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.

At the completion of the program participants should be able

• Recognize implant treatment related complications
• Know how to avoid this complication in the first place
• Know how to treat these complications at the different stages of implant rehabilitation treatment
• Know how to use soft tissue related solutions for implant therapy complication treatment

Presentation is intended for all dental practitioners that have implant patients. It will be especially beneficial for dentists performing rehabilitations of patients with dental implants (general practitioners, prosthodontists, periodontists and oral surgeons).
