Description

Dental implants have become a widely accepted, sought-after treatment option for replacing missing teeth. Favorable treatment outcomes depend on proper planning and execution, from both a restorative and a surgical perspective. This lecture will go well beyond the basics of restoring dental implants: achieving predictable esthetic outcomes when restoring anterior implants; capturing accurate impressions in multiple implant cases; identifying proper componentry for existing implants; recognizing and addressing common prosthetic complications; and most of all, supporting clinical decisions with scientific evidence.

Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1) describe the process of making accurate impressions for different types of implant-supported restorations; 2) recognize and treat common prosthetic-related complications; and 3) identify an appropriate restorative strategy for patients with existing implants.

This webinar is complimentary to AO members and non-members.
