Do New Techniques Alter the Treatment Plan? Implant Therapy Considerations for the Elderly Patient
This lecture addresses the futuristic treatment modalities in managing geriatric patients with strategic use of implants to support their partial or complete overdentures or fixed prostheses. Dr. Charlotte systematically maps out the developing solutions for geriatric patients in terms of implants, prosthetic designs, strategic use of implants, and more. Newer solutions, including use of narrow-diameter implants, improved and angulated stud-attachments, digital dentures, digital implant planning, and teledentistry for geriatric patients are discussed. A “back off strategy” of implant placement, keeping both fixed and removable prosthetic options in mind, is well explained.
At the end of this Congress Lecture you should be able to…
- explain newer implant techniques and developments for treating geriatric patients
- recognize strategic use of implants to provide removable or fixed prostheses to geriatric patients
- discuss how to integrate newer technologies to facilitate better patient and clinician experience
