"Narrow Diameter Implants to Enhance Treatment Options For Your Patients"
with Robert A. Horowitz, DDS '82
The use of narrow diameter implants has greatly enhanced the predictability of bone regenerative procedures. Placing “transitional” implants enables the surgeon to keep restorative/occlu...sal forces from creating trauma to the surgical site. Insertion of fixed, implant retained long-term prostheses will keep your patients comfortable during the surgical phases of therapy. Numerous designs of narrow diameter implants are available and approved for permanent use, not just as transitional stabilization. Indications and advantages of the different types will be demonstrated. Attendees will be able to manipulate the various types of implants, impression and restorative parts.
Two CE credits. Dinner is included. Co-sponsored by Intra-Lock, Inc.
