05/31/08 - 14 Implants, Filming of a Reality Show

Postby matthew » Mon Jun 02, 2008 1:28 pm

On Saturday, May 31st, Dr. Chen performed a surgery for a television reality show. This surgery was the lower half of implants to match the upper implants that were featured as a live demonstration patient on January 30th, 2008 in front of 25 Australian doctors. For further detail, click here.

Here is her before pano from January 30th:

Dr. Chen went to the wedding of an employee for about an hour (congratulations Wyatt), and then came back to the office to give a briefing to the television crew while his children went to a birthday party with another television crew. During this briefing a member of the television crew said that Dr. Chen is 20 years ahead of his time. After the Briefing, Dr. Chen numbed the patient, extracted 13 perio/endo involved teeth, and placed 14 implants immediately with bone grafting.

As you can see the implants are perfectly spaced and very straight. Dr. Chen did not use a stent, he simply aligned the lower implants to match the upper arch.
Right after the surgery, Dr. Chen had champagne with the television crew

Dr. Cha was amazed to hear how quickly the surgery went, Dr. Chen wasn't rushing at all and was relaxed the entire time.

Dr. Chen would like to stress that despite all of the procedures performed, the large number of implants performed, the sinus lifting, and the immediate load of the implants, the patient was still able to eat a full dinner and eat all of the patients normal foods the same night as the implants were placed with the doctors and the TV stations.

Neoss for maxillary implants. Exfeel(Megagen) internal implants on mandible! Megagen vs Neoss? Megagen internal threads to the top of the implant body. No platform. Like ANKYLOS. Neoss does not thread to the crest of the implant body. Megagen is much more user freindly and cost freindly than ANKYLOS? Could you comment on the different systems you''ve used over the last 18 months. I think you have played a few? A comprehensive Chen implant system would be great? Helen looks great! Great live surg video! Thanks HK
