Managing Aesthetic Complications with Implants
Dealing with aesthetic complications with dental implants can be very challenging. In this seminar, the reasons for aesthetic complications will be explored detail. We will take a deep dive into the surgical and prosthodontic solutions that may be considered to manage these cases.
Description
Video presentations will be used to demonstrate surgical techniques. This seminar will feature a hands-on session where participants will use connective tissue grafts and soft tissue substitutes to increase soft tissue volume in a pig jaw model.
In this seminar, the following questions will be addressed:
• What are the main causes of soft tissue complications with implants?
• How can connective tissue and free gingival grafts be used to manage aesthetic implant complications?
• What are the limits of soft tissue grafting in managing recession defects on dental implants?
• How to analyse a case to determine whether a soft tissue graft will be predictable?
• Does a bone graft combined with a soft tissue graft achieve better results?
• The power of pink ceramic – when can prosthodontic solutions be used to manage aesthetic complications?
• Designing and fabricating the “pink ceramic” flange in cantilever fixed prostheses using a single implant (I-cFDP) and when replacing multiple adjacent teeth.
• Hiding the transition zone
• Prosthodontic tips and tricks
