There are some many allografts on the market: Amnion (Biocover), Alloderm, ACdermis, Puros Dermis etc.
What are you using and why? What are you getting the best results with? What technique helps enhance results using allografts for root coverage and ridge augmentation?
Thank you for your input

I have many questions on this. There are so many implant systems out there its hard to choose:
1.Are the implant systems ranked??
2.Which is the best implant systems in the world and which are the next five if any???
3. Does the surface of the implant make 1 implant better then another? Is there any research comparing implant surfaces?
4. Has the implant success rate changes over time?
5. What is the easiest system in placement and restoratively.
Thank you for your time in answering my questions.

I have a patient that has been on oral Bisphosphonates for 8+ years and needs several implants and a couple areas will need sinus lifts. The literature is very unclear on how to approach. Marx CTX is not proven? Not sure a drug holiday will make a difference?

I am looking for opinions on how people handle these situation in their offices? What is your protocol?

I have a 57 year old patient who has a past history of head and neck cancer treated with radiation and chemotherapy 6 years ago. The patient hasrampant caries and poor salivary flow. Several teethn are going to be extracted and replaced by implants in the teeth 30, 29 and 8 position.

What are your concerns?

Does the patient need hyperbaric oxygen and whats the protocol.

Horizontal and vertical ridge defects are encountered every day in the implant practice. With so many materials to choose its hard to know what you can get the best or consistent results with.
My question is what material or protocol are you getting consistent results for in building out a ridge/bone regeneration for future implant placement?

I had a patient sent to me recently who saw her local oral surgeon where he did bilateral sinus lifts using hip grafts. I thought that was kind of invasive especially when the literature supports the use of Bio-oss. With all the advances in bone grafting is it really needed???

I used to do many immediates implant placements in my office but now I tend to graft. I see various lectures where people are still pushing for immmediates placement and immediate load. What do you do an Why? Do you tend to graft and delay placement of the implant of do you do an immediate implant placement?

Many of my oral surgery counterparts are using infuse. I have used it with good results in both the sinus and gbr. Only problem I see is with swelling and inflammation.

What kind of results are you getting with infuse and where are you using it?

Being an oral surgeon I tend to do more block grafts from the ramus, chin, skull or hip. Lately, I see many people at lectures getting really decent results with bone allografts and xenografts. I am curious what people are using and why for reconstructing ridge defects for implant placement? Is there any special techniques you do? What membrane do you use?
