AUDIENCE: ALL

This course will explore the often-overlooked complexities of implant dentistry that can significantly impact clinical success and patient satisfaction. Through real-world examples and practical strategies, we will tackle common implant complications such as screw loosening, fractured components and soft tissue challenges. Attendees will gain insight into how systemic health, digital planning and speech design influence outcomes, especially in full-arch cases. We will also highlight common pitfalls in implant planning, including malocclusion and improper prosthetic positioning, with prosthodontic solutions to avoid “daily dumpster fires.” The course will incorporate contemporary tools such as AI and digital workflows that enhance precision and efficiency. By the end, clinicians will walk away with tangible techniques to elevate their implant care and avoid the preventable problems we do not often think about—until it’s too late.

Course Objectives:
1. Identify and manage common screw-related complications in single and full-arch implant restorations.
2. Evaluate systemic and oral health factors—such as xerostomia and systemic disease—that may contraindicate or complicate implant therapy.
3. Analyze digital tools and workflows, including AI and facially driven planning, to improve implant positioning and restorative predictability.
4. Diagnose and plan for malocclusion and biomechanical factors that can compromise implant-supported prosthetics, particularly in full-arch cases.
