Jaz's Introduction: Hello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome back to Part Two of an Idiot's Guide to Restoring the Single Implant Crown. Now, if you haven't yet listened to the first part of this episode, that's PDP156.



Jaz’s Introduction:You should probably start there first because Dr. Devang Patel, our esteemed guest, he talks us through from the very beginning, like how do you assess the site that might be suitable for an implant and what to actually do if someone else's placed implant is coming to you for the restoration.



And let me tell you, I learned so much. The episode is called an Idiot's Guide. I'm the idiot, right? So I was learning so much as getting along. He taught us about internal hex, external hex, conical, or butt joints, all these things I was learning about implants. Then we talk about impressions and scanning.



And now we're going to be talking about what happens when the lab work comes back from the lab and you're going to assess it. You want to take a radiograph. You're going to actually screw the screw retain crown in. But what are you checking for? Do you have to give local anesthetic, for example? How much talk do you need to give at that point?



How do you then restore the screw access hole? And what should be the follow up protocol going forward, as well as the all important troubleshooting? It's really important when you learn a new skill, that you learn about the troubleshooting. So any of the common complications that you can get ahead of it.



Protrusive Dental PearlSo just before we go and join Devang for that Part two, I'm going to give you the Protrusive Dental Pearl. It's basically a summary of both these two episodes, so PDP156 and this episode, because I imagine as a learner, it can become quite overwhelming, especially if you're commuting, chopping onions, and then to try and remember and think, you need like an aid memoir.
