Abutment Emergence Profile and Its Effect on Peri-Implant Tissues

Abutment Emergence Profile and Its Effect on Peri-Implant Tissues 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:
Peri-implant tissues differ markedly from those around the natural dentition. A thorough understanding of these tissues allows the restoring clinician to predictably manage and shape them through the use of a provisional restoration. The emergence profile of the implant abutment can be designed so as to maximize tissue volume following an immediate loading scenario, and modified later to manipulate and shape the tissue to its desired position. Employing a provisional restoration and carefully manipulating the emergence profile provides in-situ testing of the patient’s biology and adaptation, helping the clinician accommodate patient expectations.

Learning Objectives:
• Explain the relevant differences between periodontal and peri-implant tissues
• Control the apico-coronal position of the peri-implant soft tissue by changing the emergence profile of the abutment
• Discuss the ability of a narrow emergence profile to increase the apparent volume of soft tissue around the implant
• Produce a provisional restoration that accurately enhances and shapes the peri-implant soft tissue

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