Significant regulatory changes in the US are affecting the production of milled abutments, frameworks, and components that directly interface with dental implants. This heightened level of oversight and accountability could influence standards and practices in Australia’s dental industry.

While dentists in Australia already play a critical role in the proper selection and design of implant components, this role could gain greater importance if the regulatory environment in Australia changes to reflect the US developments.

In our next webinar, Professor Neil Meredith, Specialist Prosthodontist and Dean of the Post Graduate Institute of Dental Surgery, will join Avant Dental’s Ian Feigen and Richard Salter to explain what potential regulatory changes in Australia could mean for dentists.

We’ll discuss:

• The importance of mechanical precision and tolerances in dental implants
• How loading parameters relate to determining mechanical tolerances and prosthesis fit
• The role of material selection in implant component design
• Impression and scanning challenges in implant dentistry
