Implant for lower molar and have 2 questions. 1. Type of implant system. Straumann vs. 3i vs. Camlog? which is better and why? 3i appears to be a 3 part system with screw between abutment and implant, and the others 2 piece systems. 2. Choice of the dentist. Many general dentists now perform implants as well as periodontists. In addition to their years of experience and failure rates, any suggestions on how to select the right practitioner?

Answer: Choice of implants and who can provide them? The choice of implants is best left to the surgeon who will place them. There are some differences in different companies but they will all for the most part will be effective. My personal experience has been greatest with Zimmer and Straumann implants. I have also placed thousands of 3i implants and are effective- but can show slight bone loss over time. In terms of who should treat you, it is best to have a team: A trained surgeon who only does implant placement (oral surgeon or periodontist) and a restorative dentist who restores it. In my experience, the best results are achieved when you have two doctors, each doing what they do best. It is extremely rare to find one individual who has master both disciplines.
