Procedure Performed
--------------------------- 
SURGEON 1:  Joseph Krajekian, D.M.D., M.D.
DENTAL ASSISTANT : Rae and Shawna

OPERATION/PROCEDURE : 
   Simple extraction :
   Surgical Extraction :
   Alveoplasty :

    Placement of 4 Bone Graft, membrane and 4 Dental Implants

    Position 20,23,26,29 (Implant placement x 4 (mandible) :

                  ABDE position according to Misch protocol)

​

​

After proper time for local anesthesia to work.
Mouth prop utilized, throat pack used followed by sweetheart.

Simple Exo: were performed with use of elevator, and appropriate forcepts.

​

Surgical extractions and root tip were performed in standard oral and maxillofacial surgery fashion with use 15 blade intra-suclular incision, periosteol elevator to reflect full thickness mucoperiosteol flap, straight elevator,  drill used with copious irrigation to section the tooth and create a purchase point. All attempts were made to preserve the buccal wall.  Tooth was then removed by elevators/crane picks and rongeur.

Following extraction rongeur was used to smooth the bone (alveoplasty)  after full the mucoperiosteol flap was reflected and remove any sharp edges that may protrude through the gingiva.  Bone file was used to smoothen any rough edges. 

​

With use of sequential drilling sequence per Straumann guidelines 800/600 RPM with chilled saline Round bur was then used to create the bone osteotomy holes x4 (A/B/D/E position) and they were place in canine and 1/2 premolar position bilaterally. The mental nerve was identified during the dissection and avoided during sequential drilling. Careful attention was make to protect and not to stretch the nerve.

 

Next the pilot drill was placed at 8mm  depth in 4 osteotomies and Panorex was taken to confirm placement, angulation. Appropriate adjustment were made and the osteotomies were completed with copious irrigation.  Angulation and position was confirmed again prior to placement of implant via panorex. Which seemed satisfactory. Implant were then placed in following sequence below

​

After implant placement bone graft placed followed with membrane and 3.0 vycril suture to obtained primary closure tension free.

​

Implant Position

Canine Positions B/C implant Position
4.1  x 10 mm Straumann BL with Cover screw @ 35 N

​

PreMolar Positions   A/D

​

Areas was then closed with 3.0 gut suture and patient discharged in stable condition after showing the patient picture of panorex demonstrating the implants placements. 

All patient and escort questions were answered prior to discharge
