The participants are familiarisedwith the advantages and disadvantagesof various implant conceptsfor the edentulous mandible,with particular emphasis onthe special features of the differentretention mechanisms. Fixedconstructions are elucidated, andquestions concerning impressiontaking and accuracy of fit aredealt with, thus providing a clearprocedural concept. Furthermore,fundamental considerationsregarding strategic implants andvarious clinical (long-term) casesare presented, from which aviable concept for patients withonly a few remaining (non-vital)teeth is derived.> Part 3: Implants and prostheticsin shortened and interrupteddental arches• Treatment of the shorteneddental arch and large toothboundedspace: Key featuresand evaluation of the threetypes of treatment (compositebridge, purely implant-supportedprosthesis, and adjacentsingle-tooth implants)• Implants in periodontallydamaged dentition• Biomechanics of posterior teeth• The problem of the long,tooth-bounded space information• How secure are short implants?• The benefit of obliquelyanchored implants• The risks – how to assess andavoid them• Details on the number, spacingand diameter of implants• Critical analysis of variousimplant prosthetic abutmentconnectionsInformation and registration:BEGO Implant Systems GmbH & Co.

In this context,the anatomy of the edentuloussections of the dental arch, thebiomechanics, the risks andthe various treatment optionsare dealt with – also from adifferential therapy perspective.The course explains all aspectsof planning and implementingimplant-supported and implantretainedprostheses in theedentulous maxilla. This includesa detailed examination of thevarious relevant parameters, suchas available space, extent of thesinus, opposing dentition, andsurgical technique with templates,so that the participants arebetter equipped for such cases.7
