Course Description
The public perception of losing teeth is rapidly changing. Replacement of missing teeth in traditional dentistry focused on restoring the lost tooth with dentures and bridges to provide chewing function. This approach, however, did not address bone condition or prevent future bone loss. Oftentimes, that bone loss caused an “aging of the face.” Implantology has opened the door for people to no longer be dentally handicapped, to look more attractive, be healthier, and live fuller lives. Patient demands for reaching those goals are increasing as well. They are looking for more lifelike results in a more affordable and efficient manner.
With the evolution of materials and technology, a confluence of smile design, biomechanical engineering, and polymer chemistry have enabled dental teams (restorative dentists, surgeons, and lab technicians) to deliver better results than ever before. No longer does “guesswork” come into play for any immediate prosthetic restoration. Dehabilitation is no longer the norm; rehabilitation is the “new standard”. This is module 4 of a 6-module virtual dental implant summit.
Learning Objectives
- Through “pre-treatment facial analysis,” find out what the critical factors in smile design are and how to evaluate/capture those details while planning and performing full mouth rehabilitation
- Learn how to do treatment “by prescription” instead of by accident
- Discover how to use technology to not only place implant in better positions for retention and stability, but also to develop better esthetics for alveoloectomy guides and 3D printing
