Dental CE Course: 2-Day Program on Surgical Complications in Implant Therapy

Complications associated with implant surgery can have a devastating effect on the outcome or the prognosis of dental implant treatment.
This 2-day program will focus on how to identify, avoid and successfully manage FORTY potential surgical implant complications. At the end of this course, participants will have a better understanding of the etiology, prevention and management of these 40 complications related to surgical implant therapy


PROGRAM TOPICS:

PREOPERATIVE CONDITIONS THAT MIGHT LEAD TO COMPLICATIONS
Inadequate vertical and horizontal restorative space
Limited jaw opening & Interarch distance
Inadequate alveolar width for optimal Bucco-lingual positioning



INTRAOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS IN IMPLANT PLACEMENT
Incorrect angulations (bucco-lingual and mesio-distal)
Malalignment
Nerve injury
Irregular, sharp or too narrow crestal ridge
Extensive resorption of the mandibular alveolar bone
Curved extraction socket
Acute or chronic infection at the insertion site
Retained root tips at the insertion site
Overheating the bone during implant site preparation
Sinus and Nasal floor perforation
Accidental partial or complete displacement of dental implants into the maxillary sinus
Accidental displacement of dental implants into the maxillary incisive canal
Deep and Shallow implant placement
Complications in flapless implant placement
Implant fracture
Excessive torque during insertion / compression necrosis
Inadequate Initial Stability/ loose Implant



POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS
Postoperative pain and its management
Incision line opening & proper suturing techniques
Cover screw exposure during the healing period
Bone loss during the healing period/ Thread exposure
Implant mobility during second-stage surgery
Implant Periapical Lesion (IPL) and the retrograde peri-implantitis
Radiotherapy and dental implants / osteoradionecrosis
Shallow vestibule secondary to ridge augmentation
