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. Hashim explores the current developments in ceramic implants, sharing the benefits of ceramic implants.

Dr. Fabbri discusses the importance of undisturbed soft tissue healing for a stable and long-term clinical success, with a special focus on the benefits of the "One Abutment - One Time" concept.

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...

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

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...

There are a plethora of materials available for full arch implant supported CADCAM restorations. Often the clinician is faced with the difficult task of choosing the most appropriate combination of materials. This presentation will present a list of factors that are critical in...

Replacement of failed implants (functional or esthetic) can be a daunting task and often achieves unsatisfactory results. A decision on implant removal, according to set guidelines, should be made as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary tissue loss. Normal bone physiology should...

In recent years, numerous papers have focused on the treatment of edentulous maxillae with immediately loaded implant-supported prostheses. Despite the inherent challenges of this kind of rehabilitation, these papers reported favorable results. In 2004, the Department of Implant...

The aim of the presentation will be to demonstrate how contemporary prosthodontic treatment options can simplify the surgical procedure for our patients, yet still allow us to achieve a successful treatment outcome. Knowledge of what restorative options are available are a critical...

Reaching for an aesthetic end-result involves optimized soft tissue protocols. The use of provisional restorations gives advantages and makes the final prosthetic steps easier to achieve an excellent esthetic result. The handling of the soft tissue and its manipulation at the right...

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...
