Marginal Bone Loss & Periimplantitis
The main objective of this lecture is to discuss in detail the rules to avoid periimplantitis and marginal bone loss in daily practice. Simply put, placing implants according to mucosa thickness including the one abutment one time protocol for predictable and consistently successful results to avoid SLA contamination on the implant.

Simplified Implant Solutions for Tooth Replacement in the Delayed Ridge
This video highlights delayed placement of a 2nd premolar implant after 4 months following bone grafting with mineralized irradiated allograft bone.

Digital Workflow in Everyday Surgical and Restorative Implant Therapy
Integrating digital technology into the surgical and restorative workflow is an evolving protocol in clinical practice. This presentation will outline the most recent digital technologies available to clinicians and how they may be integrated efficiently into everyday practice. Limitations and gaps in the workflow will also be discussed.

Revolutionary Dental Implant Material Technology: Trabecular Metal
To date, enhancement to implant surface technology has been evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Trabecular Metal has changed all that. This is because Trabecular Metal allows for true bone 'in-growth' rather than just on-growth. This webinar will highlight, in detail, this new implant surface technology, related literature, as well as its enhancing effect on current clinical implant protocols. In addition, techniques for immediate provisionalization of this implant will also be covered in an accompanying surgical video.

Conservative Treament of the Edentulous Mandible
This presentation includes a candid discussion of the oral health care needs of the approximately 40 million edentulous adults in the USA. Many of these patients cannot afford or are too debilitated to have extensive oral care. There are several extensive and very expensive treatments for these patients that are currently being heavily promoted by companies and the lay press.

A GRAFT-LESS Approach to Implant Dentistry
Vertical bone augmentation techniques are more invasive and success rates often vary according to the surgical expertise of the clinician. There has been a trend over time towards minimally invasive treatment options in implant dentistry. This approach attempts to avoid more complicated procedures involving bone augmentation for implant placement. This presentation discusses a “graft less” treatment philosophy that emphasizes the use of less demanding augmentation techniques for the purpose of placing short implants in atrophic posterior sites.

Healing of Osseotite Implants- After 2 months
A growing number of clinical studies show that early (2 months) and immediate loading protocols may be predictable. However, they are based on clinical stability only. The aim of this case report was to document the osseointegration status of two Osseotite implants after 2 months of healing in soft bone corresponding to type IV and subjected to two distinct mechanical environments. A completely edentulous patient received a total of 11 Osseotite implants in the mandible. Six were immediately loaded…

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.

Teeth First: A novel surgical treatment concept for the edentulous, acquired Class III, severely atrophied maxilla
Extreme atrophy of the edentulous maxilla still represents a challenge as far as prosthetic rehabilitation with implant-supported fixed (screw-type) prostheses is concerned. This is due not only to insufficient bone volume for implant placement but also to unfavorable three-dimensional inter-maxillary relationships that is caused by the pattern of bone resorption in the maxilla. In the scientific literature, there are few clinical studies describing the use of the Le Fort I osteotomy, as a 1 or 2 stage procedure, for the reconstruction of a three dimensionally severely atrophied maxilla, prior to implant placement.
