Jack Canfield supplies a juicy quote about FEAR to start this episode. We then break into the last paper in the ITI consensus group and discuss Peri implantitis Treatment Guidelines. We continue on our book review of Good to Great by Jim Collins. Pay systems are discussed in the context of attaining the best out of people. Being rigorous but not ruthless is important and minimize churn. Details on how to know if you have the correct person are highlighted. The interesting case goes over a long term implant failure secondary to cement retention.
In this episode, we begin a new book review which will be the best to date. Jim Collins and his book Good to Great will be discussed in the upcoming episodes starting with this one. We’ll also discussed implant complications and management of those complications. The interesting case will be a cleft lip and palate patient that has an alveolar bone graft using bone morphogenic protein. Pictures during the surgery will show the size of the defect, the anatomy of the defect and filling of the defect. This show will not disappoint!
In this episode we finish our review of 80/20 Sales and Marketing by Perry Marshall. In addition we go over the ITI Consensus Statements on implant loading protocols and review a case of ankoglossia. This tongue tied patient had the frenulum released using a CO2 laser in the office. You will find a video showing the procedure in real-time with a giggling 11 year old!

ITI Consensus Statement
Group #3
Optimizing Esthetic Outcomes in Implant Dentistry
Restorative Procedures affect esthetic outcomes
Limited RCT and data accuracy about this topic
Simple, Advanced, Complex ranking system allows you to rank the complexity and difficulty of implant cases.
Prevention is key because sometime it is impossible to improve the esthetics after the implant is in place.
1mm or greater of midfacial recession 25% over time with implant placement 9-41% range
Thin facial bone or a lack there of, facial placement of the implant and thin biotype all lead to recession.
A small number of studies suggest that there may be no recession with immediate placement.
Esthetic results can occur with immediate, early or late implant placement but each has it’s own challenges
Immediate implants require a clinician with a high degree of skill.
Correct implant placement with 2mm of bone between the facial surface of the implant and the facial soft tissue. If this cannot be met then early placement is preferred.
Use ridge preservation and soft tissue grafting may be required. There are no consensus on what procedures are best or preferred.
A team approach is recommended, diagnose the problem, set appropriate patient expectations and smile line. Look at the restoration contour and implant position.
Grafting and salvage of unaesthetic implants is unpredictable.
Platform switching can be helpful to improve esthetics.
Immediate loading is only recommended in the esthetic zone and limited.
Avoid over contoured restorative materials and abutments. Use esthetic abutments in the esthetic zone!
Screw retained temporary restorations are used during uncovering to hold the palatal roll forward for 10-12 weeks to maximize facial soft tissue esthetics and volume.
