Limited Seating COURSE

A Biologically-Oriented Approach to Predictable Esthetic Implant Dentistry

The world of implant dentistry has changed because patients are far more demanding today than many years ago. Prosthetically-driven treatment planning plays a crucial role in predicting functional, biologic, and esthetic success in implant cases. If prosthetic principles are respected, and there is a clear understanding of biology, implant cases will be less stressful for the clinician. Understanding biology is essential for successful implant therapy.

Description:

Overview & Learning Objectives

The world of implant dentistry has changed because patients are far more demanding today than many years ago. For example, patients do not expect a simple implant crown to substitute for a missing tooth. They expect it to look just like a natural tooth. Prosthetically-driven treatment planning plays a crucial role in predicting functional, biologic, and esthetic success in implant cases. If prosthetic principles are respected, and there is a clear understanding of biology, implant cases will be less stressful for the clinician. Understanding biology is essential for successful implant therapy.

The soft tissue-restorative interface is the most complicated area within implant therapy and requires attention to detail. Clinicians must understand the importance of interim restorations and design them adequately to condition the tissues to create natural-looking emergence profiles for dental implants. Material selection, abutment design, and delivery techniques play a crucial role in increasing implant therapy predictability. To increase awareness in esthetic implant therapy, clinicians will be exposed to the four-step approach to diagnosis, treatment plan, and execute in an organized and straightforward manner.

‍After participating in this activity, participants should be better able to:

Follow the four steps in the RDIP approach
Apply the important considerations for adequate treatment planning in esthetic implant therapy
Understand the relationship between tooth position, soft tissue, and the prognosis of esthetic implant therapy
Appreciate the importance of the different areas of the emergence profile and learn different techniques to condition the soft tissues
Utilize key parameters of prosthetically-driven implant therapy through analog and digital approaches
Put into practice the essential criteria for proper material selection and delivery technique
