Technique Demonstration: All-on-4 Benchtop Conversion Using CHAIRSIDE Attachment Processing Material

[@patrickspino5941]

My impression is that Dr. Michael Scherer is a Top Gun dentist! The skilled demonstration coupled with his very high command of the English language provided an excellent study for everyone interested in this type prosthetic. Did anyone take notice of the fact that Dr. Scherer never said "and, ah" one time! I would sit in this gentleman's chair in a nano second with all the confidence in the world!!! Thank you, sir!

[@johnbaldock6353]

[@marleendaniel1833]

[@cyn37211]

I was awake when my implants were installed 4 days ago. I don’t know what was worse, the hammering of the implant into the bone, or the s dewing in of the implants. Also, I was awake while he drilled into my jawbone.

[@aprilkoning8748]

Awesome and easy thanks to Zest Chairside, as a Dental Asst. this was a great learning tool!

[@AdhikarDhakal]

I posted a response to someone about their claim that base materials cost $100. Here is the breakdown: As a matter of fact, the pick-up material can OFTEN cost almost $100, so youa re in wrong for thinking the base materials cost only $100. Here is a breakdown of what it takes for one particular all-on-4-case: Evaluation of case (consult with patient, CBCT/CT scans to determine adequate bone. Planning of the case Setup of immediate and waxing Processing and finishing of denture Denture to be converted Surgical stent to be made Anesthesia for patient Extraction of teeth Flapping tissue Placement of implants (WAYYYY more than $100) Placement of multi-unit abutments Everything you saw on this video while sometimes dealing with a patient thats unconsciously fighting you or not listening to commands (opening mouth, opening/closing without command) Post op After patient has healed, bringing patient back for removal of prosthesis, impressions, jig, verification of jig, Bite rim if necessary, bite registration, pouring, analog placement of implant model, mountings New setup Wax-try-in Design and Fabrication of bar if everything goes well at wax try-in Set teeth over bar to do final try-in with bar, x-rays/pano Wax, process and finish and staining of hybrid (different processes and more time versus regular dentures) Final delivery When you take into factor all that goes in towards this treatment. $48K is chump change. Its not just teeth, its someones ability to smile, feel good about themselves, eat, drink socialize. A small price for a lot more benefits.

[@aprilkoning8748]

you are absolutely correct, but I know it can be as cheap as $15,000 for the patient.

[@heyitsthatoneguy91]

Why do you think all the products are listed? Its basically a commercial....materials were probabaly provided free/greatly discounted....its skilled labor..but not 48k if that doesnt prove its about the money first idk what does

[@dougiequick1]

Skilled labor that someone went to school FOREVER to win the right to practice! In a country with ultra high insurance cost and rent and cost of living etc etc etc ...while I do not begrudge the professionals to charge what the market will bear as they seek to enjoy the good living they worked so hard to achieve? Personally? IF I could not afford it? I would seriously look into having it done OUT of this country! I mean it would be a concern to make sure the foreign professional was doing quality work and using quality equipment and materials, but so long as all that checked out? I think a nice vacation could be in order! There are a LOT of opportunities to save a bundle on medical and dental stuff OUT of the US....IF it meant the difference between it being possible financially or not? Well DUH! Time to book cheapest flight and accomodations and make appointments in whatever country

[@michelefunk-hay1923]

its not just for rich people @iRickOshay. It is expensive but can be done for those of us with lower income. I make under 30000 a year and have no financial assistance but with my dental benefits through my employer I have been able to afford getting 2 implants a year until Ihave the 12 total I am aiming for (i would prefer to have all on 6 to alleviate as much bone loss as possible and to try to ensure a higher percentage of non failure due to I will not have the ability to pay to have redone). i have dentures now and they are floating on top of my implants that i have so far. i could get snap in attachments but have chosen not to because of the cost of the snaps that are a temporary situation for me. I figure by the time Ihave all my implants completed it will be time for my next set of teeth that insurance will cover (every 5 years) so i will be able to get the fixed bridges covered by insurance (50%of allowable). Anyway, know your benefits and if you dont have dental insurance it can still be done. JUst get em one at a time. The cost of implants is coming down. Mini implants are a little less expensive but my oral surgeon had stated they had more failures and for basically the same cost it would be better to go with the regular implants. ITCANBEDONE if you are not well off with a bit of determination and time.

[@kapsmah]

come t india 10 times cheaper even with two anf fro air fare

[@emilygordon1950]

You're totally right. On the other hand we do our full teeth in a day which could be done a bit cheaper? maybe even use some of the implants you currently have. Idk how far into your process you've gotten but if you're interested call me 855-544-5089. Mini's are not a good idea only because we get probably half of our patients come in with failed mini implants. Waste of time and money. Check out some of my videos our process is a little diff from doing each tooth at a time but maybe we can save you money? and time xx :)

[@davidm71]

Great guide. Really cleared up few concepts visually for me to better understand the workflow. I have a couple questions though. Do you do the lab work with patient in the chair waiting or have them come back while you are trimming away the excess acrylic? Also what if the guy was in immediate dentures for six months and has now resorption and loss of tissue depth or shrinkage and a lot of soft redline in the denture? Do you do a chairside or lab reline to have more intimate contact with the tissue? Thanks.

[@davidm71]

For one why does he use two different types of 'Chairside' pink acrylic?

[@drfitz2278]

why are most all on 4's done with a titanium bar in the denture? is it for strength? is it a massive difference justifying the lab costs? love your stuff, thanks!

It's definitely an investment however i wouldn't advise leaving the country in case there's a problem after they're placed. The cost of a flight and board back and fourth would be more than having them done here. Plus they're still very modern. I can talk from experience as i'm from the UK originally but if you're serious about the all on four we have a promo right now still an investment but feel free to call me 855-544-5089!

It happens when a dentist thinks he is a dental technician I was ashamed to make this garbage and then put it in someone's mouth. What goes on in the minds of these geniuses?

[@dougiequick1]

I am not in the field at all but I am mechanical and have used a lot of dremels etc. If I were in your profession I would invest in a miniature cut off saw where it is like a chop saw that carpenters use but scaled down to dremel. Then you cylinders would be clamped exactly and the blade levered through the piece without having to hold it with your clamp pliers ...that is just so barbaric compared to using something more stable and exact....ALSO the unscrewing/loosening problem is without a doubt cause by direction of blade rotation ...I THINK by simply reversing the side it is held on will effectively have the rotating blade trying to tighten rather than loosen the threaded cylinder.....duuh huh?

I thought the finishing should be convex rather than concave and accumulating food from the palatal ?

[@emilygordon1950]

Ours are more convex so they just kiss up against the gum line and can be cleaned. This is similar to an overdenture it looks like. Still explains the general concept i think. Just more advance ways of doing it, from what i've seen anyway.

[@FloridaSunshine]

You advertise too much. LOL Ypu must have too few clients, huh?

No, not at all! We do about 25-30 of these procedures a month between three surgeons.

My wife needs this. They quoted a $30,000 bill. Insane. Dental insurance won’t cover it medical insurance won’t touch it. This is pure greed an nasty to charge people this cost. a 4 oz piece with titanium how do u get to $30000?

[@rradds]

Yes it’s only 4oz of metal...... do it yourself and save 30k of money. Yea and heart surgery, cleaning out arteries shouldn’t be that costly either, it’s only a slender inexpensive wire navigated to the heart. My friend you now have a lucrative career ahead of you, you could charge 1/10 the amount.

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

@@rradds ur funny. I do understand we are paying for the doctors experience. But 4 implants is what's needed. each if done individually would only cost 8k. I know. Ive had it done. Still leaves 22k in parts? Justify that keyboard warrior.

[@rradds]

@@jesuschrist-alphaomega Well if you’ve had it done..... then why did you pay $30K. Certainly it can be done cheaper, like anything. But in general what would you think is a justified fee? What is the cost of materials, do you absolutely know? Then do you know the cost involved in the procedure? Do you know lab costs? Do you think the lab technician should be paid for his time and expertise? Then do you think the operator (doctor) is entitled to a fee for his time, skill, experience, education? And if so, how much? Not to mention his staff and overhead ( the facility, insurance and numerous other expenses, just like any other business). Yes I’m curious what would be an acceptable fee in your mind?

Go to a cheaper country, enjoy the country, get some souvenirs for your family, get the exact same treatment done, and go back, for a lot less money. I am a dentist in Romania, and even though I am an orthodontist, there are many very well equipped clinics that use the best equipment with some of the best surgeons, and even they wouldn't ask more than 10-15 grand for this, a lot less if you go to a smaller clinic. You can try DentalMed, or Clinica 32... 48000$? Jesus, that's insane.

Hey Miriam you should check out my channel and that is correct it's about that much. Right now we have it discounted to about $40,000 and remember it's a one time investment unlike a denture where every few months it needs realigning or every year replacing or chipping/cracking breaking. We also have financing so you can pay monthly etc but it depends what you need. I agree i wish insurance would cover it! At least the anesthesia or the surgery because this is necessary for so many people!

[@joycebooth6660]

How much would this cost me for an upper plate using my own plate I already gave

[@Billsbyjoe]

It’s puzzling that these clever people lack proper fabrication skills. I am amazed that this fantastic process relies on dremel technology ! The trimming of these cylinders is very subjective, no numbering, no targeted cutting medium (carborundum “joe dandy” blades) no degree of cut angle specified. These are just some of the make do approach I see here. The process has many aspects that need control measures. The single most important aspect is safety, there are far too many opportunities to severely injure the fingers and thumbs during these dremel activities. There needs to be specific air driven instruments that can clamp the medium to be cut in a defined method that does not create sparks (metallic blade technology is abundant) gives predictable replication, is easily performed and is extremely safe. I am not a dental surgeon, nor a doctor, I am a general sheet metal worker. Your welcome!

[@yinshah3303]

Jangle Jim, ever had a filling or crown prep on your teeth? I ask this because your point about injuring fingers and such without proper clamping the medium etc tells me you haven’t consider what a dentist do day in and day out. Dentist drill and cut teeth millimeters from your tongue, gum, cheek and other teeth multiple times a day without any “clamping”. Yes its all freehand, because it has to be. This is all done mostly often with a awake patient and a wandering tongue. Now you can start to appreciate the hand skill involved when drilling in the mouth. This chairside stuff without a moving, swallowing patient is, by comparison, very easy to stay safe. Thanks for your concern. And your comment about predictable replication is not applicable as every cylinder has to be cut to a custom height per the contour and thickness of the adjacent denture material. Your dremel technology comment is funny. What do you think a dental handpiece(drill) is?

[@Billsbyjoe]

yin shah Im glad you think my comment is "funny" you have obviously commented in a defensive mode, I expected this, just because things are done "day and day out" doesnt mean they sre less dangerous. my point is that while watching these processes I see many opportunities to introduce a more rigid and robust method, similar to how we work in my field, that offers a level view, easy operation and a predictable outcome from activities that could benefit from mechanical assistance. your comment about the patient environment is not applicable, I full appreciate that that is its own area and comes with its own level of care and complexities, but this was not and, stress, never a part of my observations.

[@yinshah3303]

jangle jim you missed my point. You’re suggesting improvement on the least dangerous part of what a dentist does - work that’s outside the mouth. Most of the work is done in the mouth. Which is much much more dangerous due to unpredictable movements of the patient. When you do something potentially dangerous day in and day out, it does mean you get experienced and that does result in proficiency and less error ie less dangerous.

[@Billsbyjoe]

yin shah respectfully, once again your comments are focused on something I never mentioned. my observations are about the activities that benefit from the kind of practices we use, albeit on a much smaller scale. the discipline we have is universal and the outcomes very predictable, successful replication is what we seek, as wuickly as possible as cheaply as it can be achieved whilst upholding the safety and quality factors as high as possible.

[@yinshah3303]

jangle jim those comments are meant for you to understand what you considered dangerous and can benefit from improvement is literally the least dangerous part of the work of a dentist. The handskills necessary in mouth makes this out of the mouth cutting fairly innocuous and not cost effective when we can competently do it freehand without the extra cost and time associated with added machanisms and steps.

You are absolutely correct; it is ridiculous when the base materials do not cost more than $100.00 altogether! I know because I study that science, but, because of the prices the industry has set for the instruments and the availability of them I do not practice. It is a travesty that Medicine has taken this path and Dentist value money more than human lives and their health. It should not be free, but it shourld be AFFORDABLE.

[@AdhikarDhakal]

As a matter of fact, the pick-up material can OFTEN cost almost $100, so youa re in wrong for thinking the base materials cost only $100. Here is a breakdown of what it takes for one particular all-on-4-case: Evaluation of case (consult with patient, CBCT/CT scans to determine adequate bone. Planning of the case Setup of immediate and waxing Processing and finishing of denture Denture to be converted Surgical stent to be made Anesthesia for patient Extraction of teeth Flapping tissue Placement of implants (WAYYYY more than $100) Placement of multi-unit abutments Everything you saw on this video while sometimes dealing with a patient thats unconsciously fighting you or not listening to commands (opening mouth, opening/closing without command) Post op After patient has healed, bringing patient back for removal of prosthesis, impressions, jig, verification of jig, Bite rim if necessary, bite registration, pouring, analog placement of implant model, mountings New setup Wax-try-in Design and Fabrication of bar if everything goes well at wax try-in Set teeth over bar to do final try-in with bar, x-rays/pano Wax, process and finish and staining of hybrid (different processes and more time versus regular dentures) Final delivery When you take into factor all that goes in towards this treatment. $48K is chump change. Its not just teeth, its someones ability to smile, feel good about themselves, eat, drink socialize. A small price for a lot more benefits.
