MODULE 1 – Biological, Anatomical, and Microbiological Foundations of Implant Placement

This module covers the following topics:

Master the variety of implant systems and their impact on long-term therapeutic success.

Understand main causes of implant failure

Learn about the susceptibility of peri-implant tissue to bacterial colonization and the critical role of plaque control

Emphasize the necessity of maintaining high levels of oral hygiene, both at home and professionally.

Examine the anatomical, biological, and microbiological bases of the implant placement environment.

Discuss the use of bone grafts to reconstruct missing volumes for implant insertion.

Analyze the interaction of these factors with the implantation environment and their predictability.

Discover the latest technologies and clinical strategies that promote oral health, especially in implant therapies.
