November General Membership Meeting - In Person

Join us as TDA President Dr. Georgeanne McCandless provides a brief update regarding the recent news, actions and changes at the Texas Dental Association.

Today most would agree that the etiology of dental implant failure is related to oral biofilm. At present, one group of scientists and clinicians feel that these bacteria are solely responsible for bone loss around the devices. However, there is strong evidence that particles and ions of titanium released into the surrounding tissues, a process termed Metallosis, can be responsible for bone loss around some dental implants. These findings are reinforced by similar responses found around failed metal on metal hip prosthesis. How to prevent Metallosis and deal with it, it it occurs, will be the topic of this presentation.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Understand Metallosis and its relation to inflammation around dental implants
• Learn how to reduce the probability of Metallosis occuring
• Discover how to treat an implant that has suffered from Metallosis
