Course objectives
In the past several years, esthetic implant failures have significantly increased. Most of these failures are caused by poor treatment quality of involved clinicians. The most important causes for esthetic failures are mal positioned implants, the utilization of oversized implants, the wrong number of implants, surgical protocols which overstress the healing potential of patients, or cemented implant restorations, which can induce peri-implant infections due to excess of cement.
This new Ce course will present a comprehensive overview how esthetic failures can be prevented and how they are treated. Besides more than 10 lectures, 4 to 6 live surgeries will be presented to document important steps of therapy.

SAC-Classification: Class A+C (advanced and complex).
