Encode soft tissue models

[2thm8kr]

Err . . . I am not too sure about that one. Without the benefit of an X-ray of where the actual
bone level is, how thick the soft tissues are around the implant, sometimes the platform
is totally supragingival, then you can be sure.
If the pt starts to hurt when the DDS try to insert the abutment/crown, and now a local anesthetic
is needed to insert, things can get cranky in the room.
And if this was an anterior, you do not design the right emergence profile, finish line level, etc,
someone may have to do alot of adjustments after the fact.
Just saying . . .

I have access to all of the xrays on our patients. I have been working with this surgeon for almost 20 years and he gives me great patient notes.
Never been a problem for us. Everything is platform switched when possible which gives a bit of wiggle room as well.

Good to know, maybe he should change to a better system then!

So good to have a DDS who takes his time to do due diligence, esp. for an oral surgeon no less!
Where is he practicing? Good person to know in case need a referral for someone moving into your neck of the wood.
