2. Deciding on immediate, early or delayed implant placement and restoration protocols. Recognize the pros and cons of these decisions. The use and fabrication of customized healing abutments and provisionalization: Why they are important steps in guiding tissue form in both anterior and posterior regions.
3. Conventional impressions vs. optical scanning. The pros and cons of both procedures.
4. Review today’s restorative material options; understand the strengths and limitations of our product options.
5. Recognize why digital workflows are dramatically improving accuracy and practice efficiency, while reducing errors in the treatment planning phase, surgical protocols and restorative design.

Have you ever wondered why a patient who faithfully wears a night guard still finds their teeth wearing and their restorations chipping? Why do some people have wear on both their anterior and posterior teeth and other people just exhibit wear on their anterior teeth and the posterior teeth remain unchanged? Why some areas of wear flat and other areas involve cupping of the dentin? This course will address these questions and more. By discussing the four functional diagnoses which every dentist should be familiar and the different treatment approaches that are required to assure long term success dentists will become better equipped to incorporate occlusion into their diagnosis and treatment protocols.
-Understand the various functional diagnoses and how they relate to risk and prognosis
-Learn treatment approaches that manage or reduce functional risk and improve long term prognosis
-Recognize the variety of factors that contribute to tooth wear
