Overview

One of the most significant challenges in implant therapy involves optimally managing the transition of the restoration from the implant body through the soft tissues. This course will detail the importance of various factors affecting the diagnosis and treatment planning of biologically contoured implant restorations including the assessment of hard and soft tissues, peri-implant mucosal phenotype, restorative space, crown morphology, three dimensional (3D) and restoratively driven implant planning, developing consensus for ideal surgical implant position and placement of well-contoured provisional restorations or custom healing abutments. This course will also describe various techniques for fabricating customized healing abutments and the techniques for capturing tissue architecture in the definitive restoration.
