Supported, in part, by an educational grant from Straumann USA

9:00am-12:00pm (3 CE credits)

$75 additional registration fee

Limited to 30 Dentists.

Course Descriptions:

This program is designed to provide an overview of the modern approach and trends for impression and temporization procedures in implant dentistry. Particular attention will be paid to the desired esthetic result for the final restoration. Attendees will review how to choose the right abutment and impression materials for implant and abutment level compressions for conventional and implant dentistry. Attendees will also learn to evaluate esthetics of the anterior dentition, shape and develop the perio-implant tissue / subgingival tissue, so the transfer of appropriate data to the laboratory technician is available when creating provisional restorations. These procedures will be discussed in the lecture format, and then participants will use models to practice impression-taking and temporization procedures.

Learning Objectives:

· Understand final impression techniques

· Discuss proper tissue management with respect to impression taking

· Recognize the difference in impression techniques for tissue level and bone level implants

· Select appropriate components for impression-taking at the implant or abutment level

· Understand the importance of a provisional restoration, related to emergence profile and soft tissue management

· Fabricate contoured provisionals and customized impression copings

· Transfer necessary data to the laboratory for the final restoration and care
