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...

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...

There is a need for a critical dimension of soft tissue seal protecting the osseointegration (biological width) and a minimum width and thickness of keratinised mucosa surrounding an osseointegrated implant. The standard surgical interventions to treat these conditions need a...

This presentation aims to examine how digital planning is extremely valuable for the replacement of single units in the esthetic zone aggregating precision and predictability. The threedimensional images of NobelClinician allow the surgeon to evaluate the site at every possible...

This lecture will reveal an amazing treatment journey extending the boundaries of minimally invasive guided surgery and prosthetics. NobelClinician integrated digital workflow provides a systematic comprehensive approach to the esthetic zone and to the transition of terminal dentit...

Digital implant planning and placement is here to stay as it delivers more efficient care with consistently better outcomes, especially in the partially edentulous patient. Placing an implant that is “restorable” is no longer the aspiration. With today’s technology one can do...

Intra-oral scanning devices have existed for nearly thirty years with a rapid increase in the number of commercial solutions. The major question remains – “are we there yet?” The technology brings many benefits, but there are also several technical and clinical limitations. This is...

Is a failing implant a red flag scenario in the learning curve?

With the explosive penetration of implantology in the dental community, we are more often confronted with complications and failing implants. Corrections and re-treatment are difficult and time consuming. Inadequate...

Replacement of failed implants (functional or esthetic) can be a daunting task and often achieves unsatisfactory results. A decision on implant removal, according to set guidelines, should be made as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary tissue loss. Normal bone physiology should...

A 33-year-old male patient's chief complaint was a missing lateral incisor which had been extracted several years earlier. A one-stage implant procedure simultaneous to connective tissue grafting and the use of a slim healing abutment was planned.

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...

The aim of the presentation will be to demonstrate how contemporary prosthodontic treatment options can simplify the surgical procedure for our patients, yet still allow us to achieve a successful treatment outcome. Knowledge of what restorative options are available are a critical...

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...

The necessary treatment steps from reaching osseointegration around an implant to optimized esthetics are a challenge for every clinician. The treating clinician needs to consider surgical, perio and restorative aspects to reach best outcomes. What tools could be used to facilitate...

When working with complex cases is it very important to operate as one team. Only when all professionals are working towards the same goal and focused on the patient can the optimal treatment results be achieved.

The speakers will show you cases and share their thoughts about when...
