Managing implant restoration complications: A practical guide for clinicians

This lecture is designed to empower implant dentists with the knowledge and tools to manage and service complexities related to implant restorations.

Although dental professionals like to consider implant restorations to be infallible, there are actually many points in the biomechanical system of an implant prosthesis at which failure can occur. Restorative complications can present themselves in simple single-unit implant restorations to more complex full-arch situations.

This course will cover diagnosis and assessment of complications at each level of the implant complex—fixture, screw, abutment, crown. Dental professionals will review case studies and real-world scenarios to help participants understand how to evaluate the situation and determine the best long-term outcome for the patient.

Participants will leave the course with a deeper understanding of restorative implant complications, guidance on how to prevent complications from occurring, and the confidence to handle situations with complications in their own practices. If you are a restorative implant dentist, then this course is a must!

This course aims at teaching learners how to:

• Identify common restorative implant complications and understand their underlying causes.
