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...

Pink esthetics evolved since 1997 and is now standard of care through planned esthetic implant position and bone and soft tissue augmentation techniques. Dr Jovanovic reviews the parameters to achieve esthetic treatments in the esthetic zone and discusses aspects of the bony...

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...

There is not one material suitable for all patients and the availability of new materials and techniques requires smart decision making to achieve the objective of a prosthetic restoration: to mimic nature as close as possible. Treatment planning therefore is key. Dr Blatz gives...

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...

Treatment with multiple adjacent implants shows considerably more complexity in comparison to restoring with a single implant, especially in the esthetic zone. The lecture discusses the clinical scenarios which are important for treatment planning: healed vs extraction site...

The lecture summarizes planning, decision and design criteria for the prosthetic restoration. Dr Mun Wong reviews treatment options, selection of size and diameter of implants, number and distribution of implants, restoration design, and discusses aspects like splinting and force...

The lecture reviews and compares a data pool with almost 40.000 implants placed in an over 20 year time period. Dr Laureen Langer concludes that there are high and equivalent survival rates and no statistical differences between immediate and delayed placement, and that the...

The presentation gives an in insight in 'corrective implant supported therapy on patients with downhill dentition with malocclusion' and how to reposition bone, gums and teeth. Dr Euwe reviews the treatment goals: enhance esthetics, establish class 1 occlusion, align and level arch

It is crucial the clinician has a fully versed understanding in the anatomy of the surgery site and in many instances this information is gained through imaging technologies. Dr Lam reviews the anatomical considerations and characteristics in the oral and maxilla-facial region...

The presentation gives an insight on the restoration of edentulous situations from both surgical and restorative aspects, with focus on the immediate function protocol and the All-on-4 solution. Dr Malo reviews the indications and contraindications, advantages and benefits as well...

The lecture summarizes the development of implant-based treatment options for edentulous indications over time until the most up-to-date treatment techniques, like zygomatic implants, the All-on-4 technique, digital diagnostics and treatment planning and guided surgery procedures...

Dr Bedrossian presents a patient case with the clinical findings: loss of posterior support, primary periodontal disease, secondary occlusal trauma, CR MI (centric relation to maximum intercuspation) slide of 2 mm, tardive dyskinesia, labial incompetence, and discusses his...

The tradition to insert 6 implants, and eventually more, in an arch-wide pattern dates back to the early days of osseointegration when implants with a machined surface were used and risk for early...

Traditional endosseous oral implant treatment protocols ad modum Brånemark required a variable healing period (usually 3-6 months) before prosthesis placement. The healing period was considered necessary to achieve osseointegration and establish a load-bearing interface...
