${PATIENT_SPECIAL_QUESTION}

**Patient Name**: Anonymous

Dear Patient,

As a specialist in Dental, Oral, and Maxillofacial Surgery, I am writing to provide you with a patient-centered treatment plan for your dental implant procedure. My expertise lies specifically in the domain of ultrashort BICON implants, a highly effective solution for missing teeth.

From your initial assessment, it seems you have several missing teeth and seek a reliable solution that will restore your ability to chew firmly. You have also expressed interest in the possibility of immediate fitting with a crown post-extraction, and you prefer the 3D Implant Navigation method.

Given your specific requirements, I suggest the use of ultrashort BICON implants for your treatment. These implants are characterized by a plateau geometry, which provides a higher contact area between the implant surface and the surrounding bone, ensuring a more stable grip than screw-retained implants. Importantly, they do not require extensive bone grafting procedures, which are often needed for standard-length implants, making the procedure less invasive and more cost-effective.

**The Ultrashort BICON Implant Procedure**

The first step of the procedure involves the placement of four to six ultrashort implants in the upper and/or lower jaw under local anesthesia. This process can take one to two hours per jaw, with sedation available if requested. To monitor your healing, we recommend follow-up visits 24 hours and 48 hours post-surgery. If you currently have a removable prosthetic, it can be readjusted two days after the surgery.

Approximately three months later, once the implants have fully integrated with your bone, we will schedule a second appointment. During this visit, a small incision will be made in the soft tissue to affix the prosthetic component, allowing the laboratory to create a stone model for your final prosthetic.

The final appointment, carried out three days after the impression-taking, will allow for last-minute aesthetic corrections to the prosthetic replica. The final prosthetic is inserted 48 hours later, firmly anchored to the implant abutments with a tight friction system, eliminating the need for cementation or screws.

The estimated cost for this procedure, depending on the number of implants and the type of prosthetic, ranges between 12,000€ and 20,000€ per arch.

**Advantages of Ultrashort BICON Implants**

– Reduced Need for Bone Grafting: Unlike standard-length implants that often necessitate extensive bone grafting procedures, ultrashort BICON implants can usually be placed without such measures.
– Less Invasive: The procedure is less invasive, especially in situations where bone augmentation or sinus lift procedures would otherwise be required.
– Shorter Treatment Span: The treatment process is potentially faster, simplifying your journey to restored oral health.
– Cost-Effectiveness: By avoiding additional surgical procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts, ultrashort implants can be more cost-effective.
– Potential for Lower Risk of Complications: The simplified procedure and reduced need for additional interventions may result in a lower risk of complications.

I hope this detailed treatment plan provides you with a clearer understanding of the procedure and its benefits. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,

Prof. Dr. Mauro Marincola

**Glossary**

– **BICON Implants**: A type of dental implant that is shorter than traditional implants and offers several advantages, including a reduced need for bone grafting.
– **3D Implant Navigation**: A surgical method that uses computer-guided technology to plan and execute the implantation of dental implants.
– **Plateau Geometry**: A feature of BICON implants that provides a higher contact area between the implant surface and the surrounding bone, resulting in a more stable grip.
– **Bone Grafting**: A surgical procedure that improves the amount of bone in a patient’s jaw, often required for traditional dental implants.
– **Prosthetic**: An artificial device that replaces a missing part of the body, in this case, a dental prosthetic replaces missing teeth.
– **Impression-Taking**: A step in creating a dental prosthetic where an impression of the patient’s mouth is taken to ensure the prosthetic fits perfectly.
– **Friction System**: A mechanism used to anchor the prosthetic to the implant abutments, eliminating the need for cementation or screws.
– **Abutments**: The component of the dental implant that serves as the base for the dental prosthetic.
