Treatment of implant therapy related complications

or, “Better Call Periodontist”

In recent decades, oral implantology has significantly changed the traditional therapeutic approach by introducing new ways of rehabilitation for our patients. The growing number of implants is constantly increasing the number of technical and biological complications that we need to address.

In this course we will discuss these complications and the ways to handle them in the different stages of implant treatment. We will address important topics – how we can avoid these complications in the first place. Various techniques for soft tissue management will be demonstrated as a possible solution for different implant related situations. We will discuss the timing of procedures in order to achieve the best outcome and try to define the cases that can’t be solved by the soft tissue manipulations only.
