The advent of CAD-CAM technology and its ever-growing optimization has rapidly caught the attention of the dental community for its potential applications. Specifically in the implant dentistry field, 3D imaging based diagnostics and treatment planning are becoming part of the...

In recent years, numerous papers have focused on the treatment of edentulous maxillae with immediately loaded implant-supported prostheses. Despite the inherent challenges of this kind of rehabilitation, these papers reported favorable results. In 2004, the Department of Implant...

Immediate implants and immediate provisionalization (IIPP) has been shown to provide optimal preservation of soft and hard tissues which is paramount in the esthetic zone. Often IIPP are reserved for carefully selected cases with minimal risks as this technique was considered to be...

Reaching for an aesthetic end-result involves optimized soft tissue protocols. The use of provisional restorations gives advantages and makes the final prosthetic steps easier to achieve an excellent esthetic result. The handling of the soft tissue and its manipulation at the right...

Traditional methods of treating our patients are being replaced by digital processes, impacting our daily life. The intake of various technologies such as CBCT imaging, scanning, digitalrestorative design and CAD/CAM production have contributed to this movement. In the same time...

Implant care has evolved significantly since the advent of osseointegration. Various options are available that enable reconstruction of completely edentulous patients with less invasive protocols. In many instances, bone augmentation procedures can be avoided and a significantly...

The All-on-4® graftless treatment concept provides an advantageous solution for delivery of full arch immediate load hybrid prosthesis for patients suffering from failing dentition. The biomechanical basis and clinical success of the All-on-4® treatment concept in both maxillary...

This lecture will introduce key biomechanical and surgical principles in order to avoid complications, as well as guidelines for complication management when using the Zygoma implant. Management of failed or fractured Zygoma implants in addition to protocol for management of...

Treatment of the severely compromised patient involves many esthetic and biomechanical challenges. This presentation will discuss esthetic and biomechanical principles that need to be considered for long-term success. Emphasis will be placed on material combinations, patient...

The All-on-4® treatment concept has now become a routine, highly successful clinical procedure. However, there are a number of common surgical complications that can be avoided through proper planning and surgical technique. This lecture will address aspects of planning to avoid co

This presentation will illustrate the total treatment outline in patient therapy using guided surgery with the All-on-4®  treatment concept – advantages and limitations.

Step by step procedures from diagnosis to prosthesis delivery will be shown: patient examination, radiographic...

Many patients long for fast, painless and effective treatment for their failing dentition. In Germany, an estimated 10 million patients are already edentulous or will soon become edentulous. The treatment options presented to them usually include long, invasive, painful and...

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), in combination with the NobelClinician® software and NobelGuide® surgical templates offer the dental implant team a new set of planning, surgical, and restorative tools. These technologies aid the restorative, surgical, and dental laboratory...

Achieving anterior implant esthetics is a challenging procedure. Understanding the biological and physiological limitations of the soft and hard tissues will facilitate predictability in simple to complex esthetic situations. This presentation will reflect on the past and current,

Immediate implant placement and Function have become highly demanded treatment protocols, as they offer multiple advantages to both patients and practitioners. Amongst others, shorter time to teeth leads to higher levels of patient satisfaction, which can in turn drive more...
