Show Notes
Today we pick up where we left off on the 1st part of Group Function Episode 13 “Can I Probe This Implant?” In this episode I asked Dr Pav Khaira about bone loss around implants – what is normal and when should I worry? Another very interesting and controversial issue we tackled is how to manage implant screw loosening as a GDP?
“If every single year you’re losing one millimeter (of bone) that’s obviously an issue and we need to intervene and do something,” Dr Pav Khaira
In this episode we discussed:
- Normal bone loss for average implants 1:53
- Guidelines for GDPs managing loose implant screws 5:03
- Universal Implant Drivers? 10:45
