Teeth Chatter: Wanted: Implant Case Information

With so many implant companies exhibiting similar and even duplicate interfaces, providing implant specs couldn’t be more important than it is today. We ask that you please include the manufacturer, brand, and platform, and any other pertinent information for each implant submitted to the laboratory. An easy method of communicating this vital information on new placements is to include a copy of the letter that is generally sent from the specialist. Our experienced staff does an excellent job of identifying systems. However, this information will ensure we begin each case with the correct impression posts, a somewhat frequent error. Without detailed implant specifics, cases may be compromised. Thank you in advance for including this information with the work authorization.
