This isn't bone loss...

Implants Made Simple ·

2023/02/24

Guys, I'll say it again. This 👏 isn't 👏 bone 👏 loss 👏. I know, I know, it's a hard pill to swallow. It goes against industry dogma. It's not what we were taught. How about this? We can all agree that if a cup started out with water in it, then we poured some water out, that's water loss, right? But what if the cup started empty? Is that water loss? You can't lose something you never had. Yet we make this EXACT claim when we say there's bone loss around an implant after we placed and gr...

I'm NOT (just) a dentist–how I got into implants

Implants Made Simple ·

2023/02/17

What if I told you... I'm not a dentist? At least not entirely. Most dentists follow a typical medical career path–biology, pre-med, dental school. My career path wasn't exactly typical. You see, I started out as an engineer. An aerospace engineer. And through engineering, I learned a LOT about screws. When I met my wife, Bobbi, I found a new link to the dental field. I also discovered that dentists used screws, too–they just weren't taught anything about the engineering behind them! ...

Deep Morse Taper? Here's why that's a BAD IDEA!

Implants Made Simple ·

2023/02/10

If you use implants with a Morse Taper, there's no need to freak out. If you use implants with a DEEP Morse Taper, there's also no need to freak out. Maybe just a little. The point is, the Morse Taper isn't the issue here. Morse Tapers are indispensable parts of our implant system that form a tight seal and keep out bad bacteria. However, the trouble begins when you start to imagine the engineering necessary for a deep Morse Taper within a dental implant. If the taper pushes close to t...

I only use ONE implant. Here's why.

Implants Made Simple ·

2023/02/03

Do you need a different implant for every scenario? Well, kinda! You do need implants of different sizes based on where you're placing them in the mouth. But how MUCH variation in dental implant size is really necessary? How precise do you need to be? And at what point does perfect customization actually become an issue that can be detrimental to patient outcomes? For me, it's the point where I don't know, within a second, what size implant I'm holding or looking at. My kit is optimized to p...

2023/01/27

Insertion torque tells us whether an implant has primary stability not... right? RIGHT?? Actually, nope! Insertion torque only gives us a measurement of resistance to one type of movement. In this video, I'll break down the engineering behind insertion torque and show you why we're all getting it wrong when we use it to judge primary stability of our implant placements. If you're like to learn more about insertion torque, primary stability, or implant placement in general, check us out...

Is it BONE LOSS or just wound healing? 🤔

Implants Made Simple ·

2023/01/20

It's crestal bone loss! Your patient is losing bone after you placed the implant! ...Or are they? The evidence doesn't seem to support this scary claim. In this video, we'll look at what we'd expect to see if our patients were truly losing bone vs. what we actually see when we place implants as they go through the healing process. Bone loss is a big topic in dental implantology, but it's one I feel is quite misunderstood. A ton of claims and schools of thought exist on the matter, but ...

Do you use 2D radiographs when placing dental implants? Hopefully you do! But do you JUST use 2D radiographs when placing dental implants? If so, you're operating with one hand tied behind your back! 2D radiographs are a great tool, but they leave out an entire dimension–and all the detail and information that comes with it. We need to be using 3D scans of our patients during both the planning phase and beyond. Think about it. What would more accurately print a 3D model of an X-wing, a...

How much torque is TOO MUCH?? (Or too little)

Implants Made Simple ·

2023/01/06

How much insertion torque is too much insertion torque when placing a dental implant? Or is there such a thing? Isn't the bigger risk under-torquing the implant? We hear a lot about insertion torque in dentistry, so it may come as a big surprise that our orthopedic colleagues don't pay attention to this metric–even when working with bones as large as the femur! If insertion torque isn't a good measurement, how do you know if you're placing an implant properly for primary stability and longev...

You're drilling TOO SLOW when placing implants!

Implants Made Simple ·

2022/12/30

Gotta go fast! Or do you? Does drilling speed actually matter when placing implants? Of course! Faster drills mean not only more efficient implant placements (which are better for both you and your patients), but they also mean you aren't sitting there spinning a drill bit in your patient's socket. Once you get your drill fully seated in the guide and bottoming out, you're done! Many dentists who are accustomed to freehanding implants have some difficulty in speeding up their drilling ...

Should you focus on SINGLE IMPLANTS or full arch cases?

Implants Made Simple ·

2022/12/23

One question I hear quite often from dentists, especially aspiring implantologists, is "what should I focus on: single implants or full arch solutions?" I get it. Full arch and full mouth All-on-X solutions seem far more complicated than single implant cases. Is it even worth going through the trouble of learning? Absolutely. Full arch cases are not only rewarding for you, they also have a transformative effect on your patients' lives–and once you master the single implant, full arch cases ac...

2022/12/16

Ok, at this point I'm just making up implant placement rules, right? Because there's no science behind it, right? And there can't possibly be rules that apply to every scenario, right? Well, there certainly are no RULES that apply to implant position in EVERY case, but there are guidelines that should be used as a starting point for each one. One such rule is the 3A2B rule. It's a simple one, but it's necessary to know–and it's been documented by many of the greats in dental imp...

THIS is the biggest misconception about dental implants

Implants Made Simple ·

2022/12/09

Do all dental implants work? Sure. They just work to varying degrees of success. When it comes to my patients, I want to place only the best dental implants–I want my solutions to last for my patients and I'm not going to risk that trying to save a few bucks (which certainly won't pay off if the implant solution fails down the road!). So why do we hear "all implants work" all the time? Personally, I think it's because we're an industry of biologists and doctors, not engineers. Most den...

Getting started with dental implants can feel utterly overwhelming. From perio and extractions to 3D planning and guide design, you need an eye-popping breadth of skill to successfully plan and place even a single implant. Once you get the training you need and you feel ready to place that first implant, now what? Which one do you start with? How do you find that first patient?

As a dentist, you're also a business owner–and that means you have to deal with TAXES! Taxes can be very complicated and expensive, and you should pay your fair share, but you shouldn't get screwed over because you don't know what you're allowed to write off. On this special episode of Implants Made Simple, Dr. Robert Stanley speaks with Dr. Bobbi Stanley about dental business taxes–and how you can save tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on your taxes every year (yes, legally–we ...

I've seen plenty of weird implant cases in my years as a dentist–everything from crazy smoker failures to implants placed so far out of position that the prosthesis looks like it's been stretched a mile across the gums. However, this dental implant case might just top them all. I'm not going to spoil this for you, but I'll give you a little hint–implant design really matters! Check out the video to learn more.

Thermal Necrosis DOESN'T EXIST, either

2022/11/11

We talked about Pressure Necrosis, but what about Thermal Necrosis? Surely heating the bone to a high enough degree kills it, right? Well, yeah–but implants placed correctly during guided surgery CAN'T get close to the level of heat that causes this sort of Thermal Necrosis. So, for our purposes, Thermal Necrosis doesn't exist! But that's not the end of the story. In this video, Dr. Stanley breaks down exactly why Thermal Necrosis can't be a viable factor in implant failures–something else w...

Oh, Pressure Necrosis. The bane of implantologists everywhere. The ominous phantom that fatally dooms our implants and cackles at our helpless frustration. The nemesis of good torque. The catch-all scapegoat for our failed implants. There's only one problem: Pressure Necrosis isn't real. Yep, I said it. Pressure Necrosis ISN'T REAL! How can this be?? So many lectures and anecdotes identifying this mysterious phenomenon as the source of our implant woes. Surely all these highly-educated peopl...

Are LONG dental implants really BETTER??

Implants Made Simple ·

2022/10/28

I get this question all the time: do I REALLY need to use a long implant? Won't a short implant work just as well? The answer: maybe! It all comes down to physics (of course!). Is the final prosthesis in an area that will be subject to a lot of off-axis loads? If so, you DEFINITELY need a long implant! Think about it like a fence post. If you bury one fence post 6 inches deep and another 3 feet deep, which one is more likely to withstand a strong windstorm? Same thing with implants. However,...

You placed a dental implant in your patient's mouth 5 years ago. You used a guide and the implant ended up exactly where you planned it with excellent torque. You got great osseointegration and the site healed beautifully. Your patient cooperated and after 2 weeks, 6 months, and a year, everything looked great. 5 years later, your patient calls you with a problem: Their crown has totally delaminated! Shocked, you ask what they ate for dinner last night. "Just bread," they say. "Right,"...
