Peri-Implantitis: Diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and implant extraction 2018

Peri-Implantitis: Diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and implant extraction is organized by UCLA School of Dentistry and will be held on Apr 07, 2018 at UCLA School of Dentistry, Los Angeles, California, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event is Dentists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 7 CDE Credits.

Conference Description :
Since implant survival and success are greater than 95% in most short-term studies, long-term maintenance has come to the forefront of implant therapy. Although most clinicians know that maintenance is required after implant therapy, there are no universally accepted schedules, techniques, or guidelines recommended. In the past few years, several consensus conferences have been held and systematic reviews have been written to determine accurate diagnosis, prevalence, prevention, and treatment for peri-implantitis. This course will review current concepts in implant maintenance and peri-implantitis, and present some new concepts in treatment. It will also discuss indications and techniques for implant extraction, and regenerating missing bone.

Conference Objectives are:
• Diagnosis and etiology of peri-implantitis.
• Risk factors, prevention and treatment of peri-implantitis.
• Proper protocols for long-term implant maintenance (hygiene techniques and instruments).
• Step-by-step treatment of peri-implantitis (early and late stage).
• Decontamination and GBR around affected implants.
• Procedures and instrumentation for implant removal (resection and reversal techniques).
• Abutment selection and design to minimize incidence of peri-implantitis.
• Prosthesis retrieval under difficult circumstances (cemented restorations, stripped screws).

Registrations 30 days prior to course start dates are eligible for a 10% early registration discount (unless otherwise noted).

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
