Our Courses

It is clear that you are seeing an avalanche of patients on GLP1 and GIP Receptor Agonists. They are now the most prescribed new drugs for Type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesitiy.

1. What are they?
2. How do they work?
3. How do these medications impact dental management of patients?

After a brief introduction on 3D implant positioning related to biological and prosthetic factors, following the most up to date scientific evidence, we’ll deep dive into the implant digital planning. We’ll explain why is so important to determine the position of the implant in the software, according to the prosthetic plan, before the surgery. In fact, the accuracy of the digital workflow can shorten the procedure time thanks to guided implant placement and easier adaption of the provisional in case of immediate loading.

The use of the Artificial Intelligence in specific software can facilitate their usage, minimizing the time that we must spend at the computer, and the number of prostho component that we must keep in stock. The possibility to see the final prosthetic components can eventually reduce the invasiveness through the selection of tilted or reduced diameter implants. It also helps the clinician in understanding in advance if there is any need of soft or hard tissue grafting. It’s important to underline that a deep understanding of the analogic workflow and of the soft and hard tissue management is mandatory before expanding our practice in the digital field. The fundamentals remain the same, it just changes the environment. Beginning probably is not that easy, but after a short learning curve this enhance the esthetic outcome of our implant cases.

Learning Objectives

– Understand the correct 3D implant positioning.
– Be able to collect data for the digital planning of a case.
– How to deal and program the case with soft and hard tissue augmentation.
– Select the correct prosthetic tools in order to minimize the invasiveness.
