Immediate implant placement in the anterior maxilla remains one of implant dentistry’s greatest challenges. This webinar explores biological principles, placement guidelines, and how Co-Axis® implant design enables optimal positioning and predictable screw-retained restorations
Patient’s aesthetic demands have never been higher than they are today. The post-extraction socket immediate implant placement in the anterior maxilla remains one of implant dentistry’s most challenging procedures. Anatomic challenges often result in implants being placed and angulated in a compromised facial-biased position. This leads to cement-retained restorations or the use of angled abutments, both of which are sub-optimal for preserving mid-facial tissues.
This program will discuss basic biological principals, the research in this area as well as guidelines for implant placement in the post extraction anterior zone. The lecture will demonstrate why the use of a sub crestal angel correction – Co-Axis® Implant design lead to properly placed implants and the 100% use of screw-retained restorations. Different alternatives for a provisional restoration will be shown.
Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:
identify patient candidates for post-extraction socket immediate placement in the anterior zone;
incorporate tissue management guidelines for preserving the natural gingival contours post treatment;
explain the predictable anterior aesthetics benefits of a unique site-specific implant combined with a screw-retained restoration; and
execute the surgical techniques necessary to place an immediate implant placed in an anterior socket site
