The Exposure
Following osseointegration, the dental implant is exposed and the gum (gingiva) is shaped with the aid of a gingiva former. After 10-14 days, an impression can be taken, which acts as a basis for the dental technician to make your prosthesis.
Prosthetic Restoration
When your prosthesis is ready, it is fitted into your own dentition by securing it to the implant or implants. Depending on the type of fixed restoration, it can be screwed or cemented in place. In the case of removable solutions, your dentist will screw the abutments that will anchor your prosthesis to the implant and then fit the prosthesis.
Webinar: Scientific background for research and development of dental implants conducted by Prof. Ofer Moses.
About the webinar:
Many factors have been found to influence the interfacial bonding between a dental implant and bone and thus the success of implants. Factors such as surgical technique, host bed, implant design, implant surface, material biocompatibility, and loading conditions have all been shown to affect implant osseo-integration. Understanding these factors and applying them appropriately in the development of dental implants can lead to achieving predictable osseo-integration and thus minimizing potential implant failures. Developing a meticulous drilling protocol have a detrimental effect of implant surface and on bone healing.
Alpha-Bio Tec introduces a comprehensive screw-retained line for restorations on straight and tilted implants, with same workflow for conical Hex connection (CHC)
This video shows the dental laboratory procedure for screw retained restoration utilizing a metal abutment and a chairside bonded crown made from a self supporting ceramic such as zirconia or disilicate.
To product successful dental implant restorations that are ideal in fit, form, and function, a clinician must choose the best impression techniques. In this 60-minute webinar, you will learn how to ensure optimal successful outcome, and effectively communicate the details of the case to the laboratory.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understand the advantages of both open and closed tray impressioning techniques
2. Learn a step-by-step technique for open tray impressions
3. Review rationales for close communications with laboratory implant technician

This video is provided by OSSTEM Implant for practitioners who would like to follow the suggested protocol for placing a TSIII fixture using the Taper Kit and also: choosing the correct size Healing Abutment, taking an abutment level impression for the Rigid or Transfer Abutment, taking a fixture level impression with either the Transfer Impression Coping (closed tray technique) or Pick-up Impression Coping (open tray technique).
NICE is an advanced new NARROW implant solution for narrow alveolar ridges and limited spaces by adjacent teeth and roots. With a narrow and tapered body, an apical part that has sharp deep threads and variable thread design as well as the optimal Internal conical Hex connection, NICE is the ultimate system to expand your clinical treatment options. Together with a high quality design of prosthetics parts the NICE implant ensures long term esthetic result.

One of the most significant advancements in the implant industry in the past decade is the growing preference of the conical connection. For practitioners who started with external and internal hex implants, the benefits of conical connections might not be immediately obvious. This webinar is intended to help implant placing dentists understand its differences, as well as the clinical benefits of the available connections. While most dentists may still feel comfortable placing an internal hex implant, it is vital to understand and consider the benefits of a conical connection for your patients and practice.
