SYNOPSIS 

While implants offer many substantial patient benefits, complications can occur. This presentation will describe and illustrate the most common complications that occur with single crowns and fixed partial dentures as well as identify the causes, how the complications can be prevented or minimized, and how they can be managed when they occur. 

This Presentation will include the following key topics: 

• Identification of the most common complications Presentation of which complications have decreased over time and  which ones have increased 
• Discussion of methods used to prevent/minimize prosthetic complications and thereby improve clinical success 
• Recommendations regarding methods of managing the  complications

IMPROVING SOFT TISSUE ESTHETICS AROUND CROWNS ON NATURAL TEETH AND IMPLANTS.  

HOW TO PREVENT PERI-MUCOSITIS AND PERI-IMPLANTITIS AROUND CROWNS ON IMPLANTS.

SYNOPSIS 

The cervical contour of crowns placed on natural teeth and implants can have a profound effect on the soft tissue form and position. This presentation will describe the S-shaped cervical contour that can promote incisal migration of the mucosa around crowns on natural teeth and implants, thereby improving the esthetic result. The second part of the presentation will focus on the causes of peri-mucositis and peri-implantitis around crowns on implants and how to minimize or prevent these biologic complications that can result in implant loss.  

This Presentation will include the following key topics: 

• Identification of the cervical contour characteristics that promote soft tissue health and improve the esthetic position of the soft tissue 
• Present the causes of peri-mucositis and peri-implantitis 
• Describe and illustrate the crown design factors that can aid in preventing peri-mucositis and peri-implantitis
