The 33rd Annual Dr. Peter Fedi Periodontics Lecture: “Treatment of the Failed Maxillary Central Incisor Tooth: ‘10 Keys’ for Providing Predictable Success and HAPPY Patients”
Thursday, April 11
2 - 5 PM
3 CDE Credits – DDS, DH, DA
ABOUT THE COURSE
This presentation will describe and identify 10 essential “keys” for performing immediate single tooth replacement of hopeless maxillary central incisor teeth. The “Updated 10 Keys Checklist” published in the Academy of Osseointegration News (2022) will provide high predictability in preventing esthetic complications and offers guidelines to ensure high success based on published studies by Dr. Robert Levine and his clinical research group. Patient-reported outcomes and practice “pearls” will be shared to make this complex treatment a seamless experience for the whole team.
This session will enable participants to:
- Recognize the “human factors” that can be primary causes of technical and environmental complications in implant dentistry due to the lack of checklists.
- Describe the “10 Keys” team approach and its use as a diagnostic, surgical and prosthetic sequential checklist to avoid esthetic implant complications.
- Recognize the importance of using and reviewing with the patient the ITI’s Esthetic Risk Profile (ITI Treatment Guide 2017) and “virtual” CBCT implant planning.
- Understand the importance of phenotype modification as part of the surgical protocol with use of autogenous soft tissue grafting or a new volume stable collagen matrix (VSCM) for a “palate-free approach” to implant placement.
