The lecture describes the treatment options in edentulous cases with a focus on the upper jaw and structures the concepts in anatomical situations with major bone loss, moderate bone loss and no/minimal bone loss. Highlighting with clinical examples for each of these situations Dr...

The lecture reviews the criteria for successful soft tissue management in the esthetic zone. Correct three-dimensional implant position around 3 mm apical and 2 mm palatal of the final desired gingival margin on the restoration support the buccal plate and adequate stable bone...

The lecture reviews decision criteria for material selection and design options in edentulous restorations. From a clinical and patient expectation standpoint, removable and fixed restorations provide comparable long-term outcome. Removable restorations can offer advantages, such...

The lecture gives insight in the decision criteria for prosthetic restoration planning in edentulous situations. Dr Glauser discusses extraoral examination parameters and the different levels of decision making such as evaluation of lip support, lip line and transition zone...

The lecture gives an overview about the treatment options for edentulous patients from both a surgical and restorative perspective, including aspects of severely resorbed arches. Careful evaluation of the remaining bone substance is essential. Dr Vrielinck reviews the surgical...

The lecture discusses parameters for esthetic reconstruction on multiple implants in the anterior maxilla. Presenting a clinical case with 6 anterior implants from canine to canine, Dr Fradeani gives insight in the parameters defining the esthetic result from both a soft tissue and...

The lecture gives insight in how we can deliver naturally looking restorations with highly predictable long-term soft tissue integration, in our daily practice. Preservation of bone crest and soft tissue are supported by a tight implant-abutment connection as a barrier against...

The lecture discusses the principles for tissue preservation in implant restoration and highlights their importance for the esthetic result. The goal is to create healthy and stable soft tissue framing around the implant and restoration. Dr Euwe presents single implant replacement...

The lecture reviews the treatment plan and workflow for fixed prosthetic restorations of edentulous arches. The diagnostic planning before the implant surgery can be tested e.g. with provisional diagnostic dentures. Highlighting with a patient case, Dr Euwe explains how a screw...

The lecture summarizes the development of implant-based treatment options for edentulous indications over time until the most up-to-date treatment techniques, like zygomatic implants, the All-on-4 technique, digital diagnostics and treatment planning and guided surgery procedures...

The lecture reviews the parameters for soft tissue management around implants. The implant insertion depth targets to place the implants in relationship to the future free gingival margin, influenced by the implant design such as connection type, platform shift and size discrepancy...

Incision can be made either on top of the crest or at some distance in the labial fold. The outcome for both approaches seems comparable. A sagittal release incision at the midline eases the reflection of the labial mucoperiosteum. It is logical to try to achieve...

The tradition to insert 6 implants, and eventually more, in an arch-wide pattern dates back to the early days of osseointegration when implants with a machined surface were used and risk for early...

Advantages of abutment-supported prostheses are 1) When implants are not parallel to each other, the use of angulated abutments can "correct" for the non-parallelism 2) Angulated abutments are available for a screw-retained prosthesis and 3) Custom abutments can be...

A 67-year-old male patient with the lateral incisor who had to be extracted due to a transverse fracture right below the crown. The patient opted for a delayed implant placement with immediate provisionalization.
