The Role of Cements in Dental Implant Restorations

LOD-284-00

Dr. Chandur Wadhwani

43 min

English

Restoring dental implants can be extremely challenging. It is imperative to understand available options related to crown retention, confirmation of fit of components and maintenance of implant restorations over time. The AAP, AAO, and the AARD have all stated that excess cement often leads to peri-implant disease and is considered a major risk factor for implant longevity. While many techniques and products have been developed specifically for cement-retained implant restorations, some are potentially detrimental to implants. Dentists are not always fully aware of the issues and implications of using inappropriate materials or methods.<br /> <br /> This presentation will explore the problems and challenges encountered by the restorative dentist, and to formulate clinical guidelines based on current research.<br /> <br /> <strong>Learning Objectives:</strong><br /> Understand the science behind the best practice of implant restoration.<br /> Understand what we need from implant cements, and how formulate a hierarchy of cement selection.<br /> How to best to detect excess cement and prevent failures.<br /> How to develop an all-encompassing cementation protocol for implant restorations.<br /> How to decide upon cemented versus screw-retained prostheses in various clinical situations.<br /> How to assess truly healthy peri-implant soft tissues.<br />

As experience with osseointegration increases, the application of various treatment modalities for both conventional and compromised patients also expands. A natural benefit of this growth in the learning curve is a better appreciation of emerging concepts for treatment planning with immediate loading. Angled or tilted implants used to support edentulous arch restorations have become a standard in implant dentistry. Early concerns regarding off-axis loading producing detrimental forces have been addressed with more recent publications presenting sound evidence as to the efficacy of this approach. As a result, treatment plans can now be created that eliminate the need for grafting, shorten overall treatment time, and allow for immediate loading in a much broader spectrum of patient presentations. Tilting of implants can also provide improved anterior –posterior spread and enhanced cross-arch stability, with the ultimate effect being a reduction in the number of implants needed (as few as 4 in the edentulous arch) for support in many cases. Longer implants can now be placed with the same effect for cross-arch stabilization, but with anchorage in areas remote from the oral cavity (zygoma) with documented high rates of success. With the use of CBCT scans for accurate diagnosis of osseous anatomy and determining the capability of existing bone to allow immediate loading, this approach is now even more controlled and precise.<br /> <br /> This presentation will focus on current clinical experience using available bone receptor sites to place implants for maximum desired effect with Immediate Loading.<br /> <br /> Additionally presented will be an analysis of present success rates that have provided the basis for creating a treatment planning protocol to avoid complications.

Soft Tissue Grafting for Implant Complications in the Esthetic Zone (CHINESE LANGUAGE ONLY)

LOD-276-00

Dr. Paul Lin

In this lecture, discover how to utilize Soft Tissue Grafting for correcting implant complications. Utilize 5 pink dilemmas to analyze the implant complications in the esthetic zone. Determine what the problem is: Is it a buccal concavity problem? Marginal recession? Papilla loss? Asymmetry? Or is it a color & texture problem? Utilize several soft tissue techniques: free gingival graft; connective tissue graft; modified roll technique; and modified VIP-CT technique. For the purposes of correction Dr. Lin breaks down implant complications into 7 categories. The steps for managing implant complications are similar to periodontal therapy. With proper case selection, patient selection, and procedure selection you will be able to achieve management of complications by soft tissue in a predictable way.
