This program will review the philosophy of implant therapy today.  Today both tissue level and Bone level implants are appropriate.  The tissue level implant has been successful for years and has made implant restorative dentistry simple dentistry using a cemented approach.  Active implant surfaces and stable abutment connections impart very high predictability. Loading protocols have drastically changed through the years due to advances in surface technology.  Time to restorations is definitely shorter today.  Digital planning and placement, impressions, and CAD/CAM restorations are here today.  Technology today is not a shortcut but actually makes treatment better.  Of most importance is the goal of providing patients with a predictable esthetic result.
