Course Description:
The implant dentist and patient want the same things: restorations that look good, done as quickly as possible and remaining trouble free over the long term. This program will address the treatment plans that have allowed these positive outcomes over the last 20 years and contrast them with those that have had less optimum outcomes. Likewise implant strength, anti-rotational features, torque control and occlusion unique to contemporary implant systems will be discussed. Particular emphasis will be given to practical applications of biomechanical principles to assure long term, successful implant restorations. Clinically relevant research conclusions on early and immediate loading will be highlighted. Guidelines regarding bone dimensions and implant numbers will be addressed. Current controversies on wide and narrow diameter implants, bioactive surface coatings, immediate provisionals, splinting and screw vs. cement retention will be emphasized. Potential biomechanical and esthetic problem areas will be illustrated with clinical examples. Multiple solutions will be offered to help the experienced, and the non-experienced, dentist avoid esthetic or biomechanical failure after initial implant success.
