Abstract
This continuing education course highlights how short implants can simplify treatment planning while expanding clinical possibilities. Drawing on more than 25 years of real-world experience, Dr. Speratti will demonstrate how short implants can be predictably used for single units, bridges, and full-arch restorations. In most cases, short implants allow clinicians to avoid sinus lift procedures altogether. When sinus augmentation is necessary, Dr. Speratti will show how short implants can make these augmentation procedures more efficient and manageable.
Although short implants are often viewed as a solution for cases with limited bone, this course reframes them as a versatile option that can be applied across a wide range of clinical situation. By offering simpler treatment plans with fewer surgical steps, clinicians can treat more patients, reduce chair time, and improve overall profitability.
During the live Q&A session, participants can engage directly with Dr. Speratti to clarify any questions or concerns they may have about the clinical benefits of using short implants, whether in a dental school or a private practice setting.
