The dental implant has proven to have a high success rate and has embarked on an endless journey to replace missing teeth. Yet, implant losses still occur after prosthetic loading which justifies the concern of knowing the fundamental concepts of implant restorations, selecting the suitable materials and retention systems to ensure a long term result of dental implants. Therefore, this first part of the webinar will focus on the planning for restorative driven surgical implant planning, the timing for restoration of implant and also the various approaches of second-stage surgery for soft tissue contouring and creation of emergence profile.
