Dental Hands-On Session Spring 2008

Dental Specialty Group hosted a hands-on course for its referring dentists during its Spring Impressions event in 2008.

Purpose: To transfer information about one or more dental implants to a working laboratory model.

Implant level impressions
Closed tray impression

• For routine single tooth and short span bridge treatment, you will be able to use a closed tray approach.

Key points

• Radiograph if not sure impression coping fully seated.
• Place impression coping immediately upon removal of healing abutment to prevent tissue collapse.
• For multiple units, remove one healing abutment at a time and immediately place each impression coping.
• Replace healing abutments immediately upon removal of each impression coping.

Before the hands-on course for dentists, all the guests at the Spring Impressions event learned about what DSG is doing for their patients, referring dentists, and the Nashville area and globally.
