Prosthetic Session II

Prosthetic Course II will cover details of esthetic single-tooth implant restorations and options for fixed prosthesis and short span fixed prosthesis. Implant design rational, treatment planning and the principles of cement prostheses are also presented. Learn how to select the correct abutment for each case based on design and prosthetic options. This course will include several comprehensive case studies demonstrating implant protection during occlusion, joining implants to teeth and crown height space considerations.
