Patient cases

Immediate Implant Placement and Provisionalization of the central incisors

A 26-year-old female patient is treated following the "MeteenDoor"- protocol. This Dutch protocol includes the placement of a bone substitute simultaneously with Immediate Implant Placement and Provisionalization (IIPP) reducing the horizontal buccal bone changes.

Patient cases

Immediate implant placement to replace deciduous teeth followed by orthodontic treatment.

A 26-year-old female patient wanted to have her teeth straightened. This clinical case describes the extractions of the lower deciduous second molars, followed by immediate implant placement. After the completion of the orthodontic treatment the final restorations were placed.

Patient cases

Horizontal and vertical ridge augmentation of a knife-edge ridge

A 54-year-old man presented with missing right lower teeth and ridge deficiency. Horizontal and vertical augmentation by GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration) was carried out using the “Tenting Screw Technique”. Two implants and a free gingival graft were placed.

Patient cases

Implant placement due to root fracture of a non-vital tooth

A 53-year-old female patient with #22 FDI (#10 US), which was endodontically treated and discolored, was esthetically unpleasing. The tooth was hopeless due to root fracture. A treatment plan was formulated to replace the non-vital tooth with an implant.

Bertil Friberg: Some thoughts about failing implants

The compromised jaw bone is mainly discussed in terms of expected problems and failures in relation to oral implant treatment. Rightly so, but it should be defined on various levels, implying:

-Interfering with the implant placement procedure, thus presenting with poor bone volume...

Oded Bahat: 4-D of surgical reconstruction

The fourth dimension of surgical reconstruction with implants involves development of an adjusted surgical protocol, which is time dependent and accounts for normal physiological changes of the skull and face. Previous treatment in 3-D did not address the possibilities of these dyn...

Jill Helms & John Brunski: The biomechanics of immediate function. An up-to-date analysis of how forces impact living bone around implants.

Implants have undergone a nearly continual transformation, with alterations in geometries, surface textures, and prosthetic attachments leading the way to innovation. Now, regimens are changing to support immediate functional loading. In this lecture the experts will discuss how...

France Lambert & Eric Rompen: Proper soft tissue handling to improve the outcome of implant restorations

Unstable soft tissue seal at implants favors an inflammatory reaction that can lead to facial recession, pocket formation and loss of bone support. The more stable and tight the soft tissue seal, the more predictable the outcome of implant rehabilitation. A major criterion influenc

Giovanni Cricchio: Graftless sinus elevation, concept (r)evolution

Rehabilitation with implants in the posterior maxilla is challenging due to the rapid reduction of the available bone which is the result of physiological resorption of the alveolar process together with increased pneumatisation of the maxillary sinus. Augmentation of the sinus...

Luís Senís: An innovative graftless approach for oral rehabilitation in the pterygomaxillary region

Due to bone resorbtion in atrophic maxillary cases, low bone density and reduced bone height is commonly presented in the posterior region. Different techniques have been used to solve these cases, with or without bone augmentation. The pterygomaxillary region has been found to...

Aram Davidyan: Key clinical and technical aspects for optimizing soft tissue health and aesthetics. Less abutment removals and biocompatible materials

The success of immediate loading expanded the clinical basis for restorations in the early postoperative period. On the other hand, there is no doubt that in order to ensure the stability of the soft tissues and to reduce bone remodeling, it is necessary to minimize manipulations...

David Dunn: Why should we screw-retain?

For a variety of reasons, there has been an increasing trend towards cement-retained restorations over the last decade, notwithstanding the concomitant increase in biological and mechanical complications. This trend is now rapidly reversing, as clinicians better appreciate the biol...

Charles Goodacre: The impact of cervical contour, marginal fit, and surface smoothness on peri-implant mucosa

Correcting adverse soft tissue responses around crowns requires specific cervical contours coupled with surface smoothness and marginal fit.  This presentation will show how these morphologic principles have been used to correct adverse gingival reactions with crowns on natural tee...

Aki Yoshida: Application and aesthetic properties of multi-layer Zirconia restorations

For more than a decade zirconia has become a preferred restoration material. A layered zirconia restoration combines the highest esthetics with strength and biocompatibility in the mouth. However, the opacity of the zirconia material is such that it may present some esthetic...

Gerard Chiche: The evolution of aesthetic possibilities based on zirconia.

 

In this presentation, emphasis will be placed on clinical situations that are best served aesthetically with zirconia. While the main advantage of zirconia is its mechanical strength, it is possible to design the restoration to maximize its esthetic potential and also to blend it...
