The development of soft & hard tissues replacement (Sinus grafts, bone growth, gingival graft, Implant & variety of abutments, adhesive dentistry with stronger resins & porcelains) has broadened our ability to treat disease and esthetic enhancement of teeth. But these new techniques complicated our treatment-planning process.

With development of these new treatment modalities, Dentists are abandoning certain forms of traditional well tested prosthodontic treatments. In the past, one accepted approach for single condition was the standard but now many treatment possibilities exist. With these new possibilities, anyone placing or restoring implants, must be prepared for the possibility of potential complications. Complications can be at one or multiple levels: at the level of material selection, or occlusion, or hygiene or continuous care or/and complex dental procedures.

For these reasons, by using many clinical situations examples, the presentation will identify the appropriate prosthodontic treatment for each, and will focus on many practical simplified prosthetic treatment solutions: “Take-Home Tips”.
