Russell Baer: The new, the old, and the never-heard-of – options and decisions in implant prosthetics

This presentation looks at all the prosthetic options used to restore dental implants and examines what we do and don’t do and what we know and don’t know with regards to implant restorations. From single-tooth to extended, multiple missing-teeth segments, the discussion compares past techniques to present, state-of-the-art techniques and looks at the current evidence available and missing.
