POSTPONED: A Simple Approach to Predictable Implant Prosthetics
A special course to benefit the ADVANCED EDUCATION IN GENERAL DENTISTRY program
GREAT FOR THE ENTIRE DENTAL OFFICE STAFF
April 18, 2020
Course overview
The world of implant dentistry has changed over time, our patients are far more demanding today than many years ago, they don’t expect a simple implant crown to substitute a missing tooth, they expect it to look just like a natural
tooth.
Prosthetically driven treatment planning plays a key role to predict functional, biologic and esthetic success in our implant cases, this in the single implant patient or the full arch implant supported patient. If prosthetic principles are respected and there is a clear understanding of biology, implant cases will be less stressful for the every day clinician.
Objectives
Gain an understanding of biology for successful implant therapy.
Soft tissue enhancement therapies to be done, pre, trans or post implant placement to make soft tissues around dental implants stable with long-lasting results.
Gain an understanding of the importance of provisionals, and how to design them to manipulate soft tissues to create natural looking emergence profiles.
Abutment selection and design to ensure healthy tissue around the restorations.
When to cement and what cement to use.
The prevention of problems that can lead to implant disease or failure.
DESIGN
Is there such thing as the ultimate design for an implant restoration?
Restorations should meet specific criteria to be close to ideal:
Good soft and hard tissue around the dental implant
Adequate profiles of the restorations to prevent soft tissue alterations
When to select screw vs. cement retained
Very well thought of occlusion
Adequate restorative space for full arch restorations
Restorative level for implant prosthesis
EVOLUTION OF THERAPY
Some of the major changes in implant therapy include the transition to digital protocols that range from the treatment planning phase to the fabrication of final restorations.
But digital protocols are not flawless and can lead to clinical mistakes if the clinician doesn’t understand the limitations this type of workflows might have.
Patient selection is imperative for specific workflows to be successful, For this matter, the clinician must distinguish specific patients and classify them into groups that may or may not benefit from “full digital” treatment.
