Course Details
Implant Maintenance - Perio & Prosthetics
Ongoing care - early detection and management of complications.
- Undertake appropriate ongoing care of implants
- Detect early signs of biological and mechanical complications
- Categorising cases according to risk and severity
- Instigate or refer for appropriate practical long term management
- Clinicians who look after implant patients from a maintenance aspect
What will I learn, objective
- Appreciate the advantage of early detection of complications
- Assess the level of risk of complication in a patient case and assign it to a relevant protocol for follow up
- Recognise the spectrum of different biological complications
- Understand the current guidelines for their management and subsequent prevention
- Diagnose the cause of mechanical complications and prescribe appropriate management
Course Outline
- Definition of implant and superstructure success, survival and failure, biological complications
- Mechanical complications
- Advantages of early detection of complications
- Practical treatment protocols for cases at different levels of risk
- Implants and their restorations need ongoing monitoring and care. The implants are potentially at risk from peri-implant inflammation leading to bone loss and the restorations from damage from occlusal forces. The successful implant with sound peri-implant mucosa, stable marginal bone and sound restoration may go on indefinitely. On the other hand, an implant affected by peri-implant inflammation and advancing bone loss or a chipped, loosened restoration are at best surviving at at worst destined for failure. Early detection of biological and/or mechanical complications can minimize and contain the problem.
