SURGICAL AND PROSTHODONTIC PROTOCOLS II
This interactive 3-day course is designed for clinicians looking to expand their dental implant treatment to a more advanced level including multi-unit cases and in the aesthetic zone.
Topics covered in the program include: the various implant placement timing protocols (immediate, early-delay and delayed), various loading protocols and mechanics for multiunit cases, hard and soft tissue regeneration, developing soft tissue profile in the aesthetic zone, the various (screw retained) designs of implant fixed prosthesis and how to best communicate with the dental laboratory to improve clinical outcome. The participants will gain understanding of fundamental selection criteria for implant componentry and importance of genuine components.
This course includes a comprehensive hands-on component including; taking splinted multiunit implant impression, taking closed tray impressions for the difficult single implant posterior cases, constructing chair-side provisional crown in the aesthetic zone and constructing customised impression coping in the aesthetic zone.
A dental implant surgery will be reviewed to emphasise the most important aspects of successful dental implant surgical treatment.
Hands-on: Saturday 28 August 2021
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
– Understand various implant placement timing protocols including immediate, earlydelayed, delayed.
– Understand hard and soft tissue regeneration procedures.
– Develop soft tissue profile in the aesthetic zone.
– Understand dental implant loading and mechanisms for multi-unit cases.
– Understand implant prosthesis design for multi-unit cases.
– Understand the importance of effective communication with the laboratory to achieve a predictable outcome.
– Maintenance and complications associated with dental implants.
HANDS-ON / PRACTICAL
– Construct a chair-side provisional implant crown in the aesthetic zone to develop soft tissue profile.
– Construct a customised impression coping to capture the developed soft tissue profile.
– Predictably take a routine implant impression for single unit cases.
– Predictably take a splinted implant impression for multi-unit cases.
– Take closed tray impressions for the posterior single implants with difficult access.
