The principle focus of implant dentistry has changed significantly from the era of ‘Anatomically driven implant placement’ to the current practice of ‘Restoration driven implant placement’
When we now look at the failing dentition in the aesthetic zone we now must immediately consider conversion to implants. We are continually seeking greater control of the peri-implant tissues and ultimately the aesthetics of the restoration. A new paradigm shift, “Tissue Care Concept” along with advances in implant surface engineering and implant/abutment designs allow us to consider immediate implant replacement, especially in the aesthetic zone, where preservation of hard and soft tissue is of paramount importance in order follow the principles of aesthetics by maintaining the elements which are already there.
This program will enhance your implant practice by addressing the following:
a review of ‘where we have been’ with implant dentistry
lay the basis for an understanding of where we are now
provide an bio-mechanical understanding for the current trend in immediate implant replacement
formulate a scientific basis for pushing the envelope of immediate implant placement and immediate non-functional loading of the implant
discuss the “Tissue Care Concept”
This multimedia presentation, incorporating video, animations, computerized graphics and clinical images is a detailed course for generalists and specialists including their respective support staff. It will help them broaden their understanding in the philosophy and science behind the new and exciting horizons currently being investigated.
