Course Description

Implant replacement at the highest level must incorporate an understanding of underlying biologic principles. Although the single tooth implant restoration requires diligent planning, the partial edentulous predicament poses unique challenges, especially when working in the highly visible esthetic zone.

An understanding of when, where and how many implants to place in various edentulous permutations to optimize success will be discussed. Key articles that have clinical relevance to maintaining bone levels, papillary presence and the appropriate dimensions implants should be placed in relationship to each other and surrounding natural teeth will be reviewed.

A number of cases both successful and so called “less than ideal outcomes” will be analyzed to understand what went right and wrong in an effort to increase predictable desirable results. This course is geared to those involved in both the surgical placement or restoration of dental implants.

Learning Objectives

• Understand partial edentulous treatment options in the esthetic zone
• Be aware of complications that can arise and how to avoid them
• Become familiar with the literature regarding implant placement in partially edentulous situations
