David Nisand: Short implants for limited bone volume

The rehabilitation of the resorbed jaw remains a surgical and prosthetic challenge. This may involve the modification of the bone to allow for placement of dental implants, or alternatively the use of short implants. EAO consensus defines short implants as implants with an intrabon

James Chow: Implant placement using the flapless surgical approach

Dental implants can be placed with flap or with a flapless procedure. Supported by clinical examples and systematic literature review and analysis, Dr Chow gives insight in flapless procedures, their benefits and how to overcome challenges. Flapless surgery is effective in both...

Patrick Palacci: Why use narrow implants ?

Replacement of missing lateral incisors is a routine indication for narrow implants. Dr Palacci suggests and discusses much broader use of narrow implants, e.g. in cases with narrow ridges, limited amount of bone or concavities. Use of narrow implants is a low invasive treatment...

Marco Esposito: Light activated disinfection in the case of peri-implantitis

Treatment objective of a chronic disinfection is to reduce bacterial load under a critical threshold. In the case of peri-implant infections the measures to reduce bacterial contamination can comprise e.g. surgical or non-surgical debridement and implant surface decontamination...

Massimo Simion: Long-term stability of regenerated bone around dental implants

Bone regeneration techniques have evolved over time. An initial development period in the late 1980 and early 1990 years, when basic techniques and principles had been established, was followed after 1996 by a consolidation period where efficacy of the applied techniques and...

David Chvartszaid: Distinction between normality and pathology of marginal bone around oral implants

Distinguishing normal and abnormal marginal bone behaviour around osseointegrated implants is a complex and controversial topic. Dr Chvartszaid reviews why this distinction is difficult, and discusses topics such as the existence of multiple proposed etiologies, deficiencies in...

Terry Walton: Herodontics - can it be justified in this age of implant dentistry

The lecture raises the discussion about overtreatment of natural teeth or alternatively also with implants. Dr Walton introduces his thoughts as a 'tale of caution'. Is ongoing treatment of severely structurally or periodontally compromised teeth - 'herodontics' - still justified...

Steven Eckert: Decision making on residual "healthy" teeth

Tooth loss is an important change in a patient's life. The decision to remove healthy or restorable teeth within a comprehensive treatment therefore requires a strategic approach and evaluation within the guidelines of medical/ dental ethics. Implant treatment is certainly a game...

Oded Bahat: Surgical and esthetic treatment in three dimensions

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...

Videos

Marco Esposito: immediate vs conventional loading: the scientific evidence

Based on a systematic review, supported by the Cochrane library issue 3 2013, the lecture discusses if predictable success rates with immediately loaded implants can be achieved. Dr Esposito compares immediate, early and conventional loading, occlusal vs non-occlusal loading and...

Roland Glauser: Immediate function: indications, contraindications, complications - in partially edentulous patients

The lecture gives insight in decision guidelines, indications, contraindications as well as complications and potential failures for immediate function protocols in edentulous patients. Dr Glauser presents the 'patient journey' from pre-treatment evaluation, planning with digital...

Alessandro Pozzi: Modern 3D treatment plan - from the virtual to the reality

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...

Videos

Saj Jivraj: Restorative considerations for the immediate loaded transitional prosthesis

The lecture highlights the importance of the restorative space to meet the requirements for esthetics, mechanics and biomechanical integrity. Dr Jivraj reviews the restorative considerations playing a role like tooth position, vertical restorative space, restoration contour and...

Kenji Higuchi: Applying effective interviewing skills to uncover patient expectations

There is only one chance to make first good impression. The first patient consultation therefore plays an important role in order to adequately perform the initial patient interview, medical examination, the diagnostic evaluation and discuss logistic information such treatment plan...

Peter Woehrle: Multiple adjacent implants in the esthetic zone. Rationale, planning and execution

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...
