Event Overview
It has been well established that the success of implant dentistry is dependent on both the quality of the treatment and the quality and proper selection of its subsequent restorative material. This synergism particularly beneficial to the integrity of the implant and its long-term survival.
The primary objective of this presentation is to equip clinicians with the knowledge to make informed decisions when choosing restorative materials for implant restorations, employing a clinical and evidence-based approach. With advancements in materials, technologies, and techniques, dental implant treatments have witnessed remarkable improvements in predictability, durability, and esthetics, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. These advancements now offer patients the benefits of more precise implant placement, reduced healing times, and enhanced aesthetics. As we continue to witness progress in the field, implant dentistry will undoubtedly continue to advance, empowering dentists to deliver even more exceptional results for patients.
