The ideal dental implant treatment plan creates a blueprint to achieve the best possible biological, functional and aesthetic outcomes for each patient, while ensuring long-lasting results. Successful outcomes depend on the clinician performing all steps throughout planning and therapy with careful consideration of the final restorative/prosthetic goals.
The lecture aims to:
- Discuss dental implant success rates, implant prosthetics, common implant complications and their causes.
- Share key clinical strategies, risk assessment and establishing an individual treatment plan to contribute to long-term outcomes, while emphasising on the health of the surrounding soft tissue.
- Focus on key surgical principles that will allow for soft-tissue success with dental implants and recommend the appropriate dental hygiene methods that will maintain the success of soft tissue around dental implants.
