The success of dental implants is influenced by many surgical and restorative factors. In this seminar, we'll focus on the restorative factors that affect dental implants. With a greater understanding of these factors, both the surgical and restorative teams can improve the treatment they provide. Additionally, we'll discuss restorative techniques to expand the treatment we provide to our patients.
Treating edentulous patients can be an overwhelming process with patients lacking the retention and confidence they desire. Implant overdentures can be an ideal option to help improve the quality of life of these patients. We'll look at the benefits and challenges that will be faced with overdentures and review the clinical workflow to help demystify implant overdentures. Patients enter our practices every day that are at various stages of edentulism, however, knowing when to make the jump to an All-on-4 can be challenging. We'll look at treatment options and discuss key principles needed for success. Conversion techniques and clinical steps to fabricate the definitive prosthesis will be discussed. At the end of this seminar, you should have improved confidence in the treatment of the All-on-X patient.
