IMPLANT DESIGN VS. PROSTHESIS DESIGN

- A De Facto or Long Distance Relationship?

Is there a relationship between implant design and prosthesis design? Should your choice of implant system determine your prosthesis design or should the converse hold true? The myriad of implant systems on the market and complexities in designing prostheses, coupled with the requirement to consider the site and patient factors, can make the treatment planning process overwhelming.

This lecture will distill implant designs, simplify the prosthesis design process, and provide clarity on the relationship between implant and prosthesis design.
