RE: [ACEsthetics] 3i implants

We have been using Nobel since I started restoring implants.  We have had one failure AFTER restorative.  That is well over 400 implants now.  I will stay with Nobel though I think the surgeon is more responsible than the system.

He tried to say that he believed the restorative part would be easier with the encode fixtures. 

I'm not too particular about what system  my surgeon uses as I can adapt, but they'd better stay in!

Did you ask him why he switched?  You can specify that he use Astra for the cases you refer him

I've worked with the same surgeon for about 8 years. He placed exclusively Astra 

fixtures for 7 years and I probably restored 200+ with maybe 5 failures. 

Last year he started placing 3i's, and in the last two months I've seen 4 

failures. 

All four failed to integrate. 

Is this a problem others have seen with 3i, or do I need to convince my surgeon 

to switch back to what he was good at?
