    SMDS General Membership Meeting. 

    Speaker: Sang J. Lee, DMD, MMSc

    Topic: Fixed implant rehabilitation and implant occlusion

    One of the major clinical challenges in fixed implant rehabilitation of the edentulous patient is the successful surgical implant placement by the planned prosthesis. The use of computed tomography (CT) scans coupled with computer assisted treatment planning allows precise implant placement according to the plan and minimizes the surgical complications and interventions. This presentation will address the diagnostic analysis, the decision-making process, treatment planning, guided surgical treatment and prosthodontic treatment of the full mouth implant rehabilitation. The lecture will also present the occlusal theories in implant dentistry and review the mostly accepted occlusal concepts and the clinical guidelines of optimal implant occlusion.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Understand the diagnostic analysis and the process for surgical and prosthodontic planning and treatment

    2. Recognize different approaches of implant surgery depending on clinical situations

    3. Identify common biological and mechanical complications of full mouth implant rehabilitation and its maintenance

    4. Understand the occlusal force distribution of teeth vs. implants and review the clinical guidelines of optimal implant occlusion.
