The presentation reviews the measures and options for treatment of peri-implantitis. Dr Rosen discusses that the etiologies to periodontitis and peri-implantitis share a number of common analogies, and advocates comparable treatment approaches. The initiator isn't always plaque...

It is very important and beneficial to avoid grafting in elderly patients, who often have compromised health conditions such as diabetes and osteoporosis. The All-on-4® treatment concept is a specific surgical procedure developed to avoid grafting procedures in edentulous...

The presentation gives an insight in how scientific data and clinical input can be used to develop and design new products and enhance and optimize existing products, to make treatment more predictable and safe. Dr Holst highlights specifically that in dentistry we usually use...

Conventional dentures are a common treatment option, but, when bone is missing, they may not meet functional, psychological and social needs of the individual. Classical surgical approaches include different...

Oral implants are usually placed in the mandibular and maxillary bone and sometimes in additional bone structures such as the zygomatic, pterygoid or vomer bone. In order to identify relevant anatomical structures, diagnostic evaluation of the anatomy...

Orthognathic surgery treatment planning should include assessment of the entire face, especially in two third profiles, facial, upper dental and lower dental midlines, occlusal cants, and asymmetries, both in rest and dynamically. Dr Swennen emphasizes the importance of...

The traditional free hand fibula-based reconstruction has evolved into a computer-aided simulation (CASS), minimizing operative time and maximizing precision. Dr Brecht and Dr Hirsch present CASS based treatment protocols and procedures for a one-stage surgical reconstruction of...
