The Dark Side of Implants: Complications, Diagnosis and Management
Jim Grisdale, DDS, Dip. Perio, Dip. Prosth
This is a must-course for clinicians surgically placing, restoring and maintaining implants. High success and survival rates are reported in the literature; however, there is an increasing number of complications reported particularly in patients who are at higher risk for complications. If the clinician is better able to identify and understand the different complications, prevention and management can be more effectively performed. Understanding the profile of patients who are at greatest risk for developing complications will lead to providing strategies for early recognition and intervention. Learning Objectives: • To identify patients at higher risk for dental implants and how to correctly diagnose the different types of complications • To recognize the differences between early and late-stage complications and to understand the differences between biological and biomechanical complications • To choose the appropriate management protocol for early intervention and treatment
