Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) represents a very challenging situation for both patient and clinician. Besides malformation of the enamel layer and tooth discoloration, AI often shows other severe symptoms such as teeth impaction, root malformation and severy malocclusion. For the...

Immediate implant and tooth replacement have become a viable treatment option for replacing failing maxillary anterior teeth. However, potential challenges such as implant and esthetic complications may be encountered. The presentation focuses on on the current science...

Dr Kan leads through a journey on immediate implant placement from both a surgical and prosthetic point of view, discussing aspects of soft and hard tissue condition, interaction of implant size, diameter, position and socket form, influences of crestal bone condition and biologic...

Sufficient soft tissue volume and natural scalloping contour is key for esthetic success. Dr Gamborena is discussing aspects of soft tissue management criteria, innovative connective tissue graft and healing abutment design, and related flap, suturing and restorative considerations...

Based on over 20 years experience and as one of the pioneers of this technique, Dr Dahlin reviews history, principles and potential future developments of guided tissue regeneration (GBR). Illustrated by clinical examples, Dr Dahlin discusses physiological bone resorption patterns...

Periodiontal diseases may create complex vertical and horizontal bone defects and pose specific challenges for implant based treatment. Dr Tabanella presents patient histories with generalized chronic and advanced periodontitis situations and reviews challenges, treatment planning...

Stable and healthy soft tissue conditions are important for the longevity of implant restorations and crucial for their esthetic success especially in the esthetic region. Dr Rompen is reviewing aspects of the biological width and gingival biotypes and their important influence.

The primary goal is a proper oral function. This implies not only chewing but also speaking, smiling. Patients’ adaptability varies enormously. Some are satisfied with removable dentures, others object to the esthetics of...

Dr Jemt reviews experiences with dental implants from the Brånemark clinic since 1985 till today, including 11.000 patients and 40.000 implants placed, and earlier experiences from the Gothenburg group since 1965. In their long-term follow up, the Branemark clinic team focusses on...

Scientific and clinical evidence on how many implants need to be placed, have evolved over time. 6 or more implants being the standard years ago, today 4 implants can be considered standard of care for the mandible and in most cases also for the maxilla, with the All-on 4 concept...
