Join us for a dinner meeting with Dr David Dunn & Mr Brian Walters presenting on Prosthetic Pink Replacement  in Implant Reconstructions...from Planned to Rescue!  AOS Members bring a friend for free - see website for further details.

"DEFICITS IN HARD AND SOFT TISSUES PRESENT A CONSTANT CHALLENGE TO THOSE INVOLVED IN IMPLANT PRSOSTHODONTICS.  WHILST SIGNIFICANT ADVANCES HAVE BEEN MADE IN BOTH HARD AND SOFT TISSUE REGENERATIVE PROCEDURES, THERE ARE OFTEN DEFICITS IN TRYING TO RECREATE OPTIMAL PROSTHETIC CONTOURS...ESPECIALLY IN THE AESTHETIC CONTEXT.

THE OPTION OF PROSTHETIC PINK REPLACEMENT OFFERS BOTH A RECOVERY OPTION FOR THOSE CASES WITH UNCERTAIN OR COMPROMISED SURGICAL OUTCOMES, AS WELL AS CASES IN WHICH PATIENTS DO NOT WANT TO UNDERGO MULTIPLE SURGICAL REGENERATIVE PROCEDURES.

PINK CERAMIC HAS OFTEN BEEN USED AS A FALL BACK OPTION WITH VARIABLE RESULTS DUE TO LIMITATIONS IN THIS TECHNOLOGY, ESPECIALLY IN SINGLE AND SMALLER PARTIAL RECONSTRUCTIONS WITH A LACK OF SYMMETRY.. PINK REPLACEMENT CAN BE UNDERTAKEN WITH A VARIETY OF MATERIALS INCLUDING ACRYLICS, CERAMICS, COMPOSITES AND HYBRID OPTIONS... THIS PRESENTATION WILL EXPLORE THE VARIOUS OPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS FROM BOTH A CLINICAL AND TECHNICAL PERSPECTIVE."
