Abutment selection for implant-supported prosthodontics treatment — Your guide to predictable clinical practice!

An insight into dental implant-abutment selection criteria for the aesthetic and function of the restorations.

During the course, you will learn in detail about:

– Biomaterials and clinical applications of customized healing abutments
– Protocols for working with digital healing abutments around soft tissue
– Implants biologically driven emergence profile creation techniques
– Prosthetic protocols for working in aesthetically significant areas.
