Lecture Topics:
1. Implant Prosthetics in the Aesthetic Zone: Science, Protocol and Technique
The restoration of implants in the aesthetic zone varies significantly from implant treatment
in other areas. Successful outcomes require not just osseointegration of the implant fixture
itself, but also creation of appropriate gingival architecture, selection and fabrication of an
abutment / crown system that balances aesthetic and functional demands. Special attention
will be given to provisional techniques, abutment / crown selection, impression techniques
and gingival shaping. The techniques and materials demonstrated will balance efficient and
practical techniques with clinical results and scientific evidence.
Objectives:
– How to make provisional restorations that enhance the aesthetic outcome and
maximize aesthetic predictability
– How to select the appropriate abutment / crown in the aesthetic zone to maximize
long term aesthetics and durability
– Cement vs. Screw retained restorations: when, why and how
– How to efficiently take implant impressions that maximize accuracy
– How to make and deliver aesthetic provisionals with immediate implant placement
– How to predictably manage and create soft tissue aesthetics around anterior implants
2. Rescue Treatment of Implants in the Aesthetic Zone: Risks and Realities
This presentation will present the challenges and limitations unique to the rescue treatment of
partially edentulous implant patients. A case series of various scenarios will exemplify the
protocols and techniques utilized by our team in attempting to address these special
challenges. Relevant scientific backing will be provided when available and appropriate.
Objectives:
– Management of implant complications with a team approach
– The best available science for partially edentulous implant treatment
– Protocols and techniques to improve predictability in the most complicated cases
3. Prosthetic Implant Complications: Causes, Prevention and Management
This presentation will address the most common prosthetic implant complications in partially
edentulous treatments including loose / stripped / broken screws, progression of open contacts
and short anterior crowns, “screwmentable” complications, cement induced peri-implantitis,
and more. Each complication topic will cover frequency of occurrence, common causes,
strategies for prevention, and management.
Objectives:
– Causes of the most common prosthetic implant complications
– Protocols and techniques to reduce the incidence of prosthetic implant complications
– Practical management of these complications
