Overview and Learning Objectives

Morning Lecture - The Nuts and Bolts of Implant Dentistry

This course is designed to focus on restorative implant dentistry, providing informational “gold” on a variety of topics essential to seeing long-term success with implants. From understanding patient decision making, to the tools and select tips for longer lasting dentistry, this course offers a practical “nuts and bolts” approach to restoring implants in your practice. A review of current concepts in tissue management and impressioning will be discussed. By course end, the audience will be able to select appropriate materials and the glues we choose to use to hold them. Furthermore, attendees will be able to utilize knowledge of the newest concepts with implants to perform and restore more competently and efficiently.

After completing this course, participants should be better able to:

Afternoon Lecture - Embracing the Change

Dentistry continues to advance, but what key concepts must not be left behind? The purpose of this course is to review key concepts and provide clinical pearls for the dental professional who provides esthetic, implant and complex restorative procedures to their patients. This course also aims to help troubleshoot common challenges faced when executing these procedures.
