Oral Implantology: Myths Exposed in Recent Research 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:
Today, a variety of surgical and prosthetic protocols, implant designs, and prosthetic devices are used for implant dentistry, employing many different dental technologies. With a plethora of options available, choosing an implant system has become highly challenging for practitioners. Having an understanding of the role of different implant design properties may help clinicians make informed decisions. This article provides an overview of factors affecting osseointegration and preservation of bone and discusses the importance of surgical and prosthetic treatments that respect the biologic width and avoid interventions, such as cementation, that may disturb the surrounding soft and hard tissues.

Learning Objectives:
• Describe implant connection approaches that are aimed at preserving bone surrounding an implant
• Discuss factors that promote peri-implant disease
• Explain how the use of a subcrestally angled implant can allow correction of the implant direction at the implant neck

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