The implant overdenture has become the standard of care for the edentulous mandible. Not only does it enhance retention, improving quality of life for patients, it allows for preservation of the alveolar bone. This course is ideal for those who wish to gain the confidence to predictably incorporate this procedure in a general practice. This scientifically-based instruction will focus on the three most important things you must consider when starting any case.
Part 1 presents the critical didactic information to understand not only the how, but the why. Part 2 will apply the clinical criteria presented to several clinical cases. These lectures are a prerequisite for the afternoon workshop.
Learning Objectives:
Diagnose, treatment plan and sequence implant overdentures.
Understand space analysis, templates and abutment and attachment considerations.
Review the prosthesis driven restoration and implant placement concerns.
Understand abutment and attachment considerations.
Apply knowledge to a variety of clinical case presentations and troubleshoot complex cases.
