This presentation will update the practitioner’s knowledge of implant dentistry including a review of related head and neck anatomy. Attendees will become familiar with the use of traditional radiology and CBCT for predictable implant dentistry. A review of clinical pharmacology will give an insight into the effective management of the perioperative and postoperative implant patient. Learn how to diagnose and create a treatment plan for predictable implant restorations. The emphasis will be on the single tooth application and will include a step-by- step approach to the procedure as well as a hands-on suturing lab. Participants will place implants on models to understand the protocol for implant placement and restoration.

Implants have proven to be a viable option for replacement of missing teeth and for retention of both fixed and removable prosthetics. They do, however, present their own set of challenges. This presentation will address both surgical and prosthetic failures. Topics will include diagnosis and management of complications at the time of surgery, ailing failing implants and management of prosthetic failures. A review of pre-operative planning to minimize failure and postoperative complications will also be discussed.

In todays esthetically driven practice it is a must to appropriately diagnose and understand the benefits and limitations of implant restorations. This lecture will provide the practitioner with an understanding of the technique of immediate implant placement and immediate provisionalization along with the long term benefits to patient esthetics. The entire dental team will benefit from this update and review on implant therapy.
