Mini Dental Implants - Happy with Mini Implants!
2008-02-07 23:34:00
Phil Cressman Says: January 29th, 2008 at 3:57 pm Phil Cressman, Male, aged 62 with dental problems most of my life due to enamel problems (identical twin) I recently lost a tooth that was supporting a bridge and my dentist, Ontario, Canada recommended an implant. Since mini-implants are not normally done in Canada for tooth replacements (only denture stabalization) I contacted Dr. Tood Shatkin in Buffalo, NY. Had a visit for evaluation & Dr Shatkin recommended two implants to support a two tooth crown. Without going into costs as every case is different I do believe my treatment was about 50% the price of having conventional implants placed in Ontario. The really big savings is in terms of pain & suffering. When I returned for the implants Dr Shatkin was working for only about 30 minutes (aside from freezing etc) and the results were great. (Crown had been fabricated from moulds taken at the time of my first consultation.) Actually ate dinner a few hours later & only mi...

2007-12-21 05:09:00
John Jameson - November 01, 2005 Featuring New York implant doctor Todd Shatkin Implant placement and restorative needs might be one of the top requested categories that laboratories receive today. With the evolution of implantology during the last 25 to 30 years, Dr. Todd Shatkin has become a leader of these conservative techniques, not only in regard to placement but the overall process. Dr. Jameson: First, let’s talk about the mini-implant. What is its most significant advantage as compared to the osseointegrated implants that have been on the market for the last 15 years? Dr. Shatkin: Since I’ve been in practice for 16 years, I have seen most of the major companies manufacturing conventional-style implants and have used many of these systems. All of these have great research and great statistical studies to show their wonderful success. The problem is trying to get patients to accept these treatment modalities can be difficult. As we know, a single conventional implant typi...

Mini Implant Interview with Dr. Todd E. Shatkin - OsseoNews II
2007-12-20 04:10:00
OsseoNews: Dr. Shatkin, do you have a formula or system for deciding how many mini-implants to place? For example, in a square maxillary arch how many mini-implants would you place to replace #7-8-9-10? One mini-implant per tooth? To replace #3-4-5? Would you use a mini-implant to replace #6 if it were free standing? Dr. Shatkin: At our clinic, we use one mini implant per anterior tooth and two for molar teeth. We routinely replace #6 and 11 with a 2.5 mm mini implant. OsseoNews: What is the proper or ideal alignment of the mini-implant? Long axis of the tooth replaced? What would be the alignment planned for a mini-implant to replace #8, through the long axis of the cingulum of the prior natural tooth? (This question is important since many of our online subscribers are lab owners.) Dr. Shatkin: We place the mini implant central on the available bone bissecting the buccal and lingual plates. Occasionally we use a custom abutment to angle the implant lingually. Typically we use a su...

Mini Implant Interview with Dr. Todd E. Shatkin - OsseoNews
2007-12-20 04:02:00
Osseonews: Dr. Shatkin you have been at the cutting edge in mini-dental implants. What do you think is the most significant advantage to the mini-implant? Dr. Shatkin: The most significant advantage of the mini-implant is that it is a simple procedure for the doctor and patient, it is cost effective and requires no flap or suturing in most cases. Furthermore, the mini-implant can be restored with a permanent crown or bridge restoration at the time of placement if the F.I.R.S.T. procedure is utilized. Osseonews: Could you describe the placement and exactly what makes it so simple? Dr. Shatkin: You place a surgical guide stent with a titanium tube that guides the site and angulation of the pilot drill. An additional Pilot Drill guide is used to angle the drill in the proper direction. The implant is inserted through the tube as well. This ensures perfect placement. The stent is removed for the final torquing of the implant. No need to lay a flap or used guide pins. The stent is made o...
