Clinical Use of 3.0mm One Piece Implants
There are many clinical situations that lend themselves to placement of a narrow diameter implant of less than 3.5mm. This presentation will review the literature on the efficacy of narrow diameter implants and focus on their clinical use. Many cases will be shown that illustrate the classical and not so classical clinical implementation of this implant design.

Simplified One Piece Implant Prosthetics
One piece implants present a different set of challenges from a restorative end, especially for a narrow diameter one piece implant. Management of patient force factors during initial healing is most certainly a key for long-term success. Different provisionalization techniques will be presented, along with a simplified indirect restorative protocol for predictable one-piece implant prosthetics.
