This presentation will deliver all the need-to-know information when treating with the angulated screw channel abutment (ASC) and full contour zirconia (FCZ) concepts. The lecturer will focus particularly on questions that may arise in such cases; Should we choose the full contour...

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...

Pink Esthetic Score assesses 7 soft tissue variables, it allows for reproducible assessments of peri-implant soft tissue around single tooth implants (Gehrke 2009). Different treatment modalities can be compared, flapless procedures show better outcomes than flapped procedures...

There are a plethora of materials available for full arch implant supported CADCAM restorations. Often the clinician is faced with the difficult task of choosing the most appropriate combination of materials. This presentation will present a list of factors that are critical in...

A key aspect of performance assessment is that a system is only as strong as its weakest link, and that the performance of any component depends not only on the component itself, but also on its interactions within the system. The interface between implant and abutment is critical...

The use of NobelClincian digital diagnostics enables planning full arch dental implant treatments, such as the All-on-4® treatment concept, by beginning with the final prosthetic outcome in mind. This digital precision can reduce risk and improve predictability by allowing the clin...

Grafting options in the edentulous maxilla include autografts, allografts and heterografts. Complications for sinus grafting include membrane perforations, sinusitis and graft resorption. Onlay/ inter-positional bone grafts and GBR have resorption rates ranging from 10%-50%, graft...

It has been stated that the periodontist's primary role is to maintain the natural dentition in health, function and esthetics. Patients' dentitions can fail for a variety of reasons, periodontal bone loss being only one of them. As periodontal treatment concepts of disease and...

The All-on-4® treatment concept has gained a significant momentum in the last decade. This presentation will focus on the diagnostic factors to enhance clinical outcomes. Emphasis will be placed on how the clinician chooses between fixed vs. removable implant supported restorations...

Vertical augmentation presents one of the greatest challenges of bone regeneration in implant dentistry. Patient selection, patient preparation for surgery, precise surgical techniques and postoperative management are the key factors in reducing the rate of bone graft complications...

Reconstruction of the alveolar ridge has become essential for oral rehabilitation with dental implants. Biomaterials of allogeneic, xenogeneic and synthetic origin have long been used in support of alveolar bone augmentation with mixed results. In the last decade, growth factors...

Regenerating viable bone capable of gaining implant primary stability is paramount in dental rehabilitation today. This can be achieved without additional morbity by the effective use of autologous adult stem cells in combination with allogenic bone and recombinant human bone...

The trend today is to augment after a tooth is extracted to avoid significant loss of ridge volume and shape. Is there an indication for surgical technique and does the literature support this approach? This presentation will compare results from selected studies and systematic...

Dental implants have evolved dramatically over the last decade, and so have our expectations in terms of function and aesthetics. The augmentation of soft tissue around dental implants for enhancing inter-implant papilla architecture has emerged as an area of much concern and focus...

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a well established technique for horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation. Since the first publications in the early 1980’s extensive research was carried out focusing on different membranes, grafting materials, and timing of implant placement, as...
