A 68-year-old female patient with an initial crown preparation that was extended to the bone level. The tooth was extracted and an implant placed. The mucosal recession was experienced due to bone loss associated with cracked root.

A 73-year-old female patient presented with extensive bone loss around the posterior tooth abutment, requiring extraction. Two crowns were used to replace the missing teeth and they were splinted to control the leverage due to the distal location of the implant in the molar crown.

A 65-year-old female patient came for a complete-arch treatment.  The aim was to re-position the old removable denture in its original position to be able to transfer it into a cement-retained provisional denture. 

A 53-year-old female patient presented with the molar removed, preserving the buccal plate and there was sufficient bone to place an implant in an optimal restorative position. The tooth was extracted and an implant placed. 

The lecture gives insight in the tremendous change, advanced imaging techniques can provide to implant dentistry and dentistry in general. Dr Dawood presents examples where 3D visualization is able to reveal surprising diagnostic findings having a strong influence on treatment...

Focusing on the posterior mandible, Dr Moy reviews aspects of flap design and development, selection of implant design and dimensions, selection of the appropriate loading protocol and discusses the use of guided approach. Soft tissue management should maintain and enhance quality...

The lecture discusses the need for treatment and the treatment options in multiple posterior missing teeth cases, as well as the barriers to such treatments. Treatment of missing teeth is not necessary in all cases, as long as there is adaptive capacity to maintain oral function...

The lecture presents challenging patient treatment cases in the esthetic zone and how to manage the potential pitfalls with appropriate communication between the clinician and the dental technician. Dr Gamborena and P Rutten give insight in their approach and techniques to achieve...

The lecture reviews the parameters for soft tissue evaluation and clinical procedures for soft tissue conditioning, with both non-surgical and surgical techniques. To get sufficient information for proper planning it is important to make use of comprehensive diagnostic tools, like...

The lecture gives insight in experiences with dental implant treatment in the Branemark clinic over a period of > 30 years, with over 8000 patients treated and almost 40.000 implants placed. The first developments focused on esthetics and screw joints, development of standardized...

The lecture discusses immediate implant placement and immediate provisionalization and how these procedures affect soft tissue condition around single anterior implants, and supported by clinical cases and literature data, reviews the differences between immediate and delayed...

The lecture discusses immediate implant placement and immediate provisionalization and how these procedures affect soft tissue condition around single anterior implants, and supported by clinical cases and literature data, reviews the differences between immediate and delayed...

The lecture discusses fundamental systemic health challenges and their impact on osseointegration, and reviews the influence of diabetes, osteoporosis, smoking, bisphosphonates and radiation therapy. Dr Koka presents the concepts of osseointegration and osseosufficiency, as well as...

A 75-year-old female patient with multiple medical conditions asking for dental implants to improve her masticatory function. As such, the All-on-4® treatment concept protocol for the mandible and later on a flapless implant surgery for the maxilla have been employed.

The lecture presents an overview over the management of the edentulous arch focusing on minimally invasive options, like selection of narrow, short and zygomatic implants, the tilted placement of implants and the All-on-4 technique, and comparing these solutions with grafting...
