Course Content: Long-term
success of oral implants in partially edentulous cases has been the basis for
other clinicians to broaden the use of implants to younger patients in whom
teeth are missing due to agenesis and/or trauma. This activity will review the etiology
of missing teeth, treatment of dental or oral co-morbidities, consideration of
hard and soft tissue augmentation if needed, consideration of age, location of
missing teeth, and longevity of proposed restorations, and general anesthesia
and/or OR settings.
Educational Objectives:
- Discuss diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical intervention for the growing patient with dental implants
