Synopsis
Participants will learn the role that esthetic risk assessment, patient education, strategic selection and proper sequencing of adjunctive procedures with implant placement and biologically compatible prosthetic protocols have on achieving predictable outcomes for single and multiple adjacent esthetic implant restorations. Case studies will be used to elucidate the important factors and principles related to avoiding and managing complications in esthetic implant therapy.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
- Perform a pre-treatment esthetic risk assessment and develop an esthetic risk profile for individual patients.
- Describe how strategic selection and proper sequencing of adjunctive procedures with implant placement and biologically compatible prosthetic protocols results in predictable outcomes in esthetic implant therapy.
- Discuss the strategies for successful management of esthetic implant complications.
