April General Membership Meeting - In Person

Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail: Before the Drill, Have a Plan! Prosthodontic Principles for Predictable Treatment Planning Marco Bergamini, DDS, MSD Successful restorative treatment begins with a comprehensive and well-structured treatment plan. This course presents a practical prosthodontic approach to diagnosis, risk assessment, and clinical decision-making before treatment begins. Through clinical examples, participants will review key factors influencing predictability, including restorability, periodontal support, occlusion, esthetics, biomechanics, implant considerations, and patient-specific risk factors. Emphasis will be placed on determining when teeth should be maintained, restored, replaced, or incorporated into comprehensive rehabilitation. Attendees will gain a systematic framework for sequencing treatment, anticipating complications, improving interdisciplinary communication, and selecting restorative strategies designed to enhance long-term function, esthetics, and clinical success. LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Identify key prosthodontic factors that influence diagnosis, restorability, prognosis and treatment planning • Implement a systematic framework to evaluate teeth, implants, occlusion, esthetics, biomechanics and patient-specific risk factors • Develop appropriately sequenced treatment plans that improve predictability, reduce complications and support long-term restorative success AGD Subject Code: 250 CE Hours: 2 technical and/or scientific Sponsored by: PDS Health https://www.pdshealth.com/ Cancellation Policy: The cancellation/refund deadline is April 13, 2027.
