Cavallaro\, D.D.S.F ormer Clinical Professor\, Columbia University College of Dental MedicineS ynopsis:This presentation will examine six key protocols that represent bo th classical foundations and ongoing controversies in prosthetic and impla nt dentistry. Topics to be reviewed include: Implant-assisted removable ov erdenturesConnecting natural teeth to dental implantsUnilateral cantilever off of dental implantsExtracting teeth in the era of implant dentistryThe semi-precision removable partial dentureThe dental implant or the retaine d tooth Each topic will be approached from a practical\, evidence-based pe rspective emphasizing biomechanical principles\, material selection and tr eatment planning rationale. The goal is to integrate sound prosthodontic r easoning with contemporary implant concepts while maintaining respect for biological and functional limits. Through clinical case reviews\, literatu re summaries and procedural illustrations\, participants will review the f actors that guide restorative choice\, longevity and patient-centered outc omes. Emphasis will be placed on critical evaluation of conventional versu s implant-assisted options\, “optimal” versus alternate treatment plans an d decision-making in various restorative scenarios. Attendees will leave w ith a structured framework for analyzing diverse treatment possibilities a nd selecting approaches that achieve meaningful clinical outcomes with rea listic parameters of risk\, cost and patient preference. Upon successful c ompletion of this course\, attendees will be able to: Analyze the bio-mech anical and biological principles that influence treatment planning across classical and implant-based restorative options.Compare and contrast conve ntional\, semi-precision and implant-assisted prosthetic designs relative to longevity\, maintenance and patient satisfaction.Evaluate evidence supp orting various restorative connections—including tooth-to-implant and cant ilever configurations—within clinical and risk management frameworks. Form ulate patient-specific treatment plans that balance esthetics\, function\, cost and biologic preservation while pursuing “optimal” outcomes.Apply a structured\, evidence-based decision process when determining whether to r etain or extract teeth in prosthetic rehabilitation cases.Participants wil l also be able to critically evaluate available options and make treatment -planning decisions that integrate sound evidence\, clinical judgement and practical alternatives to achieve patient-centered outcomes.
