Implant Restorations of the Edentulous Patient:
A Systematic Treatment Evaluation of Available Methods
The number of claims related to implant
complications has increased significantly
over the last few years. In addition,
complications associated with implant
surgery can have a devastating effect on the
final outcome of treatment. This lecture
course will focus on how to identify and avoid
potential complications before they arise and
how to manage many of the common
complications that can occur with implant
therapy. Emphasis will be given to medicolegal
implications, patient risk assessment,
classifications of complications, and proper
treatment planning principles. At the end of
this course, participants will have a better
understanding of the prevention and management of complications related to implant therapy.

Implant treatment for the edentulous patient is challenging due to inherent anatomic and biomechanical problems. Moreover, controversy persists as to factors critical for implant and prosthetic success. Established criteria for design of the maxillary vs. mandibular implant prosthesis are lacking. This lecture reviews some literature on maxillary and mandibular implant prostheses with an emphasis on number, length, and distribution of implants, connected or not connected anchorage systems, maintenance, and patient satisfaction.
This lecture examines 3 critical factors that direct the type of dental prostheses, early in the consultation process:
1. the nature of the patient’s dental condition,
2. whether the residual ridge is visible in both the relaxed lip and smiling state and
3. the presence or the absence of bone in the radiographic zones.
With the presentation of many clinical situations, this lecture gives indications and contraindications of some possible restorations.
