This presentation will describe their experience in challenging cases as a team in a two-way communication. Clinicians and dental technicians have access to an astounding array of new technologies, tools and materials to design beautiful smiles.

This presentation puts an emphasis...

Intra-oral scanning devices have existed for nearly thirty years with a rapid increase in the number of commercial solutions. The major question remains – “are we there yet?” The technology brings many benefits, but there are also several technical and clinical limitations. This is...

For the partially edentulous patient to achieve complete prosthetic rehabilitation, the dental team needs to identify common challenges and goals to facilitate clinical workflows for the patient. Conventional and digital diagnostic procedures can demonstrate appropriate surgical...

Achieving anterior implant esthetics is a challenging procedure. Understanding the biological and physiological limitations of the soft and hard tissues will facilitate predictability in simple to complex esthetic situations. This presentation will reflect on the past and current,

Immediate implant placement and Function have become highly demanded treatment protocols, as they offer multiple advantages to both patients and practitioners. Amongst others, shorter time to teeth leads to higher levels of patient satisfaction, which can in turn drive more...

Placing implants immediately in fresh extraction sockets is a technically-sensitive procedure, which calls for careful consideration of several factors during diagnosis and treatment planning. One critically important factor for long-term soft tissue maintenance is the dental...

The provisional crown on an immediately placed implant represents a highly valuable tool when it comes to soft tissue management, reestablishment of function and communication in order to design the permanent crown. This becomes critically important in the case of anterior...

Immediate implant placement and Function represent valuable treatment protocols which can be applied in a broad range of indications. From patients missing a single tooth to soon-to-be-edentulous patients, everyone can benefit from the advantages of simultaneous extraction, implant...

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...

Each and every day patients present with teeth that are fractured and non-restorable, endodontic failures, non-restorable caries and periodontally hopeless teeth. Traditional treatment options, such as delayed protocols and site grafting, create great uncertainty and expense for...

Tissue volume is key to achieving natural and esthetic treatment outcomes at implant sites. An adequate management of the provisional and definitive restorations can influence soft tissue shape and volume and enhance final results.

This lecture will focus on design features of...

Replacing the hopeless prognosis molar with an implant is one of the most predictable treatment options in dentistry today. Nonetheless, there are several barriers to the acceptance of this treatment protocol, such as length of treatment and prolonged chair time. Placing and...

In addition to osseointegration, soft tissue integration is of paramount importance for the long-term success of dental implants. A lack of gingival sealing around an implant restoration can lead to biological complications, which can have critical effects in the case of implants...

Implants have become the preferred method for the replacement of missing teeth, due in no small part to the high success rate that accompanies this procedure. There are challenges, however, that can complicate or delay osseointegration. For example, the patient population seeking

Dr. Edmond Bedrossian’s lecture is focused on the biomechanics of both the prosthetic and surgical factors regarding the use of zygomatic implants.  Multiple studies are reviewed demonstrating the long term success of zygomatic implants.  Additional research is discussed that...
