Course Outline

The goal of implant design is to optimize clinical success and to simplify both surgical and restorative procedures. With the proven success of a one-stage surgical protocol and the increased understanding of the factors needed for success of immediate load implants, one-piece implants should play a more significant role in implant dentistry.

A combination of proper case selection and implant design offers great opportunity to reduce both chair-time & component costs by the use of one-piece implants. The advantages of a two-piece implant for bone-level or tissue-level placement are well established, including the versatility of attaching a variety of application specific abutments. Dr. Niznick's new SwissPlant Implant provides all the advantages of a one- and two-stage implant with allin-one packaging that includes a free transfer, healing collar and straight abutment. Dr. Niznick has developed implants and prosthetic components surgically and/or prosthetically compatible with many of the major implant companies' products and will show how to economically provide Teeth-in-1Day for edentulous patients.
