Evolution of the Species: Technology's Impact on Current and Future Criteria for Implant Abutments

Course content

This presentation will review how implant abutments have met or failed our original criteria followed by a look at how technology is changing our expectations for patient outcomes and productivity. The program will focus on patient-specific abutments and the simplicity and reliability they bring to the restorative process while allowing for functional and esthetic results.

At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the importance of diagnosis and planning.
  

• Become familiar with options for implant-supported restorations.
  

• Utilize protocols for proper treatment planning.

Restoring With Confidence: Anterior Esthetics Zone And Over Dentures
The Westin, Costa Mesa, CA. CE course outline

We are bringing an outstanding hands-on program on implant restoration to Orange County on Friday, December 9th. This half day seminar features Dr. Steven Sadowsky who is currently an Associate Professor of Removable Prosthodontics at the University of Pacific. Dr. Sadowsky will lecture on the subjects of both Anterior Esthetics and Overdentures in the morning and early afternoon. He will cover the subjects of soft tissue management (anterior esthetics), abutment selection and impression techniques. The afternoon session will conclude with the hands-on component of the presentation which will be on picking up attachment housings (ERA, Locator, etc) and the ever important undercut block out techniques for overdenture cases.

Two of our technical managers, Jim Cain CDT and Jim McEachern CDT, will be attending the program. They will be available to discuss implant case designs, answer technical questions and assisting with the hands-on session as needed. I think you'll agree that this program is an incredible value at $50 for 4 CE credits with Dr. Sadowsky. We hope to see you there!
