Read the first 7 Treatment Protocols & Procedures flashcards as text

  1. Which flap design is most commonly used for implant placement in areas with adequate keratinized tissue?

    Answer: Full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap

    A full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap provides optimal access and visualization while preserving the periosteum for bone healing.

  2. What is the recommended minimum healing time before loading a standard implant placed in a healed site with good primary stability?

    Answer: 8–12 weeks

    Most protocols recommend 8–12 weeks for osseointegration in healed sites before conventional loading.

  3. During implant osteotomy preparation, what is the primary purpose of using sequential drills of increasing diameter?

    Answer: To gradually compress and shape bone while minimizing heat

    Sequential drilling gradually enlarges the osteotomy while controlling friction heat, protecting bone vitality.

  4. An implant is placed 1 mm below the crestal bone level. This placement is referred to as:

    Answer: Subcrestal placement

    Subcrestal placement positions the implant platform below the alveolar crest, often used with certain implant systems to enhance soft tissue contour.

  5. Which of the following best describes the purpose of a healing abutment (cover screw vs. healing cap) after implant placement?

    Answer: A healing abutment shapes the gingival emergence profile during soft tissue healing

    A healing abutment (transmucosal) shapes the peri-implant soft tissue emergence profile during the healing phase.

  6. When performing socket seal surgery, the primary goal is to:

    Answer: Close the extraction socket with soft tissue to retain a graft

    Socket seal surgery uses a connective tissue or collagen plug to close the entrance of the grafted extraction socket, protecting the graft.

  7. What is the significance of achieving at least 35 Ncm of insertion torque during implant placement?

    Answer: It indicates sufficient primary stability for potential immediate provisionalization

    Insertion torque ≥35 Ncm is commonly used as a threshold for acceptable primary stability when considering immediate or early loading protocols.
