    Session 3


    Is Digital Technology Essential for Single Tooth Implant Success?


    Wednesday, May 27, 2026: 6:30 - 8:30 pm

    Live Zoom Webinar - 2 CE Hours


    Over a 20 year period, we have defined some of the biologic parameters affecting single tooth implant success. During this time, digital technology has evolved to guide clinical therapies.

    This course will address what is known regarding many factors influencing single tooth implant success and connect these with how we deploy digital technology for single tooth implant therapy. The discussion will include a) understanding the value of digital technology as a communication tool, b) defining the limitations of digital technology in treatment planning for single tooth implants, c) when and if guided surgery is needed for single tooth implant success, and d) how digital technology workflows can be used in the restoration of a single tooth implant. While digital technology is both fascinating and offers many advantages in practice, it is how we leverage this technology to achieve the goals of therapy that determine success. This is how clinicians gain the greatest return on investment when using digital technology in dental implant therapy.
