DOH554 Advanced Surgical Implantology (16)

Abstract

The first module will introduce the participants to the concepts of the placement of dental implants in difficult cases. The second module will introduce the participants to the concepts and difficulties of the placement of dental implants in aesthetically difficult cases. The final module will introduce the participants to the concepts of the immediate placement, immediate loading of implants and immediate provisionalisation.

Syllabus

The subject will cover the following topics:
The placement of implants in areas with limited or deficient hard tissue will be introduced. The principles of hard tissue (bone) grafting will be discussed. Different techniques and materials will be considered. Techniques for harvesting of autogenous bone will be presented. The use of grafting techniques with simultaneous implant placement will be discussed. The placement of implants in narrow ridges will be considered. Techniques for “ridge splitting” will be discussed. The advantages and limitations for this technique will be discussed. Placement of dental implants in the posterior maxilla often provides surgical challenges. Participants will be instructed in the principles of sinus augmentation by both the “osteotome” and lateral window techniques. The participants will be introduced to the challenges of obtaining an aesthetic result in the provision of implant supported prostheses. The anatomical variations (tissue biotype) and its influence on aesthetic results will be discussed. The interdental papilla and the implications of papilla loss will be discussed in terms of aesthetic outcomes. Surgical techniques to reduce the risks of papilla loss will be discussed. The need for correct implant positioning to obtain a pleasing aesthetic result will be discussed. The final module will introduce the participants to the concepts of the immediate placement, immediate loading of implants and immediate provisionalisation. The participants will become familiar with the current literature on the techniques and guidelines for this treatment modality. The use and fabrication of surgical guides will be discussed.
