Implant Therapy In The Esthetic Zone (Course C)

Implant Therapy In The Esthetic Zone (Course C) is organized by Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC and would be held during Mar 10 - 12, 2017 at Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC, Los Angeles, California, United States Of America The Target Audience for this medical event is basically for Dentists. This CME conference has been approved with 20 Continuing Education Credits.

The anterior maxilla is often referred to as the “esthetic zone.” Tooth replacement in the esthetic zone presents unique challenges for the clinician. Yet, achievement of optimal esthetics in this area can be most rewarding. The prerequisites for achieving a successful esthetic outcome in this region includes :
1) knowledge of the biology of the implant-prosthesis tissue interface and their post-treatment alterations
2) careful preoperative treatment planning
3) augmentation of hard and soft tissues when deficiencies exist;
4) attention to details in the execution of surgical and prosthetic techniques. This course will review the biological fundamentals, as well as the clinical, surgical and restorative techniques involved.

TOPICS TO BE COVERED :
* Biology of implant-prosthesis-tissue interface
* Factors affecting the stability of the peri-implant tissues
* Treatment planning and case selection :
>Surgical consideration
>Prosthetic considerations
* Diagnostic tools : CT imaging, surgical guide
* Computer-assisted implant positioning
* The applications of the microscope in implant surgery
* Influence of implant component design on esthetic outcome
* Selection and sequencing of implant site-development techniques
* Orthodontic therapy for site development
* Vestibular Incision Subperiosteal Tunnel Access (VISTA) for soft tissue augmentation
* VISTA for ridge augmentation in the esthetic zone
* Papilla preservation and regeneration around implants
