Immediate Loading Partial and Full Arch Restorations

Synopsis

All presentations in this session will include a review of the literature and summary of known data to establish the clinical data to support the hypothesis that immediate loading is a viable approach for all restorations given proper patient selection.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

  1. Describe the influence of masticatory mechanics on bone with implant restorations;
  2. Explain the importance of cross arch stabilization implants in the maxilla; and
  3. Apply treatment plans that incorporate transitioning between implants and teeth.

Custom vs. CAD/CAM vs. Stock Ceramics Abutments - Point Counterpoint

Synopsis

This session will critically review different prosthetic abutments that have been used and represent new technologies. The use of ceramic abutments will be shown including stock abutments and those custom fabricated specific to the needs of the patient. The use of a coordinated approach applying prosthetic and surgical molding of soft tissue for optimal esthetics will be shown in detail at the conclusion of the session.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

  1. Discuss the rationale for using different ceramic abutments that are available;
  2. Explain the indications for custom fabrication of esthetic abutments with ceramics; and
  3. Utilize prosthetic abutment shape and form to develop ideal soft tissue framing on esthetic implant restorations.

Advances in Treatment Planning

Synopsis

This session will review different medical problems that effect implant use. Lecturers will review the effects of bone density and medical problems that have been alleged to effect long term and short term implant integration. The second half of the session will focus on utilization of imaging technology to plan restorative options.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

  1. Describe the effect of osteoporosis and its treatment on bone healing on implants;
  2. Relate the evidence available on the effect of medical problems on implant health; and
  3. Explain the use of CT imaging to plan implant placement using restorative criteria to place implants.

Short and Long Term Effects of Implant Restorations Compared to Traditional Dental Restorations

Synopsis

This session will review malpractice issues related to implants by representatives from OMSNIC. The short- and long-term effects of implant restorations will be compared to traditional dental restorations, for both the partially edentulous patient and the completely edentulous patient. The speakers will provide evidence based information on why one method is recommended over an alternative method.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

  1. Discuss the liability issues with implants;
  2. Describe the reasons for recommending implants for tooth borne restorations to restore single and multiple tooth restorations; and
  3. Describe the reasons for recommending implants for implant assisted and implant supported restorations to restore the edentulous patient.
