Esthetics in Implantology
Abstract
Achieving an optimal esthetic result in implant therapy is a challenge, and one of the most important aspects is the predictability of our final results. The different dental disciplines that are involved (oral surgery, periosurgery, prothodontics) should not be discussed separately. The only way to achieve a satisfactory result is to take into consideration all possible aspects at every step of the treatment (treatment planning, surgery, prosthodontics). Over this 2-day workshop, different treatment modalities and considerations for single-tooth replacement and partially edentulous situations will be explored. During the hands-on portions on implant placement with simultaneous GBR, topics such as ideal technique selection, types of incisions, use of membranes, graft material, and suturing techniques will be discussed.
