Prevention and management of potential complications using the ImmediaXy concept

This presentation will emphasize the Pre-treatment evaluation protocol for the management of patients with failing single tooth implants as well as full arch reconstructions.

Understanding of fundamental biologic as well as mechanical principles is essential for predictable outcomes. However, complications and failure do occur. This presentation will review the evaluation of complication sites and their management using the immediacy concept.

Discussion of immediate replacement of failed single implants whether in the maxillae or the mandible will be had with emphasis on site preparation after removal of the failed implant including undersizing and insertion toque. Management of complications in full arch restorations using tilted implants as well as the management of failed zygoma implants will be presented.

Learning objectives:

• Understanding medical conditions which may affect osseointegration.
• Early vs late implant failure: what does it mean?
• Management of failed implants for immediate replacement.
• Understanding biomechanical principles which may reduce implant failures
