Foundational Treatment Planning for Dental Implants

For patients with missing teeth, dental Implants are an essential treatment option to consider. It is important that all members of the dental team understand their role in patient assessment, consent, treatment planning and stabilisation prior to dental implant treatment.

This day combines the principles of periodontology, prosthodontics and endodontology to consider the risk factors, stabilisation and diagnostic skills needed to successfully prepare patients for dental implant treatment.
