Case Studies

Dental implant education courses should help clinicians LEARN the fundamentals of implant dentistry, UNDERSTAND clinical information and techniques and APPLY these competences to their practice. Unfortunately, many traditional courses cram too much information into a short period of time or only offer lectures with didactic information. This causes clinicians to be "loaded up" on information and frustrated when they return to their practices on Monday with the ability to implement what they've learned.

Standardized plastic models that mimic patients' real situations are used worldwide in a variety of interactive implant education exercises to simulate procedures and allow surgeons to practice their skills. Manufacturers such as Frasaco and BoneModels produce these types of education models.

Creating an accurate impression, whether by conventional impression materials or with an intraoral scanner, is important to the success of an implant restoration. This is especially true if the patient has a full upper denture. This is a common problem encountered by general dentists, so obtaining an impression that is both accurate and esthetic can make a significant difference in a successful outcome.
