Management of an iatrogenic case following traumatic tooth extraction, bone graft and implant failure
A 30-year-old female patient who lost tooth #13 FDI (#6 US). She reported the traumatic extraction of the canine, which resulted in a significant vertical bone loss of 3 mm and an advanced horizontal lingual defect.
Guided Bone Regeneration next to mucogingival deformities: a minimally invasive surgical approach.
A 55-year-old female patient with missing maxillary premolars, class IV recession on the adjacent tooth, pneumatized sinus. She was treated with simultaneous sinus elevation, implant placement, guided bone regeneration, and soft tissue grafting.
Tomas Albrektsson: Success and failures of oral implants - what has been learned?
Dr. Albrektsson reviews the success and failure of oral implants related to patient influences, surgical techniques, implant designs and the locations of implant placement. The literature behind the success of the Ti-Unite surface oral implants is reviewed demonstrating the long...
Paulo Malo: Evolution of the All-on-4® treatment concept with implant design
Dr. Malo discusses the evolution of the All-on-4® treatment concept as it has been the primary focus of his career. He explains the reasons for its development and how his vision of implant dentistry has shifted from large grafting solutions to the placement of implants where bone
Screw retained fixed partial restorations over implants in a young patient diagnosed with Ectodermal Dysplasia.
A 18-year-old female patient diagnosed with Ectodermal Dysplasia at a young age. Presented aplasias in upper and lower jaw, primary teeth persisting, low smile line, deep bite. The treatment involved implant placement, angulated and straight Multi-Unit Abutments.
Multidisciplinary treatment of congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors.
A 19-year-old female patient with multiple aplasias, substantial vertical overlap (overbite), and a medium-to-high smile line. She received Nobel Active 3.5 (13 mm) implants and simultaneous bone augmentation with a bone substitute on her lateral incisors.
Immediate Implant Placement and Provisionalization of the central incisors
A 26-year-old female patient is treated following the "MeteenDoor"- protocol. This Dutch protocol includes the placement of a bone substitute simultaneously with Immediate Implant Placement and Provisionalization (IIPP) reducing the horizontal buccal bone changes.
A 32-year-old patient with missing central and lateral incisor presented significant loss of hard and soft tissues, and the midline deviated to the left. A Porcelain-fused-to-metal crown over implant with a GBR and a collagen membrane on #21 FDI (#9 US) was chosen.
Multiple implant placement followed by orthodontic treatment to intrude the over-erupted teeth
A 33-year-old female patient came to the clinic with the desire to replace her missing teeth. The opposing teeth had moved into the gaps. The implants were placed by using a surgical guide. After completion of the orthodontic treatment, the final restorations were fabricated.
Sinus graft surgery can be performed as either a one-stage or a two-stage approach.
The decisive factor in choosing a simultaneous approach (one-stage surgery) over a delayed approach (two-stage surgery) typically is based on two factors: 1.) the amount of remaining alveola
Jaime Lozada - One-stage sinus elevation with lateral approach
Sinus graft surgery can be performed as either a one-stage or a two-stage approach.
With the single-stage surgery, the bone grafting and implant placement are performed in one surgery with the graft placed first, followed by implant placement. In the case of a two-stage surge
Horizontal and vertical ridge augmentation of a knife-edge ridge
A 54-year-old man presented with missing right lower teeth and ridge deficiency. Horizontal and vertical augmentation by GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration) was carried out using the “Tenting Screw Technique”. Two implants and a free gingival graft were placed.
Orthognathic bimaxillary surgery including orthodontic alignment to correct dento-facial features
A 28-year-old female patient presented a Class II division 1 malocclusion. The maxilla was prognathic with pro-inclination of the incisors; the mandible was retrognathic. The treatment included orthodontic alignment followed by orthognathic bimaxillary surgery.
The fourth dimension of surgical reconstruction with implants involves development of an adjusted surgical protocol, which is time dependent and accounts for normal physiological changes of the skull and face. Previous treatment in 3-D did not address the possibilities of these dyn...
Jill Helms & John Brunski: The biomechanics of immediate function. An up-to-date analysis of how forces impact living bone around implants.
Implants have undergone a nearly continual transformation, with alterations in geometries, surface textures, and prosthetic attachments leading the way to innovation. Now, regimens are changing to support immediate functional loading. In this lecture the experts will discuss how...
