Improving the Osseointegration of Dental Implants: Exploring Cellular Mechanisms Presenter: Zeeshan Sheikh, Dip.Dh, BDS, MSc, M.Perio -  Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, Canada Audience: All dental professionals Format: Lecture, held as Live Virtual, via Zoom.  Starts 11AM ET / 10AM CT / 8AM PT. CDE Credits: 2    Course Fee: $69 for all registrants Details and to register   Contact CDM CE Office for inquiries or assistance. Dental implant osseointegration is a cornerstone of modern dentistry, transforming tooth replacement and oral rehabilitation. Understanding the cellular mechanisms, timelines, and processes that govern successful osseointegration is essential for improving clinical outcomes. This lecture, presented by a Periodontal Clinician-Scientist, offers an in-depth exploration of these key aspects. Osseointegration involves a complex interplay between various cells, including osteoblasts, osteoclasts, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and immune cells. The lecture explains how these cellular components work together to support bone formation, remodeling, angiogenesis, and inflammation at the implant site. It also outlines the chronological stages of osseointegration, offering insights into both biological and mechanical factors at each phase.Furthermore, the lecture discusses variables that may affect the process, such as implant design, surface modifications, and patient-specific factors. Ultimately, this presentation provides a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms and timelines crucial to successful dental implantology. This knowledge enables dental professionals to optimize treatment planning, improve patient outcomes, and advance the field with innovations that promote long-term, seamless implant integration and the effective management of complications. ------------- Held in partnership with ACDE and 37 member dental schools as part of the 2025 Joint Provider Live Webinar Series.
