COURSE OVERVIEW

Evidence-based success has resulted in increasing utilization of dental implants in the treatment of all forms of edentulism. This weekend of presentations will emphasize communication between treatment ‘TEAM’ members and the effect of communication on treatment outcomes.  Diagnosis and planning procedures utilizing the ERA (Esthetic Risk Assessment) and RRA (Reconstructive Risk Assessment) patient classification systems will be highlighted. The use of technology in diagnosis and planning for individuals with advanced and complex needs will be covered. Choice of implant size and form will be considered with direct reference to the fabrication of esthetic restorations. The effective restoration-based communication of implant position through templates will be described, along with site enhancement possibilities for esthetic areas. The use of cement and screw-retained provisional restorations designed to support and contour soft tissues will be detailed. In addition, customized impression procedures that transfer the emergence form developed by the provisional restoration to the master cast and dental technician will be described. The evolution of CAD/CAM technology with the introduction of Zirconium abutments and restorations will be highlighted through patient presentations. Consideration will be given to edentulous and partially dentate patients, with emphasis on single and multiple missing teeth and dental esthetics.
