The popularity of implant treatment has grown rapidly over the last 30 years. With today's mobile society, it seems that
every week a patient walks into the office with an implant that needs to be restored, repaired or redone. Many times,
the patient's implant case was done by another dentist. As experts, we want to do the best job possible for that patient,
but all too often we lack the knowledge needed about the details of the implant. This presents many challenges in helping
the patient attain his or her desired final result. With the hundreds of dental implants available, it can seem almost impossible
to identify what you're dealing with.
That's where whatimplantisthat.com comes in. This innovative
website hosts a database of radiographs for quick identification of implants. The database is categorized by common characteristics, including whether the implant has a tapered
or nontapered design and whether there are holes in the apex. This system allows you to quickly filter the radiographs, making it easier to find what you're looking for and proceed with treatment.
Created by Drs. Nate Farley and Kent Howell, the site evokes a community environment of camaraderie, relying on clinicians to upload images from their completed implant cases. Currently, the system has more than 150 images, and that number grows every day.
Other information you can find on the site includes: the implant company's name, website and contact information; links to the company's catalog; and driver size and torque values.
