————–

This course is hosted by Astra Tech and Bay View Dental Lab

Course Description

This program will focus on patient-specific abutments and the simplicity and reliability they bring to the restorative process while allowing for functional and esthetic results for each individual patient. Using the most advanced computer technology, patient-specific abutments are available for all major implant systems and are designed and manufactured to the clinician’s specifications. The benefits of providing an anatomically correct abutment earlier in the healing cycle will be discussed. A review of the coordination and communication between the lab, surgeon and restorative colleague to achieve exceptional results will also be provided.

Topics for Review & Discussion

  • Discuss techniques and design of immediate and transitional temporaries
  • Understand customization of implant-level impressions
  • Integrate patient-specific abutments into any implant protocol
  • Learn the easiest and most innovative way to restore implants via a CAD/CAM custom abutment system

Astra Tech is committed to new and innovative knowledge, however, some presentations may include controversial material. Sponsorship by Astra Tech does not necessarily imply endorsement of a particular philosophy, procedure or product.
