Immediate Implants Episode 5: Challenges in the Maxilla and Mandible
Examine the challenges of the posterior maxilla and infected sites in the posterior mandible. Dr. Gabor Tepper, moderator Joe Kan and the expert panel discuss IIPP feasibility in these indications. Learn how to get started with immediate implants.
Immediate implants Episode 4: Influence of the emergence profile on success
Move from the infra-crestal to the supra-crestal component of the IIPP treatment with Dr. Oscar Gonzalez-Martin, moderator Joe Kan and the expert panel. Learn how to address the emergence profile whether provisionalizing at immediate implant placement or after the tissues mature.
Ceramic implant experts, Markus Blatz, Jens Tartsch and Michael Gahlert discuss the modernization of materials and implant design transforming the reliability of zirconia implants for an established treatment option of today.

Guided Bone Regeneration next to mucogingival deformities: a minimally invasive surgical approach.
A 55-year-old female patient with missing maxillary premolars, class IV recession on the adjacent tooth, pneumatized sinus. She was treated with simultaneous sinus elevation, implant placement, guided bone regeneration, and soft tissue grafting.
Peter Wöhrle: Improving clinical outcomes with integrated digital advances of shorter time to teeth
Dr. Wöhrle discusses how to use digital workflows in your implant practice, utilizing data acquisition by means of CBCT and surface scanning to create predictable implant treatment. He uses clinical examples to demonstrate how to use digital tools for treatment planning and using s
Multiple implant placement followed by orthodontic treatment to intrude the over-erupted teeth
A 33-year-old female patient came to the clinic with the desire to replace her missing teeth. The opposing teeth had moved into the gaps. The implants were placed by using a surgical guide. After completion of the orthodontic treatment, the final restorations were fabricated.
Immediate implant placement to replace deciduous teeth followed by orthodontic treatment.
A 26-year-old female patient wanted to have her teeth straightened. This clinical case describes the extractions of the lower deciduous second molars, followed by immediate implant placement. After the completion of the orthodontic treatment the final restorations were placed.
Jaime Lozada - One-stage sinus elevation with lateral approach
Sinus graft surgery can be performed as either a one-stage or a two-stage approach.
With the single-stage surgery, the bone grafting and implant placement are performed in one surgery with the graft placed first, followed by implant placement. In the case of a two-stage surge
Horizontal and vertical ridge augmentation of a knife-edge ridge
A 54-year-old man presented with missing right lower teeth and ridge deficiency. Horizontal and vertical augmentation by GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration) was carried out using the “Tenting Screw Technique”. Two implants and a free gingival graft were placed.
The fourth dimension of surgical reconstruction with implants involves development of an adjusted surgical protocol, which is time dependent and accounts for normal physiological changes of the skull and face. Previous treatment in 3-D did not address the possibilities of these dyn...
France Lambert & Eric Rompen: Proper soft tissue handling to improve the outcome of implant restorations
Unstable soft tissue seal at implants favors an inflammatory reaction that can lead to facial recession, pocket formation and loss of bone support. The more stable and tight the soft tissue seal, the more predictable the outcome of implant rehabilitation. A major criterion influenc
Giovanni Cricchio: Graftless sinus elevation, concept (r)evolution
Rehabilitation with implants in the posterior maxilla is challenging due to the rapid reduction of the available bone which is the result of physiological resorption of the alveolar process together with increased pneumatisation of the maxillary sinus. Augmentation of the sinus...
Maxim Kopylov: Immediate vs delayed protocols. A decision tree.
Today, the time factor plays an increasingly important role in a patient’s treatment decisions and effective solutions are expected from the dentist. This raises issues when deciding on immediate or delayed implant placement even in the posterior zone. Several factors need to be...
