Implant Consultation
and Data Collection
As with any larger, more complex
dental case, the taking of preoperative
records and thorough treatment
planning are of paramount importance
when implants are prescribed —
whether it be a single-tooth replacement
or full-mouth rehabilitation. A
truly comprehensive treatment plan
consists of the following:
1. Full-arch upper and lower impressions
(preferably PVS) for the
fabrication of study models
2. An accurate bite registration
3. Full-mouth radiographs, including
a panoramic and CBCT scan (as
needed)
NOTE: If you do not have a CBCT scanner
in your office, the patient can be referred
to an imaging center.
4. Shade match of the existing dentition
5. Preoperative patient photos
While obtaining the aforementioned
records will minimize risk and optimize
the chances of success, the issue
of cost can be a limiting factor, particularly
when dealing with a CBCT scan.
If necessary, explain to the patient the
rationale for the expense of the CBCT
scan by detailing the advantages of
this technology over conventional radiography.
In instances where the cost
is prohibitive, single-tooth implant
cases can still be undertaken with
a high degree of predictability using
conventional radiography alone. Success
in such cases is largely dependent
on the experience level of the clinician,
so an honest assessment of your own
comfort level and abilities will be invaluable
in avoiding potential pitfalls.
Once you have collected the various
data mentioned above and selected
a diameter and length of implant,
forward the appropriate diagnostic
materials (i.e., impressions, models,
bite registration, shade selection and
implant size) to Glidewell Laboratories
for fabrication of the Inclusive Tooth
Replacement Solution components.
Upon receipt, the laboratory will pour
and articulate the models, then assemble
the following components:
1. Prosthetic guide (Fig. 1a)
2.Custom temporary abutment

Developing proper esthetics in an implant
case involves soft tissue contouring
that begins at a foundational level,
the moment the implant is placed.
