Course description:

Implant dentistry continues to be one of the hottest fields in dentistry, but with its popularity, more problems seem to arise than are solved. For example, clinicians are bombarded daily with manufacturer claims of superiority, and are lead to believe that certain products or procedures are more predictable than others. Also, surgical specialists may limit restorative options by placing implants in surgically convenient positions or by avoiding certain augmentation procedures. In this course, we will address these and other questions from both evidence based and anecdotal per- spectives. Topics covered include treatment planning, treatment presentation, prosthetic options and alternatives, tissue augmentation, impression techniques, abutment selection, delivery of cement retained restorations, and more.

Course objectives:

• Understand the importance of approaching implant dentistry as a prosthetically driven discipline

• Learn to present treatment options successfully

• Be aware of prosthetic options for common situations
• Recognize the limits of predictable grafting procedures
• Understand the importance of taking appropriate implant records

• Distinguish between stock, custom, and CAD/CAM abutments

• Learn how to deliver fixed prostheses appropriately
