Description

Teeth or Implants: An Evidence-Based Approach to Treatment Planning
Should I restore this tooth or extract it and replace it with a dental implant? This is a frequent question that dentists encounter on daily basis when evaluating broken and compromised teeth that require root canal therapy, post and core foundations and external coverage restorations. This course will provide a systematic overview of diagnostic and treatment planning criteria to help clarify this very important controversial topic. The most recent evidence and multiple clinical examples will be presented to highlight the most current treatment guidelines.

Dental Implants in the Esthetic Zone: Keys to Success
Implant in the esthetic zone is a very demanding and delicate clinical procedure. A successful outcome requires exquisite planning, surgical procedures and restorative procedures. This course will describe in detail the various aspects necessary to achieve successful and excellent outcome and realistic expectations when the pre-operative conditions are not ideal and how patient outcomes can be improved by excellent treatment planning, preparation and team management.

Speaker
Ibrahim Duqum, DDS, MS, FICD
Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Prosthodontics and the Director of the inaugural New Educational eXperience and Technology (NEXT) Center at UNC School of Dentistry.
