What I wish I had known decades ago when starting with implants

It is generally accepted that dental implants is a well-documented and predictable treatment modality for replacement of missing teeth. However, despite the best care and management, a certain percentage of patients will experience complications. We can all be experts with the benefits of hindsight….. especially when problem arises.

This presentation will focus on two areas

  • Complications can be traumatic and expensive….. for both the patient and the clinician! Tooth injury by dental implants
  • “Implants don’t move?! Continued facial growth in implantology”

Learning Outcomes:

  1. The participants should be aware of the implications of multidirectional craniofacial growth that continues throughout life in relation to our implant treatment planning
  2. Neurosensory and blood supply disturbance to teeth adjacent to dental implants
  3. How to manage injury to an adjacent tooth……when (not ‘if’) it happens
  4. Prevention of potential serious consequences of injuring an adjacent tooth
