Full course description

 When Bad Things Happen to Good Implants 

Course Overview: Implants cannot be placed, restored, and forgotten. It is important for patients to understand their implant maintenance regimen and what site, systemic, or esthetic risk factors may predispose them to complications from the start. Providing patients with a comprehensive roadmap of their implant treatment with personalized informed consents will result in lasting esthetic and functional outcomes free of surprises and limited in complications.

Course Objectives: After this course, you will be able to:

-Diagnose peri-implant conditions using the new classification system

-Identify site, patient, and esthetic-related risk factors for peri-implant complications

-Avoid and manage a variety of problems in implant surgery and prosthetics
