Avoid the five biggest mistakes with dental implants

Technological advances have increased doctors’ access to dental implant treatment; However, even the most advanced tools, such as computer-guided surgery and 3D imaging, do not exclude common errors that can negatively affect the success of therapy. On June 26, award-winning American dentist and implantologist Dr. Kyle Stanley will present a webinar aimed at identifying and avoiding the most problematic mistakes made when placing implants. The free webinar will be held on the MIS Academy online platform.

Focusing on improving patient outcomes through evidence-based surgical and restorative workflows in dental implantology, Dr. Stanley’s webinar will delve into the complexities of peri-implant biology and associated complications. Participants will receive a comprehensive understanding of peri-implant biology, which Dr. Stanley says is essential for both surgeons and restorative dentists.

“Most errors are due to lack of knowledge or believing in old dogmas of dentistry,” Dr. Stanley told Dental Tribune International, adding: “Mistakes are easy to avoid, once you know the correct road”.

The webinar will highlight the need for a synergistic approach where knowledge of peri-implant biology and complications informs all aspects of treatment planning and patient care. Adhering to research-backed protocols will help practitioners significantly improve the effectiveness of implant treatments and ensure long-lasting benefits for their patients.

Dr. Stanley commented, “By learning to avoid the most common mistakes in implantology, you will avoid long-term bone loss, have fewer complications for your patients, and take greater pride in your work.”

The webinar has the following learning objectives:

learn to reduce bone loss and decrease restorative complications;

understand surgical and restorative principles; and

Adapt protocols to think biologically and understand the difference between teeth and implants.

The webinar, titled “The Five Biggest Mistakes Implantologists Make That Cause Problems,” will be broadcast on June 26 at 9 a.m. CEST. Participants will have the opportunity to earn continuing education credit by completing a questionnaire at the conclusion of the webinar. Visit MIS Academy to register.
