We have so many implant options in dentistry today. Conventional Zygomatic Pterygoid Basal…
To make it more complicates we have types in conventional like Active Passive…
And as if that was not enough we have different surface treatments !
In this episode I try to understand which is the best implant for use especially cause the cost of each is so different too !!
So I spoke to the man who has an experience of over 12,000 implant placements about which implant does he prefer and how a beginner like me can choose the right implant!
Dr Jaibin George speaks about “Why Implants in dentistry”on the 32 minute podcast
I have to admit that in the process of TEACHING dental photography I lost track of learning quite a few things. 1 of them is implantology. So I decided to pack my bags and head over to Cochin – The pearl of Arabian Sea to learn Implants from a dentist who has places over 12,000 Implants ! Yes, I am still learning implants from THE Dr. Jaibin George!

During my stay in Cochin I learnt many things and went for consultation with Dr. Jaibin at various places. In the process of learning I also recorded multiple podcasts and today I bring to you what all I’ve learnt from the expert.
Please note that I was completely illiterate about implants when I went to him so the initial topics might be pretty basic for many. It was totally enlightening for me and I have to say I learnt way more than I had expected. I’ll be presenting multiple episodes on various topics I discussed with him in the forthcoming weeks!
In this episode I learnt about –
Why learning Implants was so critical for me!
WHY IMPLANTS – a comparison between implant VS other modes of tooth replacement.
Complete dentures VS overdentures
How to go about learning implants
I am sure this episode will help the students of implantology. As usual Apart from the academic part I also recorded the rapid fire round with Sir, to know more about him apart from dentistry.
