Show Notes
On today’s episode, Dr. Dan Brisky and Dr. Tom Pfau dive deep into real-world implant complications and the critical lessons that come with them. From a mispositioned anterior implant that required swallowing pride and starting over, to incision openings in full-arch cases that demanded creative solutions like Botox for excessive muscle activity, they break down what went wrong, how they fixed it, and how to prevent similar issues.
The conversation covers flapless pitfalls, the importance of tactile verification with a ball probe, suture technique nuances, managing tissue dehiscence, preventing bone loss, and even navigating high-stress moments like retrieving displaced root tips and broken burs from the sinus. This candid discussion emphasizes preparation, humility, surgical fundamentals, and having the confidence—and support system—to manage complications the right way.
