Treatment Planning Implant Dentistry with Robert F. Faulkner, DDS
————–
Course Description

Implants are an integral part of today’s contemporary dental practice. CT Scans, bone grafting, guided surgery, immediate load, platform switching, and soft tissue management are but a few of the many considerations in implant dentistry. Even single tooth implant dentistry can present an array of functional and esthetic problems. The basics still start with accurate records and establishing proper tooth position. These and many other considerations will be discussed in this 1 & 1/2 day workshop on treatment planning implant dentistry. Students are required to bring their own cases for planning and diagnostic work-up prior to placement of the implants. As part of the process we will discuss surgical templates, diagnostic wax-ups, custom trays, etc., making this a truly valuable educational program.

Topics for Review & Discussion

• When to order CT scans and how to utilize them
• Which implant systems to consider and why
• Surgical templates
• Indications for implants
• Customized emergence profile transfer
• Bone and tissue grafting
• Immediate load vs. delayed load
• Cement vs. screw retained
• Case design and material selection

• Plus much more
