CASE PLAN THREE - SIM

	November 2000
	Case Review No. 3
	The Anterior Mandibular Defect

Another case submitted for the forum for discussion. The illustrated case demonstrates the bone loss after extractions in the anterior mandible. The THREE-D Views are helpful to understand the anatomy. The cross-sectional slices show the extent of the bone defect and the limitations for implant placement.

There are Many NEW FIGURES.

COMMENTARY for Discussion:

This is an actual SIM/Plant™ study which was submitted for the review of the group. Let's discuss the ramifications of the appearance of the bone and the ultimate tooth position in relationship to the defect. Also, please review these images and comment on the simulated placement of the two implants. What would you do in this case to treatment plan for the missing anterior segment of bone and teeth??
