Retrospective Evaluation of Crestal Bone Changes Around Implants With Reduced Abutment Diameter Placed Non-Submerged and at Subcrestal Positions: The Effect of Bone Grafting at Implant Placement
One method to measure the success of dental implant treatment is to evaluate marginal peri-implant bone-level changes and stability over time. The location of the fixture–abutment interface (FAI) can be of major importance when the goal is to construct esthetic restorations. In these situations the FAI is often placed in a more apical position to create an ideal emergence profile for the prosthetic construction. However, several animal studies have reported that placement of the FAI in a subcrestal position may result in peri-implant marginal bone loss. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of bone grafting of the defect between the bone crest and the coronal aspect of the implant for implants with reduced abutment diameters placed non-submerged and in subcrestal positions.

Immediate Implant Placement with GBR Using Alloplast
Presented here is a case report wherein guided bone regeneration was done simultaneously at the time of immediate implant placement to achieve a desirable outcome.

Alloplastic Bone Substitutes Around Dental Implants
The repair of osseous defects has been a goal in dentistry for many decades. Subsequently, within the last several years, there has been an emergence of a new class of materials in dentistry referred to as synthetic bone. Finding the ideal bone substitute material has been the goal of researchers for many years. In attempting to achieve this ideal material, dental practitioners have tried with varying degrees of success: autogenous and demineralized freeze-dried bone, allografts of plastic, carbon…

Allograftic Bone Block in a Complex Augmentation Case in the Maxilla
Dr. Sivan Kars outlines his approach to utilizing an allograft bone block to reconstruct a severely resorbed area around a maxillary first premolar extraction site.

Titanium Mesh Assisted 3-Dimensional Mandibular ridge Augmentation
In this surgical clinical video, Dr. Dong Seok Sohn describes the utilization of Titanium Mesh to create and maintain a space in the 3-dimensional augmentation of a deficient posterior mandibular ridge. Demonstration of flap design and management, recipient site preparation in addition to the manipulation and fixation of the mesh is shown in great detail.

Microsurgical Soft Tissue Reconstruction for Teeth & Implants - Part 1 of 2
This presentation is focused in the importance of soft tissue grafting techniques around teeth and implants and how to do it in a predictable, modern and a minimally invasive way. We present many different techniques illustrated with clinical cases.

A Defined Algorithm for Regenerative Success Part 2
These presentations will focus open the above concepts but prioritize the diagnostic phase and surgical common denominators required for a successful regenerative outcome. Flap design, space maintenance, bone and membrane selections and tension free closure provides the template for all the new age materials and technologies to be successful in clinical practice.

Rehabilitation of the Extreme Atrophic Jaws
In this lecture you will learn several alternatives for the full arch rehabilitation of the jaws with different degrees of resorption. Several cases will be presented step-by-step with high-quality pictures for each technique explained. The main goals are to avoid complex regeneration procedures, to avoid zigomatic surgery and to still be able to perform immediate loading in the most compromised scenarios. All-on-Four technique, palatal approach technique, pterygoid implants and the most recent Subperiosteal Implants are some of the key-concepts presented.

Recombinant Platelet Derived Growth Factors in Regenerative Therapies: No Blood Required
This presentation will go into detail about the different types of growth factors, comparisons of other biologics such as PRP, PRF, rhPDGF, PDGF, Amnion tissue, Emdogain and how you can incorporate these into your practice to increase clinical success. Much emphasis on piblished literature review as well as clinical cases.
