ROSEMONT, Ill., Aug. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Dental implants offer patients a long-term solution to missing teeth, and new advances in implant materials and procedures are discovered every year.

The premier dental implant educational event in the United States, the annual conference presents the latest research in the field.

Topics will include cementless restorations, peri-implant disease and bioengineering.
• The preconference program will feature three hands-on sessions covering soft- and hard-tissue grafting and digital scanner use and sessions on augmenting the narrow ridge, preventing bone-grafting complications and managing soft- and hard-tissue defects.
