Parameters for Integration of Aesthetics and Function with Implant Therapy
In this detailed lecture, Dr. Sergio Rubinstein takes a clinician’s view on what are the important factors that must be considered to successfully integrate implants into everyday practice.

Connective Tissue Attachment to Dental Implants - Pt 1
A description of the latest implant surface materials and their affect on implant integration.

No Half Smiles - A Clinical Overview of Complete Care Dentistry - Part 1 of 2
Dr. Stanley presents 5 cases of full mouth rehabilitation showing how a total make over makes all the difference in patient perception of comfort and aesthetics.

Immediate Dental Implants; Are They a Good Option?
The aim of this presentation is to clarify which parameters and how can they influence a successful outcome in immediate implant placement. Several documented clinical cases and supporting literature will be presented to guide through diagnosis, treatment options and improvement of final outcome.

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.

Immediate Implants: Science and Art - Part 1 of 2
By scientific studies produced in recent years has been confirmed, in selected cases, the validity of the post-extraction implants. The use of this method implies a lower emotional impact, a single surgery and a healing often better for the patient.We will be discussed traumatic extraction methods, perfect insertion of the implants with or without bone regeneration with bone substitutes and membranes and the opportunity to combine an advanced method as immediate implant with the execution of an immediate loading to restore aesthetics in more complex cases.

Progressive Bone Adaptation of Titanium Implants During and After Orthodontic Load in Humans
The aim of the present work was the evaluation of implant stability and periimplant bone reaction by histologic and clinical evaluation after therapeutic orthodontic loads. Forty-one adult patients received titanium implants as an orthodontic anchorage device; 12 patients received a retromolar or palatal implant to obtain tooth movement. Seven implants were removed at the end of the orthodontic therapy, after 2, 4, 6, and 12 months of orthodontic load, and processed for histologic examination. It…

Restoring Facial Aesthetics and Function with Implant Overdentures
Implant supported overdentures are fast becoming the choice of treatment for edentulous patients as they provide various advantages over the conventional dentures; most importantly they are a reliable and simple solution to denture retention and stability problems. This article discusses aesthetics and function provided with implant borne Overdentures in Maxillary and Mandibular arches.

Aesthetic Enhancement of Anterior Dental Implants with the Use of Tapered Osteotomes and Soft Tissue Manipulation
As osseointegration of endosseous dental implants has become predictable and well-documented, the emphasis in dental- implant treatment has shifted from functional concerns to the achievement of long-term aesthetic results. An adequate alveolar bone base is the prerequisite for functional and aesthetically optimal reconstruction of the soft-tissue architecture. This is true for both fixed partial denture (FPD) pontic sites and dental implant sites. In patients with sufficient bone height but insufficient bone…
