In Between Implant Placement Technique

The three-part article focuses on an In Between Implant Placement Concept; a strategy to treat anterior bridge deficiency cases. The first article looks at treating two missing adjacent teeth in the esthetic zone. It covers the pink hybrid restoration and unilateral versus bilateral defect concepts.

Christian explains, 

“Unilateral versus bilateral defect concepts is an important factor to consider when you are outlining your risk assessment and your decision making process on challenging cases with pink defect. In this article we outline the concept and introduce the topic, then parts two and three will be more specific on the planning and execution of the In-Between Implant Technique,

“In essence, this article explores how DSD and dental implants can complement each other, which I believe is an area of massive potential.”

Case examples

Cristian continues, 

“One of the things I love about the Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry is the inclusion of case photos to demonstrate procedures to dentists. I have included examples of cases with a number of well known dentists on this topic. The cases illustrate the concept of unilateral versus bilateral defects and how to understand the risks when you are planning these cases.” 

The Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry

“It is always an honour to collaborate with the AACD. I have lectured at their annual event many times talking about the DSD Concept and now am thrilled to be published with my esteemed colleagues in their journal.”
