Dr Costa Nicolopoulos Speaking at ADI Focus Meeting 2018

This year’s ADI Focus Meeting will be held on Saturday 17 November at the ICC in Birmingham, entitled “Innovations in Dental Implantology”.

Maxillofacial and Oral Surgeon Dr Costa Nicolopoulos will be among the outstanding speaker line-up, presenting a session on “Immediate Loading with Permanent Restorations Within 7 Days – Fact or Myth?”.

“Successful treatment using immediate loading protocols affords many benefits for the clinician and the patient,” he says. “However, there are several challenges to face when immediately loading dental implants with the permanent restorations.

These include achieving good primary stability and maintaining soft and hard tissue stability in the long-term. My lecture will discuss different methods that can be used to overcome both these potential problems.

I’ll also consider possible management techniques for when soft tissue changes do occur”.

“I believe this ADI Focus Meeting will be a great platform for highly experienced presenters to share clinically relevant implant dentistry innovations with delegates.”

“I encourage dental implant colleagues to attend so that they can gain useful, take-home information to apply to their protocols in practice and optimise dental implant treatment for their patients”.
