Traditional methods of treating our patients are being replaced by digital processes, impacting our daily life. The intake of various technologies such as CBCT imaging, scanning, digitalrestorative design and CAD/CAM production have contributed to this movement. In the same time...

The necessary treatment steps from reaching osseointegration around an implant to optimized esthetics are a challenge for every clinician. The treating clinician needs to consider surgical, perio and restorative aspects to reach best outcomes. What tools could be used to facilitate...

It has been our experience, over the last ten years, that the vast majority of patients presenting with “terminal dentition” prefer to maintain fixed “teeth”. The All-on-4® treatment concept will meet these requirements. Furthermore treatment time, costs and treatment effort is...

The All-on-4® treatment concept has now become a routine, highly successful clinical procedure. However, there are a number of common surgical complications that can be avoided through proper planning and surgical technique. This lecture will address aspects of planning to avoid co

This presentation will illustrate the total treatment outline in patient therapy using guided surgery with the All-on-4®  treatment concept – advantages and limitations.

Step by step procedures from diagnosis to prosthesis delivery will be shown: patient examination, radiographic...

Many patients long for fast, painless and effective treatment for their failing dentition. In Germany, an estimated 10 million patients are already edentulous or will soon become edentulous. The treatment options presented to them usually include long, invasive, painful and...

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), in combination with the NobelClinician® software and NobelGuide® surgical templates offer the dental implant team a new set of planning, surgical, and restorative tools. These technologies aid the restorative, surgical, and dental laboratory...

Unique physical, optical, and biologic properties have made zirconia a preferred material for restorative options from single units to full-mouth rehabilitations. For bilayer restorations with zirconia as a core and framework material, proper selection and application of the...

Intra-oral scanning devices have existed for nearly thirty years with a rapid increase in the number of commercial solutions. The major question remains – “are we there yet?” The technology brings many benefits, but there are also several technical and clinical limitations. This is...

For the partially edentulous patient to achieve complete prosthetic rehabilitation, the dental team needs to identify common challenges and goals to facilitate clinical workflows for the patient. Conventional and digital diagnostic procedures can demonstrate appropriate surgical...

Placing implants immediately in fresh extraction sockets is a technically-sensitive procedure, which calls for careful consideration of several factors during diagnosis and treatment planning. One critically important factor for long-term soft tissue maintenance is the dental...

Immediate implant placement allows for a reduced number of surgical visits, less time to final restorations, decreased cost for patients, and high implant survival rates and bone maintenance, all of which are objectives of patients and clinicians alike. These treatment protocols...

In addition to osseointegration, soft tissue integration is of paramount importance for the long-term success of dental implants. A lack of gingival sealing around an implant restoration can lead to biological complications, which can have critical effects in the case of implants...

In today’s CAD-driven world, the importance of a strong lab partner is often overlooked. CAD technology can only yield products as good as the team behind them. Mr. Rensburg discusses how his laboratory team best supports clinicians through the utilization of today’s technologies...

In Dr. Bertil Friberg’s presentation, he discusses ways in which treatment protocols can be improved to the benefit of the patient.  Dr. Friberg focuses on developments in the field of implant dentistry.  One advancement is implant surface modification; he discusses its impact on...
