A deeper understanding of biological, functional and aesthetic principles now makes achieving excellence in implant dentistry much more predictable. New technologies and new materials are making it possible to reduce costs, morbidity and treatment time.
While the diagnosis of dental pathology has not changed at all in the last two decades, the strategic planning of implant treatment has undergone a real revolution.
This paper will present the evolution of implantology over the last two decades: how we approached clinical cases, from single units to total restorations, and how we have greatly simplified the same treatments for the benefit of the patient.
Learning objectives:
1. Understanding biological, functional, and aesthetic principles to enhance predictability in implant dentistry
2. Exploring the impact of new technologies and materials on cost, morbidity, and treatment time
3. Analyzing the revolution in strategic implant treatment planning over the last two decades
