Back Molar Implant: A Step-by-Step Dental Procedure

This video demonstrates a minimally invasive dental implant procedure using advanced technology and precise techniques. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. Pre-Surgical Planning:
    • A 3D X-ray (CBCT) and digital impressions are taken to create a detailed surgical guide.
    • The surgical guide allows for precise implant placement without fully exposing the jawbone, making the procedure minimally invasive.
  2. Implant Placement:
    • A tissue punch is used to create an opening in the gum.
    • A sequence of drills (align, pilot, and shaping drills) prepares the bone for the implant.
    • The dental implant fixture is placed, and the fixture mount is removed.
    • A healing abutment is attached to promote gum healing.
  3. Post-Op and Crown Placement:
    • After healing, the healing abutment is removed, and an impression post is used to take a crown impression.
    • A screw-retained crown is inserted, and the screw hole is filled with Teflon tape and dental composite for a seamless finish.
  4. Final Evaluation:
    • The procedure concludes with a post-op evaluation, ensuring the implant and crown are perfectly placed.

The video showcases the use of 3D imaging, digital impressions, and surgical guides to achieve a precise, minimally invasive, and efficient implant procedure.
