Prosthetic Hardware complications in implantology: An update with novel materials and workflows

Prof. Dr. Ali Murat Kökat

Description

Complications have always been a part of daily practice in dentistry and the one of the most unpleasant but attractive subjects in implantology.  Even with right treatment planning and, case selection and rehabilitation procedures guided by evidence-based dentistry principles; any patient or dental professional can deal with minor or major biological and hardware complications. Despite the famous quote ‘Failure is the best teacher for success’, complications should be prevented or at least managed in the best possible way.

This lecture will define a road map starting from planning with auxiliary tools like SAC and creating a virtual patient for a comprehensive analysis to managing old and new complications we have to handle in the digital era. Although the technology goes faster than evidence, our experiences with implant rehabilitations taught us a lot and keeps enlighten the future with solid scientific background. Selected cases from a broad prosthetic treatment range will create the base for discussing when and where to expect complications; how to manage them and how we can adapt novelties conveniently to our daily practice.
