Description

Complimentary to AO Members and Non-Members

The clinician has multiple decisions when treatment planning for a compromised dentition. The evaluation of teeth for retention or extraction can involve factors including bone volume, extent of periodontal bone loss and restorability. The balance of these factors will enhance the predictably of the implants in the compromised dentition.

Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to : 1) develop a rationale for tooth extraction and placement of an implant; 2) discuss developments for the enhancement of implant survival; and 3) recognize signs for peri-implant diseases.
