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...
A valuable reference for everyone involved in implant placement or implant restoration. 18 chapters from diagnosis to oral hygiene maintenance, 950+ photographs, over 40 videos, end of chapter self-assessment quizzes and 1,000+ scientific and literature references.
A 35-year-old male patient who lost teeth #11 and #21 FDI (#8 and #9 US). The treatment was based on the angulated screw channel (ASC) system and involved placement of two screw-retained single units and two Nobel Active Implants.
A 55-year-old female patient with missing maxillary premolars, class IV recession on the adjacent tooth, pneumatized sinus. She was treated with simultaneous sinus elevation, implant placement, guided bone regeneration, and soft tissue grafting.
Dr. Wöhrle discusses how to use digital workflows in your implant practice, utilizing data acquisition by means of CBCT and surface scanning to create predictable implant treatment. He uses clinical examples to demonstrate how to use digital tools for treatment planning and using s
A 19-year-old female patient with multiple aplasias, substantial vertical overlap (overbite), and a medium-to-high smile line. She received Nobel Active 3.5 (13 mm) implants and simultaneous bone augmentation with a bone substitute on her lateral incisors.
A 32-year-old patient with missing central and lateral incisor presented significant loss of hard and soft tissues, and the midline deviated to the left. A Porcelain-fused-to-metal crown over implant with a GBR and a collagen membrane on #21 FDI (#9 US) was chosen.
Sinus grafting is recognized as an effective treatment modality with high implant survival rates having been reported. The lateral approach technique entails opening a lateral window in the bone and elevating the sinus membrane from the inferior aspect of the maxillary si
Sinus graft surgery can be performed as either a one-stage or a two-stage approach.
The decisive factor in choosing a simultaneous approach (one-stage surgery) over a delayed approach (two-stage surgery) typically is based on two factors: 1.) the amount of remaining alveola
Sinus graft surgery can be performed as either a one-stage or a two-stage approach.
With the single-stage surgery, the bone grafting and implant placement are performed in one surgery with the graft placed first, followed by implant placement. In the case of a two-stage surge
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.
A 28-year-old female patient presented a Class II division 1 malocclusion. The maxilla was prognathic with pro-inclination of the incisors; the mandible was retrognathic. The treatment included orthodontic alignment followed by orthognathic bimaxillary surgery.
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...
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...
