The All-on-4® treatment concept is a proven treatment protocol that provides optimal support for an implant bridge with 4 implants even with minimum available bone volume. The lecture discusses the All-on-4® treatment concept under the failing dentition point of view and reviews...
Based on over 20 years of clinical experience with immediate implant placement and restoration, Dr Gelb reviews treatment options and benefits for this protocol in various clinical indications, and gives a glimpse of these procedures from his daily clinical practice. Immediate...
Dr Coachman develops how the smile design can be the primary principle of a restorative treatment plan, and how nowadays technologies assist us in achieving predictable esthetic restorations adressing functional and biologic aspects at the same time. Guided surgery is at times...
How can we treat patients more effectively, and with a better outcome? Dr Wöhrle presents how to optimize treatment planning with the final prosthetic design in mind, minimize surgical and prosthetic errors, optimize patient communication, and explains an integrated, digital...
A 55-year-old male patient desired replacement of a previously extracted, missing lower canine #43 FDI (#27 US) which had not been previously restored. The treatment option was the placement of an implant with horizontal and vertical bone augmentation.
A 29-year-old male patient presented himself after a traumatic injury with nonspecific pain in the maxillary front area. Tooth #11 FDI (#8 US) showed only little discomforting response to percussion. the patient opted for an implant-based prosthodontic restoration.
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...
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...
The lecture discusses, how to effectively use 3D imaging in planning for the tooth to be immediately replaced and restored, if real time diagnosis and evaluation of treatment complexity provides immediate gratification for clinician and the patient. Dr Glauser also reviews how use...
A 58-year-old male patient presented loss of multiple teeth, need for replacement of his conventional, partial removable dentures with a fixed restoration by Dr. Jevgenij Travkin. The All-on-4® treatment concept with immediate implant placement was chosen.
A 68-year-old female patient wearing an implant-supported restoration with a very high mobility due to periimplantitis. The treatment consisted in placement of new implants and a new prosthesis to re-establish function, esthetics and provide overall comfort.
The lecture focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of placing single implants in the posterior region at the time of tooth extraction, with emphasis on treatment and protocol decision and techniques to minimize number of treatment sessions. Review of scientific data for these...
The lecture discusses the surgical and prosthetic objectives when using the All-on-4 treatment concept and reviews the clinical management of patients covering aspects of treatment planning, surgical procedures and both provisional and final implant retained restoration.
