More than 5 million implants are placed each year in the US and while they generally have a high success rate, some of these implants will fail. Some fail quickly within several weeks and other failures can take more than a decade. Regardless of the cause or speed-to-failure, it’s clear that all practitioners should be prepared to identify and assess a failed implant -- and those who are placing implants should also be prepared to diagnose and treat a failed implant.
Join Dr. David Wong, board-certified periodontist, and international lecturer, for a deep dive into the best practices related to assessing, diagnosing, and planning treatment for failed implants, including:
• What can be done at the outset to achieve long-term implant success, such as careful patient selection and planning with CBCT

• Early and late signs of a failed implant and the role of CBCT in diagnosing and planning treatment
• How to determine a treatment plan, including whether to re-treat or extract
