Abstract:

Implant dentistry is a continually evolving and multi-faceted field. Over the last half a century since its inception by Dr. Ingoval Branamark, we have learned many lessons that influence our decisions everyday on choosing the best treatment strategy for our patients. We reflect on evidence-based dentistry and understanding of biology to help us get better and more predictable results. And with current advances in tissue regeneration and digital technology, we continue to achieve even better results with the aesthetics, safety, and longevity that our patients expect. But we must also face our future challenges like: Complications such as peri-implantitis and bone graft failures which are on the rise. Additionally, management of failure sites and multipleoperated sites require unique knowledge and skills. In this presentation, the author will review the lessons learned, current trends and how they are impacting our work flow, and discuss future challenges and solutions on how to overcome them.
