Recognize and evaluate potential risk factors for common implant related complications
Identify techniques to manage common implant related surgical and prosthetic complications
Discuss prevention of and treatment options for peri-impantitis

Course Topics

Diagnosis and Management of Restorative Complications for Single-tooth and Multi-unit Implant Restorations

With Mark Montana, DDS

This presentation describes the common complications with single and multi-unit implant restorations and addresses why they occur and offers practical solutions to prevent their occurrence. The discussion offers emphasis on planning before beginning treatment, designing abutments for optimal tissue health and dependable performance, and learning to easily handle contrary issues that may eventually arise.

At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the value of planning based on the desired results
  • Identify the solutions available with patient-specific restorations and how they ultimately save chair time
  • Appreciate that most complications are avoidable when planning, design, and delivery are all coordinated

Diagnosis and Management of Implant-Related Surgical Complications

With Sausha Toghranegar, DMD, MS

Implant surgery is fun, exciting, and rewarding…most of the time. Sometimes, however, issues arise. Surgical complications can come in many different stages of the procedure. This course will cover the different potential complications and how to identify them. Upon identification, we’ll also discuss how to correct (or even possibly avoid) them.

At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the different stages of potential implant-related surgical complications
  • Evaluate potential risk factors prior to starting implant surgery 
  • Identify and diagnose surgical complications
  • Recognize different techniques to manage those complications

Peri-implant Disease: Prevention and Treatment

With Jan Derks, DDS

Peri-implantitis is a major challenge for dental professionals. This course will discuss the current understanding on etiology, prevalence, and risk factors. We will also evaluate data from recent studies demonstrating the efficacy of therapeutic approaches for the management of peri-implantitis. Treatment strategies will be illustrated by clinical cases.

At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Recognize different disease entities related to implants
  • Evaluate risk factors for peri-implantitis
  • Discuss treatment options for peri-implantitis
