The presentation gives a close look at a systematic approach, how to plan implant restorations step by step, from an esthetic perspective. It is an esthetic-occlusal system and applied in a way that the interdisciplinary team has a common ground. Supported by several clinical...

A 51-year-old female patient with a maxillary central incisor loss after trauma. Patient desired optimal esthetic result.

A 91-year-old female patient was unable to wear her existing dentures. There was no residual ridge in the maxilla, only soft tissue. In the mandible, there was extensive resorption with the inferior alveolar canal close to/on the residual ridge. 

The lecture discusses the different reasons, why patients loose teeth and the various options for treatment with implant supported restorations. The aspects which need to be considered comprise the reason of tooth loss such as caries, perio disease or apical lesions, and prosthetic...

A 57-year-old female patient presented with significant soft tissue defect requiring the use of pink porcelain for restoration.

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 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...

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 discusses a patient case with multiple missing teeth in maxilla and mandible. Video part one presents the patient situation and reviews the digital and conventional diagnostic and treatment planning tools. Video part two presents the chosen treatment and gives insight...

The lecture presents esthetic reconstruction principles in the anterior maxilla and discusses the challenge to integrate white and pink esthetics - soft tissue and tooth restoration. Dr Coachman presents a clinical case with an implant based crown restoration on an upper central...

A 50-year-old female patient with a strong fear of the dentist. A full-mouth rehabilitation of the maxilla with implants using a surgical guide was performed.
