16. If you do smoke.
Some suggested treatment protocols call for smoking cessation one week prior
to, and then eight weeks following, the placement procedure.
Thus helping to minimize the effect it may have on the early stages of the implant
healing process (osseointegration).

21. โข Two-stage approach, the top of the implant
and cover screw are completely covered with the
flap closure.
โข Implants are allowed to heal, without loading or
micro movement, for a period of time (2 to 4
months) to allow for osseointegration.
โข The implant must be surgically exposed following
an undisturbed healing period.
โข Advantages:
1. Simultaneous bone augmentation procedures
at the time of implant placement.
2. Osteointegration.

not less than 1 mm.

prepare the osteotomy site
precisely and incrementally for an
