Our own Dr. Ernest Cholakis is honoured to be speaking at the 42nd International USC Periodontal & Implant Symposium at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, February 10–11, 2017.

Topic: The demographic rationale for treating the edentulous and failing dentate patient utilizing a novel, fixed-removable, implant-supported prosthesis.

A presentation highlighting the demographic rationale for treating edentulous and failing dentate patients. The edentulous population continues to grow domestically as well as globally. This market has been underserved for many years, and patients have had to adapt to ill-fitting dentures. Thanks to advances in technologies and techniques, dental professionals are now able to predictably increase function, form and esthetics. This presentation will introduce and compare an immediately-loaded, fixed-removable prosthesis with other implant-supported systems.

Presentation Objectives:

1. Understanding the demographic dynamics for treating the edentulous patient
2. Introducing Health Determinate Mapping and its benefits in studying edentulous markets
3. Identifying and comparing the unique value propositions of fixed-removable implant prosthesis systems with hybrid and fixed restorations utilizing patient-specific criteria
