GNYDM Symposium 2012 - Optimizing implant therapy with advanced digital technologies and custom transitional components
Cone beam scanning, digital impressions and precision guides to improve the predictability of implant-supported restorations
This course will show the incorporation of the latest digital technologies to assist the dental surgeon and restorative team to improve dental implant treatment outcomes.
Digital technology enables the fabrication of custom, patient-specific healing and temporary components, enhancing the esthetic outcome for each patient. Treatment costs for both the surgical and restorative teams are predictable as there is one fee associated with all components from the initial diagnosis through the final restorative phase of treatment.
Learning objectives:
- Proper presurgical planning enhances the final restorative result
- New technologies enhance patient acceptance of implant therapy
- Customized healing components save time for all members of the implant team
- Prefabricated custom transitional components give optimal soft tissue sculpting
