(6 CE credits)
Despite significant advances in the field of implant
dentistry, few dentists have set in motion a protocol for immediate replacement
of teeth after extractions. Clinical procedures will be reviewed during this
presentation to allow dentists a better understanding of when, where and how
many implants should be used. Scientific biological rationales will be
explained and will in turn simplify technical steps, as well as optimize final
outcomes.
Topics
covered:
Dental implants and soft tissue results
Single vs. multiple missing teeth
Guided cast-based implant procedures
Abutment design
Combining implants with other ceramic restorations
Veneers
Recommended
for... Dentists and Laboratory Technicians.
