Overview

Reports indicate that more Americans are choosing dental implants as replacement options than in the past. This course reviews various categories of esthetic complications, including: environmental morphology; surgical and soft tissue healing protocol; implant location; crown/prosthesis form and type of abutment; facial esthetics; and prosthesis discoloration.
