Free Gingival Grafts - Return of the Mack
Clinicians are often encountered with soft tissue deficiencies which can compromise the long term stability of both natural teeth and dental implants. Subsequently, correct diagnosis of the nature of these deficiencies is critical in determining the appropriate treatment approach required. This lecture will focus on clinical decision making when utilizing connective tissue graft-based procedures versus free gingival grafting and apically positioned flap procedures in the treatment of gingival phenotype deficiencies around teeth and implants.

Treatment of the "Gummy Smile" Patient: Lip & Gingival Therapies
Gummy Smile (GS) or Excessive Gingival Display (EGD) is a common feature amongst the population affecting smile esthetics and self-esteem. The focus of this presentation will be disclosing the most prevalent etiologies related to EGD and proposing therapeutic strategies specific to each clinical scenario. Moreover, several clinical cases will be presented step-by-step to achieve predictability related to each etiology of EGD.

Customized Abutments: Optimizing integration of Aesthetics, Biology and Function in Implant Dentistry
The CAD/CAM technology gives us the opportunity to provide individualized restorations on implant, from the abutment to the final outcome. Using an anatomic design to support soft tissue and the cosmetic part, we can get nearer to a natural architecture, improving our implant restorations and their long term success. In the same time, a considerable evolution has been observed in the restorative materials, on both mechanical and aesthetics properties, which could be seen as an alternative to traditional materials for implant frameworks.

Full Arch Immediate Loading Using Pterygoid Implants - Part 2 of 2
Non-grafting alternatives for the rehabilitation of the Atrophic Maxilla is a growing arena in our implant patient population. The Inter-maxillary Surgical Protocol for Zygomatic Implants and its modification to Extra-maxillary techniques has been a huge advantage in the treatment of these advanced maxillary atrophy patient cases. Anatomical and X-Ray interpretation connected with the placement of Zygomatic Implants will be reviewed in great detail. Patient selection and Treatment Planning as well as Pre-Operation Patient’s Medical Condition Assessment etc. is the foundational knowledge required for treatment of these individuals. The surgical procedure and prosthetic rehabilitation aspects as well as impressions and the laboratory work will also be further highlighted.

Copy-paste concept: Full digital approach in the management of gingival emergence profiles
Obtaining a perfect integration of a prosthetic rehabilitation on natural teeth and implants in the esthetic zone requires a deep knowledge of the biological processes and a clear understanding of the characteristics of the restorative materials. Once the soft tissue profile has been created with the placement of a temporary prosthesis, the ability to accurately transfer information about the tissue profile and the contour of the restoration for the fabrication of the definitive crowns can be challenging.

Socket Shield Technique - Implantology Today
The socket shield procedure is an effective
surgical technique for implant supported
restorations. It helps in preserving the labial
bone and soft tissue architecture around
osseointegrated implants. The procedure provides
comparable or better outcomes compared
to other conventional alternatives at a
lower cost.

The “Scalloped Guide”: A Proof-of-Concept Technique for a Digitally Streamlined, Pink-Free Full-Arch Implant Protocol
Inadequate restorative space can result in mechanical, biologic, and esthetic
complications with full-arch fixed implant-supported prosthetics. As such,
clinicians often reduce bone to create clearance. The aim of this paper was
to present a protocol using stacking computer-aided design/computerassisted
manufacturing (CAD/CAM) guides to minimize and accurately
obtain the desired bone reduction, immediately place prosthetically guided
implants, and load a provisional that replicates predetermined tissue contour.
This protocol can help clinicians minimize bone reduction and place the
implants in an ideal position that allows them to emerge from the soft tissue
interface with a natural, pink-free zirconia fixed dental prostheses.

The Socket-Shield Technique: First Histological, Clinical, and Volumetrical Observations after Separation of the Buccal Tooth Segment – A Pilot Study
The “socket-shield technique” has shown its potential in preserving buccal tissues. However, front teeth often
have to be extracted due to vertical fractures in buccolingual direction. It has not yet been investigated if the socket-shield
technique can only be used with intact roots or also works with a modified shield design referring to vertical fracture lines.
The aim of this study was to assess histologically, clinically, and volumetrically the effect of separating the
remaining buccal root segment in two pieces before immediate implant placement.

Surgical Management of Third Molars
Removal of third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, continue to be prevalent in our society. Indications for removal vary from pericoronal infections to orthodontic treatment. <br><br>
Several factors such as age, position of the tooth and affected jaw can dictate the surgical technique. Proper diagnosis and management will be covered at length as well as impaction classification systems, value of imaging, instrumentation and surgical approaches. <br><br>
Post operative management and methods to recognize, avoid and treat potential complications will also be discussed.<br><br>

Expanding on Transverse Diagnosis and Maxillary Expansion
Transverse dimension diagnosis and treatment is the base for sagital and vertical corrections. Most precise diagnosis on maxillary transverse deficiency is obtained through the CBCT. Miniscrew assisted rapid maxillary expansion (Marpe) or Surgical assisted maxillary expansion are the procedures of choice in skeletal mature patients presenting maxillary transverse deficiencies. Protocols with most common type of expander will be ilustrated through clinical cases. Long term periodontal health and airways are addressed as part of this lecture.
