Success of dental implants requires the clinicians to understand the many factors that must come together to achieve long term outcomes. The lecture will explore the current scientific evidence on decisions related to the number of dental implants in various clinical scenarios of the partially and fully edentulous patients.

Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1) discuss the common factors that may affect the implant prosthodontics success; 2) recognize the influence of number of dental implants with over dentures; 3) explain the current evidence pertinent to number of dental implants in fixed full arch implant supported prosthesis; and 4) evaluate the many factors influencing clinical decisions in the number of dental implants in the partially edentulous.
