Esthetic Implant Dentistry: From Implant to Ideal Restoration. Stephen Chu Hands-On Workshop

Stephen Chu’s signature course on achieving predictable esthetic outcomes with implant restorations: from implant and abutment selection to emergence profile development and the final restoration.

The course covers the key factors that determine the predictability of restorations in the esthetic zone: risks and complications, abutment selection, pre-formed custom abutments, provisional crowns, and peri-implant soft-tissue management.

Particular attention is given to clinical decisions that directly influence the esthetics and long-term stability of implant restorations: cement-retained versus screw-retained restorations, provisional and definitive restoration protocols, emergence profile development, and proper contouring of single-unit anterior restorations.

Course lecturer — Stephen Chu. An internationally recognized expert in esthetic, restorative, and implant dentistry, author of 7 textbooks and more than 90 publications.

After completing the course, you will:

— Learn to assess risks and complications associated with implant placement in the esthetic zone
— Be able to select the optimal implant design and abutment type for each clinical situation
— Master the principles of working with angled screw channels and TOP abutments
— Learn to plan and fabricate provisional crowns that establish the proper emergence profile
— Be able to make an evidence-based choice between cement-retained and screw-retained restorations
— Gain a step-by-step protocol for achieving a predictable esthetic restoration from implant placement to final prosthetic rehabilitation.

This course is an opportunity to learn contemporary protocols for esthetic implant prosthodontics directly from one of the clinicians who has helped shape the modern approach to esthetic and restorative dentistry.
