WORLD CONFERENCE 2003 IN RETROSPECT

Implant Treatment for the Edentulous Arch: Clinical Procedures

Abstract
This course presented new innovative techniques to manage the implant supported overdenture as well as the fixed prosthesis supported by multiple implants. One-stage implant and prosthetic components for use with two implants and an overdenture was featured, covering both the surgical and prosthetic management.

The clinical steps were presented when using the new carbon-fibered framework or the one-piece machined titanium Procera® Implant Bridge in a fixed implant supported prosthesis. Accuracy, precision of fit, and esthetics was demonstrated with all of these new designs.
