Welcome to Episode 52 of the Protrusive Dental podcast. This is the part two of the implant series with Dr. Hassan Maghaireh. Hope you enjoyed that part one we think about when you're actually getting into implant when you're thinking about starting implant journey. Is it right for you? Because that was the last episode.

How would you assess the space, the mouth, the patient that might be suitable for implants? What are the patients to avoid? What about smoking? What about Peri-implantitis? What about bisphosphonates? So you really look into the nitty gritty clinical details about selecting patients that are suitable for implants particularly if you're starting out.

The setup was great, the hands on was awesome. The food is always on point. Thanks to Payman Langroudi, that man. So the pearl I want to share with you is about line angles, right? So when we're placing our restorations,
