To recreate a long term life-like restorations in implant dentistry is by no means an easy challenge. Our goal have also been moved further because now mimicking dental hard tissue is just not enough. Underlying and surrounding bone and soft tissue has to be respected, preserved and in some cases restored.
This course will look at the evidence for maximising the longevity and aesthetics of implants through appropriate case selection, pre-implant preparation, pre implant surgery and implant placement. It will also look at the impact of abutment connection and maintenance on long-term aesthetics.
This course will also aim to illustrate problems with achieving aesthetic outcomes with predictable longevity. By examining clinical cases closely one can identify the potential pitfalls and dangers and look to solve or work around each scenario individually.
