Transitioning From Teeth to Implants: A Narrative Review.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg

April 2024

Clinical Professor, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, LSU School of Dentistry, New Orleans, LA; Private Practice, Metairie, LA. Electronic address:

Purpose: Patients may need removal of their teeth with placement of implants for rehabilitation. The clinical problem is the status of the remaining teeth and how this affects the timing for implant placement and the method for provisionalization. The importance of this review is to document the different strategies including sequential tooth removal and grafting and the use of teeth to provide a fixed provisional rather than a removable provisional, to provide surgeons with a reference to maintain patient function during their rehabilitation.

Evidence-Based Criteria for an Ideal Abutment Implant Connection-A Narrative Review.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg

October 2022

Clinical Professor, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, LSU School of Dentistry, New Orleans, LA; Private Practice, Metairie, LA. Electronic address:

Importance: Long-term success with a dental implant restoration relies on a stable connection between the abutment and the implant. The purpose of this article is to review current knowledge of the abutment interface, identify problems that develop due to wear and mismatch of parts, and use a problem list to propose a solution. The objective was to provide a concise overview that clinicians can then use to choose a system that addresses the problems of the abutment implant interface.

Porous Bone Increases the Risk of Posterior Mandibular Implant Failure.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg

July 2021

Assistant Professor, Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, LSU School of Dentistry, New Orleans, La.

Purpose: Our recent study indicated that patients with osteoporosis had an increased risk for early and late implant failure perhaps due to a large cancellous space. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to explore the relationship between the amount of cancellous space in an implant site and implant failure.

Patients And Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective cohort study on patients who received dental implants in the posterior mandible at the senior author's practice from January 1, 2008 to October 1, 2019.

Evidence-based dentistry is the judicious integration of scientific information relating to the patient's oral health and medical condition with the dentist's clinical expertise and the patient's own treatment needs and preferences. In this triad of factors, we (the dentists) are least likely to be formally trained in recognizing our patient's preferences. Do we understand what shapes these preferences?

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to document current practices among pediatric and general dentists who are members of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) regarding the use of local anesthesia (LA) on children undergoing dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia (GA).

Methods: A survey was administered via e-mail to AAPD members to document the use of LA during dental rehabilitations under GA and the rationales for its use.

Results: A total of 952 of 5,599 members responded to this survey; 79 percent of respondents use LA at least part of the time during dental rehabilitations under GA.
