Session 3

The Single Unit Implant vs. the 3-Unit Bridge & Cement vs. Screw-Retained (HANDS-ON COURSE)

As clinicians, it is your duty to educate your patients on the benefits of a single implant vs. a bridge. If the patient has no preference, it is your decision to determine if the crown will be cemented or screw-retained. These informed decisions ensure successful treatment planning and provide the desired outcome for your patients.

Session 4

Occlusion, Delivery Procedures, and Management of Complications

Occlusion is a controversial subject in dentistry on its own; add dental implants into the mix, and it becomes quite complicated. Teeth and dental implants differ in many ways. The periodontal ligament is absent around implants, and teeth drift and shift with craniofacial change, while dental implants remain stationary. Strategies must be in place to accommodate these differences.
