Pikos Symposium 2021
Freeing our patients from wearing a “denture”…A solution less traveled.
Are we ready?
With Dr. Frank Tuminelli
The magnitude of edentulism in the United States is daunting. The desire of the dental profession to address this epidemic has proven to have many obstacles. Even after 40 years of implant therapy the challenge of treating this population still exists. The toll edentulism has on emotional and systemic health of patients is well documented in the literature.
There are many variables in the management of the edentulous patient. The dental team must consider surgical options, treatment time, and finances in order to deliver optimal results.
The presentation will revolve around management of the completely edentulous patient and those deemed to have a terminal dentition. The surgical and restorative options will be described, with emphasis on the most complex clinical presentations: ie the atrophic maxilla. The rationale for immediate loaded implant restorations, as a primary choice for these patients illustrating the goal of comprehensive care to restore quality of life will be the focus. Literature supported protocols, and the utilization of oral and facial skeleton for implant anchorage will be reviewed.
Learning Objectives:
• Understand the rationale and treatment options for the zygomatic implant approach
• Be familiar with the surgical and prosthetic planning in treating atrophic disease
• Be familiar with the prosthetic options available for restoring the edentulous maxilla
• Understand the anatomy, surgical approach and workflow of zygomatic surgery
