Dental implants offer a long-lasting solution to edentulism, or toothlessness. The author of this article explains his methodology for dental implants, known as "restorative address 73-422." This method helps navigate an implant start to finish, where each number corresponds to a significant measurement in the dental implant process. The author also stresses the importance of clear communication between dentist and patient, as well as dentist and surgeon, in order to ensure a successful implant experience.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
-
List the important measurements regarding the placement of the implant platform.
-
Describe the effect that each of these measurements will have on the resulting restoration.
-
Communicate necessary implant platform positions to the surgeon accurately.
