Placing a Zantex Allure on 10 Mini Implants

In this Shatkin F.I.R.S.T.® Monday Morning Minute, Dr. Todd Shatkin places 10 mini dental implants in patient Robert’s upper jaw. Having previously completed a Zirconia roundhouse restoration on Robert’s lower jaw, Dr. Shatkin now focuses on an upper restoration using Zantex Allure to improve lip fullness and eliminate the need for Robert’s denture.

Dr. Shatkin carefully places 8 mini implants (11×2.5) and 2 shorter implants (10×2.5) due to sinus limitations. Throughout the procedure, he provides insights on maintaining implant parallelism, using a torque of 30-60 Newton centimeters to ensure secure placement.
