Assistant Professor of Dental Medicine (Prosthodontics) at CUMC
Director, Predoctoral Prosthodontics

Dental implant prosthesis has been an integral aspect of contemporary dentistry. Particularly, there has been an increased demand in immediacy both surgically and restoratively. Chairside provisionalization maintains natural soft tissue architectural integrity and provides confidence for the patient throughout a difficult transition period. During the hands-on session the participants will have an opportunity to use 3D printed models, similar to the ones currently in use for CDM implant prosthodontics education.

Upon completion of the simulated chair-side workflow of implant supported provisionalization, participants will be able to learn the following:

Learning objectives:

• Pros and Cons of different luting materials (PMMA vs composite resin)
• Adequate emergence profile for implant supported prostheses
• The importance of critical and subcritical zone
