ITI Evening Seminar Melbourne: The Immediacy Debate with Dr. Adam Rosenberg

Overview:

This lecture explores the evolving paradigm of immediacy in implant dentistry, critically examining whether immediate implant placement and loading offers superior outcomes compared to delayed protocols. While the promise of faster treatment timelines appeals to both clinicians and patients, the question remains: does speed compromise long-term success?

Learning Objectives:

• The biological principles underpinning immediate and delayed implant strategies.

• Comparative outcomes in terms of osseointegration, aesthetics, and patient satisfaction.

• Risk factors, case selection, and when immediacy may be contraindicated.

• Innovations in materials and techniques that enhance the predictability of immediate implants.

This lecture aims to provide participants with the insights needed to navigate the balance between speed and success, ensuring optimal results tailored to individual patient needs.
