The patient was diagnosed with Stage IV, Grade B periodontitis, presenting with generalized severe horizontal alveolar bone loss and advanced tooth mobility. Management necessitated comprehensive full-arch rehabilitation based on a prosthetically driven treatment approach.

A fully digital workflow, incorporating facial scanning, intraoral scanning, and photogrammetry, was utilized to facilitate precise virtual treatment planning and accurate capture of implant positions and occlusal relationships. This enabled the immediate delivery of a fixed provisional prosthesis.

Surgical reconstruction was performed according to the PATZI protocol, involving the placement of pterygoid, nasal rim, and tilted implants to optimize cortical bone engagement. High primary stability (insertion torque >60 Ncm) supported immediate loading.

This approach allowed for favorable biomechanical load distribution, reduced cantilever effects, and enhanced stability of the definitive full-arch prosthesis.

I’m excited and truly honored to be speaking at the Neodent Symposium this October, where I’ll be presenting on Why Soft Tissue Matters: Elevating Predictability and Success in Full Arch Treatment—a topic I’m deeply passionate about.

I’m especially excited to gain insights from the many talented friends and colleagues who will also be presenting: .athena_dds .nelson.dds.md

Big thank you to the Neodent team .us for the invitation and for organizing such an impressive lineup. Can’t wait! 💪🏼

Stage IV Grade B periodontal disease is an advanced chronic inflammatory condition characterized by extensive periodontal destruction, resulting in generalized severe horizontal alveolar bone loss and Class III mobility, consistent with a terminal dentition. Management utilizing the PFAST protocol allows for immediate implant placement and delivery of a rigidly splinted provisional prosthesis, thereby restoring function, esthetics, and phonetics on the same day. In this case, surgical complexity was increased following extraction of a partially bony impacted, grossly carious and ankylosed #16; fortunately, sufficient engagement of the pterygomaxillary pillar enabled achievement of primary stability, with an insertion torque of 45 Ncm for the left pterygoid implant.

Last week, our patient care coordinator Shelby shared her gender reveal with us at the office and we couldn’t be more excited! After all boys on both sides, they’re finally welcoming a baby girl 💝

Congratulations, Shelby! We’re so happy for you 💕

Engagement of the palatal cortical plate is essential for achieving predictable immediate loading of dental implants. Anchoring the implant within this dense cortical bone provides sufficient primary stability, even when the surrounding cancellous bone in the extraction socket is of relatively low density. Such cortical engagement increases insertion torque and minimizes micromotion during the early healing phase, thereby enhancing implant stability and supporting successful osseointegration.

Our office will close at 2pm today due to severe weather in the area. The safety of our patients and team comes first. Thank you for understanding and stay safe!

Engaging the palatal cortical plate is a critical prerequisite for predictable immediate loading. By obtaining anchorage within the dense palatal cortical bone, sufficient primary stability can be achieved despite the presence of relatively low-density cancellous bone surrounding the extraction sockets. This cortical engagement enhances insertion torque and reduces micromotion during the critical early healing phase.

The anterior implants were oriented toward the nasal crest, a dense osseous structure extending in an anteroposterior direction posterior to the anterior nasal spine. Utilizing this anatomical landmark provides additional cortical stabilization and contributes to improved biomechanical support of the prosthesis.

The posterior implants were intentionally tilted medially and facially. This angulation facilitates avoidance of the maxillary sinus while maximizing engagement of the facial cortical plate, thereby increasing bone-to-implant contact within higher-density bone.

Multi-unit abutments (MUAs) were employed to correct implant angulation and to optimize the trajectory of screw access channels, ensuring prosthetically favorable positioning and improved restorative outcomes.

As I reflect on this past week at ORCAA, my heart is overflowing with gratitude and inspiration. What began as a focused effort on remote anchorage surgeries has evolved into a comprehensive implant education program—an extraordinary testament to vision, dedication, and purpose.

It is a profound honor to stand alongside this remarkable team and to help shape and mentor the next generation of full-arch surgeons. Reconnecting with longtime friends while forging new relationships made the experience all the more meaningful.

May we continue to refine and advance our protocols, push the boundaries of excellence, and most importantly, transform lives through the work we do in our private practices. Viva ORCAA! Until next time!

AIP’s Lab Manager & Lab Technician, Alex and Jacob, had the exciting opportunity to travel to Chicago last weekend to attend Lab Day Chicago, one of the largest dental laboratory trade shows in the country.

Throughout the event, they immersed themselves in the latest innovations, technologies, and materials shaping the future of the dental lab industry. From engaging product demonstrations to hands-on learning experiences, the weekend was filled with valuable insights and inspiration. They connected with a wide range of lab vendors, industry leaders, and fellow professionals, exchanging ideas and discovering new solutions to enhance efficiency, precision, and patient outcomes.

Beyond the educational opportunities, the event provided a fantastic platform for networking and strengthening relationships within the dental community.

Alex & Jacob returned energized, motivated, and excited to implement new ideas and advancements that will continue elevating the quality and service AIP provides!

Root Submergence Technique (RST) involves decoronation and intentional retention of a vital or endodontically treated root beneath the mucosa to preserve the periodontal ligament–bundle bone complex. First described by Harold O. Miller in the 1970s, the technique is now considered part of partial extraction therapy. Literature published in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry and other peer-reviewed sources supports RST as an effective method for maintaining alveolar ridge dimensions and soft tissue architecture —factors critical for pontic site development in FP1 reconstruction cases. A nice tool to have in the toolbox.

Don’t settle for anything less than the smile you deserve. Schedule your consultation today and begin your transformation!
