IC Level 1 - Single-tooth Implant Treatment Planning: Part I

This course will highlight clinical factors that directly influence treatment planning of single-tooth implants. Part 1 provides an introduction to implant treatment planning from a restoratively-driven perspective, and covers the edentulous space, and inter-radicular and alveolar ridge dimensions. Pre-surgical identification of these factors will help lead to consistent and predictable interdisciplinary treatment planning and communication and support will help lead to more optimal treatment outcomes once treatment begins.

Upon completion of this two-part course, learners will be able to:

• Identify the influence that clinical crown and inter-radicular space dimensions have on single-tooth implant planning.
• Describe the relationship that alveolar ridge dimensions, gingival zenith and interproximal attachment levels on adjacent natural teeth have on planning the ideal pink-white interface of an implant-supported restoration
• Appreciate key steps in treatment of single tooth implants that optimize esthetic success

Following completion of this course, participants are encouraged to complete Part 2.
