Abstract

Podium Seminar

Topic: RUINED RESTORATIONS & FRACTURED FAITH!!

Implant dentistry, when done right, can give both the patient and the clinician an immense sense of satifaction. However, evidence as well as experience suggests that implantology  is not free of its fair share of complications. Infact, contrary to what we would hope for, we see complications more often than most others procedures we deal with. 

This presentation will discuss various attributes of prosthetic failures due to fracture of frameworks and veneering material. It will feature trouble-shooting and prevention of the same via material selection, biomechinics and prosthetic design.

Hands-on Workshop

Title:FAQs with FMRs

Implant rehabilitations can open up a Pandora's box of uncertainties which could get very intimidating for some of us and challenging at times for all of us. For this workshop, lets get together and discuss some of the common questions that crop up in a quest towards making the journey predictable and free of errors. Looking forward to an interesting interaction.
