Implant Planning using Bite Force with Dr. Costa Nicolopoulos

Dr. Costa Nicolopoulos walks through how bite force measurement should factor into implant treatment planning. He discusses how measuring a patient's occlusal force before treatment helps identify cases at higher risk of complications, and how that data informs decisions on implant loading, material selection, and case sequencing. Key topics include: *Why unmeasured bite force is a common, preventable factor in implant and prosthetic complications *How absolute bite force data (measured in newtons) supports risk assessment before implant placement, particularly for immediate-loading cases *How presenting bite force data to patients supports informed consent and treatment acceptance *Practical integration of bite force measurement into an existing implant consultation workflow Format: Free, on-demand webinar with a short quiz.
