Re: do implants *really* feel natural?

Vertical and horizontal grafting never stays long term unless you place an
implant. If the implant is in place, the bone remains. The grafting is
indicated to create a suitable implant site.

My dearest SB,

It seems to me that you are casting your pearls before swine.

Though I haven't researched the matter yet, does anyone
know if Fred Quarnstrom truly exists, and is he a licensed DDS ?
Is there actually a published book, as he claims ?

Something tells me that there is a rotten apple in this
kettle of fish.

I have no reason to go ad hominem on him. Let's assume he is a
licensed practicing dentist. We all can probably agree that
overtreatment is bad. But we don't agree that selective bone grafting
at the time of extraction when implant placement is anticipated is a bad
idea--an impression a casual reading of his book is sure to give the
unwary.

This is at best an oversimplification, and at worse dishonest.

Probably both, either way, I smell a rat.

Selective is definitely the operative word and Fred does have a point.
If you need to open a window into the jaw to extract a tooth, placing
bone graft into that window will lead to almost 100% ossification,
with or without membrane. Solid bone in 5-6 months. However, if you
place bone graft into a regular extraction socket and suture a
membrane over it, only the apical 2/3 of the graft will ossify. The
coronal 1/3 will either leak out or remain particulate. I have not
noticed any difference apart from the size of the patient's bill.
