This course is designed to provide clinicians with the knowledge and confidence to effectively manage complications in implant dentistry. Through interactive discussions, in-depth case reviews, and exploration of treatment options, participants will develop critical problem-solving skills to address both common and complex implant-related challenges. The goal of this lecture is to understand the mechanics of these errors and to enable the clinician to formulate a more predictable treatment plan and to reduce the fear of possible complications.
