Implants of interesting designs; How do you choose the proper implant for your patients. 

Abstract:

Implant Dentistry started off with a limited number of implant designs and sizes. Over the years new designs and shapes have been introduced so that one need not make the patient fit the implant but one may use specific implant designs to fit the patient. One may use these novel designs to correct for difficulties in bone availability, spacing, angulation issues, occlusal clearance and screw retaining issues. This presentation will focus on the use of some of these specialized implants to correct for surgical and prosthetic difficulties.
