WE CAN HELP YOU IDENTIFY YOUR IMPLANT

We have enjoyed hearing from many of you over the last 9 months we have been on the web. Messages have ranged from those of support and appreciate for a great resource, to those asking for help identifying their implant(s) in question. Either way, we love hearing from you!

Due to the increasing volume of email consults we have been receiving, we are now asking a small fee to be able to continue this service. For $75.00 we will evaluate your radiograph to the best of our ability, and respond as soon as possible with our opinion. Our hopes are to give you our best possible guess based on the resources we have access to, while helping you to move towards helping your patient.

(This button will take you off our website to paypal where you can pay with paypal or a credit card. You will then be redirected back to whatimplantisthat.com where you can upload your radiographs.)

In order to give us the best chance of helping you, please consider the following parameters when you submit your inquiry:

  1. Please try to make your radiograph as perpendicular to the long-axis of the implant as you possibly can. This helps us see important aspects of the implants better such as thread type, grooves, etc.
    Implant not perpendicular - difficult to see the thread type Note how much easier you can tell the thread type (but the apex is cut off)
  2. Please include at least one periapical radiograph of good quality showing both the coronal and apical portions of the implant. We often have radiographs sent to us with the apical portion of the implant cut off.
    Cannot see if the apex has holes, grooves, or what it's shape is This is also over exposed, making it difficult to see some detail
  3. Some very useful adjunctive resources to consider submitting with your inquiry are: bitewing radiographs, photos of the implant platform clinically, photos of the healing abutment, and driver used (if applicable).
    This impression transfer actually helped us find an obscure implant from Spain Sometimes the clinical photo alone can help identify the implant
  4. It can often be very useful as well to know where and when the implants were placed.

We appreciate all the support we have received, and will continue to do our best to make this resource the best it can be.
