Debunking Myths in Implant Dentistry

Implant Dentistry is a rapidly evolving field, yet it remains clouded by numerous myths and misconceptions that can influence clinical decisions. This presentation, led by the globally renowned Dr. Shankar Iyer, is carefully structured with clinically relevant information and data to address and debunk these prevalent myths by comparing established and emerging techniques across various debated topics.

Key discussions will include:

• A comparison between bridges and implants, highlighting the advantages and limitations of each in different clinical scenarios.
• An exploration of the ongoing debate between bicortical and conventional implant placement, analyzing their implications on implant stability and long-term success.
• A deep dive into the short vs. long implant controversy, assessing survival rates and clinical outcomes.
• An examination of implant-abutment connections, contrasting conical vs. hex designs, and evaluating the performance of internal vs. external connections in different clinical scenarios.
• A thorough analysis of the choice between cemented and screw-retained restorations, focusing on clinical considerations such as retrievability, marginal fit, and peri-implant health.

Additionally, the session will address the critical yet often overlooked aspects of temporomandibular (TM) dysfunction and occlusion in implant dentistry, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach in treatment planning.

By challenging conventional wisdom and presenting evidence-based insights, this session will equip clinicians with the knowledge needed to make informed, patient-centered decisions in implantology. And who better to lead this effort than Dr. Shankar Iyer, an astute clinician and academician with over 30 years of quality evidence to back his lecture?
