In this course, Dr. de Oliveira will discuss everything you need to know about implant connections. What are conical connections and why use them? What could happen if I use a "flat on flat" connection? I've used a lead in bevel implant for years, why switch? Dr. de Oliveira will answer all these questions and more.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the difference between lead in bevel, conical and flat on flat connections.
- Identify the effects of connection length and screw loosening.
- Explain which connections best prevent micro movement and micro leakage.
- Compare the effects of concave and convex abutment profiles and platform switching.
