Summary:
In recent years, dental implants have become an accepted method of replacing missing teeth. Today millions of implants are placed annually to rehabilitate and reestablish patients’ occlusions. However, in many of these individuals, the teeth may be in less than ideal position to accept the integration of single implants or groups of implants with the remaining teeth. Many of these patients could benefit from orthodontics to reposition malposed teeth to enhance the overall occlusal scheme. However, if significant numbers of teeth are missing, the orthodontist is at a disadvantage because of a lack of anchorage to effect the desired tooth movement. Past studies have shown that implants can be used as anchors for both orthopedic and orthodontic movement. However, some studies describing the use of implants for orthodontic anchorage do not recommend utilizing the implant as a restorative abutment after the orthodontic movement. Although nonroot-form onplants and implants can be placed in nonavleolar bone, used for anchorage, and then removed, this type of implant anchorage is not useful in patients having many missing teeth and multiple edentulous spaces. In this type of dental patient, an interdisciplinary approach of placing the implant prior to orthodontics, using it as an orthodontic anchor, and then using the same implant as a restorative abutment may be a more appropriate and cost-effective solution. This chapter will discuss the interdisciplinary management of implants that are used for orthodontic anchorage and as restorative abutments. The article will also describe the indications for implant anchorage, methods of locating the appropriate implant position, timing of orthodontic loading, types of provisional restorations appropriate for attaching orthodontic brackets, and the effects of orthodontic loading on the integrity of osseointegration and final restoration.

Preprosthetic Extraoral Verification for Implant-Supported Restorations
It has been well established that osteointegration of a dental implant is one of the fundamental components for successful implant therapy. A vital portion of this process is ascertainment of the appropriate prosthetic tooth position from which the ideal dental implant position is dictated within the alveolar bone. I It is equally imperative that prosthetically gUided implant positioning be accomplished for predictable attainment of functional, aesthetic, and hygienically maintainable restorative…

Zygomatic Implants in the Treatment of Fully Edentulous Patients
This presentation aims to bring some possibilities in the treatment of edentulous patients with a severe atrophic maxilla. The major problem is that the absence of an appropriate bone bed, will compromise any approach with bone grafts and substitutes, as well as involving a greater morbidity and treatment time. In this way the oral rehabilitation with zygomatic implants is a current need for many patients, which will require a scientific knowledge of the dental care professional. Through this slide show and video demonstration you will be able to recognize and diagnose cases recommended for the therapy with zygomatic implants and its possible configurations supporting an oral rehabilitation.

A Full Mouth Rehabilitation in Four Major Visits
Modern technology can dramatically cut the time and number of visits for a complex implant case while greatly improving the precision of the final result. The great advantage of the processes shown in this presentation is that the clinician retains full control of precision implant placement, emergence profile development and the construction and aesthetics of the final rehabilitation.
