Important Takeaways from video:

• More space is not always better
• Too much height adds more stress during non-axial forces.
• 8-10mm of crown height space is recommended

TRANSCRIPT:

So number 4 in this checklist is the Crown Height Space otherwise known as restorative space. That's the amount of space from the crest of The Ridge at where you're going to put the implant all the way measured to the occluding surface. Here's a diagram that shows you different amounts of space for each implant Crown. By looking at this diagram, you'd assume that more space is better, but that's not 100% true.

You definitely need to make sure you have enough space for all the components, but if the crown is too long during non-axial forces, which are oblique forces on the implant like when you are doing excursions or grinding, it can cause increased complications such as screw loosening. So, the number that I shoot for for Crown Height Space is between 8 to 10 millimeters. If I have between 8 to 10 millimeters of Crown Height space, I'm happy because I know my future Crown is going to be able to fit all of the components into it, but it won't be so long that it causes complications such as screw loosening.

Lesson Summary

Number 4 in this checklist is the Crown Height Space, also known as restorative space. This refers to the amount of space from the crest of The Ridge where the implant will be placed, all the way to the occluding surface.

Having enough space for all the implant components is important, but it's not always true that more space is better. If the crown is too long, it can cause complications during non-axial forces, such as oblique forces during excursions or grinding. These increased forces can lead to complications like screw loosening.

The recommended Crown Height Space is between 8 to 10 millimeters. This allows the future crown to fit all the components without being too long and causing complications.

Important Takeaways from the video:

• More space is not always better
• Too much height adds more stress during non-axial forces
• 8-10mm of crown height space is recommended
