Course Description
The number of dental implant surgeries in people over the age of 75 has significantly increased. Older individuals want a better quality of life. As people age, there may be greater risks associated with implant placement and maintenance. We will discuss various considerations and adaptations necessary for successful implant outcomes for the older patient. We will assess how age-related changes affect oral, bone, and medical health and how this impacts implant treatment planning and maintenance.Learner Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Understand changes in oral, medical, and bone health as the population ages
- Learn how to incorporate such changes into proper implant planning in the geriatric population
- Comprehend how to manage the implant patient as they age
