Restoring Dental Implants for the GDP - Part 3/3 (BE020312PT3)

AvailabilityCourse has taken place
SubjectOther
DescriptionImplants in dentistry today are a well recognised treatment option for our patients and the use of implants world-wide has grown in popularity in recent times more than any other treatment modality. The restoration protocols and stages with regards to implants have also simplified over the last few years to the point that these procedures are now well within the realm of general dentistry.
Additional informationThe aim of this modular course is to expand on the basic principles of implantology beginning with a structured approach to treatment planning, a restoration driven implant protocol through restoration of single implant crowns and small bridges.
Part one; Key points for the dentist will include discussing treatment options that are evidence based; simplified check lists to aid treatment planning whilst highlighting the pitfalls and problems that can occur. Interpretation of plain radiographs (DPT, intraoral views), understanding correct 3-dimensional implant placement and recognition of critical distance measurements. A hands- on session will include implant placement in a jaw model with emphasis on a restoration driven approach.
Part two; Key points for the dentist will revolve around the familiarity of the various restorative components required to construct a single implant supported crown. This module will focus on the types of impression copings available; the various implant abutment connections and designs; and the advantages of cement retained and screw retained restorations. A hand’s on session will include taking an impression of a single implant on a model.
Part three; Key points for the dentist will include the restorative protocols required to fabricate small bridges and achieving aesthetic ‘high end’ single implant restorations. This will include an overview of the use of Zirconia abutments and CAD-CAM techniques to produce customised restorations. This module will focus on the importance of provisional restorations, the need for modification of provisionals and their influence on soft tissue contouring. Laboratory techniques will be discussed and a step by step guide to delivery of final restoration and after-care will be reinforced. A hands-on session will include modification of a provisional restoration with flowable composite to influence the contours of the soft tissues.

Aims
  1. To expand on the basic principles of treatment planning including clinical and radiographic assessment. Define the basic biologic concepts of implantology and the known risk factors. Reinforce the protocols for restoration driven implant placement and respect proven biologic principles. Hands-on session simulating implant placement in the jaw bone.
  2. To provide an overview of the components required to begin restoration of a single implant crown. To appreciate the differing impression techniques available and the principles behind their use. Evaluation of the types of implant/ abutment connection and selection criteria. Hands-on session simulating impression taking of a single implant.
  3. To provide an overview of the latest CAD-CAM technology and the use of Zirconia components. To appreciate the value of provisional restorations and how they can improve the final aesthetic outcome. Delivery of the final implant restoration (crown or bridge) will be discussed and the importance of maintenance. Hands-on session including modification of a provisional restoration to influence soft tissue contours.
