Influence of a Nanometer-Scale Surface Enhancement on De Novo Bone Formation on Titanium Implants
In this prospective randomized controlled clinical study, small titanium implants were placed in posterior maxillae for the purpose of assessing the rate and extent of new bone development. Nine pairs of site evaluation implants were placed in posterior areas of maxillae and retrieved with trephine drills after 4 or 8 weeks of unloaded healing. The amount of bone in linear contact (%) with the implant surface was used to determine the osteoconductive potential of the implant surface. Implant surfaces…

Screw Spreading: Technical Considerations and Case Report
The spreading system is an alternative technique to the Summers osteotome. A specific screw instrument, the "spreader", achieved a controlled and standardized dilation of the bone horizontally.

Socket-Shield Technique in Immediate Implant Placement
This presentation demonstrates the use of a new approach to extraction and immediate implant placement. The Socket-Shield Technique aims to extract a tooth while maintaining the labial root segment in place. This requires a technically sensitive approach due to the need to precisely cut/drill the unwanted major portion of the tooth without disturbing the relationship of the labial segment with the labial plate of bone. The technique and supporting literature are discussed and demonstrated.

How can we best manage the Labial Aspect of Anterior Implants?
The most common complications related to treatment planning, implant surgical procedures and implant prosthetic procedures will be reviewed. Complications may start with patient evaluation, patient expectation, hard tissue volume, soft tissue thickness, implant selection and diameter. Surgical complications including bone grafting techniques, soft tissue management and 3-dimensional implant placement will be reviewed. A suggested protocol before, during and after implant placement will be suggested to optimize results.

Implant Esthetics: Recognizing Pitfalls and How to Avoid Problems
In this Webinar on Implant Esthetics, Dr Stanley describes the "No Half Smiles" philosophy that he practices. An emphasis is placed on both the clinical and technical requirements necessary for delivering consistent successful esthetic results in everyday practice. In addition, several techniques are demonstrated to make patient management through this process more efficient. As Dr. Stanley states" the challenges of getting it right are many but avoiding complications is vital to the success of our daily practice.

Immediate Implant Provisionalization: A Critical Aspect in Tissue Care and Esthetics-Part 2
The management of the hopeless tooth or an edentulous span in the Estheitc Zone is amongst the most clinically demanding procedures in tooth replacement do to the demands of tissue preservation and patient management during the healing phase. As important as the implant surgical process in these areas is the role of the immediate provisional restoration. Tissue support, emergence profile and The provisional restoration phase of implant therapy has become one of the most critical steps in immediate or delayed placement for several reasons including the following...

Full Mouth Rehabilitation: Clinical Overview a Systematic Approach
Full mouth rehabilitation is a complex subject that requires the clinician to resurrect broken and mutilated dentitions. Armed with a thorough understanding of the disease process to enable an accurate diagnosis and risk assessment that will enable a conservative treatment approach is the need of the hour. This presentation aims to take the audience through a systematic approach towards this subject and empower them with a vision that will enable them to set up the case to end it well with accurate form, predictable function and superior esthetics!
