Lecture/Participation Course
Practice Growth Through Esthetic Regeneration and Implant Dentistry
Donald P. Callan, D.D.S.
OVERVIEW
Implants are no longer experimental, exotic or rare. Implants are now the treatment of choice for an increasing number of everyday people who want the best that dentistry has to offer. Implants are here to stay. Implants are placed and you restore them as routine crown and bridge dentistry. What a great service for patients! The goal of the dental implant restoration is to provide function, longevity, and esthetics to dental patients in an environment that can be maintained with routine oral hygiene procedures.
Implant success is no longer judged by whether the implant integrates or how long the implant remains in the patient's mouth. The lack of precise duplication of color, contour, and function of the natural dentition for the final implant prostheses may ultimately result in an implant failure as defined by your patient. The entire implant team must envision the final result appropriate for each patient. Patients expect and deserve the finest restoration available, a safe procedure, and long term results from dental implants.
This presentation is designed to achieve the criteria of longevity for the dentists and the criteria as set by the implant patient in defining success as esthetics, function, longevity, and a healthy environment. Dr. Callan will also present a dental implant update based on sound biological literature to meet the demands of your patients. Implant selection, placement location, spacing, marketing, surgical stents, immediate load, immediate placement, and surgical placement will also be reviewed.
