Placing implants immediately in fresh extraction sockets is a technically-sensitive procedure, which calls for careful consideration of several factors during diagnosis and treatment planning. One critically important factor for long-term soft tissue maintenance is the dental...

Immediate implant placement and Function represent valuable treatment protocols which can be applied in a broad range of indications. From patients missing a single tooth to soon-to-be-edentulous patients, everyone can benefit from the advantages of simultaneous extraction, implant...

Each and every day patients present with teeth that are fractured and non-restorable, endodontic failures, non-restorable caries and periodontally hopeless teeth. Traditional treatment options, such as delayed protocols and site grafting, create great uncertainty and expense for...

Tissue volume is key to achieving natural and esthetic treatment outcomes at implant sites. An adequate management of the provisional and definitive restorations can influence soft tissue shape and volume and enhance final results.

This lecture will focus on design features of...

Replacing the hopeless prognosis molar with an implant is one of the most predictable treatment options in dentistry today. Nonetheless, there are several barriers to the acceptance of this treatment protocol, such as length of treatment and prolonged chair time. Placing and...

Dr. Edmond Bedrossian’s lecture is focused on the biomechanics of both the prosthetic and surgical factors regarding the use of zygomatic implants.  Multiple studies are reviewed demonstrating the long term success of zygomatic implants.  Additional research is discussed that...

Discover the findings of the consensus conference on “ Missing Single Teeth”.

Dr. Wolfgang Bolz discusses managing a terminal/failing dentition with procedures which are both preditable and efficient. He discusses common barriers to treatment faced by patients. The number of patients that need dental treatment is growing exponentially, while the percentage...

Dr. Lau reviews success factors for immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone from a surgical perspective. He presents the BALS rule (biotype, angulation and position, level of bone and support of prosthesis) and walks the audience through the importance of each factor. A...

Dr. Wong shares his insights on several major aspects of posterior implant rehabilitation.  Both the surgical and prosthetic features of the treatment plan are covered: type, size, number and distribution of implants, prosthetic and abutment design, material selection, hygiene...

Dr. Keng Mun Wong reviews the clinical decision-making related to timing of implant placement in the esthetic zone. When is it a better option to preserve the tooth and when to extract? When can an implant be placed immediately, and when is it beneficial to decide for an immediate...

The atrophic maxilla presents a significant challenge to the surgical and restorative team. Patients seek a long- term solution in the restoration of function, esthetics, and ultimately their quality of life. Prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with severe maxillary bone...

Highlighting with several patient cases and clinical videos, and underlining with literature data, Dr Pozzi explains the workflow principles and advantages when using guided surgery protocols and provides tips and tricks for optimizing soft tissue management and esthetic outcome...

Implant provisional restorations are the business card of the esthetic dentist. Postextraction tissue resorption and remodeling is inevitable. Dr. Fang explains that the tissue remodeling can be compensated by preserving the tissue through immediate implant placement and...

Dr Jivraj guides through a comprehensive and instructive review of the restorative considerations for the All-on-4® concept. The lecture covers general considerations of the All-on4 concept and aspects of biomechanics, restoration design, space considerations, materials used...
