Tight collaboration between clinicians and lab technicians is needed from the beginning, before treatment is executed. Digital tools facilitate the creation of cemented provisionals prior to surgery and are the ideal real-life prototypes for the following final restorations during...

This lecture will reveal an amazing treatment journey extending the boundaries of minimally invasive guided surgery and prosthetics. NobelClinician integrated digital workflow provides a systematic comprehensive approach to the esthetic zone and to the transition of terminal dentit...

Digital implant planning and placement is here to stay as it delivers more efficient care with consistently better outcomes, especially in the partially edentulous patient. Placing an implant that is “restorable” is no longer the aspiration. With today’s technology one can do...

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...

What is the accuracy of guided surgery? How accurate is free hand surgery? These questions tend to underestimate the importance of the human factor in the equation. Although today’s systems build on highly accurate 3D information, indication setting, training, technique and skill...

A cone beam is indeed not just a cone beam…Despite guidelines, clinicians often have their own reality when it comes to CBCT usage in implantology. Unlike conventional 2D modalities, the numerous exposure parameters can drastically influence dose and image quality. In fact, the...

The lecture will highlight results generated with newly developed sampling and analytical platforms, including studies with systematic alterations of implant surface properties, morphological, ultrastructural, biomechanical and genomic/proteomic techniques. The hypothesis is that...

Replacement of failed implants (functional or esthetic) can be a daunting task and often achieves unsatisfactory results. A decision on implant removal, according to set guidelines, should be made as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary tissue loss. Normal bone physiology should...

A 33-year-old male patient's chief complaint was a missing lateral incisor which had been extracted several years earlier. A one-stage implant procedure simultaneous to connective tissue grafting and the use of a slim healing abutment was planned.

Ever since professor Brånemark introduced titanium as biomaterial and treated the first patient in the 1960’s, the method for oral rehabilitation with dental implants has spread over the world. Over the years, it has become a widely used and documented therapy for edentulism. But...

The advent of CAD-CAM technology and its ever-growing optimization has rapidly caught the attention of the dental community for its potential applications. Specifically in the implant dentistry field, 3D imaging based diagnostics and treatment planning are becoming part of the...

In recent years, numerous papers have focused on the treatment of edentulous maxillae with immediately loaded implant-supported prostheses. Despite the inherent challenges of this kind of rehabilitation, these papers reported favorable results. In 2004, the Department of Implant...

Immediate implants and immediate provisionalization (IIPP) has been shown to provide optimal preservation of soft and hard tissues which is paramount in the esthetic zone. Often IIPP are reserved for carefully selected cases with minimal risks as this technique was considered to be...

Reaching for an aesthetic end-result involves optimized soft tissue protocols. The use of provisional restorations gives advantages and makes the final prosthetic steps easier to achieve an excellent esthetic result. The handling of the soft tissue and its manipulation at the right...

The ultimate challenge in dentistry is the creation of a comprehensive, individual treatment plan that leads to a desired and complication-free result. This plan should incorporate the best scientific evidence with regard to the patient’s problems, the clinical expertise of the...
