Implant-retained Overdentures presentation

Program sumary

Implant therapy has dramatically broadened the prosthetic treatment spectrum for the completely edentulous patient experiencing retention problems with conventional dentures. Excellent long-term results have been reported using both implant-retained and implant-supported restorative modalities.

This presentation reviews the current approaches to rehabilitating the edentulous jaw using dental implants. Factors critical to treatment planning will be discussed including proper case selection, treatment sequencing, indication and selection of prosthetic design, choice of surgical protocol, number of implants required, spatial requirements, as well as cost and patient satisfaction. A step-by-step demonstration of clinical and laboratory steps will be presented, including lab-based and chair-side denture retrofitting procedures. Intra-operative complications and post-insertion maintenance recommendations will also be discussed.
