Summary:
This article presents a reliable and consistent alternative to prosthetically restore cases with an uncertain surgical outcome or for those patients who do not want to undergo regenerative surgical procedures. The innovative hybrid prosthetic gingival restoration makes it possible to predictably achieve an excellent match between the prosthetic and natural gingiva. Understanding the indications and procedures involved with this technique requires a paradigm shift for the whole interdisciplinary team, but with considerable benefits to the patient.

Advanced Esthetic Management of Dental Implants: Surgical and Restorative Considerations to Improve Outcomes
This article demonstrates the importance of proper surgical and prosthetic principles in achieving esthetic implant
results.Successful dental implant therapy in the maxillary anterior dentition requires meticulous attention to surgical
and prosthodontic measures.
Proper diagnosis, extraction technique, implant selection, and placement significantly impact
outcomes. Respect of hard and soft tissue physiology following tooth loss and implant placement requires specific steps
be taken. Management tissue contours properly, via regenerative therapy, results in successful framing of the restoration.
Provisionalization and definitive restorative therapy also impacts the level of esthetic success.The contours of the
temporary abutment and crown develop soft tissue contours for the final restoration. Overcontouring can lead to soft
tissue recession and mucosal asymmetry. Design of the definitive crown(s) is crucial for long-term maintenance of
esthetically acceptable results.

“The Full Arch Patient”; A Fully Digital Affair
Guided Surgery (GS) is a concept where you are guided by the rehabilitation needs of your patient to perform the implant surgery procedure based on all the info that we process via planning software that are loaded with digital files coming from intra-oral scanning (IOS) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). After planning the case, we print a surgical guide or stent to perform the surgery, this technique allows us to do it flap or flapless in a complete secure environment, quicker and more precise if we compare to "freehand" surgery. However, we have to be careful because not all the systems are the same; those who use scoops as reductors are less precise than the "scoopless", no matter which system we use we have to be clear to understand that all the classic concepts of osseointegration are not erased by guided surgery, especially bone physiology.

Achieving Esthetic Results Through Restorative Solutions in Implant Dentistry
In the anterior maxilla, the rehabilitation of patients with implant supported restorations is often challenging for clinicians due to the high esthetic demand expressed by patients and anatomic limitations. This lecture will concentrate on restorative treatment guidelines to achieve esthetic results in implant dentistry. It will provide solutions to improve esthetic outcome, as well as guidelines to achieve a more predictable result. In addition, evidence-based outcomes reported in literature evaluating “Pink” implants and abutments will be discussed. This presentation will focus on the interdisciplinary relationship of the surgeon and restorative doctor for all restorative options in tooth replacement therapy.
