Course Description

Navigating the transition from natural teeth to implant placement is a pivotal aspect of clinical decision-making, since tooth extraction is one of the most common procedures performed in the human body. This process begins with tooth extraction that invariably leads to a series of biologic events which if not managed properly may lead to atrophy of the alveolar bone. Clinicians face a myriad of choices influenced by patient and site characteristics, often in the context of time constraints, material considerations and established protocols. Improving treatment predictability is highly dependent on evidence-based choices underscored by thorough risk assessment. In an era increasingly attuned to both rapid care and efficient procedures, the pursuit of immediacy resonates with patients and clinicians alike. A variety of digital tools may be adopted in the diagnosis, planning, surgery and prosthetics. These include 3D imaging, guided surgery, dynamic navigation and 3D printing and milling for restoration. This presentation serves as a guide to help and navigate the protocols based on key risk factors required for assessment make informed decisions. The nuances of immediate vs delayed implant placement, decision regarding the timing of implant placement, the precise implant positioning, the decision to graft the horizontal gap between the implant and socket and the need for soft tissue augmentation will be reviewed.
