Biography
Biography: Dr. Ricardo A Boyce
Abstract
The success of dental implants has improved over the years. After 1986, a revised criterion was used for evaluating the success of dental implants. Since then literature (from PubMed) and specifically, systematic reviews are implementing new parameters to evaluate dental implant success. A notable addition is the patient satisfaction with the dental implant(s). A patient’s ability to bite, chew foods, is basic necessity and quality of life that should never be overlooked by any health professional. This presentation will take a closer look at four concepts of dental implant success. This presentation will also explore areas to prevent failures at the time of treatment planning.
