks later the crown was placed.

Patient was referred for endodontic retreatment of #2 and #3, both teeth were fractured. The patient’s dentist extracted and grafted the future implant sites and he returned 12 months later for implant placement. Two Straumann tissue level implants were placed and allowed to integrate for 12 weeks. He returned for abutment placement and had his…

This patient was seen by another endodontist for non-healing root canals on Teeth #19 and 20. #20 was extracted months earlier yet an infection persisted and the extraction site did not heal. The non healing site was cleaned and a fracture was noted on the mesial root of #19. After a four month healing time…

Patient presented with drainage from tooth #3. Fracture was suspected but no deep probing were noted, accessing the tooth showed a fracture present on the MB root (buccal to lingual) and the tooth was deemed non-restorable. An implant was planned on. Due to insufficient bone present a sinus lift was anticipated. The tooth was extracted;…

A lower 1st molar with a draining sinus tract from the distal root. The distal root had resorption and this was not a candidate for retreatment or microsurgery. The tooth was removed and the mesial root socket was filled with a bone graft. After 3 months of healing time a Straumann tissue level implant was…

Patient presented with pain to biting, a fracture of upper 2nd bicuspid was noted to be non-restorable. The tooth was extracted and the bone defect was repaired with a bone graft. An implant was placed after a period of healing and a temporary was placed at the same time as the implant surgery.
