The lecture reviews the challenges in relation to restoring multiple missing anterior teeth with implants. The goal is to achieve harmony and continuity of soft tissues in visible areas defined by perceived symmetry. Problems are related with change in underlying anatomy upon...

Pink esthetics evolved since 1997 and is now standard of care through planned esthetic implant position and bone and soft tissue augmentation techniques. Dr Jovanovic reviews the parameters to achieve esthetic treatments in the esthetic zone and discusses aspects of the bony...

To obtain an esthetic result, the objective is to achieve harmony between pink and white tissues. usually this is an issue and in periodontally compromised it is likely to be an even bigger challenge. Dr Ricci gives insight in the surgical and prosthetic treatment steps, procedures...

Treatment with multiple adjacent implants shows considerably more complexity in comparison to restoring with a single implant, especially in the esthetic zone. The lecture discusses the clinical scenarios which are important for treatment planning: healed vs extraction site...

The presentation gives an in insight in 'corrective implant supported therapy on patients with downhill dentition with malocclusion' and how to reposition bone, gums and teeth. Dr Euwe reviews the treatment goals: enhance esthetics, establish class 1 occlusion, align and level arch

The lecture reviews the criteria for successful soft tissue management in the esthetic zone. Correct three-dimensional implant position around 3 mm apical and 2 mm palatal of the final desired gingival margin on the restoration support the buccal plate and adequate stable bone...

The lecture reviews the parameters for soft tissue management around implants. The implant insertion depth targets to place the implants in relationship to the future free gingival margin, influenced by the implant design such as connection type, platform shift and size discrepancy...

Dr Bedrossian presents a patient case with the clinical findings: loss of posterior support, primary periodontal disease, secondary occlusal trauma, CR MI (centric relation to maximum intercuspation) slide of 2 mm, tardive dyskinesia, labial incompetence, and discusses his...

Advantages of abutment-supported prostheses are 1) When implants are not parallel to each other, the use of angulated abutments can "correct" for the non-parallelism 2) Angulated abutments are available for a screw-retained prosthesis and 3) Custom abutments can be...

The presentation explains the treatment approach and treatment steps in a complex unilateral case with two fractured upper central and lateral teeth. Dr van Dooren reviews the diagnostic tools and highlights the additional insights patient videos can provide e.g. regarding the...

In comparison to the natural tooth the implant does not have a periodontal ligament which supports vascularization of the bone and the gingival attachment. Therefore especially the buccal plate at an implant site is subject to resorption. Dr Staas emphasizes the importance of an...

Facial gingival tissue recessions can lead to considerable esthetic compromised results such as e.g. visible implant collars. Supported by a patient case, the lecture discusses how to stabilize the tissues and avoid tissue recessions. Dr Kan reviews the three mains considerations...

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

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 discusses immediate implant placement and immediate provisionalization and how these procedures affect soft tissue condition around single anterior implants, and supported by clinical cases and literature data, reviews the differences between immediate and delayed...
