The atrophic maxilla presents a significant challenge to the surgical and restorative team. Patients seek a long- term solution in the restoration of function, esthetics, and ultimately their quality of life. Prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with severe maxillary bone...

Highlighting with several patient cases and clinical videos, and underlining with literature data, Dr Pozzi explains the workflow principles and advantages when using guided surgery protocols and provides tips and tricks for optimizing soft tissue management and esthetic outcome...

The peri-implant mucosa consists of an externally located keratinized oral epithelium, which is connected to the peri-implant junctional epithelium facing the abutment. The latter extends approximately 2 mm apical to the...

The All-on-4® treatment concept is a proven treatment protocol that provides optimal support for an implant bridge with 4 implants even with minimum available bone volume. The lecture discusses the All-on-4® treatment concept under the failing dentition point of view and reviews...

A 29-year-old male patient presented himself after a traumatic injury with nonspecific pain in the maxillary front area. Tooth #11 FDI (#8 US) showed only little discomforting response to percussion. the patient opted for an implant-based prosthodontic restoration.

The presentation reviews the measures and options for treatment of peri-implantitis. Dr Rosen discusses that the etiologies to periodontitis and peri-implantitis share a number of common analogies, and advocates comparable treatment approaches. The initiator isn't always plaque...

Bone volume is the site specific determining factor in deciding on the placement of implants. The volume must be sufficient for the implant replacing the original tooth. Tooth loss and subsequent bone changes may result in inadequate bone volume for placing implants. Objectives for...

In this lecture Dr Bahat discusses facial esthetics, craniofacial ageing, its influence on implant placement and how these parameters interact. Craniofacial changes continue throughout adult life, and vary between genders, and individually between patients. Dr Bahat is reviewing...

Dr Kan leads through a journey on immediate implant placement from both a surgical and prosthetic point of view, discussing aspects of soft and hard tissue condition, interaction of implant size, diameter, position and socket form, influences of crestal bone condition and biologic...

Based on the tissue engineering principle, that bone cannot only regenerate, but can take a shape and size greater than the epigenetic milieu, the lecture reviews various surgical options to increase the ridge volume with a focus on alveolar split techniques and BMP-2/ACS...

A 62-year-old male patient with a long history of periodontitis which resulted in extensive gingival recessions compromising the aesthetics. The treatment plan involved a combination of implant-and tooth-supported restorations.

The lecture gives insight in principles and protocols for the three-dimensional reconstruction of the maxillary ridge and its relationship to intra- and extra-oral esthetics. Dr Bahat reviews aspects of intra- and extra-oral objectives, guidelines for surgical planning, soft tissue...

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...

Supported by several patient treatment examples, the lecture gives insight in how to handle cases with reduced or diseased periodontium in the esthetic zone. Dr Tabanella reviews biological principles for soft tissue management, flap techniques, soft and hard tissue grafting...

To obtain an esthetic result, the objective is to achieve harmony between pink and white tissues. usually this is an issue and in periodontally compromised it is likely to be an even bigger challenge. Dr Ricci gives insight in the surgical and prosthetic treatment steps, procedures...
