Regenerative Dental and Facial Rejuvenation: The Essential Role of Growth Factors
The potential of plasma rich in growth factors is well-documented in different medical fields to improve tissue regeneration and to minimize pain, inflammation and morbidity resulted from a surgical intervention. In this presentation we will discuss the potential of this endogenous therapy in the treatment of post-extraction socket and in the field of facial rejuvenation of the peri-oral region.

Papilla Regeneration in Patients with Gummy Smile
A lost interdental papilla is difficult to regenerate. Only a few successful case reports have been published and there are no studies reporting a predictable technique to reconstruct the papilla. In this presentation we talk about the biological determinants of gingival papilla. We show different clinical cases ranging from simple cases, where papilla preservation techniques are applied, to complex cases of patients with gingival smile where we apply papilla regeneration techniques.

Crestal Approach Sinus Augmentation with Osteotome Technique and Cartridge Delivery System
There are several ways to elevate the sinus membrane when accessed through the crest of the ridge and deliver graft into the sinus. Summers’ osteotome technique is one of the most widely used surgical procedures to achieve sinus elevation. One of the biggest challenges is instrumentation and grafting through the prepared osteotomy site. In this video, Dr. Kher will demonstrate the new cartridge delivery system from NovaBone that considerably reduces site preparation and facilitates elevation of the sinus membrane with the hydraulic pressure of Putty as it is delivered into the sinus.

Total Rehabilitation of the Edentulous Patient with the All-on-4® treatment concept
A fixed implant supported prosthesis is the ideal treatment option for the edentulous patient and those facing the imminent loss of their remaining dentition. Through innovation, along with continuous clinical and scientific research, it has become possible to treat virtually every edentulous case with a highly functional and esthetic fixed solution. The oral rehabilitation of these patients has two stages: surgical and prosthetic. The surgical protocol follows the All-on-4® treatment concept - an innovative technique developed in the early 90’s at the MALO CLINIC that allows for immediate function, full-arch, implant supported prosthetics.

Managing the Extraction Site - Optimal Preservation and Enhancement Techniques
There is rarely a day that clinicians do not have to deal with an extraction site. If implant therapy is a consideration, then bone and soft tissue quantity and quality must be factored into treatment options. The ideal opportunity for bone preservation exists at the time of tooth extraction. All too often this opportunity is lost. Extraction techniques will be demonstrated that not only preserve but augment the amount of alveolar bone. The importance of piezosurgery, atraumatic surgical technique, the use of bone grafts, resorbable membranes and growth factors will be elucidated along with soft tissue enhancement.
