Super Duper Toofer: Digital Guide Pilot Case with Legacy 3s
Here is a super simple case using Burbank Dental Lab with SICAT with a DigitalGuide. Somewhat short edentulous space for two pre molars, based on everything we decided to use two 3.2 implants and due to the proximity of each one we could only fit two pilot guides sleeves. That being said in soft bone…
Well he’s got a screw loose: Loose abutment and the ID Multi Torque Wrench
If you do enough implant crowns this will happen to me. It also surprises me how much of a moron I was when I first started restoring implants. If an abutment screw loosened up I would cut off the whole crown and abutment and start al over. Most of the restorations I do now are…
4.4.2 Is the New Black: Cerec Guide 2 Legacy Case with 4.4.2
Just installed version 4.4.2 for CEREC and was happy to hear we got some improvements! Typical tooth to break, upper pre molar. We are going to tackle the RCTs on 2 and 3 at the next visit. Scanning seems to go faster with 4.4.2. One thing that I noticed was cool was this “slider”…

Power To The People: CG2, Legacy Simple Guided Case
Well I’m a little embarrassed here. I finished the max crown on this implant but for some reason I can’t find any clinical surgery shots! I had a hard drive problem a bit back. So i managed to salvage a few images here and there so you will have to “trust me” that the…
Broken Ti-Base Screw: I am going to have to science the s*&t out of this
Ugh, my worst implant nightmare, the broken ti base screw! In this case a patient came in, crown in hand and part is lodged within the screw retained emax crown and the rest within the implant. Although using the native screw from the implant company you are using is NOT recommended by Sirona,…

New Year New Tooth: Immediate Legacy 2 3.0 with Cerec Guide 2
Ahh the new year! Here is a case and a call to action for GPs to learn how to do implants. Patient complained of her tooth “hanging down”. Sure enough #7 was fractured at the gumline. You can activate smile design in 4.4 at the administration step and when you are in the model phase…
Insta-tooth: Emax Screw Retained Crown on a Legacy 2 Implant in 4.4
Just a quick one, no surgery photos for some reason, must have been bloody! Legacy 2 4.5mm platform using a 4.5 TSV scan post. Pretty generic, didn’t get fancy with the stains. Little teflon tape. All done in one sitting. I get asked a lot if I divide my appointments into two visits.…
