Preserve or Replace? Making Informed Choices in Dentistry
Dental implants are a well-established solution for replacing missing teeth. However, the growing incidence of early implant failure and long-term complications raises important questions about their reliability.
In this timely and thought-provoking seminar, Dr. Rodrigo Neiva explores the full landscape of modern tooth replacement options—including the often-overlooked benefits of preserving natural teeth. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the advantages, disadvantages, and realistic expectations of implant dentistry, as well as the vital role periodontal treatment plays in delaying or avoiding extractions.
- Understand etiologic factors related to peri-implant disease
- Explore treatment options for implant-related complications
- Examine the rationale for saving natural teeth or postponing extractions
