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.
