WORLD CONFERENCE 2003 IN RETROSPECT

The Future Through Innovative Solutions Using C&B&I

Abstract
Implants have emerged to be the standard of care for tooth replacement in contemporary dentistry. In the near future, immediate function will be accepted as the first option for implant treatment. Advances in treatment planning and individualized pre-machined components will make these protocols more effective and predictable, especially for the non-implant specialist.

This presentation overviewed the genesis of these developments and their relationship to training and education requirements. It challenged existing mindsets with respect to current trends and future directions.
