Synopsis
Traditional, two-stage implant therapy has not been very popular among elderly patients because of multiple surgeries and prolonged course of treatment. Immediate placement and loading treatment protocol enables clinicians to provide all of the surgical and prosthetic steps in one visit. At the end of the visit, the patient leaves the office with a fixed screw retained implant supported overdenture.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
- Identify the right candidate for this treatment modality;
- Perform the surgical steps necessary for this treatment;
- Understanding the differences between immediate implant placement surgical protocol and traditional implant placement techniques;
- Execute the prosthetic steps related to fabricating and delivering the Same-Day Fixed Immediate Implant Supported Overdenture; and
- Establishing proper occlusal scheme to protect supporting implant and maximizing the comfort and functional efficiency.
