LECTURE
The first module of the Academy will focus on indication, planning, prosthetics and the medical patient. In this module, we will go over the format of the course and there will be room for introductions. The purpose of the lecture is to teach the student how to create treatment plans around one or more compromised teeth. The decision to retain or extract an element can be made based on several aspects that will be discussed in detail.
Before choosing an implant, it is important to properly assess the patient’s medical condition. Which medically compromised patients should we keep in mind and what precautions should be taken?
What can happen if these are not affected? An implant is only indicated as a pillar for a suprastructure. It is therefore important to determine before treatment what the final suprastructure should be and whether there is sufficient occlusal space. Based on this, the implant position and direction is determined. Obtaining sufficient bone and soft tissue for the implant is critical, along with implant position. This module will also discuss in detail the conditions of an implant to achieve a good suprastructure.
Once the implant is placed and healed, it is time for prosthetics. This module discusses how to print around an implant and the pitfalls. With the advent of intraoral scanners, printing can be digitized. The differences between conventional printing and the digital process will be discussed, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of both methods. After printing, it is time for the dental phase. What abutments can be used, what should their design be like and what ceramic materials can be chosen? The differences between the materials and the influence the dentist should have on them in cooperation with the dental technician are discussed. The difference between screw-retained and cemented constructions is also discussed. Finally, the dentist should have a good understanding of the various components and auxiliary parts that are placed in the implant and how they should be checked to see if they have been placed in the right place in the implant.
