| Summary | The aim of this course is to review current scientific literature supporting the use of dental implants in prosthodontic care. It focuses on the science of osseointegration and how this influences our treatment planning decisions and integration of clinical care. |
| Course description |
The management of patients requiring implant supported prostheses requires extensive knowledge of dental implant physiology in addition to all aspects of holistic treatment planning and patient management. This places the Prosthodontist as a leader due to the combination of problem solving, critical analysis of highly variable treatment conditions, clinical skills and respect for a team approach to patient care.
