Description
Resources

The placement and restoration of dental implants into the biologic network of remaining teeth is neither assimilation nor invasion, but rather like the awkward intrusion of an obdurate guest. Although the mimicry of its organic neighbors may be convincing, the implant complex is unyielding and static, surrounded by a matrix that continually evolves. This interaction of stasis and dynamism challenges the nature and constancy of interdental contacts. This presentation will focus on the loss of contact that often occurs between implant restorations and natural teeth.

Learning Objectives:

Why the contact is lost The potential consequences of open contacts
Solutions for dealing with existing open contacts between teeth and implants
Designing implant crowns and bridges for today and tomorrow
