Dr Kan leads through a journey on immediate implant placement from both a surgical and prosthetic point of view, discussing aspects of soft and hard tissue condition, interaction of implant size, diameter, position and socket form, influences of crestal bone condition and biologic...

Für ein ästhetisches Endergebnis und einen harmonischen und symmetrischen Weichgewebsverlauf ist die korrekte dreidimensionale Implantatposition von entscheidender Bedeutung. Zu weit buccal gesetzte Implantate führen notwendigerweise zu einem inadäquaten Emergenzprofil mit apikaler...

Sufficient soft tissue volume and natural scalloping contour is key for esthetic success. Dr Gamborena is discussing aspects of soft tissue management criteria, innovative connective tissue graft and healing abutment design, and related flap, suturing and restorative considerations...

Based on over 20 years experience and as one of the pioneers of this technique, Dr Dahlin reviews history, principles and potential future developments of guided tissue regeneration (GBR). Illustrated by clinical examples, Dr Dahlin discusses physiological bone resorption patterns...

With evolution of treatment procedures, products and scientific evidence, treatment concepts change over time. Dr Bahat reviews, what procedures and requirements in his practice have changed over time and what stayed the same. Esthetic demands by patients and subsequent need of...

Bisphosphonatinduzierte Kiefernekrose (BRONJ) ist in der Zahnmedizin und Kieferchirurgie eine erst seit 2002 beschriebene Komplikation. Über Pathologie und Ätiologie gibt es unterschiedliche und teilweise modeartige Ansichten und es gibt viele offene Fragestellungen, auch im...

Periodiontal diseases may create complex vertical and horizontal bone defects and pose specific challenges for implant based treatment. Dr Tabanella presents patient histories with generalized chronic and advanced periodontitis situations and reviews challenges, treatment planning...

Stable and healthy soft tissue conditions are important for the longevity of implant restorations and crucial for their esthetic success especially in the esthetic region. Dr Rompen is reviewing aspects of the biological width and gingival biotypes and their important influence.

Für eine adäquate Ästhetik bei Implantatversorgung ist ein ausreichendes Weichgewebsvolumen von entscheidender Bedeutung. Bindegewebstransplantate können wesentlich zum Erhalt von Weichgewebsvolumen und -architektur beitragen. Dr Wachtel präsentiert Techniken mit...

The primary goal is a proper oral function. This implies not only chewing but also speaking, smiling. Patients’ adaptability varies enormously. Some are satisfied with removable dentures, others object to the esthetics of...

Dr Jemt reviews experiences with dental implants from the Brånemark clinic since 1985 till today, including 11.000 patients and 40.000 implants placed, and earlier experiences from the Gothenburg group since 1965. In their long-term follow up, the Branemark clinic team focusses on...

Scientific and clinical evidence on how many implants need to be placed, have evolved over time. 6 or more implants being the standard years ago, today 4 implants can be considered standard of care for the mandible and in most cases also for the maxilla, with the All-on 4 concept...

Cement-retained restorations are a traditional design to attach a restoration (crown, bridge) to an implant-retained abutment, similar to cementing a crown or bridge restoration on a natural tooth. With the traditional, relatively...

Screw-retained restorations are designed to be screwed either directly onto the implant or onto a screw-retained abutment positioned on the implant (Multi-unit Abutment). Screw-retained restorations represent a secure and easy way to...
