Reconsidering the Application of Implant Supported Overdentures.

The use of overdentures is not a new option among implant supported prostheses to restore missing teeth. However, improvements, including the enhanced quality of the implant surface and the advancement of less-invasive surgical procedures, have allowed it to work well in a wider variety of cases. Meanwhile, the replacement with fixed superstructures seems to be appropriate for an increasing number of patients with long-term use of implant-supported prostheses. Here, in the context of the desired safety and security of implant treatment, I would like to once again validate the option of implant supported overdentures by reviewing specific issues, including conditions for its application, possible post-operative problems, and preventive measures.

Which esthetic restorations and prosthedontic treatments for missing teeth achieve the best patients' satisfaction.

The more-widely distributed information, as well as the advances in dental treatment techniques, have increased patients' demand for dental esthetics. Dentists are expected to reach a higher goal than what used to be considered successful, and the goal level is now actually becoming attainable.

Thankfully, our forerunners made great efforts to improve implant materials and systems, as well as esthetic materials and bonding techniques that allow direct bonding and veneer restorations and to introduce precision equipments such as CAD/CAM, CT or microscopes. Now, it would not be an overstatement to say that we have promised to be more successful in our dental practice if we make no wrong choices and make the best use of them.

This time, we invited distinguished doctors to deliver lectures and hold discussions mainly focusing on esthetic restorations and prosthedontic treatments for missing teeth, which achieve the best patients’ satisfaction. I hope you will gain something for your daily practice by participating in this session.
