A valuable reference for everyone involved in implant placement or implant restoration. 18 chapters from diagnosis to oral hygiene maintenance, 950+ photographs, over 40 videos, end of chapter self-assessment quizzes and 1,000+ scientific and literature references.

Dr. Albrektsson reviews the success and failure of oral implants related to patient influences, surgical techniques, implant designs and the locations of implant placement. The literature behind the success of the Ti-Unite surface oral implants is reviewed demonstrating the long...

The use of NobelClincian digital diagnostics enables planning full arch dental implant treatments, such as the All-on-4® treatment concept, by beginning with the final prosthetic outcome in mind. This digital precision can reduce risk and improve predictability by allowing the clin...

Dr Peng covers aspects of patient communication and patient acceptance for the implant-based rehabilitation of edentulous patients. A key point is to make the treatment and treatment plan easy to understand for the patient. Removing rather than saving questionnable teeth, limiting...

A team approach and cooperation between the treatment team is key for treatment success, and lack of collaboration is a potential recipe for complications. Patients have increasing demands and expectations, become more and more informed, and have access to informations to detect co

Based on a systematic review, supported by the Cochrane library issue 3 2013, the lecture discusses if predictable success rates with immediately loaded implants can be achieved. Dr Esposito compares immediate, early and conventional loading, occlusal vs non-occlusal loading and...

The lecture gives insight in decision guidelines, indications, contraindications as well as complications and potential failures for immediate function protocols in edentulous patients. Dr Glauser presents the 'patient journey' from pre-treatment evaluation, planning with digital...

The lecture highlights the importance of the restorative space to meet the requirements for esthetics, mechanics and biomechanical integrity. Dr Jivraj reviews the restorative considerations playing a role like tooth position, vertical restorative space, restoration contour and...

The lecture summarizes planning, decision and design criteria for the prosthetic restoration. Dr Mun Wong reviews treatment options, selection of size and diameter of implants, number and distribution of implants, restoration design, and discusses aspects like splinting and force...

The lecture reviews and compares a data pool with almost 40.000 implants placed in an over 20 year time period. Dr Laureen Langer concludes that there are high and equivalent survival rates and no statistical differences between immediate and delayed placement, and that the...

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 different loading concepts from a historical perspective till today and compares the clinical outcomes of delayed, early and immediate loading. Historically there was a tendency to rather seat too many implants to support immediate loading, which from nowada

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 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...

Whenever possible, provisional restorations should be fabricated to simulate the desired definitive prosthesis in form, albeit with different and less durable materials. The lessened durability and functional capacity of a provisional restoration...
