Oral health care practitioners play a critical role in ensuring the long-term success of dental implants. A comprehensive understanding of clinical parameters, risk assessment strategies, and evidence-based protocols—such as guided biofilm therapy (GBT)—is essential for achieving predictive, preventative, participatory, and personalized patient care. This lecture is designed for clinicians involved in implant placement and the management of peri-implant diseases, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to optimize implant outcomes and prevent complications.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Define key clinical parameters and risk assessments for evaluating implant health and pre-placement considerations.
- How could we recognize the early signs of peri-implant disease and biomechanical complications?
- Explain some key principles of GBT and its role in implant management.
- Optimize patient outcomes through multidisciplinary collaboration
