Date Course Online: Feb 25, 2021
Course Expiration Date: Feb 23, 2027

Overview:
The introduction of implant-supported prostheses has improved the quality of life of the edentulous population. The choice of the prostheses and the attachments should be based on various factors and not the preferences of the dentist or the patient. The success of an implant prosthesis relies on proper planning starting with the treatment prosthesis, progressing to CBCT assisted implant planning, and finally placement of implants with 3D surgical guides. Prosthetically driven implant planning ensures optimal placement of implants.

Implants have helped improve the denture bearing foundation and quality of life of edentulous patients. Treatment options available for edentulous patients are complete dentures, implant-supported overdentures, and implant-supported fixed restorations. This course describes the factors governing the choice of implant prostheses and attachments/abutments for both removable and fixed implant restorations. It also details the entire treatment planning sequence starting with the treatment prosthesis, progressing to CBCT assisted implant planning, and finally placement of implants with 3D surgical guides.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the dental professional should be able to:
• Understand the indications, contraindications, advantages and disadvantages of implant-supported fixed and removable prostheses.
• Choose optimal prostheses for the patient based on all relevant factors.
• Choose the most appropriate attachment system for the patient based on all the relevant factors including restorative space.
• Understand the entire workflow beginning with implant planning to implant placement based on both the anatomic and prosthetic determinants using CBCT, implant planning software, and 3D surgical guides.
• Learn to plan restoratively driven implants and understand the small but important differences in implant placement for removable and fixed prostheses.
