CE Credits: 1.5
Prerequisites: 0
Replacing a front tooth with a dental implant that is indistinguishable from the adjacent teeth is one of the most challenging procedures in dentistry. Innovations such as partial extraction therapy, dual zone grafting, and soft tissue augmentation have been introduced to offset the inevitable bone and soft tissue changes that begin when a tooth is extracted. Learn how, when, and why each of these techniques is utilized to achieve the most cosmetic anterior implant surgery possible. Digital innovations such as guided surgery and 3D printing will also be highlighted.
Learning Objectives:
Understand anterior gingival esthetics and the unique challenges of dental implant gingival esthetics.
Learn about the changes that take place when a tooth is extracted, and how to offset these changes with various approaches.
Understand the importance of the implant emergence profile, how to establish it at the time of implant placement, and transfer it to the final restoration.
