Examine the challenges of the posterior maxilla and infected sites in the posterior mandible. Dr. Gabor Tepper, moderator Joe Kan and the expert panel discuss IIPP feasibility in these indications. Learn how to get started with immediate implants.
Move from the infra-crestal to the supra-crestal component of the IIPP treatment with Dr. Oscar Gonzalez-Martin, moderator Joe Kan and the expert panel. Learn how to address the emergence profile whether provisionalizing at immediate implant placement or after the tissues mature.
Ceramic implant experts, Markus Blatz, Jens Tartsch and Michael Gahlert discuss the modernization of materials and implant design transforming the reliability of zirconia implants for an established treatment option of today.
Dr. Fabbri discusses the benefits of the new TiUltra and Xeal. He explains the concept of mucointegration and the clinical benefits it offers. This idea of combining the benefits of the On1 abutment with the new surface allows undisturbed soft tissue healing with mucointegration.
In this work the effect of surface anodization on soft tissue integration was evaluated by comparing anodized (Xeal™) and machined surface titanium discs as culture substrates for human gingival epithelial cells (HGEPp) and primary human gingival fibroblasts (HFIB-G). HFIB-G cells...
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
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...
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...
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.
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...
The goal of creating a harmonious aesthetic outcome around dental implants that mimics the surrounding dentition and soft-tissue condition as well as morphology is indeed difficult to create and maintain long term. The subepithelial connective tissue graft (CTG) is a favored option...
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...
