[QUOTE="TheLabGuy, post: 262691, member: 126"] I think this brings up a bigger concern that some of us have been screaming about for years...The lack of the surgeons to include placement, implant selection, tissue level vs. bone level when it comes to the FINAL AESTHETIC RESTORATION. Most surgeons never require a surgical implant template for placement, and the sad part, the General Dentists look to the surgeons as the 'go to' folks when it comes to implants. Also, most surgeons will arrogantly state to lab techs..."I don't care about placement"..."if it's in good bone, then i get osseointegration and that's my only goal". I go back to my Pankey days and it was literally beat into our foreheads (Al Hodges remembers)...AESTHETICS, AESTHETICS, AESTHETICS. When you do a full mouth rehab, or a single crown, AESTHETICS is number one. Therefore, when you tx plan a large case or single case, put all the teeth where they look the best...then from there, decide whether endo, perio, ortho, etc... are needed. I wish Surgeons were taught this way...but so many aren't!!!! [/QUOTE]
