Summary:
Nowadays, implantology is a predictable area and well-accepted by scientific community for missing
or doubtful prognosis tooth reposition. More than 30 years ago, Brånemark and col. published the
first articles that presented implantology as a safe and predictable method to rehabilitate edentulous
patients if a standard protocol is performed, in which one of the key factors were the time the implant
was submerged until loading (3 months for the jaw and 6 months to the maxilla)(Bränemark 1977).
Years later, Albrektsson establishes a success criteria for every treatment involving implants, where
implants should be absent of mobility, pain, radioluscence around the implant, and the bone loss
should never be more than 1,5 mm and 0,2 mm per year (Albrektsson 1986).
Although this is a prevailing criteria, at that time treatment involving implants were mainly functional
and aesthetics were at most at the time not a mandatory requirement. Smith et al. just three years
later established that aesthetic have also an important role on a successful implant treatment (Smith
1989).
For that there are some golden rules that every implantologist should manage in order to achieve predictable
results on the aesthetic zone and in this article there will be described ten rules that everyone
should consider:

Developing Optimal Peri-Implant Papillae within the Esthetic Zone: Guided Soft Tissue Augmentation
Osseointegrated dental implants have enjoyed long-term success in the rehabilitation of totally edentulous patients. Every aspect of traditional treatment planning protocols continues to be re-evaluated and updated to better incorporate the benefits of osseointegration into clinical practice. This is particularly evident as dentistry has committed to fully integrating this approach into the more varied and demanding environment of the partially edentulous patient. Along with the many benefits of added predictability and enhanced options, the ever-evolving role of osseointegrated implants in the treatment pf the partially edentulous jaw has also created new challenged. Unlike the fully edentulous individual who maintains the implant-restorative interface beyond the lip perimeter, many partially edentulous patients undergo the transition within the esthetic zone.

Recombinant Human Platelet– Derived Growth Factor: A Systematic Review of Clinical Findings in Oral Regenerative Procedures
The use of
recombinant human plateletderived
growth factor–BB (rhPDGF)
has received Food and Drug
Administration approval for the
treatment of periodontal and
orthopedic bone defects and dermal
wound healing. Many studies
have investigated its regenerative
potential in a variety of other oral
clinical indications. The aim of this
systematic review was to assess the
efficacy, safety, and clinical benefit
of recombinant human plateletderived
growth factor (rhPDGF) use
for alveolar bone and/or soft tissue
regeneration. Based on the
clinical evidence, rhPDGF is safe and
provides clinical benefits when used
in combination with bone allografts,
xenograft, or β-TCP for the treatment
of intrabony and furcation periodontal
defects and gingival recession or
when used with allografts or xenograft
for GBR and ARP.

Managing Esthetic Implant Complications
Dental implant success today is judged not only by osseointegration but also by bone, tissue stability and of course long term esthetic results. Cosmetic predictability can often be difficult to attain, and esthetic implant failures can be multifactorial and patient management issues. Once esthetic implant failures occur, many cannot be fully corrected. Some complications must be addressed by an interdisciplinary dental team. In this summary of case reports, surgical considerations are provided, including cases of facial asymmetry/recession due to facial implant placement or bone loss resulting from technique/treatment failures, as well as papillary deficiencies. Restorative considerations for correcting failures are also discussed.

The Evolving Role of Soft Tissue Enhancement in Esthetic Reconstructive Dentistry - Part 1 of 3
Soft tissue grafting techniques, new regenerative materials and bioactivators will be highlighted. The expanding role of allograft materials (Perioderm), platelet rich in growth factors (PRGF, PRF), and when to utilize them will be suggested. The ability of these combined protocols to alter the soft tissue profile around natural teeth, implants, and dentulous ridges, will be reviewed as to its critical role in "Complete Esthetics".

Positive & Negative Factors in Stem Cells & Wound Healing: Solutions for Long Term Stability
The main factor for soft and hard tissue healing is the speed and quality of new vascularization.
This lecture will present all the positive and negative factors who control the angiogenesis, blood supply and bone metabolism:
-Biological factors as vit. D and cholesterol have to be checked before the surgery
-The management of the flaps with sutures is one the main factor for the bone and soft tissue maintenance..
-The soft brushing technique is a new technique which increases the flap without periosteal incision nor bleeding.
-Careful Implant placement without too much torque, specially in cortical bone or grafted bone at the re-entry..
-The A-PRF liquid and i-PRF are solutions to reduce the mobility of the granules (sticky bone) with an improvement of angiogenesis
The use of growth factors is a stimulation of angiogenesis.
The prevention of the negative factors will allow us to achieve the long term stability.

Current Concepts in Bioactivity and Regeneration
In this lecture, tips on how to deal with the different types of extraction socket, mostly infected, will be presented. The use of plasma rich in growth factors and the Endoret® (PRGF®) fibrin membrane is a key factor to enhance socket regeneration, post-operative recovery and minimize/treat complications.

Modern Implant Dentistry: Rules of Engagement in the Esthetic Zone - Part 1 of 2
This presentation will focus on the interdisciplinary relationship of the restorative dentist, periodontist and orthodontist to reconstruct the soft tissue foundation for all of these restorative options in anterior tooth replacement. The diagnosis of deficiencies as well as the varied treatment options will be discussed in detail. This includes periodontal crown lengthening, esthetic periodontal plastic soft tissue grafting procedures as well as prescription adjunctive orthodontic tooth movement to manipulate the soft tissue foundation prior to or subsequent with the restorative options of implants, bridges, or pontic replacement.
