Session 2
Combining TJR with Orthognathic Surgery - Clinical Indications presented by Dr. Deepak Krishnan (USA)
Short and ultra short implants have historically been associated with a poor prognosis in implant-supported oral rehabilitations. Over the years and advances in implantology, they have become a common treatment in daily practice, obtaining success rates that are have recently increased to almost match conventional implants.
Learning Objectives:
-The need to reduce work times, economic costs and intraoperative morbidity makes it necessary to add them to our rehabilitation options. For this, it is necessary to know their applications, when not to use them and choose the intrasinusal graft, and of course, the correct selection of the patient.
