PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

  • dentify pre-treatment difficulty and esthetic parameters and relate these to treatment outcomes through effective risk assessment
  • Consider implant and abutment options for implant patients
  • Communicate the appropriate three-dimensional implant position through effective use of templates, with an emphasis on digital alternatives
  • Consider contoured provisional and definitive restorations and customized components designed to manage soft tissue outcomes
  • Describe restorative options (abutment and restoration options and Cad-Cam) and discuss the influence of these on treatment outcome
  • More effectively incorporate esthetic procedures into your dental implant practice

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Advanced, complex and esthetic implant-based restorations are a cornerstone of contemporary practice. However, treatment can be challenging when patients present with multiple “problems.” This presentation will first consider the objective categorization of treatment difficulty. Patient cases will used to illustrate a range of factors to be considered in routine assessment and planning – particularly those with esthetic ramifications. The importance of a team approach, and incorporation of evidence-based and contemporary clinical treatment options will be considered.

This program will consider esthetic diagnosis and principles that relate to our contemporary practice of implant dentistry. Modern restorative options will be considered in addition to evolving technologies and dental materials capable of improving treatment predictability. Also, tissue response to intervention and tools for managing supporting tissues will be examined.

As we discuss procedures designed to improve the quality and predictability of outcomes, we will look at avoiding and managing complications commonly confronted in everyday practice.
