Endosseous Implants are a proven treatment modality that can provide for many patients and clinicians alike a vast improvement in oral health care delivery. Increased demands for the functional and esthetic replacement of missing teeth have pushed Implant Dentistry to the forefront of the profession. Today more than ever this exciting treatment concept has become an integral part of the state-of-the-art dental practice!

Dr. Keith's program is entitled "Strategies for Success with the ITI Dental Implant System: From Integration to Restoration!" This lecture will provide an overview of the appropriate indications and prosthetic applications of the ITI Dental Implant System including single-tooth, partially and completely edentulous treatments. Participants will become familiar with Dr. Keith's protocol for pre-surgical planning involving an innovative use of radiographic and surgical templates to optimize proper implant placement and minimize restorative complications. This presentation also includes a simplified method of soft tissue shaping in the esthetic zone and the latest prosthetic advances in the ITI implant line. Scientific, technical, and practical issues are addressed from a clinical viewpoint that provides an immediate benefit to the restorative doctor in everyday practice.
