The use of augmentation in conjunction with traditional length implants has long been considered the standard. With the advent of short and ultra-short implants, the need for augmentation has been greatly reduced.
This 60-minute webinar reviews recent long-term studies that confirm short and ultra-short implants show results comparable to standard-length implants placed in combination with augmentations. In addition, operative time is significantly less, and morbidity and costs are lower when short and ultra-short implants are used.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Identify those patients who would benefit from short or ultra-short implants.
- Explain the risks, benefits and potential complications of augmentations and augmentation material.
- Recognize when the use of short and ultra-short implants is a better option for the patient than augmentation.
- Explain surgical techniques, anatomy, and advantages and disadvantages of each surgical reconstructive technique.
