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

The lecture reviews the principles of the rehabilitation of the extremely resorbed maxilla and compares Zygomatic implants with sinus lift and augmentation procedures, and highlights the importance of the Zygomatic concept for implantology. Under extreme clinical circumstances like...

Dr Stumpel presents three cases with edentulous and partially edentulous situations and gives insight in surprising tips and tricks how to improve precision of the guided surgery protocol and at the same time facilitate some of the intra- and extra-oral workflow steps and...

Modern digital technologies allow to efficiently connect the clinical treatment team, surgeons, restorative dentists, radiologists, dental technician and dental staff, in order to develop and align medical imaging and treatment planning. The lecture leads through a journey of the...

The digital workflow offers considerable new treatment options and opportunities for high precision restorations, yet requires to follow a strict protocol and some challenges like the correct visualization of soft tissue configuration remain. To overcome this, combination of CBCT...

3D planning approach is critical for using available bone. Within the current digital workflow for guided surgery the planned prosthesis is translated into a radiographic guide. Dr Dawood raises the question how precise the guided surgery approach can be within this workflow, and...

Patients request not only functional restorations, but also esthetic rehabilitation, improvement of appearance, smile and self-esteem. To support this objective, modern digital planning systems combine guided surgery assistance with appropriate and comprehensive diagnostic and...

The lecture reviews the challenges in relation to restoring multiple missing anterior teeth with implants. The goal is to achieve harmony and continuity of soft tissues in visible areas defined by perceived symmetry. Problems are related with change in underlying anatomy upon...

Pink esthetics evolved since 1997 and is now standard of care through planned esthetic implant position and bone and soft tissue augmentation techniques. Dr Jovanovic reviews the parameters to achieve esthetic treatments in the esthetic zone and discusses aspects of the bony...

Treatment with multiple adjacent implants shows considerably more complexity in comparison to restoring with a single implant, especially in the esthetic zone. The lecture discusses the clinical scenarios which are important for treatment planning: healed vs extraction site...

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...

Dr Bedrossian presents a patient case with the clinical findings: loss of posterior support, primary periodontal disease, secondary occlusal trauma, CR MI (centric relation to maximum intercuspation) slide of 2 mm, tardive dyskinesia, labial incompetence, and discusses his...

Patrick Rutten reviews the laboratory part within the digital workflow and the opportunities with CAD/CAM procedures being an excellent alternative to casting technique. CAD/CAM technology provides excellent and predictable precision, passive fit, significant labor and time savings...

The All-on-4® treatment concept can be combined with a guided surgical protocol. Looking back on experiences with these techniques since 2005, Dr Lopes reviews the advantages of these protocols for patient and surgeon, such as comfort, reduced surgery time and increased...

The lecture discusses a patient case with multiple missing teeth in maxilla and mandible. Video part one presents the patient situation and reviews the digital and conventional diagnostic and treatment planning tools. Video part two presents the chosen treatment and gives insight...
