Lecture Synopsis

The aim of this presentation is to provide you with the information needed to confidently deal with Implants. The range of experience of those who deal with implants may vary from those who have never encountered them to those who deal with them daily. We will take a look at the history, the present and the future, we will look at the anatomy and histology involved. More importantly we will discuss the planning, the care and the recovery of our rehabilitated patients, from the hygienist perspective. No matter what your experience you will be able to take something new away with you.
