How can dentistry contribute to the society expected to have more aging population?
Now, twenty-five years have passed since the osseointegrated implant was first introduced in Japan, and implant-supported prostheses seem to be popular as an option in prosthedontic treatment for patients with complete edentulism and multiple missing teeth. However, all implant-supported prostheses cannot be treated similarly and you need to do clinical procedures based on complete clinical denture prosthodontics, when considering the restoration of facial esthetics.
In this session, we invite doctors from Asian countries to talk about the prosthedontic approaches for missing teeth, including applications of dentures and implants, as well as the current dental care and practices in each country.
