Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is regarded as one of the most successful and highly predictable procedures performed today. However, what does one do if the result is no longer aesthetic due to ongoing growth and development? This interactive session will feature a distinguished panel that will share their collaborative expertise and thoughts on this emerging topic. Information will be given on the impact of craniofacial growth and development on dental implants and facial aesthetics, and how to attempt to treat patients whose implants are no longer esthetically or functionally acceptable. Our panelists will share their knowledge in diagnostics, surgical techniques and restorative analysis to solve the problem at hand. You, the audience, will be both the judge and jury over which approach is best.
