Modern digital technologies allow to efficiently connect the clinical treatment team, surgeons, restorative dentists, radiologists, dental technician and dental staff, in order to develop and align medical imaging and treatment planning. The lecture leads through a journey of the...

Dr Staas and Michiel Wouters discuss the team approach between lab and clinician from an esthetic, biological, predictability and reliability perspective. They review material selection and restoration design aspects, such as CAD/CAM and Zirpress techniques, emergence profile...

3D planning approach is critical for using available bone. Within the current digital workflow for guided surgery the planned prosthesis is translated into a radiographic guide. Dr Dawood raises the question how precise the guided surgery approach can be within this workflow, and...

Dental implants can be placed with flap or with a flapless procedure. Supported by clinical examples and systematic literature review and analysis, Dr Chow gives insight in flapless procedures, their benefits and how to overcome challenges. Flapless surgery is effective in both...

Patients request not only functional restorations, but also esthetic rehabilitation, improvement of appearance, smile and self-esteem. To support this objective, modern digital planning systems combine guided surgery assistance with appropriate and comprehensive diagnostic and...

The lecture gives insight in a new implant concept for immediate post-extraction implant placement in compromised situations showing considerable bone loss. Highlighting with clinical case examples of different complexity levels and supported by a multi-center study in 30 centers...

The lecture discusses parameters for esthetic reconstruction on multiple implants in the anterior maxilla. Presenting a clinical case with 6 anterior implants from canine to canine, Dr Fradeani gives insight in the parameters defining the esthetic result from both a soft tissue and...

The lecture gives insight in how we can deliver naturally looking restorations with highly predictable long-term soft tissue integration, in our daily practice. Preservation of bone crest and soft tissue are supported by a tight implant-abutment connection as a barrier against...

The lecture summarizes the development of implant-based treatment options for edentulous indications over time until the most up-to-date treatment techniques, like zygomatic implants, the All-on-4 technique, digital diagnostics and treatment planning and guided surgery procedures...

A 28-year-old female patient was referred by an endodontist. The root showed signs of resorption and a long-term survival was questionable. The tooth had to be removed and an immediate implant with an adjacent muco-gingival surgery was placed. 

Flapless implant surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed either using guided surgery or custom fabricated surgical guides made of casts taken at the first patient visit. Several clinical papers reported excellent short- and long...

The All-on-4® treatment concept can be combined with a guided surgical protocol. Looking back on experiences with these techniques since 2005, Dr Lopes reviews the advantages of these protocols for patient and surgeon, such as comfort, reduced surgery time and increased...

A 65-year-old female patient came for a complete-arch treatment.  The aim was to re-position the old removable denture in its original position to be able to transfer it into a cement-retained provisional denture. 

Oral implant surgical procedures may comprise grafting and flap procedures and subsequently cause prolonged treatment and healing periods as well as chance of pain and morbidity for the patient. In this presentation Dr Lopes highlights that with the know-how, expertise, and the...

The lecture reviews the treatment of a failed bridge restoration supported by implants and natural teeth. Dr Gamborena and L Rutten explain the treatment sequence and the cooperation between the clinic and the dental lab. The lecture discusses patient motivation, treatment options...
