Commercial Supporter: Nobel Biocare

CDE CREDITS: 0 | COST: $0.00 | Dec 27th, 2017 - Dec 31st, 2020

DESCRIPTION:
Today it is possible to replace teeth with implants in one minimally invasive surgical procedure. This is predicated on the realization that osseointegration and bone regeneration can occur simultaneously as a tooth root is replaced with an implant fixture. Furthermore, throughout the healing period the provisional restoration guides soft-tissue maturation to optimum contour, esthetics, and substantiveness. The significant benefit is an anatomically correct site restoration with one procedure—truly a patient-preferred sequence from tooth to implant.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Discuss the evolution of immediate implant procedures
Explain the efficacy of immediate implant/immediate provisional restoration as compared to immediate implants without restoration
Describe the clinical and patient advantages supporting the use of immediate implant/immediate provisional restoration
