Platform Switching Research and Clinical Decisions in Implant Therapy - Part 1
Dr. Alan Fetner discusses how he utilized a retrospective analysis of his clinical results to confirm his decision to utilize a platform switch implant design combined with subcrestal placement to optimize and stabilize osseous and esthetic soft tissue levels.

Implant Design Influence on Bone and Soft Tissue - Part 2 of 2
Dr. Carlos Araujo outlines the significance of implant design and length on the clinician’s ability to promote a stable and durable bone and soft tissue peri-implant interface.

Estética y predictibilidad en un diente anterior
En este video el Dr. Marcelo Ferrer nos muestra una técnica de expansión atraumática en un reborde alveolar atrófico.

Multiple Anterior Tooth Replacement with Trabecular Metal Implants and 3D Immediate Loading Protocols
In this clinical video, multiple hopeless severely resorbed and mobile anterior teeth are extracted and immediately replaced using CBCT and 3D planning with immediate loading protocols

The Zirconia CAD CAM Screw Retained Implant Bridge: The Future of Full Arch Implant Supported Prosthetics
This presentation will discuss the treatment planning, surgical and prosthetic/laboratory aspects of the Zirconia CAD CAM screw retained bridge. See how this prosthetic option offers many advantages over a hybrid bridge, bar overdenture, and PFM screw retained bridge.

Tissue Engineering and Platelet Derived Growth Factors: Evidence Based Therapy
Platelet derived growth factors are now routinely utilized in reconstructive therapy. This presentation describes very detailed and evidence based guidelines for clinicians interested in enhancing their abilities in tissue engineering, especially as it relates to bone augmentation.

All-On-Four Protocol - The Technique and Reality
Dr. Duello will focus on the specific clinical technique of the All On Four procedure. The webinar will introduce the indications, clinical exams, and pre-surgical preparations for All On Four.

Computer-Generated Abutment Using A Coded Healing Abutment: A Two-Year Preliminary Report
This article presents a preliminary clinical evaluation following the placement of 107 dental implants covered with computer-coded healing abutments. The healing abutment system evaluated herein provided information to specific computer software that facilitated the delivery of an anatomical definitive abutment. This system also assisted in the development of a titanium abutment whose characteristics mimicked the natural contours of the teeth being replaced. A two-year postoperative evaluation was performed to evaluate occlusion, gingival integrity, contact areas, inflammation, food impaction, porcelain integrity, radiographic condition and overall patient satisfaction. Improved tissue response and resultant aesthetics were observed.

Optimum Esthetics and Rentention with Cast-to Abutments
Progress and technological evolution is something we should all embrace since such attributes allow us to provide patients with improved care. But when is it appropriate to consider proven materials and techniques outdated and when should one move forward with the promise of better product(s) along with superior outcomes?

The Reality of Anatomy and the Triangle of Bone
“Reality of Anatomy” is a concept developed by the author to describe the anatomical relationship between the tooth, the surrounding alveolar housing, the clinical crown, the root, and other important anatomy. Most textbooks, manufacturers’ literature, journal articles, and meeting presentations describe a relationship of the tooth to bone. These illustrations are acceptable in teaching the concept of crown-to-root ratio and are useful in describing certain procedures related to implant procedures.…
