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...

Peri-implantitis is an infection around implants associated with the presence of submucosal bacterial biofilm, with the biofilm microorganisms adhering and hiding on irregular surface structures such as the rough implant surface, crown margin areas and unfavorably designed...

A consensus statement is an agreement on currently available knowledge and may shift over time based on new evidence. Today there are solid data that there is an association between history of periodontitis and later peri-implant inflammation and infection. However this finding...

A 47-year-old female patient referred by her periodontist who was not satisfied with her gingival health. Metal-ceramic crowns with ceramic margins on the natural teeth along with placement of a custom abutment and cementation of a metal-ceramic crown on the implant were chosen.

The presentation gives a close look at a systematic approach, how to plan implant restorations step by step, from an esthetic perspective. It is an esthetic-occlusal system and applied in a way that the interdisciplinary team has a common ground. Supported by several clinical...

A 68-year-old female patient with an initial crown preparation that was extended to the bone level. The tooth was extracted and an implant placed. The mucosal recession was experienced due to bone loss associated with cracked root.

The lecture gives insight in the tremendous change, advanced imaging techniques can provide to implant dentistry and dentistry in general. Dr Dawood presents examples where 3D visualization is able to reveal surprising diagnostic findings having a strong influence on treatment...

Focusing on the posterior mandible, Dr Moy reviews aspects of flap design and development, selection of implant design and dimensions, selection of the appropriate loading protocol and discusses the use of guided approach. Soft tissue management should maintain and enhance quality...

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 reviews the parameters for soft tissue evaluation and clinical procedures for soft tissue conditioning, with both non-surgical and surgical techniques. To get sufficient information for proper planning it is important to make use of comprehensive diagnostic tools, like...

The lecture gives insight in experiences with dental implant treatment in the Branemark clinic over a period of > 30 years, with over 8000 patients treated and almost 40.000 implants placed. The first developments focused on esthetics and screw joints, development of standardized...

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...

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...

The lecture discusses fundamental systemic health challenges and their impact on osseointegration, and reviews the influence of diabetes, osteoporosis, smoking, bisphosphonates and radiation therapy. Dr Koka presents the concepts of osseointegration and osseosufficiency, as well as...

The lecture discusses a patient case with multiple missing teeth in maxilla and mandible. Video part one presents the patient situation and reviews the digital and conventional diagnostic and treatment planning tools. Video part two presents the chosen treatment and gives insight...
