Synopsis 
 
How to maintain a high success rate in implant-supported rehabilitations on the long term outcome: The science, materials, methods and protocols.
 
The constant evolution in Implant Dentistry with new materials, techniques and methods, along with a higher quality and expectancy of life of the rehabilitated patients, demands a continuing update and education by the clinicians in order to satisfactorily address the challenges that an implant-supported rehabilitation might present.
 
Based on the assumption that no implant-supported rehabilitation can survive without maintenance, and that the maintenance phase is as important as the surgical phase, it became necessary to implement a set of clinical guidelines, with epidemiological and technical engagement, in order to maximize the probability of success of the rehabilitation not only during the Osseo integration phase but also in long-term maintenance. In this regard, the involvement of the clinician is of crucial importance to achieve success.
 
A set of seven lectures, the main goal of this course is to provide participants with a comprehensive theoretical training within the maintenance of implant-supported rehabilitations, with a strong focus on the clinical appointment and the best interest of both patient and clinician.
