Course Description:
Dental implants are a widely accepted solution for replacing missing teeth due to their high success rate in achieving osseointegration. However, with the increased number of implants being placed, there has been a significant rise in complications such as screw loosening, implant fracture, gum recession, and bone loss. These complications can occur at any stage of the treatment process. This presentation by Dr. Chang will explore how proper treatment planning, surgical techniques, and precise restoration fitting can help prevent these complications and the development of peri-implantitis. Through a series of clinical cases, Dr. Chang will guide clinicians through both non-surgical and surgical peri-implantitis treatment concepts. Key discussion points will include the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach in managing and preventing implant complications, the rationale for soft-tissue regeneration in conjunction with surgical peri-implantitis treatment, and prognostic factors associated with treatment outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the causes of peri-implant diseases related to restorative and surgical factors.
- Learn the importance of a collaborative approach in managing and preventing implant complications.
- Gain knowledge of various protocols for implant repair, both surgical and non-surgical.
- Recognize the critical role of soft-tissue phenotype around implants.
- Develop strategies for handling implants deemed hopeless due to complications.
- Implement effective maintenance protocols for both single implants and full arch implant restorations.
This presentation will provide valuable insights and practical approaches to effectively manage and prevent complications associated with dental implants.
