Synopsis
Implant therapy has become mainstream in all of our practices. Executing complex implant therapy with long-term success requires the need for knowledge in both surgical and prosthetic modalities. This presentation will address key points to address and understand when undertaking complex implant treatment, with specific emphasis on perio-prosthetic synergistic principles. Avoiding long-term implant complications is the key to continued implant success. We must begin with the end in mind, but also understand what we must look for when beginning, completing, and maintaining our implant reconstructions.
