Course Description

Fixed implant-supported prostheses are considered to be the highest state-of-the-art solution we can offer to our edentulous patients and to patients who have a failing dentition. However, failures of these prostheses are commonly seen, and not clearly understood. Violation of tooth position with respect to esthetics, phonetic and function is most often the cause, resulting in frustration and disappointment of both the patient and the clinician.
