Live Surgery – Full Upper & Lower Roundhouse

In this episode of the Shatkin F.I.R.S.T. Monday Morning Minute, Dr. Todd Shatkin takes viewers inside a live dental procedure as he places upper and lower roundhouse mini implants for his patient, Katrina, who traveled from Pennsylvania for treatment. Dr. Shatkin begins by taking a final impression after placing 12 upper mini implants, followed by the placement of 12 lower implants, utilizing Intra-Lok mini-implants with a proven 20-year track record.

Dr. Shatkin highlights the advanced features of the Intraloc mini-implants, including their Osseon surface and patented blossom thread design, which ensures optimal osseointegration and long-term success. He demonstrates the technique on a thin, knife-edge ridge, showing how he adjusts the implant angle to accommodate the unique bone structure.

After implant placement, Dr. Shatkin fits Katrina with temporary milled resin roundhouse restorations from the Shatkin F.I.R.S.T. lab. This procedure offers a close look at the precision and care involved in achieving stable, aesthetically pleasing temporary restorations for the patient.
