Course Description

Contemporary implant therapy increasingly relies on a prosthetically driven, digitally integrated approach that connects treatment planning, implant placement, restorative component selection, emergence profile design, and definitive restoration. This course will explore how the EV implant family facilitates a seamless digital workflow, from prosthetically driven treatment planning and guided implant placement through digital impressions, patient-specific healing and provisional components, CAD/CAM abutment design, and definitive restoration. Emphasis will be placed on site-specific emergence profile development, peri-implant soft tissue architecture, restorative precision, and esthetic outcomes. Contemporary evidence supporting patient-specific CAD/CAM abutments and relevant regulatory and manufacturing considerations will also be reviewed, with an emphasis on practical, evidence-based strategies for contemporary implant practice.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the principles of prosthetically driven implant therapy and how the EV implant family can facilitate an integrated workflow from treatment planning and implant placement through restorative component selection and definitive restoration.
• Integrate digital technologies across the implant workflow, including guided implant planning and placement, digital implant impressions, custom healing and provisional components, and CAD/CAM restorative workflows, to improve clinical efficiency, restorative precision, and predictability.
• Apply principles of site-specific emergence profile design and patient-specific CAD/CAM abutment therapy to optimize peri-implant soft tissue architecture, esthetic outcomes, and longterm biologic stability.
• Evaluate contemporary clinical evidence supporting implant and restorative treatment protocols, including the biological, technical, and esthetic outcomes associated with patient-specific CAD/CAM abutments compared with conventional stock abutments.
