COURSE OVERVIEW:
Once zirconia dental implants have been placed in bone they need to be protected from early micro and macro movements. Furthermore during the four to five months of implant integration both for esthetic and functional purposes, clinician and patient have a need for protective appliances. Such appliances will vary based on multiple factors such as occlusion, finances and area of implant placement to name a few. The second aspect of teeth replacement with one-piece zirconia implants is the choice of adequate materials for cementation and definitive prosthetics. With a combination of lectures and live restorative demonstrations this course will focus on the prosthetic aspects of zirconia implantology. This course is designed to provide the clinician with the ability to predictably and confidently protect one-piece zirconia dental implants immediately after implant placement and during bone integration. The lecture material will cover selection of ceramics for predictable restoration of zirconia implants, how to select appropriate materials for priming and bonding of zirconia to zirconia and other ceramics leading up to cementation as well as cement selection.
This course will include in-depth coverage of:
- Zirconia as a dental implant material.
- Bonding mechanism of zirconia.
- Soft and hard tissue assessment prior to implantation.
- Learn about appropriate prosthetic treatment planning.
- Selection of temporization modality for one-piece zirconia implants.
- Immediate, delayed and protective temporization techniques.
- Selection of permanent restorative materials.
- Restorative methods and materials.
- Achieving superior aesthetic results.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
This course will enable you to:
- Recognize indications for successful metal free teeth replacement.
- Site preparation and/or preservation for optimal prosthetic results.
- Learn how to select and the indications for different temporization techniques.
- Utilize CBCT and virtual implant planning software to increase case success.
- Appropriate selection of permanent restorative materials.
