10 Keys for Successful Esthetic-Zone Single Implants: Importance of Biotype Conversion for Lasting Success is organized by Dental Learning Systems, LLC and will be held from Sep 01, 2018 - Sep 30, 2021.

The target audience for this medical event is for Dentists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 2.00 Self Study Credits.

Description:
The concept of 10 keys for successful esthetic-zone single immediate implants is an evidenced-based summary for the treatment planning and replacement of a hopeless tooth in the maxillary anterior sextant. It includes two treatment-planning, five surgical, and three prosthetic keys. These keys are aimed at minimizing soft- and hard-tissue complications to achieve an optimal long-term esthetic implant restoration. Based on the 10 keys, which were described in a prior publication and are reiterated herein, the management of an immediate implant in the esthetic zone is considered a complex SAC procedure (SAC = straightforward, advanced, and complex). The present article highlights the importance of connective tissue grafting as part of the 10 keys and its role in biotype conversion and esthetic success that endures.

Learning Objectives:
• Identify the 10 keys for successful restoration of esthetic-zone single immediate implants
• Discuss the importance of autogenous subepithelial connective tissue grafts for the long-term maintenance of facial contours and esthetics
• Explain why the placement of an implant in the esthetic zone is a "complex SAC" procedure

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