An Idiot’s Guide to Restoring Single Implant Crowns (Part 1) – PDP156

One of the reasons I did not proceed further in Implant training is the sheer frustration and confusion surrounding all the components and nuances of restoring Implants. This is why I have Dr. Devang Patel sharing his 13 years of experience in the field to break every stage of restoring a single implant crown. All the terms, components and stages for implant restoration are explained during this 2 part series. https://youtu.be/TAzbZW_Yk_Y Watch PDP156 on Youtube The Protrusive Dental Pearl: How I use the software Motion to better manage my time and productivity.

If you remember Devang, he did a few episodes with us about full mouth reconstruction in 11 appointments and he went through appointment by appointment, and that episode is like a Protrusive Hall of Fame. Jaz's Introduction:In that same style Devang covers over the crosses two next episodes, the Five Different Stages of Restoring the Single Implant Crown. We're going right to the basics, starting from assessment all the way to screwing or cementing your implant crown, and we leave no stone unturned. Hello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome back to the Protrusive Dental Podcast. For me, implants are super confusing. When I was in the first few years after qualifying, I did go on some courses to learn about restoring implants, even learning about placing implants. But I just decided it wasn't my bag. It's not what excites me. Orthorestorative excites me, occlusion excites me, and implants are at the moment in my career is not something that I'm spending more energy and time on. I'm doing a lot more TMD now I'm doing restorative but who knows what's in store for my future. But as we know dentistry is a long game and that could change in the future, but I definitely needed to serve my patients better by learning more about implants in general. I think we can all do with foundational knowledge and where better to start than learning about restoring implants which is exactly what Dr Devangkumar Patel will do today. Now, please, no one be offended by the episode title, An Idiot's Guide. If you listen to the end of the episode where we discussed naming of this episode, it's a bit funny actually, but I mean this with the best intentions because actually when you listen to the interview, you'll see that I'm stopping Devang and I'm like, hang on a minute. When you say this, do you mean this? And I'm learning as we're going along. And when we're talking about internal hex and external hex, for me, that just got really confusing. So I made this analogy of like a belly button, like sticky-innie, sticky-outie. So, you'll see lots of Jazz-isms in there about me just trying to break things down, trying to make it tangible. So please, no one be offended by the title. Protrusive Dental PearlThe Protrusive Dental Pearl today is from the recent webinar I did. I did All My Productivity Secrets Revealed.
