Join us for an in-depth continuing education seminar presented by Dr. Jason D. Lee, DDS, MMSc, Program Director of Prosthodontics at Harvard School of Dental Medicine. This course is designed for dental professionals seeking a deeper understanding of the prosthetically driven principles that guide implant placement, tissue management, and restoration in the esthetic zone.

Through clinical cases and evidence-based discussion, participants will explore how interdisciplinary planning between prosthodontics and surgery can lead to more predictable esthetic outcomes and long-term peri-implant stability.

Course Highlights Include:

Part 1: Foundations of Esthetic Implant Success

• Understanding the biologic and prosthetic factors that influence implant outcomes in the esthetic zone

• Risk assessment and diagnostic strategies for predictable treatment planning

• Key considerations for achieving natural, harmonious implant restorations

Part 2: Prosthetically Driven Implant Positioning

• Principles of implant placement guided by restorative outcomes

• Managing spatial relationships for optimal emergence profile and esthetics

• Common pitfalls in implant positioning and how to avoid them

Part 3: Hard and Soft Tissue Management

• Biologic response of peri-implant tissues to surgical and prosthetic decisions

• Techniques for managing soft tissue architecture in esthetic implant cases

• Strategies for maintaining long-term tissue stability and contour

Part 4: Managing Challenging Esthetic Cases

• Approaches to immediate implant placement in compromised extraction sites

• Treatment planning for delayed implant placement in deficient ridges

• Clinical strategies to optimize esthetic outcomes in complex scenarios
