Internal Hydraulic Sinus Lift Procedure utilizing the Crestal Approach
In this video case report, “conservative” internal management of posterior maxilla is highlighted featuring new tools, techniques and biologics. Evaluation and Management of the deficient posterior region is handled by via CBCT Diagnostics and the CAS-KIT Crestal Approach Sinus Kit from Hiossen. Flap Reflection, Drilling sequence, Hydraulic Sinus Lifting of the Schniderian Membrane as well as the utilization of PRGF, Fibrin and Synthetic Bone Putty is highlighted in a conservative crestal approach. This is followed by final suturing using a horizontal and running mattress method.

Contemporary Third Molar Surgery - Part 2 of 2
In this 2-part video, Dr. H. Ryan Kazemi describes the contemporary principles in third molar surgery. He presents the rational for third molar removal and discusses the surgical anatomy relevant to this common procedure. He also discusses the necessary diagnostic imaging, surgical techniques, indications for bone grafting, and management of common complications.

Partners in Synergy - The Webinar Event Augmentation Strategies in Implant Dentistry - Part 2
This lecture will highlight the current available regenerative techniques and protocols to maximize the esthetic results of tooth replacement therapy.

Partial Extraction Therapy and Immediate Loading in Clinical Practice: Synergy for Success
This presentation will focus on the application of PET techniques and immediate loading in daily practice. A brief introduction will be presented outlining the concepts, and the benefits in combining both techniques. This will be followed with a review of clinical cases ranging from single unit to full arch implant rehabilitations. Lastly, recommendations will be presented to the viewer in order to facilitate incorporation of these techniques into clinical practice.

Bone Augmentation & Vascular Enhancement Concepts: It’s Time to Make it Simple!
The purpose of this presentation is to make the participant think biology first and not mechanic first. A biological thinking will dramatically simplify vertical and/or horizontal bone augmentation procedures. We will also be introducing a new approach for the simplification of soft tissue handling: the Soft Brushing Technique, that will allow the coronal advancement of both buccal and lingual flaps, but also the palatal flap without the need for periosteal releasing incisions.

New Concepts in the Management of the Deficient Posterior Maxilla
Poor bone quality and anatomic deficiencies have traditionally limited posterior maxillary tooth replacement. The goal of this presentation is to discuss advantages of contemporary treatment options, instruments and materials that have been developed to overcome the common challenges that the clinician encounters when planning for posterior maxillary implant rehabilitation. Advantages, limitations, and realistic short- and long-term expectations will be discussed.

Physical And Chemical Properties Of Commercially Available Mineralized Bone Allograft
Bone graft materials are critical to the success of dental implants when there is a need to increase the volume of bone in a defect. The surface properties of these graft materials will have a profound impact on the outcome of the graft procedure. The clinician has many choices of bone graft substitutes when augmenting bony deficits. Allograft bone is the most widely used class of bone graft substitutes. Within this class there are a number of different bone allografts, which are manufactured utilizing widely varying processing techniques. There also appears to be a wide range of results in the published literature across the spectrum of different bone allografts. This in-vitro study evaluated chemical and surface properties of five different commercially available mineralized bone allografts.

Reconstruction of Damaged Fresh Sockets by Connective-Bone Sliver Graft From the Maxillary Tuberosity, to Enable Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration - A Clinical Case
This paper describes a procedure for immediate loading of an implant following tooth extraction, in a socket presenting severe damage to the vestibular bone plate and gingival recession in the region of the upper central incisors. The procedures of extraction of the tooth, immediate insertion of the implant, connective- bone graft from the maxillary tuberosity and immediate restoration were shown to be a predictable treatment alternative. These procedures led to restoration of the tooth, bone and gingival structures in a single surgical stage and to maintenance of the favorable esthetic and functional result 24 months afterwards.

Atrophic Posterior Maxillan and Mandible: Alveolar Ridge Reconstruction with Mandibular Block Autografts
Autogenous bone grafts have been used for many years for alveolar ridge augmentation and are still considered to be the gold standard for jaw reconstruction. The use of these grafts with osseointegrated implants was originally discussed by Brånemark et al., who used the iliac crest as the donor site. For repair of most localized alveolar defects, however, bone grafts from the mandible offer advantages over iliac crest grafts. These include the proximity of donor and recipient sites, convenient surgical access, decreased donor site morbidity and decreased cost. This article focuses on posterior maxillary and mandibular osseous augmentation in a staged approach for implant placement. Both horizontal and vertical deficiencies are addressed with the use of symphysis and ramus buccal shelf donor block bone via case presentations.
