Is flapless implant placement really a solid technique? What percentage of cases are amenable to flapless implant placement? The cynic in me wondered if this is indeed a novel technique, or was it made mainstream to attract Dentists who seldom raise flaps?

This is something I've said before, right? Is you either pay your mentor to show you how to do it. And when you do it that way, you'll avoid most of the pitfalls, okay? Or you don't pay your mentor you have things go wrong and then you've got to pay out of your own pocket. Of those two scenarios one leads to a happy patient and another one leads to an unhappy patient. Jaz's Introduction:Are flapless implants a thing or are they a fad? I feel like there is a lure of some courses that want to attract the inexperienced GDP who perhaps is afraid of surgery or averse to surgery who can't raise a flap and they thought you know what, if we start teaching a guided system that doesn't involve flaps and maybe the dentist will come and learn implants and place our implants so that is the cynic in me thinking that but I got on the main man who knows everything about implants Dr. Pav Khaira on today on this group function about IS THERE A PLACE FOR FLAPLESS IMPLANTS? And of course from that we go into different directions in terms of okay, when is it suitable? When is it contraindicated? What are the problems? And how we can learn more and get into this field of implantology. If you are a novice if you are someone who's thinking about it, but you're afraid to make that next commitment. How does one get into the field of implants are huge daily topic for young dentists. Main Episode:So let's join this group function with Dr. Pav Khaira.
