DOH552 Advanced Restorative Implantology (16)

Abstract

The first module will introduce the participants to advanced restorative procedures for the partially edentulous patient. The second module will introduce the participants to advanced restorative procedures for the fully edentulous patient. The final module will introduce the participants to the concepts of the restoring implants placed in the aesthetic zone.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
-Be able to treatment plan for the provision of implant supported prostheses in cases involving multiple missing teeth.
-Be able to choose a suitable restorative option for a multi-unit case and be able to justify the choice of restorative option.
-Be able to take a fixture level impression for a multi unit restorative case.
-Be able to communicate effectively with a dental laboratory when designing prostheses for a multi-unit implant supported case.
-Be able to select a patient suitable for the provision of a full arch implant supported prosthesis.
-Be able to describe the diagnostic tests necessary when formulating a treatment for the placement of full arch implant supported prosthesis.
-Be able to identify the differences, advantages and disadvantages of fixed and removable prostheses.
-Be able to develop costings of providing full arch implant supported prostheses (fixed, hybrid and removable).
-Be able to describe the influence lost hard and soft tissues have treatment planning.
-Be able to describe the different materials and prosthetic designs available for the construction of a full arch implant supported prosthesis (fixed, hybrid and removable).
-Be able to communicate with patients realistic aesthetic outcomes of treatment.
-Be able to demonstrate understanding of how characteristics and variations of individual patients may affect treatment outcomes.
-Be able to elucidate occlusal design and the influence occlusal design has on the aesthetic outcome of a restoration.

Syllabus

The subject will cover the following topics:
The participant will be exposed to treatment planning multi-unit prostheses in the rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients. This will include the discussion of both fixed and removable appliances. The advantages and disadvantages of both will be discussed. Different designs in prosthetic devices will be included in the discussion. The second module will introduce the participants to advanced restorative procedures for the fully edentulous patient. The selection of patients suitable for this treatment modality will be discussed. The cost of this providing this material treatment modality will also be discussed. Practical exercises will involve impressions techniques used for full arch cases The final module will introduce the participants to the concepts of the restoring implants placed in the aesthetic zone. The requirements for obtaining a good restorative result will be discussed. Techniques for communication with patients about the limitations in obtaining ideal aesthetics will be discussed.
