  Learning Objectives

   

  1. Definition and purpose of a position paper
  2. Records, how and why
  3. Surgical guides
  4. Provisionals
  5. Shaping tissue
  6. Lab Communication

  Implants are becoming more and more a part of our everyday treatment planning for our patients. When dentists first started doing implants, we we re just glad if we got good osseointegration. Now, we just putting a tooth back in an edentulous spot is not the standard of car. Implant restorations now need to look like they grew there and they need to function like real teeth.

  It is my belief that implant treatment planning should be prosthetically driven. Implant success is dependent upon a good team effort: the prosthetic dentist, the surgeon, and the lab technician.

  This lecture will cover:

  1. Building your team through position papers – the key is communication
  2. How to communicate with the surgeon about where you need the implants placed
  3. Tricks for making provisionals
  4. How to shape tissue and grow papilla
  5. How to communicate with your lab technician
