Dental implant complications can result for a variety of reasons, compromising treatment outcomes, aesthetics, and function. Implants placed at unfavorable angles present obstacles where the only solution is explantation. Malpositioned implants present a particularly difficult challenge for the restorative/surgical clinician as well as the patient, who may have to undergo several procedures to correct the initial surgical intervention. The purpose of this hands-on workshop is to educate clinicians on the use of advanced software applications for the diagnosis, treatment planning, and fabrication of surgical guides to manage malpositioned implants. In addition, an entire digital workflow will be presented from acquiring the initial CBCT data, incorporating Intra-oral scans, software planning, followed by hands-on applications of photogrammetry, designing and 3-D printing of the transitional restoration for cases examples with on-site equipment and devices.
Learning Objectives:
Learn about the importance of CBCT 3-D imaging, proper diagnosis, and treatment planning concepts
Learn how to evaluate and manage malpositioned implants and to utilize software to plan for successful revisions
Review the use of 3D printing for the fabrication of advanced surgical guides
