Surgical Implant Consult Protocol (Revised)

Implants are assigned to one of three different clinics=

• Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Graduate Periodontics

• Graduate Prosthodontics

The process of implant patient/surgical clinic assignment and follow-up treatment will be as follows:

• Student presents with a pre-doctoral implant case

• Student schedules a PRETP appointment in advanced prosthodontics for impressions, facebow and gathering of preliminary data

• Student performs a wax-up of the area to receive the implant(s) as the first step in fabricating the radiographic/surgical stent

• Student schedules/conducts the ATP in the Treatment Planning Clinic

• While in TPC, the student will complete an Internal Referral form, using the new Tab (Implant Consult)

  • • CBCT order entered on this form

    • Form approved by the covering Advanced Prosthodontics faculty

• Student will request Surgical Implant Consultation from GPA Veronica Guzman

  • • Tell Veronica:

      • • Student name

        • Number/chart number

        • implant sites, etc

  • Veronica assigns case to the specific graduate clinic.

    • • Surgery clinic can't be changed

  • Veronica sends the Internal Referral Form by Running Man to BOTH Radiology (RAD) and the Admin/Referral message group for the selected clinic, as follows:

    • • RAD - Radiology – (Admin User: Rio Quintero-Martinez)

      • ADVREF –Advanced Prosthodontics – (Admin User: Veronica Reynoso)

      • OSRE –Oral Surgery – (Admin User: Barbara Nichols)

      • PERIOR – Grad Periodontics – (Admin User: Justine Sunga)

• Student fabricates the radiographic/surgical stent.

• Highly preferable: have the student schedule the CBCT appointment

  • • Patient can schedule IF approved CBCT order has been placed and sent to Radiology.

    • Rio, in Radiology, will then send the CBCT to the selected clinic.

• Student follows up selected clinic to request a pre-doctoral implant surgery consultation

  • • Will receive instructions as to how to follow through with case execution and follow-up

    • Student MUST accompany patient to=

      • Surgical implant consult appointment

      • Surgical placement appointment

  • Surgical clinic should complete the bottom of the Internal Referral form used above:

    • They record the pertinent implant(s) identification information (company/size/lot/etc)

    • Then, send the form via running man back to the dental student

PROSTHODONTIC / RESTORATIVE PHASE:
