Same-Day Implant Dentistry: From Immediate Implantation to Immediate Loading
Same-Day Implant Dentistry: From Immediate Implantation to Immediate Loading
Course overview
Same-day implant dentistry requires precise diagnosis, careful case selection, surgical control, and close integration between implant placement and prosthetic treatment.
This clinically focused course presents a structured approach to immediate implant treatment, with particular emphasis on the aesthetic zone, immediate loading protocols, and the coordination of surgical, prosthetic, and laboratory procedures. Participants will explore how to assess the post-extraction socket, determine when immediate implantation and loading are appropriate, manage hard-tissue deficiencies, and plan the prosthetic restoration from the beginning of treatment.
During the course, you will explore:
Clinical assessment and decision-making for immediate implant placement, including socket anatomy, healing tissues, risk factors, and patient selection
Immediate implant placement in the aesthetic zone, including surgical protocols, piezosurgery, bone augmentation, and implant positioning
Immediate non-occlusal and occlusal loading: indications, clinical protocols, and key factors affecting predictability
Immediate full-arch implant placement and occlusal loading protocols
Implant prosthetic treatment: clinical and laboratory guidelines for predictable immediate restorations
Digital impressions and integration of surgical, prosthetic, and laboratory workflows for same-day treatment.
