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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Based on extensive literature review and clinical resarch at the Gothenburg Brånemark clinic over 3 decades, Dr Friberg is reviewing causes for bone loss in implant treatment, in single, partial and edentulous situations, and discussing the influence of traumatized and ankylotic...

Less than 4-6 mm of vertical residual bone height in the posterior segment of the maxilla is an indication for a sinus augmentation procedure [Esposito]. The external access to the maxillary sinus is carried out at a lateral buccal alveolar...

Dr Watzek compares implant treatment with and without sinus lift augmentation procedures from the aspects: relative and absolute contra-indications, intra-operative risks, treatment time frame, success rate and cost. As a general rule, the smaller the surgical intervention, the...

In the edentulous upper jaw implant insertion can be limited due to the adjacent anatomical structures (nasal floor, maxillary sinus). Less than 5-6 mm in height and 6 mm in width requires augmentation before implant placement....

The lecture presents an overview over the management of the edentulous arch focusing on minimally invasive options, like selection of narrow, short and zygomatic implants, the tilted placement of implants and the All-on-4 technique, and comparing these solutions with grafting...
