Lecture: Modern Implant Prosthetics - Make the Right Decisions
Abstract:
For successful implant prosthodontics safety, long-term performance, costs and the esthetic outcome are the main factors for the decision making process. Important achievements in this field have undoubtedly been the introduction of digital impressions, 3D planning and designing softwares, 3D printing and CAD/CAM technology in implant dentistry. 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.
As many of these techniques are already available in clinical practice it is of great importance to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques and materials in clinical applications. Hence, the aim of this lecture is to discuss and compare CAD CAM in prosthodontics from start to finish with the conventional workflow and conclude with the today’s recommendations.
Objectives:
- Evaluate the safety aspects of different type of implant reconstruction and select the appropriate material and design
- Differentiate between the conventional and the CAD CAM workflow in implant prosthodontics
- Learn and understand the efficiency of the different type or workflows (conventional vs CAD CAM) and their advantages and disadvantages for the dentists and the dental technicians.
