Learning Objectives
After completing the course, you’ll be able to:
- Narrate the history of implant dentistry in modern times recounting the European efforts and U.S. developments.
- List 11 implant systems that have won ADA acceptance.
- Describe the magnitude of the missing tooth problem (edentulism) in the United States.
- Discuss the available evidence regarding the effectiveness of implants for the long term.
- List 8 factors that should be considered for long-term successful performance of dental implants.
- List 10 general contraindications for dental implants that standards of dental practice dictate.
- Identify indications for a specific implant type.
- Discuss the requirements for surgical, restorative, and periodontal management of patients with dental implants.
- Make an assessment of health risks of dental implants in a patient.
- Relate to a patient temporary and long-term problems that may result from implant placement.
- Identify 9 issues that a dentist should take into account to ensure an esthetically successful outcome.
- Determine the esthetic risk in an implant case by assessing gingival display.
- Differentiate between two "biotypes” of forms of periodontium and their implications in the success of dental implants.
- Recognize the importance of the position of the osseous crest as an indicator for potential loss of papillae after an implant placement.
- Discuss the implications of gingival form, presence or absence of papilla, adjacent tooth morphology, and available bone height and width on the successful placement of dental implants.
- Make a patient evaluation for immediate implant placement.
- Describe the procedure involving tooth extraction, preparation of the extraction area and the apical bone for the placement of the implant.
- Discuss the importance of the space between the implant and socket walls and point out various techniques used to fill the implant-to-socket-wall gap.
- List the advantages and disadvantages of immediate implant placement.
- Identify 4 factors that may prevent the immediate implant placement.
- List 3 reasons that more and more patients are choosing dental implants.
- Recount for a patient the results of a national survey of oral and maxillofacial surgeons that found growing patient interest and demand for dental implants.
- Describe and practice implant-borne single tooth replacement technique.
- Discuss the results of study enumerating ten years of patients’ experiences with emphasis on oral function, speech, oral self-care, esthetics, improvement in life-style and self-confidence.
To assess the effectiveness of the course material, we ask that you evaluate your achievement of each learning objective on a scale of A to D (A=excellent, B=good, C=fair, D=unsatisfactory). Please indicate your responses next to each learning objective and return it to us with your completed exam.
