Procedure in Detail:

Patient presents today for implant placement at site #***.  Consent obtained after discussing benefits/risks/alternatives with patient and inviting all questions. Written and verbal post op instructions given to patient and escort prior to procedure. H&P and imaging reviewed, NPO/escort verified. IV started in R arm antecubital fossa with 22 ga catheter.  All appropriate monitors were placed and working properly. Sedative medications were then administered and titrated to effect.

2% Lido w/ 1:100k epi x *** carpules delivered via infiltration. Adequate anesthesia confirmed. A papilla-sparing incision was designed and a full thickness mucoperiosteal flap was developed and reflected buccally.  A round bur was used at the site of the proposed osteotomy site. The recommended osteotomy sequence was completed for soft bone according to the manufacturer’s recommendations using copious chilled saline irrigation throughout. A Zimmer 4.7mm x 10mm TSV implant was placed in the osteotomy site with excellent primary stability. A cover screw was placed on the implant. The flap was then repositioned and sutured with interrupted 3-0 chromic gut suture.
