Synopsis
Management of the failing dentition often requires a team approach for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning. A thorough understanding of surgical and prosthetic principles is important for all team members to obtain predictable long-term esthetic and functional results. Case studies in treatment of the failing dentition/reconstruction will demonstrate design principles and prosthetic/surgical skill sets to avoid common pitfalls. This presentation will discuss full arch principles in staged and immediate implant reconstruction, as well as, the role of immediate fixed provisional restoration. Our goal is to limit unanticipated events, reduce treatment time and ongoing maintenance issues. Patient communication and the role of the restorative/surgeon/technician team is important in management of these high risk cases. Application and mastery of these concepts will enhance your practice, team communication and professional satisfaction.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
- To describe surgical-prosthetic design requirements for full arch implant reconstruction;
- To incorporate surgical-prosthetic protocols for immediate implant reconstruction and immediate provisionalization for full arch reconstruction into your implant practice; and
- To limit unanticipated events, reduce treatment time and ongoing maintenance issues.
