Course Description:

Placing immediate implants into fresh extraction sites requires attention to detail which is more critical than conventional placement in a healed ridge. When immediate placement involves the esthetic zone of the maxilla, the technique sensitivity becomes even more demanding.
From the proper surgical positioning to final restoration, creating implant prostheses that look natural and have good long-term health, require the adherence to specific procedures and guidelines. Providing a stable prosthetic foundation is the first step. This is accomplished by the selection – and accurate surgical placement – of the immediate implant fixture. After fixture integration, the use of predictable restorative techniques will enhance the probability that the desired esthetic and functional outcome will be achieved. This 2-hour webinar will describe in a straightforward and illustrative format, the protocols necessary to accomplish the above goals.

Objectives:

• criteria for esthetic restorations
• proper site preparation for fixture placement
• atraumatic extraction and grafting procedures for bone preservation
• analog and digital impression techniques to ensure accurate restorations
• choosing the proper implant, healing abutment, and impression coping
• various clinical examples and how they are accomplished
