Course Description
Implants, Periodontics
This webinar is designed to teach the general dentist how to effectively treat complex interdisciplinary cases. Clinical, radiographic, and diagnostic features of several endodontic cases will be presented. The efficiency of modern root canal treatments on healing outcomes, and tooth retention will be discussed as well. Numerous endodontic cases meet implant dentistry. Patients’ needs for reduced treatment time introduced the concept of immediate implants which are placed in fresh extraction sockets. The concept of immediate and non-immediate implants and the risk if they are placed in a previously infected site will be reviewed. Finally, the difference between ailing and failing implants will be discussed in order to effectively save implants with several different techniques (guided bone regeneration, implantoplasty etc).
Course Objectives
At the completion of this course the participants should be able to:
- Justify the endodontic success using modern root canal treatment techniques
- Recognize risk factors and negative prognostic indicators which may compromise the endodontic treatment outcomes
- Diagnose endodontic-restorative failures which lead to extraction, ridge preservation and subsequent implant placement
- Understand the difference between the terms “peri-implantitis” and “retrograde peri-implantitis” and how to successfully manage these cases
- Realize when the endodontic treatment can’t be performed, and implant rehabilitation is the only treatment
- Understand when extraction and ridge preservation should be performed before implant placement
- Rationalize the placement of immediate implants without compromising the long-term success rate
- Distinguish between ailing and failing implants and the techniques used to regenerate bone around implants.
