The Bone Reduction Template Used for Simultaneous Implant Placement and Immediate Restoration
Dr. Ganz harnesses the full power of CT Scan technology and interactive treatment planning software to fabricate a template to sufficiently reduce a knife-edge ridge, followed by immediate restoration in one visit.

Surgical Options and Solutions in Maxillary Ridge Augmentation: Advantages of Combined Therapy
This surgical video presentation will demonstrate the treatment of two advanced cases of maxillary deficiency. The emphasis of this presentation will be on combining several state-of-the-art surgical augmentation therapies to optimize dimensional increases in the deficient ridges in the maxilla in preparation of implant therapy. The two cases presented, of severe and moderate bone defects, in the Anterior Maxilla, the bone were reconstructed by using the anatomy (sub-nasal elevation), and several surgical techniques (bone augmentation, soft tissue manipulation and implant placement) in a systematic team oriented protocol (Surgeon, Restorative Dentist and Lab) to get the best esthetic results.

Understanding and Prevention of Peri-implant Recession
Dr. Gerd Körner outlines the multi-variable causes that may be responsible for recession around implant restorations.

A Defined Algorithm for Regenerative Success Part 1 of 2
These presentations will focus open the above concepts but prioritize the diagnostic phase and surgical common denominators required for a successful regenerative outcome. Flap design, space maintenance, bone and membrane selections and tension free closure provides the template for all the new age materials and technologies to be successful in clinical practice.

The Wonderful Bone Regeneration Story: Revolution, Evolution & Evaluation
With a personal approach, this lecture will take into consideration the developments of the last thirty years. Several clinical cases and new concepts like "Place, Press and Close" will be presented. After Revolutions and Evolutions, isn't it time for Evaluation of our techniques to improve Predictability and Quality of Life of our Patients?

Advances in Bone Augmentation and Related Armamentarium
The ability to predictably and successfully augment bone volume is a critical surgical and technical requirement for any clinician involved in implant dentistry. This presentation outlines the evolution of diagnostic and therapeutic protocols in bone augmentation as well as introducing new and novel biologics and armamentarium being made available for clinicians to be more efficient and efficacious in this important endeavor.

Histologic Effect of Pure-Phase Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate on Bone Regeneration in Human Artificial Jawbone Defects
The effect of the pure-phase beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) Cerasorb on bone regeneration was evaluated in hollow titanium cylinders implanted in the posterior jaws of five volunteers.

Maintenance of Alveolar Ridge Dimensions Utilizing an Extracted Tooth Dentin Particulate Autograft and Platelet-Rich Fibrin: A Retrospective Radiographic Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Study
This study utilized radiographic comparative analysis in order to evaluate dimensional ridge changes four months after tooth extraction and immediate grafting with mineralized dentin particulate autograft and chopped platelet-rich fibrin. Fifty-eight extraction sockets with up to 2mm of missing buccal bone in the coronal aspect compared to the lingual bone were included. Graft material was covered with either a platelet-rich fibrin membrane or collagen sponge with no effort to achieve primary closure.

Modified IVAN Technique: Long-Term Follow-Up of 20 Cases Over 2 to 11 Years
When natural teeth fail, frequently there is a loss of hard and soft tissue. This may complicate subsequent dental implant placement by creating insufficient bone to house the implant. This also occurs when the tooth has been missing for an extended period, especially in the premaxilla, where the bone is less dense and often lacks sufficient volume of facial bone. Site reconstruction to accommodate implant placement often requires both hard and soft tissue augmentation. The modified interpositional vascularized augmentation neogenesis (mIVAN) technique achieves the desired treatment goals in both delayed and immediate placement scenarios. The technique will be discussed as well as the long-term follow-up on 20 cases.
