BACK One Surgery One Time: Immediate Placement of Implants in the Esthetic Zone Implant dentistry is continuously evolving offering new and more predictable forms of therapy with minimally invasive protocols. Innovative techniques now allow for better esthetics, decreased treatment times, and greater patient comfort. This lecture will address current concepts
BACK Re-treatment of Compromised Sites in the Esthetic Zone The predictability and long-term success rate of dental implants is well documented in the literature. Nevertheless, complications and failures do occur, requiring retreatment. Failing implants and the consequences of implant removal usually result in significant loss of hard and soft tissues
BACK Soft Tissue Grafting with Allografts and Xenografts Soft tissue grafting techniques have become less invasive with the development of the tunnel technique and use of allograft and xenograft alternatives to palatal tissue. These advances have resulted in improved wound stability, reduced surgical risks and enhanced esthetics. This lecture will
BACK Sinus Grafting 30 Years: Myths and Realities This clinical based presentation is based on the presenter’s 30 year experience with sinus grafting. It will focus on myths and realities of selection criteria and biology of graft materials, physiology of the sinus membrane, management of large and complete membrane perforations,
BACK Surgical performance of implant designs for immediate treatment concepts and compromised sites Many factors explain the popularity of immediate loading protocols: patients appreciate being able to shorten the overall length of implant treatment and reduce the number of procedures they must undergo in order to obtain fixed implant prostheses.
BACK The One Crown one Time Concept The recent digital technology offers numerous new and efficient options for restorative dentistry. Within digital dentistry the optical impressioning is the first step towards a digitalization of the patient’s intraoral situation. The resulting digital file is then used for the virtual planification and
BACK Zirconia implants: what are my benefits Zirconia as a material for implants is available in oral implantology since more than 20 years. However, Zirconia implants are considered to be a minority within the dental implants market. Using Zirconia implants in dentistry still awakes emotions either on the patient’s or on
BACK Soft-tissue Augmentation and Corrections for the Prevention and Management of Peri-Implant Disease Soft-tissue augmentation has become an essential measure for both the prevention and management of peri-implant disease. This mainly refers to the establishment of an adequate width of keratinized tissue to provide a mechanical protection against plaque
BACK How to master the use of L-PRF in clinical practice. Leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF), a second-generation platelet concentrate and completely different from PRP. L-PRF is an autologous blood-derived product, which can be obtained, quickly and in a cost-effective manner. It is produced from peripheral blood, which is immediately
BACK Clinical benefits with L-PRF in tissue regeneration Leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF), a second generation platelet concentrate and completely different from PRP.
