how dose this tapered wide body implant compared with straigh wide body implant with internal hex?Would it work the same way or do we need to see more clinical evedence?Booth this straight and tapered( tapered looks more bone friendly)wide body implant is a practical clinical solution.i hope dr.Arlin can answer this.Thanks great lecture.

It's nice to see what common sense has been to me for years is being practiced with clinical success. I look forward to 5 year follow ups. Thanks.

[quote=Muray Arlin][quote=Kenneth Serota]Regardless of the axial placement or the diametral size of the fixture, platform switching needs are essential...not evident and unfortunately saucerization seems to characterize the vast majority of the restored cases......Dr. Weigl's and Dr. Saynor's presentations address the reality that the concerns about tissue support and contour can be obviated by fixture design and precise cone connection. The ANKYLOS system allows you go to 5.5 and I'm not totally certain about the D size...point being that deep and wide is simply old engineering....I fear that reverting to even larger fixtures is an invitation to disaster for the inexperienced.[/quote]

Hi Ken and thans for your comments. Once we get to Part II I will demonstrate the Max 8mm and 9mm implants which incorporate a Platform Shift.[/quote]

Another point Ken on the wide diameter implant, is that I agree that going too wide can be dangerous if used in the wrong situations. I addressed this in the beginning of the seminar part I. When we get to Part II you will see that an 8mm or 9mm implants can be placed comfortably in most immediate molar extraction sites, while still respecting the surgical protocol of staying about 2mm lingual to the facial bone. These diameters can rarely if ever be safely used in healed sites where we are confronted with the inevitable post extraction shrinkage.

Yes they are not synchronized well after the first few minutes. I will contact Dental XP to see if this can be improved.
