Complications and Esthetic Disasters with Implant Rehabilitation for Partially and Fully Edentulous Patients
Panos Papaspyridakos DDS, MS, PhD
Associate Professor, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine
The effectiveness of treating partially and fully edentulous patients with moderately rough surface implants and implant-supported fixed dental prostheses has been scientifically and clinically validated. However, the routine treatment of these patients with implant prostheses has
resulted in an associated increase in implant complications. Comprehensive treatment planning is key to avoiding or mitigating the prevalence of implant complications or even esthetic disasters with implant therapy. A step-by-step digital approach from diagnostic data collection and digital planning to surgical implant placement as well as prosthetic rehabilitation will be illustrated through clinical cases and supported by scientific evidence from multicenter clinical trials how to avoid and manage the incidence of implant complications.
LECTURE OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this session, attendees should be able to:
- Understand the treatment planning process from single implants to full-arch rehabilitations.
- Understand the surgical and prosthetic factors that may affect the long-term outcome of implant restorations.
- Understand the available materials and complications for implant restorations.
- Understand the risk factors that are correlated to esthetic, biologic and technical complications with implant rehabilitation.
