This is a session introduction to the 'Established strategies for soon-to-be-edentulous patients general session as the Nobel Biocare Global Symposium 2016.

Dr. Edmond Bedrossian received his dental degree from the University of the Pacifi c and completed his Oral & Maxillo facial...

It has been our experience, over the last ten years, that the vast majority of patients presenting with “terminal dentition” prefer to maintain fixed “teeth”. The All-on-4® treatment concept will meet these requirements. Furthermore treatment time, costs and treatment effort is...

With more than 178 million Americans missing at least one tooth, there's a great need for identifying dental implant solutions with long-term stability. Instead of treating tooth by tooth, the dental practitioner should assess the mouth functioning as a whole.

This presentation...

“In spite of refinements of the surgical techniques and increased sophistication of prosthetic reconstructions, there are limits to what can be achieved with a prosthesis anchored in limited basal jawbone.” PI Branemark. 

This presentation will address the following questions: What...

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...

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...

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...

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...
