Abstract:

Any restorative clinician who is treating and maintaining implant restorations will encounter patients who may have implants that can be failing without one even knowing. The idea is to diagnosis this early enough to determine treatment to save the implant and restoration. This lecture is designed to help a restorative dentist understand diagnosing, treating and preventing implant failures. The first part of the lecture will focus on diagnosis. Early diagnosis is the key to prevent any future or further implant failures. It is important for a clinician to know the early symptoms to be able to diagnosis progressive failure. The second part of the lecture will focus on treating implant failures. Whether it is a total loss of both the implant and restoration; or diagnosing early enough to try and solve both implant and restoration- we will discuss various treatment modalities. The final part of the lecture will discuss about prevention of implant failures.
