Image	Photo Description
	Dental Implant smile makeover in a phobic 32 year old female. Nine teeth were extracted and six dental implants and crowns were placed. The patient received IV conscious sedation for the surgeries. Photo #1 of 2.
	Oral rehabilitation with Dental Implants in a phobic 32 year old female. Before and after Panoramic x-rays. Nine teeth were extracted and six dental implants and crowns were placed. Photo #2 of 2.
	Eight dental implants in the lower jaw with two porcelain-fused-to-metal bridges cemented on top. How to photos. The first photo shows the patient wearing his lower partial denture and the second photo shows him with his lower denture removed; he only had four teeth remaining in his lower jaw and these were in poor health. The third photo shows healing abutments on the dental implants and the fourth photo shows impression transfer copings in place. The fifth photo shows the dental implant abutments on the lab model and the sixth photo shows the metal framework for the two porcelain-metal bridges. The seventh photo shows the metal framework tried on the laboratory master model and the eighth photo shows one of the porcelain-metal bridges on the lab master model several weeks later. The last two photos show an occlusal and facial view of the final result. This case took nearly twelve months to complete; the upper jaw will be ready for teeth on one more month. The next CT scans are for this patient.
	CT (CAT) scan planning dental implants for the upper and lower jaws, the maxilla and mandible. This shows the volume of bone into which the implants may be placed. The absence of bone in the upper jaw will require a sinus lift (elevation) before placement of dental implants. The four remaining teeth in the lower jaw will be removed.
	Side view of a CT (CAT) scan used for planning dental implants in both jaws.
	CT (CAT) scan of the lower jaw. Using a computer the dental implants are superimposed over the lower jaw to help the Oral Surgeon plan the dental implant surgery.
	Occlusal (top) view of a CT scan of the lower jaw. Using a computer the dental implants are superimposed over the lower jaw to help the Oral Surgeon plan the dental implant surgery. Note the implants need to be placed within the width of the jaw bone.
	How to Pictures - Intramucosal Insert Dental Implants are a simple and effective means to retain a maxillary complete or partial denture. These mushroom-shaped titanium implants are embedded into the acrylic underside of a denture. Special burs create soft tissue receptor sites in the palatal tissue that retains these implants. The technique is described in the Dental Articles section located above. Photo #1 of 2.
	How to Pictures - Intramucosal Insert Dental Implants Armamentarium. 1) and 2) Top and Side Photos. From left to right: latch-type initial tissue preparation bur, latch-type tissue undercut bur, two intramucosal insert implants, long-shank initial denture preparation bur, and long-shank denture excess acrylic removal bur. A purple vibrating line pencil is on top. The technique is described in the Dental Articles section located above. Photo #2 of 2.
	Two dental implant healing screws for teeth implants. Please visit the Dental Textbooks section listed at the top of this page for a fabulous historical background of dental implants.
	Dental implants cover screw removal and placement of a healing abutment. 1) Dental implant in the lower first molar position with the cover screw in place. 2) Cover screw removed showing the female threading inside the first stage dental implant. 3) The healing abutment being screwed in place. 4) The healing abutment in place on the tooth implant.
	Surgical isolation of a first stage dental implants in the upper premolar area and placement of a healing collar. Pictures 1) Initial oral surgery incision. 2) Identification of the dental implant cover screw. 3) Cover screw removal reveals the internal female threading of the first stage tooth implant. 4) Placement of the healing collar.
	Dental implants surgery for the first stage dental implant in the lower first molar position. The abutment teeth have minimal restorations. 1) The pre-operative photo. The clinical exam revealed sufficient width and depth of alveolar bone for the placement of the tooth implant. 2) The Oral Surgeon made an osteotomy with a Sterioss bur with internal irrigation. 3) An x-ray taken to assure enough room between the apex of the tooth implant and the inferior alveolar nerve. 4) Sterioss bur in position. 5) - 6) Dental implant placed with carrier still attached. 7) Xray of the tooth implant confirming correct placement. 8) Primary closure of surgical site. Osseointegration will take approximately four months.

	How to pictures and x-rays. Removal of a retained primary molar and placement of a dental implant. 1) Intraoral photo of the retained primary baby tooth molar in the second premolar position. 2) Radiograph of this tooth. Note that these retained primary teeth can remain in the mouth many years. This tooth was finally getting loose in this 37 year-old female. 3) Primary oral surgery closure after removal of the tooth and placement of the tooth implant. The dental implant was placed at the same time as the tooth extraction because the extracted tooth was not infected and its removal did not leave a void in bone. 4) Initial location of the first stage dental implant four months later. 5) Occlusal photo after removal of the healing screw at four months. 6) X-ray at four months. 7) Healing collar in place. 8) Xray of the dental implant with the healing collar in place.
	Combination of dental implants. Three unilateral subperiosteal dental implants (two upper and one lower) that vary in age from 5-16 years, seven anterior implants (three upper and four lower) that vary in age from 3-11 years, and one lower posterior molar with a telescopic coping that has remained intact for 16 years. Subperiosteal dental implants work! For more information visit Page 20 of Theories and Techniques of Oral Implantology (vol.1) by Dr. Linkow.
	Dental Implants surgery. 1) Marking pin placed to check angulation and depth of the tooth implant to be placed. 2) Sterioss Replace dental implant in position awaiting osseointegration healing.
Information about these dental photos In medicine and dentistry "left" and "right" are based upon the orientation of the patient's body and not how they appear in a photograph of a smile. For example, a reference to the upper left teeth will actually appear to be on the right side when viewing a picture of the face and similarly an upper right tooth will appear to be on the left side. Many words in dentistry like oral and mouth have a similar meaning and are frequently used together to help our readers find specific words they best understand. This is particularly important because a majority of our visitors are from countries where English is not their primary language. Maxilla or maxillary refer to the upper jaw. Mandible or mandibular refer to the lower jaw. There are many other similar word combinations used throughout this website because our pages are read by patients and dentists. A few of the most common are discussed here. Tooth decay, tooth cavity and dental caries all mean the same thing. Tooth, teeth and dental are also frequently interchanged as in teeth veneers or dental veneer laminate. Oral rehabilitation and dental reconstruction mean smile makeover. The word for x-ray may be used with or without a hyphen (this is true for other words too) and can also be called a radiograph.
