This presentation will cover detailed concepts of diagnosis and treatment planning using state-of-the-art 3-D imaging modalities for the purpose of customizing therapy based on individual implant receptor sites. In addition, specific suggestions on incorporating new and innovative design features into your treatment design to achieve higher degrees of esthetic success as well as ease of use in the surgical or prosthetic phase will be discussed. These will include new surface treatments such as the implant micro-geometry, Laser-Lok microchannels, narrow diameter implants, as well as when to use straight vs. tapered implant designs.
