Rethinking the Biological Connection
About This Event
Many clinicians approach implant crowns as direct replacements for teeth—but this mindset can lead to esthetic compromises, biomechanical failures, and long-term complications. In this compelling two-hour online course, you’ll learn why implant restorations require a fundamentally different design approach. Dr. Stevenson, an expert in evidence-based restorative protocols, will guide you through the critical differences between tooth-borne and implant-supported prostheses, and how to select the right abutment, impression technique, and material for each case. Whether you’re placing single units or restoring full arches, this course will help you make biologically sound decisions that protect your patient’s investment—and your reputation.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Evaluate how biological and biomechanical differences between teeth and implants influence restorative planning and design.
2. Apply clinical decision-making principles to select abutments, retention methods, and materials that enhance long-term implant success.
3. Design a workflow for implant crown delivery that emphasizes esthetics, occlusion, and long-term stability.
