This program provides an in-depth exploration of the critical relationship between implant prosthodontics and the maintenance of peri-implant health. It will focus specifically on prosthesis design and how critical factors such as abutment height and width significantly influence peri-implant health.

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of this session, attendees should be able to: - Analyze how abutment height and width influence the stability and health of peri-implant tissues, and implement strategies to optimize these parameters in clinical practice. - Evaluate the relationship between emergence profile and peri-implant health, recommending appropriate design modifications to minimize the risk of peri-implantitis.
