In the third and last part of this series, Dr. Groenendijk and Dr. Ferro share different approaches for the rehabiliation of multiple missing teeth in the maxilla.

Dr Ana Ferro, Dr Edith Groenendijk and Dr Tara Aghaloo discuss the question "To graft or not to graft". Which situations can benefit from a grafting procedure? The experts discuss indications in depth, review clinical cases and the clinical evidence to answer this key question. 

Dr. Krivitsky discusses the importance of site development for implant placement. She reviews the pattern of resorption following extraction and the important role bone graft plays in preserving the bone architecture. Her focus is on two specific challenges...

Dr. Albrektsson reviews the success and failure of oral implants related to patient influences, surgical techniques, implant designs and the locations of implant placement. The literature behind the success of the Ti-Unite surface oral implants is reviewed demonstrating the long...

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...

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

Today, the time factor plays an increasingly important role in a patient’s treatment decisions and effective solutions are expected from the dentist. This raises issues when deciding on immediate or delayed implant placement even in the posterior zone. Several factors need to be...

In this presentation different ways to treat severe cases will be presented. The presentation will focus on the rationale and long term results for sinus elevation and implant placement in the extremely resorbed maxillae.

Dr. Patrick Palac

Dental implant treatments are constantly evolving in order to improve harmonious esthetic integration. This lecture will focus on a new concept, On1, allowing biological advantages in the fragile soft-tissue implant /restoration interface. Avoiding disturbance of the biologic space...

In order for a patient to receive a properly placed implant with a functional and esthetically successful restoration, the clinician must be aware of the anatomical limitations of the maxillo-mandibular complex.  

The goal of this presentation is to provide the clinician with...

This lecture will focus on the biologic criteria when it comes to restoring anterior implants using as an alternative a screw or cement retained restoration. The main problematic aspect for the cemented implant restoration will be discussed widely with different clinical examples...

Vertical augmentation presents one of the greatest challenges of bone regeneration in implant dentistry. Patient selection, patient preparation for surgery, precise surgical techniques and postoperative management are the key factors in reducing the rate of bone graft complications...

Reconstruction of the alveolar ridge has become essential for oral rehabilitation with dental implants. Biomaterials of allogeneic, xenogeneic and synthetic origin have long been used in support of alveolar bone augmentation with mixed results. In the last decade, growth factors...

Regenerating viable bone capable of gaining implant primary stability is paramount in dental rehabilitation today. This can be achieved without additional morbity by the effective use of autologous adult stem cells in combination with allogenic bone and recombinant human bone...

The trend today is to augment after a tooth is extracted to avoid significant loss of ridge volume and shape. Is there an indication for surgical technique and does the literature support this approach? This presentation will compare results from selected studies and systematic...
