What can go wrong when restoring a full-arch with immediate provisionalization ? Dr Parrish gives insight in the most common complications and pitfalls and how they can be avoided. Often failures are due to human errror. Implant component failures are rare, provided premium quality...

A 56-year-old female patient was bothered by the darker shade of her right central incisor crown in comparison to the adjacent teeth. To fulfill the patient's need, a single-hand veneered zirconia crown was chosen as a treatment.

A 57-year-old female patient presented herself with a missing maxillary left central incisor and wanted a fixed replacement. A single implant and crown were used to replace the missing tooth with gingival-colored cervical porcelain to provide a more esthetic result.

A 47-year-old female patient referred by her periodontist who was not satisfied with her gingival health. Metal-ceramic crowns with ceramic margins on the natural teeth along with placement of a custom abutment and cementation of a metal-ceramic crown on the implant were chosen.

A 42-year-old male patient presented with a loose post and crown on the maxillary right central incisor. He wanted a better color and shape without dark gingiva.

A 39-year-old female patient presented with the extensive incisal wear of the maxillary incisors due to an occlusal habit that exposed large areas of dentin created some sensitivity and produced short teeth that the patient did not like.

A 91-year-old female patient was unable to wear her existing dentures. There was no residual ridge in the maxilla, only soft tissue. In the mandible, there was extensive resorption with the inferior alveolar canal close to/on the residual ridge. 

The lecture discusses the different reasons, why patients loose teeth and the various options for treatment with implant supported restorations. The aspects which need to be considered comprise the reason of tooth loss such as caries, perio disease or apical lesions, and prosthetic...

A 62-year-old female patient with two mandibular molars with gold inlays who had served well for 38 years. One crown was made using layered Zirconia and one using layered lithium disilicate copings.

A 57-year-old female patient presented with significant soft tissue defect requiring the use of pink porcelain for restoration.

A 73-year-old female patient presented with extensive bone loss around the posterior tooth abutment, requiring extraction. Two crowns were used to replace the missing teeth and they were splinted to control the leverage due to the distal location of the implant in the molar crown.

The lecture discusses the need for treatment and the treatment options in multiple posterior missing teeth cases, as well as the barriers to such treatments. Treatment of missing teeth is not necessary in all cases, as long as there is adaptive capacity to maintain oral function...

The lecture discusses the possibilities and advantages when using innovative digital concepts for diagnostics, treatment and surgery planning. At the beginning digital diagnostic tools helped to find available bone, today they assist in prosthetic and esthetic driven treatment...

The lecture presents esthetic reconstruction principles in the anterior maxilla and discusses the challenge to integrate white and pink esthetics - soft tissue and tooth restoration. Dr Coachman presents a clinical case with an implant based crown restoration on an upper central...

The lecture discusses parameters influencing the esthetic result of an implant based restoration from the perspective of the dental technician. Presenting clinical cases in the esthetic zone, Patrick Rutten gives insights in material selection highlighting the advantages of CAD/CAM...
