THE EVOLUTION OF IMPLANT PROSTHETICS TOWARDS A FULL DIGITAL AND PERSONALIZED SOLUTION
For successful implant prosthodontics safety, long-term performance, efficiency and the esthetic outcome are the main factors for the decision-making process. This lecture provides you with all clinical and scientific evidence to make the right decisions in all your clinical cases.
All-ceramic reconstructions have been documented to be as safe and provide a similar long-term performance as pfm crowns on titanium abutments over an observation period of 5-10 years. The evolution to a full digital work-flow will be analyzed in terms of efficiency and how it can be implemented in a current practice set-up.
A special focus will be put on the opportunity to have fully personalized all-ceramic reconstructions providing more biologic and esthetic outcomes. The digitalization process in implant prosthodontics has introduced a lot of new opportunities and material options, which help solving currently clinical and dental laboratory challenges.
Learning objectives:
1-understand the role of safety, long-term performance, and aesthetic outcomes in implant prosthodontic decision-making
2-explore the benefits of fully personalized all-ceramic reconstructions for biologic and esthetic outcomes
3-analyze the efficiency and implementation of a full digital workflow in clinical practice and dental laboratories
