There are different ways to approach complete arch implant restorations in today's prosthetic dentistry. When screw-retained bridges are used for full-arch cases, getting a true passive fit with an IOS (Intra Oral Scanner) can be a challenge. On top of that, many dentists find it tricky to get a natural, comfortable inter-arch relationship. Dr. Philippe Nuytens will show some creative and appealing solutions to these issues. He'll show how to use new tools and scan bodies to create a digital workflow with IOS that works for a complete arch implant rehabilitation. The goal is to get a fit that's both passive and retrievable with a great aesthetic result. Dr. Philippe Nuytens will focus at a ‘full digital bite registration’ on implants, sharing his own experience with many clinical cases. He also discusses the biological aspects of a new multi-unit system that influence the design of restorations. Plus, he presents solutions for predictable and aesthetic immediate loading in the complete implant arch.
Peri-implantitis is currently the most common cause of implant failure after osseointegration failures. Peri-implantitis and the precursor condition, Peri-implant mucositis, is preventable with appropriate patient and clinical maintenance protocols. Systematic reviews recently published by our laboratories (Temple University) indicate that the prevalence of peri-implantitis may be as high as 66%. Proper implant maintenance protocols should be initiated at implant treatment planning and reinforced with patients at each successive post operative appointment. Current strategies for implant maintenance include recognition of medical and medication risk factors impacting on bone loss around implants as well as in office maintenance procedures coupled with optimizing patient home care. This CE webinar will present current data illustrating preventive strategies for peri-implantitis.
Full arch cases are among the most challenging things we do as dentists whether they are implant cases or crown and bridge cases. There are so many factors that must be taken into account to achieve consistently ideal outcomes and it can be very difficult to control many of those factors using a traditional analog approach.
