Course Description
The high success outcomes and patient satisfaction rates that are achieved with implant-supported restorations have led to an increased number of patients receiving dental implant therapy worldwide. But, how can implant dentistry look like in real life? The more a clinician is involved in restoring dental implants, the more likely they are to encounter prosthetic-related complications that require proper diagnosis and effective management. This presentation will provide an overview of the most commonly observed restorative complications of fixed and removable implant prostheses. Risk factors, prevention and diagnosis as well as management options based on current evidence will be discussed. Specific focus will be given in providing clinical tips for diagnosing and managing the most commonly encountered prosthesis-related complications in implant dentistry.
Learning Objective
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- List the most common technical complications that can affect implant prostheses.
- Identify risk factors that may increase the complication rate of implant prostheses.
- Select the appropriate management protocol for implant complications that are encountered in clinical practice.
