Implants, Overdentures, Hybrids? What’s Up With That?

Description:
It’s no secret that patients who have to wear dentures often have challenges. While it would be great to just put in 8 implants and four bridges in those toothless arches the financial realities of that extensive treatment prevail. This webinar explores two alternatives, the hybrid or fixed detachable prosthesis and the implant retained overdenture. Understanding the basics of each will help you offer your patients the appropriate solution for their circumstances.

Soft Tissue Recession Around Implants

Soft Tissue Recession Around Implants
When treatment with dental implants is indicated, an accurate diagnosis must be made to evaluate the clinical parameters and determine the optimal time for immediate or delayed (ie, early or late) implant placement and loading following tooth extraction. It is also important to identify complications and their implications on the aesthetic outcome.1 This article explains behavior of the hard and soft tissue around the implant, evaluates the timing of implant placement after extraction, and reviews various parameters that influence tissue marginal remodeling.
