Full Arch Implant Dentistry Utilizing the Easy Guide System (FAST Guide)
In immediate loading, the survival rate is often based on the follow-up of the osseointegration but without aesthetic appreciation. The main goal is to achieve osseointegration and aesthetic with long term stability. For this success, we need to obtain both, bone formation and gum thickness, as any failure in one of the 2 factors will induce the loss of the second factor. Several requirements must be met in order to obtain and to maintain them together for a very long time; -Biological requirements are linked to early vascularization (appreciation of the biologic level, growth factors, collagen environment) -Anatomical and surgical requirements will help for the best implant placement and positioning (fast guide, sub-crestal insertion, platform switching etc...) -Prosthetic requirements are essential for aesthetic as guidance for soft tissue design (rigid and screwed prvisional prosthesis)

Consecutive Anterior Implants: Surgical and Restorative Management of Esthetic Failures - Part 2
This webinar will focus on the diagnosis and treatment design options for the implant replacement of two or more adjacent teeth in the anterior region with emphasis on preventing mid-facial and interdental tissue loss.

The Interdisciplinary Software Platform. The Key For Modern Digital Dentistry
The starting point of a facially driven interdisciplinary dental treatment plan is "The Smile Frame". A few crucial photos and steps will come together to create the ultimate template you need to communicate to your dental team, colleagues, and the patient to ultimately increase case acceptance and create the most aesthetic and functional method of rehabilitation to your patient. We will discuss how this paradigm shift of regular analog dentistry has shifted to this modern digital world and the benefits it provides.

The Zirconia CAD CAM Screw Retained Implant Bridge: The Future of Full Arch Implant Supported Prosthetics
This presentation will discuss the treatment planning, surgical and prosthetic/laboratory aspects of the Zirconia CAD CAM screw retained bridge. See how this prosthetic option offers many advantages over a hybrid bridge, bar overdenture, and PFM screw retained bridge.

Recombinant Platelet Derived Growth Factors in Regenerative Therapies: No Blood Required
This presentation will go into detail about the different types of growth factors, comparisons of other biologics such as PRP, PRF, rhPDGF, PDGF, Amnion tissue, Emdogain and how you can incorporate these into your practice to increase clinical success. Much emphasis on piblished literature review as well as clinical cases.

Simplification of the Complex Case - Restorative Efficiencies
Contemporary implant dentistry relies on a proper diagnosis, astute treatment planning with an interdisciplinary team. Vision, communication and execution are indispensable for a long term healthy esthetic outcome.

Linear Tomography in Conjuction with Pantomography in Implant Assessmnet Sites
Tomography provides a three-dimensional unobstructed and anatomically accurate picture of the region being viewed. Tomography is a radiographic technique in which a "slice" or section of a given internal body structure is imaged in a pre-determined plane. The advantage of utilizing a tomographic evaluation along with a pan tomographic survey is that the clinician may examine the exact position or depth in all three planes of visualization. This radiographic modality can also reveal the quality and…

Flapless Postextraction Socket Implant Placement, Part 2. The Effects of Bone Grafting and Provisional Restoration on Peri-implant Soft Tissue Height & Thickness - A Retrospective Study
This article presents the results of evaluating the changes in peri-implant soft tissue dimensions associated with immediate implant placement into anterior post-extraction sockets for four treatment groups: no BGPR(bone graft, no provisional restoration), PR (no bone graft, provisional restoration), BG (bone graft, no provisional restoration), and BGPR (bone graft, provisional restoration). The vertical distance of the peri-implant soft tissue was greater for grafted sites than for non-grafted ones. The facial soft tissue thickness at the gingival third was greater for grafted than for non-grafted sites and for sites with provisional restorations compared to sites without them, respectively. The net gain in soft tissue height and thickness was about 1mm. The increases in vertical and horizontal dimensions for grafted sites were between 0.5 and 1.0mm, as compared to sites with no bone graft and no provisional restoration.

Biologic Width Adjacent to Loaded Implant with Machined and Rough Collars in the Dog
Dental implant surface technology has evolved from a relatively smooth machined implant surface for osseointegration to more roughened osteoconductive surfaces. Recent studies suggest that peri-implant soft tissue inflammation with progressive bone loss (ie peri-implantitis) is becoming a prevalent condition. One possibility that could explain sucha a finding is that more bacterial plaque forms on the roughened implant and abutment surfaces, which may result in the peri-implant inflammation if the soft tissues. This study compared 36 tissue-level implants with a machined transmucosal collar to 36 implants with a relatively roughened transmucosal surface in the dog. The results demonstrated that the connective tissue contact was similar between the two implant types but that the junctional epithelium and biologic width dimensions were greater around the implants with the machined collars...
