Maurice Salama - (9/17/2009 8:11 AM)
Dr. Chan;
Thanks for the post. I always try to avoid the roots when placing these tacks but since they have a small diameter and a length of roughly 1mm, it is likely that they only penetrate the labial plate and not the root or PDL. If inadvertent penetration of the root was slight it most probably would not have a negative implication as these tacks are then removed at re-entry a few months later. I have not yet seen a tooth become non-vital or a small perio lesion initiated by the use of these bone tacks. More likely problems with adjacent root contact would be an issue when using bone fixation screws which are much larger 1.6-2.0mm and have lengths of 6-12mm.
Good luck
Dr. Salama

Dear Dr. Salama,
I notice that the bone tacks are placed directly over the roots of the adjacent teeth, is the chance of injuring the adjacent roots totally negligible?

Optimizing Tissue Esthetics of Single Tooth Implants
With optimized planning, precise placement of the fixture, and the use of laser technology to reduce tissue trauma we can minimize the bone and tissue changes during the surgical phase. During the restorative phase creation of proper tissue contours using the CO2 laser and control of tooth form to position tissue set the stage for obtaining optimal esthetic results.

Alveolar Ridge Regenerative Strategies: Autogenous Bone vs BMP-2
This clinical based presentation will compare the use of autogenous bone vs BMP-2 for alveolar ridge reconstruction. The science, indications, advantages and disadvantages of each approach will be featured. Single tooth to full arch reconstruction cases will also be shown along with understanding the application of non-resorbable vs resorbable mesh barriers for alveolar ridge reconstruction.

Replacement of a Mutilated Maxillary Incisor With a Single Implant Restoration: A Staged Implant
Patients are advised to maintain oral health in order to enjoy function and the natural appearance of their dentition for a lifetime. In the event that oral health becomes impaired, clinicians are capable of restoring it through either conservative or sophisticated treatment modalities. This treatment must be based on sound, rationalized clinical evidence and a clear understanding of the biological and physiological processes involved. Dental professionals must also acknowledge their personal limitations…

Does residual cement around implant-supported restorations cause peri-implant disease? A retrospective case analysis
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between patients with a history of periodontitis and development of cement-related peri-implant disease. Seventy-seven patients with 129 implants for this retrospective analysis were selected from completed implant cases that were scheduled for regular maintenance or had experienced mechanical or biological complications between years 2006 and 2011 in private practice. Implants with extracoronal residual cement and implants without cement remnants were analyzed.
