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.
Sinus grafting is recognized as an effective treatment modality with high implant survival rates having been reported. The lateral approach technique entails opening a lateral window in the bone and elevating the sinus membrane from the inferior aspect of the maxillary si
Sinus graft surgery can be performed as either a one-stage or a two-stage approach.
The decisive factor in choosing a simultaneous approach (one-stage surgery) over a delayed approach (two-stage surgery) typically is based on two factors: 1.) the amount of remaining alveola
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
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...
Patrick Palacci: Scientific support and protocol in the posterior region
In this presentation different ways to treat severe cases will be presented. The presentation will focus on the rationale and long term results for sinus elevation and implant placement in the extremely resorbed maxillae.
Carole Leconte: Guided bone regeneration principles and treatment strategies to create a successful long-term implant-host interface
Guided bone regeneration as a concept and in practice has been prevalent for many years and has yielded scientific evidence useful to assist the clinician in choosing the right technique for the right clinical situation. In this presentation, basic principles of guided bone...
Julie Hemar: Osseointegration every day - avoiding and overcoming complications
The development of the concepts and practice of osseointegration has created a quiet revolution in dentistry with favorable practical results. Concepts of osseointegration as they were defined by P.I. Brånemark evolve through major changes regarding the material, design, and...
Barry Wagenberg: Building a sense of efficacy. Perspective from private practice.
Immediate implant placement allows for a reduced number of surgical visits, less time to final restorations, decreased cost for patients, and high implant survival rates and bone maintenance, all of which are objectives of patients and clinicians alike. These treatment protocols...
Bertil Friberg: Refinements in treatment protocols to improve patient benefits - go original
In Dr. Bertil Friberg’s presentation, he discusses ways in which treatment protocols can be improved to the benefit of the patient. Dr. Friberg focuses on developments in the field of implant dentistry. One advancement is implant surface modification; he discusses its impact on...
Stefan Lundgren: Complications in bone augmentation
Among the various possible complication areas in implant and augmentation surgery, this lecture focuses on complications with wound dehiscence and graft exposures, donor sites, sinus infections and misplaced implants and covers the causes of these complications, options for their...
Bertil Friberg: Achieving surgical success for compromised bone - graft or not graft
Implant treatment in compromised bone situations can be managed with different techniques, with and without grafting protocols. Supported by broad literature and meta-analysis data, Dr Friberg reviews experiences with grafting and implants in the field of grafting procedures since...
Georg Watzek: Molar implants as simple as possible, as effective as necessary
The lecture focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of placing single implants in the posterior region at the time of tooth extraction, with emphasis on treatment and protocol decision and techniques to minimize number of treatment sessions. Review of scientific data for these...
