“In spite of refinements of the surgical techniques and increased sophistication of prosthetic reconstructions, there are limits to what can be achieved with a prosthesis anchored in limited basal jawbone.” PI Branemark. 

This presentation will address the following questions: What...

Implant care has evolved significantly since the advent of osseointegration. Various options are available that enable reconstruction of completely edentulous patients with less invasive protocols. In many instances, bone augmentation procedures can be avoided and a significantly...

The All-on-4® graftless treatment concept provides an advantageous solution for delivery of full arch immediate load hybrid prosthesis for patients suffering from failing dentition. The biomechanical basis and clinical success of the All-on-4® treatment concept in both maxillary...

This lecture will introduce key biomechanical and surgical principles in order to avoid complications, as well as guidelines for complication management when using the Zygoma implant. Management of failed or fractured Zygoma implants in addition to protocol for management of...

Treatment of the severely compromised patient involves many esthetic and biomechanical challenges. This presentation will discuss esthetic and biomechanical principles that need to be considered for long-term success. Emphasis will be placed on material combinations, patient...

The All-on-4® treatment concept has now become a routine, highly successful clinical procedure. However, there are a number of common surgical complications that can be avoided through proper planning and surgical technique. This lecture will address aspects of planning to avoid co

This presentation will illustrate the total treatment outline in patient therapy using guided surgery with the All-on-4®  treatment concept – advantages and limitations.

Step by step procedures from diagnosis to prosthesis delivery will be shown: patient examination, radiographic...

Many patients long for fast, painless and effective treatment for their failing dentition. In Germany, an estimated 10 million patients are already edentulous or will soon become edentulous. The treatment options presented to them usually include long, invasive, painful and...

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), in combination with the NobelClinician® software and NobelGuide® surgical templates offer the dental implant team a new set of planning, surgical, and restorative tools. These technologies aid the restorative, surgical, and dental laboratory...

Unique physical, optical, and biologic properties have made zirconia a preferred material for restorative options from single units to full-mouth rehabilitations. For bilayer restorations with zirconia as a core and framework material, proper selection and application of the...

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...

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...
