material will be presented in lecture format

SURGICAL AND PROSTHETIC TREATMENT PLANNING AND COMPLICATIONS

This course will focus on guidelines for surgical & prosthetic treatment in implant dentistry & their role in  management of complications, both biological & mechanical. Particular attention will be devoted to cement vs. screw-retained prosthetics & their impact on complications. In addition, infraocclusion due to growth will be presented, & addressed within  full range of mechanical & biological complications.

Learning Objectives:
To identify biological complications in implant dentistry
To identify hardware complications & implant failures
To identify mechanical & technical risks in implant dentistry
To diagnose complication & failure rates with cemented versus screw-retained reconstructions

More & more, dental implant therapy is becoming  preferred treatment option. Dental clinicians are faced with treating surgical & restorative complications that arise from dental implant treatment. Complications can occur for a multitude of reasons: improper treatment planning or site augmentation; soft tissue mismanagement; implant malpositioning; & peri-implantitis. Topics discussed will help clinicians identify & address implant complications, understand reasons they occur, determine treatment & solutions, & understand how to avoid them through prevention methodologies such as proper planning, patient selection & timely treatment.

Participants will walk away with an understanding of:
When do we talk about complications?
Biological & technical/mechanical complications (e.g. peri-implantitis)
Identifying risk factors & avoiding potential implant complications in patients with systemic disorders
Proper restorative & surgical treatment planning to help prevent dental implant complications
The malpositioned implant/prosthetic solutions
Implant esthetics
