Predictability of ceramic dental implants

More and more patients are asking for metal free dental implants and restorations, yet many practitioners do not offer this option. Due to the difference in the ceramic properties as compared to titanium, handling of these implants during placement and restoration requires a different technique than titanium. ISQ values can be used predictably on ceramic implants to determine stability. This webinar is designed for practitioners who want to understand when to recommend, how to use, avoid complications and maintain the ceramic implants.
