COURSE OVERVIEW

What, Where and When?... Every aspect of traditional treatment planning protocols continues to be reevaluated and updated to better incorporate the benefits of osseointegration and regenerative therapy into clinical practice.  This is particularly necessary as we endeavor to optimally integrate these therapeutic modalities into the more challenging environments of the complex partially edentulous patient.  This presentation develops and outlines, in depth, a comprehensive and systematic treatment planning blueprint for the whole reconstructive team.  New and innovative hard and soft tissue regenerative techniques will be introduced and incorporated to more predictably achieve maintainable periodontal, occlusal and esthetic outcomes.
