TOPIC I: Immediate Extraction Socket Management in the Esthetic Zone and Molars . What we know, what we think we know, and what we don’t know about?
Immediate placements of implants into extraction sockets is an exciting treatment alternative for our patients. However, there are many potential short and particularly long term risks which the practitioner must be fully aware of. This presentation will focus on the potential problems and benefits both clinically and biologically when the choice of immediate socket placement is made for single and multiple sites. This will be an evidence based presentation that will be objective about the best and simplest way to treat these types of cases.
Upon completion of this course, attendees should be able to:
Identify what type of healing takes place against the implant in immediate socket placement
Know how to minimize recession with immediate provisionalization
Know the proper crown contour for immediate provisionals
TOPIC II: Interdisciplinary Management of Aesthetic Problem Cases
The treatment planning of complex cases requires the highest level of knowledge and skill of the treating team. It is an orchestration of procedures including proper sequencing and timing that makes the difference. An envisionment of the final case before starting is required to know where the goal of treatment will be directed. This, n conjunction with the patients needs and clinical situation comprise the decision-making process for what is the best treatment for the patient.
Upon completion of this course, attendees should be able to:
Which teeth to save or extract?
Should implants be placed immediately or in a delayed protocol?
Should multiple implants be placed in the aesthetic zone?
