The approach to implant dentistry as a lab technician has changed. The digital landscape offers many solutions for a laboratory today from keeping all of the workflow in house, to outsourcing parts of the process to achieve maximum efficiency. This pro…

Dr. Özgür Erdogan

Sinus floor elevation (SFE) is a well-accepted surgical procedure for the treatment of the atrophic posterior maxillary alveolar bone. The original technique, lateral window SFE, was introduced almost 4 decades ago and it has evolved through years resulting in modified methods such as transcrestal SFE. Although SFE using both lateral window and transcrestal approaches is a predictable surgical procedure with low complication rates and high survival rates, complications and failures are anticipated like as with all kind surgical procedures. This webinar will address common and uncommon intraoperative and postoperative complications associated with SFE and will discuss their management along with preventative measures and treatment strategies.

Team Communication, treatment planning and execution represent the 3 pillars of interdisciplinary Implant therapy.

Prof. Frauke Müller

When tooth loss occurs later in life, ageing and multimorbidity impact dental treatment decisions. There is sufficient evidence to state that the mandibular implant overdenture is a well-established treatment modality, certainly in non-dependent edentulous individuals, but little is known on the very old and geriatric edentulous patients with comorbidities. They often present unfavourable anatomical conditions and effects of the multiple medications for their chronic conditions. The present webinar therefore describes the use of minimal-invasive and simple treatment concepts for elderly, edentulous patients and discusses the risks of implant placement that are related to their medical conditions. It further highlights possible complications which may arise with the onset of dependency and/or frailty and advises further simplification of the implant-restorations when needed. Recall and maintenance in this group of patients is crucial to assure the patients’ benefit from the intervention

Dr. Martin Schimmel

The use of osseointegrated implants for the stabilization of mandibular complete dentures is one of the great achievements in modern dentistry. It is well documented in the literature that the stabilization of lower dentures with two implants reduces peri-implant bone atrophy, increases chewing efficiency, reduces masseter muscle atrophy, and improves the patient’s oral health related quality of life significantly. Diagnostic prerequisites for backward planning as well as the use of two-piece as well as small diameter one-piece implants will be considered. In an approach that considers the general functional capacity and possible functional decline of the elderly edentulous patient a staged approach for the choice overdentures attachments will be discussed.

Dr. Ryan Lewis DMD, MSD

Dr. Phil Walton

Amidst various technologies and treatment options for replacement of one’s tooth, dental implants have become the standard of care in present day practice.

Prof. em. Dr. Daniel Buser DDS

The implant surface is a key factor for the long-terem stability of dental implants. Today, hybrid design implants are clearly prefered by our team, such as Tissue Level Implants. They have a hydrophilic, micro-rough implant surface for the endosseous portion of the jaw to optimize implant anchorage. The best documented micro-rough implant surface is SLActive. In the neck area, a machined, smooth implant surface is present in the transrestal area to promote a healthy peri-implant mucosa with long-term stability

Dr. Julia-Gabriela Wittneben

The possibilities and expectations of achieving a successful functional and esthetic outcome have been raised with the evolution of implant designs, prosthetic components and dental materials. Even after a successful surgical approach, the prosthodontic finalization remains challenging. The overall focus of this webinar will remain on the selection of implant abutments more specifically, focusing on different indications, materials and abutment types. Especially the selection of implant abutments in the esthetic zone seems still challenging and has an influence on the final esthetic result. This will be highlighted also in respect to the evidence concerning retention type (screw versus cement). All aspects of the lecture will be presented with reference to contemporary literature and clinical studies. The objective of this lecture is therefore to provide a summary of the clinical evidence which is of relevance to the practitioners perspective of implant prosthetic treatment

Anthony Deliberato DDS

In this course Dr. Deliberato will discuss his approach with patients who are faced with the loss of their dentition. He will review the treatment option available to the patient and discuss the steps necessary to work up the case properly. Cases will…

Prof. DDr. Gabor Tepper

Advancing immediacy in your daily practice. 3200 implants later. My clinical journey with the BLX implant.

James Angelone

In this webinar James will show you from start to finish a fully guided Smile In A Box.

Prof. Michel Dard , Dr. Susy Linder

In this webinar, Dr. Susy Linder and Prof. Michel Dard will present the clinical decision-making process following tooth extraction, including different clinical cases. The factors considered in these workflows are related to timing, surgical and prosthetic procedures, biomaterials, costs effectiveness and patients reported outcomes.

Dr. Leandro Soeiro Nunes

Patient with a failing dentition and edentulous patients are a challenging situation in the daily practice. The rehabilitation of these patients must restore masticatory function, phonetic functions, esthetic aspects and in the end improve the quality of the life of this population.

Dr. Leon Pariente , Dr. Karim Dada

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

Dr. Barbara Sobczak

The lecture will present fully digital treatment protocol for the immediate full-arch restoration using selected cases and Sobczak Concept® with Straumann Pro Arch.

Dr. Charlotte Stilwell

Removable dentures have a long-standing record as prosthodontic solutions to tooth loss. They offer specific advantages where esthetic and functional indications exist for replacement of both missing teeth and hard and soft tissue volume.

Dr. Alex Fibishenko

Pro-Arch using BLX implant offers many benefits practically as well as biologically. Dr Fibishenko will examine the definition of success beyond osseointegration, and the ABC’s of ensuring the we meet our patients expectations irrespective of how complex the anatomy or clinical presentation might be

Dr. Sergio Piano

BLX implants represent the best way to face immediate implant placement and immediate loading. Thanks to computer-guided surgery, these procedures are being further implemented in terms of precision, predictability and high-quality outcomes, especially with regard to favorable esthetic results.

Joan Pi-Anfruns DMD , Dr. David Lipton

Dr. Jeanette Chua

Achieving excellent esthetics with implants in the anterior zone is expected by all and yet this often leads to multiple grafting procedures at a high cost for patients. This lecture will demonstrate why immediate implant placement and provisionalization (IIPP) can simplify treatments and reduce the number of surgeries.
