Practical tips and tricks to make implant dentistry predictable, easier, and successful for long term.
This presentation will showcase proven research and techniques regarding placing implants with a restorative mind. By diving into implant biology, we will master key restorative concepts that can limit bone loss and improve patient outcomes in the long term. Both surgeons and doctors must understand digital and restorative workflows to maximize patient benefit.
Implant treatment is becoming an increasingly popular choice for patients to replace missing teeth, from single-tooth replacement to full-arch fixed implant restorations. The public is informed and interested in receiving the best care possible in our profession. Is your hygiene team providing the latest care protocols to your patients? Do you probe around an implant or not? Use metal scaler or not? How do you maintain a full arch of fixed implant restorations? This session will provide the latest and current scientifically based protocols for implant restoration maintenance.
