Complications in Implants and in Life

There are many complications you can run into with Dental Implants.
Here I catalog many of my trials and tribulations as a budding implant surgeon and family man. I cover a series of clinical complications and how to manage them. I also share my story of graduating with $800,000 in student debt, and working my way through family complications.

I have your book. I really enjoyed this presentation on your dental journey intertwined with your life.

[@DrivanddsCA]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Which book do you have?

[@Wenjie1988]

This may be a dumb question but when you mention the need for 15mm of space for all on x per arch, how exactly do you measure this or what method do you use to measure the space required predictably before the implants are placed?

[@DrivanddsCA]

Not a dumb question at all. Many people ask this. There are various ways to measure this. One simple way is to measure the patients denture thickness.
In a perfect world, you can do an ideal wax set up and measure the thickness of it. If you need more space, you can consider using alveo to gain it
