Timing Strategies in Implantology

Precise timing in implant dentistry is critical to optimizing clinical outcomes, preserving tissue health, and enhancing patient satisfaction. Join us for this ITI Academy live webinar, “Timing Strategies in Implantology,” where leading experts will guide participants through the complex decision-making process behind what factors to consider before extractions, when to place implants, when to load, and how to align clinical protocols with biologic healing. This session will explore the four established implant placement protocols—from immediate to delayed—and examine how patient-specific risk factors, bone biology, and esthetic demands influence timing decisions. Attendees will gain clarity on current evidence supporting conventional vs. immediate loading, strategies for managing post-extraction sockets, and timing considerations in cases involving guided bone regeneration (GBR) or sinus augmentation.

The webinar will feature real-world case scenarios demonstrating how strategic timing can enhance soft tissue outcomes, shorten treatment durations, and reduce complications. Special emphasis will be placed on how to communicate timing plans to patients, manage expectations, and integrate timing protocols with digital workflows for optimal precision and efficiency.

Designed for clinicians seeking to sharpen their decision-making and elevate treatment predictability, this session blends scientific rigor with practical guidance and visual storytelling. Walk away with an enhanced understanding of how to apply biologically and technically sound timing strategies across a wide range of implant cases.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand biologic principles behind timing decisions in implantology
• Review clinical indications for immediate, early, and delayed protocols
• Explore strategies for managing extraction sites and GBR timing
• Learn to align patient needs, esthetics, and surgical goals
