Morning session: Occlusion in implant prosthodontics and complication management
During the morning session, Dr. Hamilton will present the lecture:
“Occlusion in Implant Prosthodontics: Is it truly complicated or simply a source of complications?”
The lecture will review scientific evidence regarding implant complications and discuss evidence-based occlusal approaches aimed at minimising prosthetic complications in implant treatment.
Participants will gain valuable insights into:
Physiological differences when implants are introduced into the stomatognathic system
Clear occlusal guidelines to minimise implant prosthetic complications
This topic addresses one of the key foundational factors influencing the long-term success and stability of implant restorations.
Afternoon session: Mastering implant esthetics in modern dentistry
In the afternoon session, Dr. Hamilton will continue with the lecture:
“Mastering Implant Esthetics: Guidelines for Esthetic Diagnosis and Treatment Planning”
The lecture will focus on esthetic principles in implant dentistry, including esthetic risk assessment, patient classification, and treatment planning for single and multiple missing teeth in the esthetic zone.
Key learning objectives include:
Comprehensive esthetic analysis before treatment
Identification of critical esthetic parameters
Recognition of advanced and complex treatment cases
Determining optimal three-dimensional implant positioning for esthetic and functional outcomes
The session promises valuable clinical insights to help clinicians improve predictability and optimise esthetic implant outcomes.
An opportunity to elevate modern implant treatment thinking
The APDC – HAIDEC 2026 pre-congress program offers clinicians the opportunity to strengthen academic connections, explore modern implant concepts, and update evidence-based treatment approaches from internationally recognised experts.
Beyond academic value, the program is highly practice-oriented, helping clinicians optimise treatment outcomes and minimise complications in everyday implant dentistry.
