06/05/2013 at 5:08 pm #16570AnonymousWhich scaler your recommend fro scaling around implants ? I have followed the protocol over the years of year using plastic or titanium tipped scalers around implants. The plastic ones do not seem rigid enough to accomplish anything. The titanium scalers appear adequate. Frankly, I really don’t know if this makes a difference. Using conventional scalers may be acceptable.
Do you feel scalers with LED lights have any advantage ? I have not used LED scalers but see little advantage to them. scaling is subgingival and regardless of the amount of light, one should be scaling by "touch." I only use hand scalers for this reason and Piezo scalers during LANAP procedures.
How much bone loss around implants per year would you feel is physiological ? I would like to think 100% bone retention around implants is "normal" and reasonable. The literature probably talks about 0.1 mm per year or 1 mm in 10 years. Most of the time, bone loss stabilizes and does not progress in a linear fashion.
Do you recommend occlusal adjustments for implant crowns after a few years ? I do not recommend occlusal adjustments once implant bridges have been functioning for a time unless new bone loss occurs or some other major prostheses has been inserted. Nightguard therapy is a definite benefit for all implant cases.

This last statement is profound! We now have a lot of research and science regarding gene expression. The science and how to reverse our genes is here today.
It is here today – How to reverse our gene expression. A 50 yr old and reverse their disease potential and process of disease.
Good information in this interview!

Our team of consultants implements a wellness program to assess and prevent.
We have been able to reverse perio disease as well as other diseases.
There so low cost options now available to the dental community to prevent disease. This is very excting for today’s world of dentistry.

28/05/2013 at 9:03 pm #16647AnonymousYou may not like my answer: water is a good antiplaque rinse. In severe cases, I recommend chlorhexidine, but that is not usual. I would rather see the patient more frequently and then recommend ineffective rinses. Likewise, I do not believe in oral irrigants. The bottom line is that motivated patients will clean their mouths well with anything they use. Patients may find expensive gadgets motivating so you may see better results with them….but that is not always the case
