FRIDAY MORNING | 2.75 CEU | COURSE CODE 100 Esthetic Dentistry and Dental Implants …
Controversies, Compromises and Challenges Esthetic dentistry is an exciting and fulfilling discipline of dentistry that provides many benefits for both the patient and treating dentist. With new techniques and certainly many new materials, these procedures have become very predictable. As dental implants have evolved we can now offer patients a variety of treatment options including fixed and removable prostheses, single tooth replacement and even immediate load restorations. Yet, there exists a different set of challenges that the dentist and laboratory technician face in creating a truly esthetic implant restoration.
This program will investigate the realistic possibilities of combining esthetic dentistry with osseointegrated implants. Insights will be provided as to the importance of the pretreatment diagnosis and its relevance to the treatment outcome. Various clinical procedures will be presented and their importance discussed, thereby developing treatment sequences and establishing treatment protocols. In addition, the importance of establishing acceptable function in harmony with esthetic form will be emphasized for long term stability of the implant restorations. Communication with the dental laboratory technician will be reviewed and the sequence for the laboratory procedures will be presented.
