Even Dr. Berzin can’t answer that without a consultation.

To implant in the uterus is to undergo the process of nidation, where a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining in preparation for pregnancy.
The procedure is performed in a hospital with the patient under general anesthesia.
Yes, Hounsfield units are used in dental implantology. They help in assessing bone density and quality at the implant site, which is crucial for the success of implant placement. High bone density is favorable for optimal osseointegration of the dental implant.
Chin implant insertions or direct reductions are usually performed as outpatient procedures in the surgeon's office or an ambulatory surgery center.
Well, honey, it usually takes about 1-2 weeks after surgery to have the implant put in. But hey, every body is different, so make sure to listen to your doctor's orders and follow their timeline. Don't rush it, darling, you want that implant to settle in nice and cozy.
The Otis knee uses a MRI pre-operatively to determine optimal placement of a standard knee implant; the Conformis knee uses a MRI to fabricate a custom implant and instruments made specifically for the patient's anatomy replacing only the diseased portion of the knee.
The process of getting a dental implant typically takes several months, depending on individual factors. Here's a general timeline: 1. Initial Consultation and Planning: During your first visit to Orthosquare Multispecialty Dental Chain, our team will assess your oral health and create a personalized treatment plan. If the jawbone needs preparation (such as a bone graft), this step may extend the overall timeline. 2. Implant Placement: Once ready, the implant (a titanium post) is surgically placed into the jawbone. This procedure usually takes 1-2 hours. Afterward, the healing process, called osseointegration (where the implant fuses with the bone), can take 3-6 months. This step ensures a strong foundation for the artificial tooth. 3. Abutment and Crown Placement: Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, an abutment (a connector) is placed, followed by the custom-made crown. This step typically takes a couple of weeks, and your new tooth will look and function just like a natural one. It’s important to be aware of potential tooth implant side effects like mild discomfort, infection risk, or bone loss. At Orthosquare Multispecialty Dental Chain, we prioritize patient care and use advanced techniques to minimize these risks, ensuring a smooth recovery and successful implant treatment. For a complete tooth implant, expect the process to take anywhere from 4-9 months, depending on healing and other factors. Consult with our expert team at Orthosquare Multispecialty Dental Chain for personalized guidance and support throughout your implant journey.
Chin augmentation can be performed by inserting an implant under the skin of the chin or by performing a sliding genioplasty.
If the sinus cavity is punctured during implant placement, it can lead to complications such as sinus infection, sinusitis, or migration of the implant into the sinus cavity. This may require additional treatment, such as antibiotics, sinus surgery, or removal of the implant. It is important to consult with your dentist or oral surgeon if this occurs.
