New patient, has pain #29 and #30. Short fill with some condensing osteitis. #29 no fill ;} and mobile. Patient wanted to keep as many teeth as possible so we opted for a retreat on #30 and immediate implant #29:
Extracted #29 and manufactured the radiographic guide. When the Thermoplast is in a translucent state, try to line up the central “hole” between the adjacent teeth central fissures:
Plan the implant without CEREC data, then add the “layers” toggling off the CEREC proposal and checking where you are in between the adjacent teeth contacts:
Its so great knowing exactly where the foramen is. Check that you have adequate thickness in your drill body:
While the drill body was milling I started the retreat on #30. I always want to know why a fill is short. Was it due to a separated file? In the axial we can see “dead space” below the fill, so no it was just short:
Finished the re treat and buildup. The Guide snaps down nicely:
I have been playing around with the In2guide stopped drills you can buy them separately. This may be a cool option as they are Zimmer compatible. I just used the 2.0 pilot then switched back to my tried and true ID drills:
The way I get around not having a stop on my drills is that I set the “D2” to the length of the drill minus the thickness of the keys which in this case was 22mm:
Not to flog a dead horse but this is an image showing the D2 for traditional keys, for the cerec keys you would just subtract 1.0mm not 1.5mm:
Implant placed and indexed manually. Very nice torque values:
Modified the fixture mount to turn it into a stock abutment:
Implant placed and temp out of occlusion. The apices of the molar were a little open, hence the mega sealer puff. This whole appointment took about 1.5 hours.
