Synopsis

The constant evolution in Implant Dentistry with new materials, techniques and methods, along with a higher quality and expectancy of life of the rehabilitated patients, demands a continuing update and education by the clinicians in order to satisfactorily address the challenges that an implant-supported rehabilitation might present.

Based on the assumption that no implant-supported rehabilitation can survive without maintenance, and that the maintenance phase is as important as the surgical phase, it became necessary to implement a set of clinical guidelines, with epidemiological and technical engagement, in order to maximize the probability of success of the rehabilitation not only during the osseointegration phase but also in long-term maintenance. In this regard, the involvement of the clinician is of crucial importance to achieve success.

The main goal of this course is to provide participants with a comprehensive theoretical and hands-on training within the maintenance of implant-supported rehabilitations, with a strong focus on the clinical appointment and the best interest of both patient and clinician. To achieve this goal, the training considers an important and significant practical component with a meticulous clinical practice approach, integrating tips to enhance a better performance, along with the integration of epidemiological tools to support the clinical decision process.

Dr. Miguel de Araújo Nobre

Graduated as a Dental Hygienist from the Faculty of Dental Medicine, University of Lisbon in 1998 and joined the MALO CLINIC team in 1999. Currently is the Director of the Research, Development and Education Department and Oral Hygiene Department. Practicing extensively as a clinician-researcher over 20 years and as one of the original authors of the All-on-4® concept studies, Miguel de Araújo Nobre has an extensive knowledge in the field of Implant Dentistry. He has special interest in the maintenance of implant-supported rehabilitations and incorporation of epidemiological models to oral diseases, with a highlight on peri-implant disease where he developed the first ever risk score scientifically validated. As one of MALO CLINIC’s key speakers, he lectures regularly in national and international courses and congresses. He is a Master of Science in Epidemiology since 2011 and a PhD in Epidemiology since 2019, both from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon (Portugal), where he is currently a visiting Professor in the Oral Pathology and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Discipline. He is author and co-author of more than 100 scientific manuscripts in peer-reviewed Journals, 6 book chapters and one patent.
