NEW YORK, U.S.: Innovation and technology are moving at a rapid pace, with many of the developments influencing the role of implant therapy in the dental practice. In an upcoming free webinar on Wednesday, March 28, an expert will be focusing on the benefits of patient-specific abutments with an emphasis on cement-retained and screw-retained single-tooth and partially edentulous cases.

According to webinar host Dr. Alan Scott Douglas, the success of an implant treatment is defined by both function and esthetics. However, with more options available than ever before, selecting the correct one for a patient can be overwhelming. In the webinar, Douglas will be presenting the unique advancements in cement-retained and screw-retained restorations that provide enhanced efficiency to the existing workflow, as well as material selection guidelines for implant crowns and abutments.

Douglas graduated from the School of Dentistry at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, U.S., in 1989 and then went on to do a further one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency program there. He is currently the director of the AEGD residency program at the Audie L. Murphy Memorial Veterans Affairs Hospital, San Antonio, a position he has held for the past 27 years. Douglas has participated in numerous implant and dental materials studies, including research on an overdenture implant, a ceramic abutment, the 3 mm implant and a fixed-removable telescopic prosthesis. He has published many works on his dental materials research.

The 1-hour webinar, titled “Patient-specific implant restorations—Increasing esthetic success and digital workflow efficiency,” will be broadcast live on Wednesday, March 28, at 12 p.m. EST. Attendance is free of charge after easy registration on the website. Participants will be able to ask questions via a chat window and have the opportunity to earn a continuing education credit by completing a multiple-choice questionnaire on the topic.
