Alternative & New Tendencies for Alveolar Reconstruction in Modern Implant Dentistry
Knowledge of bone biology and physiology are crucial for successful dento-alveolar reconstruction. The presentation will review the natural healing process of the bone and the sequence of events needed for proper regeneration. This process will then be discussed and compare with the present materials and technologies available in the market including alloplastics and allogenic materials. The role of the Stem Cells and rh-BMP2 will be exposed as part of these new trends in alveolar reconstruction for modern implant dentistry. Multiple cases will be presented demonstrating the versatility and outcomes in different clinical situations based on biological, bio-mechanics, and implant aesthetic needs.

The Digital Evolution to Simplify the Process of Implant Placement, Implant Restoration and Implant Protection
Proper treatment planning and guided implant placement will lead to an ideal prosthetic outcome. The accuracy of implant placement is crucial in a single tooth or a full arch implant cases. Digital technology is very advanced now days that allowed us to utilize the digital impression and the CBCT for our patient advantages. <br><br> This presentation will discuss the benefits of using digital dentistry to provide the best outcome for our patients.<br><br> The use of static surgical guide, full control over the custom abutment design and 3 D printed night guard for Implant protection to help achieve a predictable result for a restoratively driven treatment.<br><br>

The Socket Shield Technique - Have the Rules of the Game Changed in Aesthetic Zone Implant Therapy?
Implant therapy is in the age of being increasingly aesthetically driven, not merely restorative. With the increasing popularity of immediate implants, particularly with anterior tooth extraction, the relevance of socket changes following extraction has come to the fore. Contrary to what was originally believed, the installation of an immediate implant does not arrest bone loss, and immediate implants in the aesthetic zone are prone to recession of bone and soft tissue as a result of bundle bone resorption which is obligatory with tooth extraction.

A Graft Less Approach to Managing Ridge Deficiencies - Part 2
With advent of advanced augmentation procedures has come an increase in risk and morbidity to our patients and complications and failures for the clinician-surgeon. This presentation highlights a less invasive alternative to classic regenerative grafting techniques which include shorter, wider, narrower implants as well as bone expansion and splitting to minimize surgical risk and patient morbidity. Sinus management and crestal approaches will also be discussed.
