A free hand dental implant technique is a conventional surgical method where the oral surgeon/periodontist manually places the dental implants using tactile feedback, diagnostic radiographs and anatomical landmarks, rather than relying on 3D printed surgical/digital guides. Despite high success rates, it requires immense clinical experiences and carries a higher risk of angular deviation compared to guided procedures. To avoid deviations, the surgeon/periodontist uses the adjacent teeth/anatomical structures, surgical experience to control drill depth and angulation manually and must adhere to established implant spacing rules with respecting the minimum bone thicknesses of both maxillary and mandibular bone.

This is a case of 60/Male patient who underwent free hand all on 6 dental implant placement(total of 12 implants) for both the maxillary and mandibular edentulous jaw with maxillary sinus lifting on right and left anthrum. The post-operative panoramic radiograph showed good implant spacings, established implant parallelism/angulation, biomechanically driven implants, preserved neighboring structures and most importantly controlled implant depths with good primary stability.

Connective tissue grafting is a periodontal reconstructive procedure that aids to restore a mucogingival defect. It is usually accompanied by minimally invasive periodontal surgery to enhance tissue acceptance and regeneration. In this case, a Connective Tissue Grafting using VISTA Technique (Vestibular Incision Subperiosteal Tunnel Access) was used to reconstruct a mucogingival defect on the 2nd quadrant. A CGF (Concentrated Growth Factors) was also used as an adjunctive treatment to achieve a more predictable treatment outcome.

Another case of a tooth fragment retrieval from the submandibular space. The displacement resulted from a fracture on the thin lingual cortical plate during odontectomy procedure(wisdom tooth removal), a common complication. The retrieval was done atraumatically under local anesthesia using a good tissue handling hence the patient treatment satisfaction. Thank you for the referral doctors.
