Indication-based abutment selection
The possibilities and expectations of achieving a successful functional and esthetic outcome have been raised with the evolution of implant designs, prosthetic components and dental materials. Even after a successful surgical approach, the prosthodontic finalization remains challenging.
The overall focus of this webinar will remain on the selection of implant abutments
more specifically, focusing on different indications, materials and abutment types.
Especially the selection of implant abutments in the esthetic zone seems still challenging and has an influence on the final esthetic result.
This will be highlighted also in respect to the evidence concerning retention type (screw versus cement).
All aspects of the lecture will be presented with reference to contemporary literature and clinical studies. The objective of this lecture is therefore to provide a summary of the clinical evidence which is of relevance to the practitioners perspective of implant prosthetic treatment
Learning objectives:
- Selection of implant abutments in esthetic sites
- Selection of implant abutments in fixed prosthodontics
- Screw versus cement retention of fixed implant supported reconstructions
