COURSE OVERVIEW
Years ago, restorative-based implant dentistry revolutionized the field to allow for more predictable implant treatment including full arch, immediate loading, and aesthetic cases.
However, 1-2 out of 10 implants are still reported to be associated with bone loss (peri-implantitis). This webinar will focus on surgery and restorative technology to incorporate a health and maintenance driven implant outlook. A systemic approach towards achieving and maintaining healthy tissues around implants starts before implant selection, surgical planning or restorative design and continues with evidenced-based approaches to implant maintenance and strategies for management and regeneration of peri-implant defects.
Supported through an unrestricted educational grant from Implant Direct
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify patients at risk for peri-implantitis based on systemic health, case histories, behavioral, and anatomical factors.
- Incorporate key implant selection and materials options in surgical and restorative planning which set the stage for maintaining healthy bone and soft tissues around implants.
- Describe how a long-term implant maintenance program can be implemented to proactively reserve the course of peri-implantitis early using various patient management, restorative, surgical, regenerative, or laser-based options.
