Extra-Wide Diameter Short Implants in the Posterior Region
Dr. Maurice Salama discusses and demonstrates the applications and nuances of successful utilization of extra-wide diameter short implants in the posterior mandible for molar replacement.

Multidisciplinary Management of the Complex Patient: Team Croatia Approach
Dentistry has benefited in many ways with advances in digital technology. Lectures about digital dentistry are usually showing in many terabytes and animations effortless protocols. Daily we face problems like data loss, reduced visibility and irrigation with surgical guides, difficulties with edentulous jaw scanning and alignment to name only some of them. Obstacles that we find in a daily practice on the way to the digital dentistry for the full arch implant reconstruction are shown in this lecture.

Surgical Bioengineering in the Management of the Atrophic Jaw
This lecture presentation will describe the behavior and utilization of of fresh frozen allograft vs. autogenous bone in major bone augmentation cases. The advantages and disadvantages as well as the potential of adding bone marrow aspirate to fresh frozen bone will be further highlighted. In depth review of how to manage and use this new technique in clinical practice will be clearly explained.

Methods of Determining Implant Stability and Scientific Loading Criteria
There can always be difficulties in determining the osseointegration status when an implant is to be loaded with the prosthesis. Nevertheless, it is vital to know whether the implant is stable. Research today demonstrates that implants can be subject to immediate or early loading, but there were no objective standard methods of determining implant stability which will be very helpful criteria for immediate or early loading. In this lecture, the current scientific loading criteria and decision making process for the immediate or early loading will be presented with clinical cases and reliable scientific data such as Resonance Frequency Analysis, implant design that reinforced stability, Insertion torque value, evaluation of bone density and patient’s parafunction. Dr. Park and his colleagues are dedicated to finding and promoting a reliable and scientifically viable protocol for loading implant in more predictable time frame

The Anatomical Foundation of Implant Surgery
Knowledge of Surgical Anatomy is a critical foundation for any clinician involved in implant dentistry. In order for dentists to perform safe and successful bone grafting, implant surgery as well as effectively manage complications, they must first be well versed in the fundamentals of Surgical Anatomy of the head region with emphasis on the Maxilla, Mandible, as well as the roof and floor of the mouth. This Dentalxp presentation, in part, describes the objectives of one component of a comprehensive hands-on surgical Anatomy course being offered live in partnership with Dentalxp. This section emphasizes the Surgical Anatomy of the Maxilla and Maxillary Sinus as an example of what is covered in one section of the course lectures.

Immediate Loading in Implant Dentistry - Coherent Clinical Application in Everyday Practice
Dr. Henry Salama will outline clinical protocols to facilitate efficient, successful and predictable application of immediate loading protocols for single unit replacement as well as fully edendulous patients.

Microsurgical Soft Tissue Reconstruction for Teeth & Implants - Part 2 of 2
Esthetics plays a key role in a modern society and the average dental health of the population is improving every day. In such environment, the demands of dental treatments are different and dentists should approach their patients in a different way: they should be prepared to implement different and modern techniques around teeth and implants. Soft tissue grafting techniques provide the dentist with an armamentarium that makes possible to prevent and solve many problems and complications around teeth and implants, making more predictable the treatments results. This presentation is focused in the importance of soft tissue grafting techniques around teeth and implants and how to do it in a predictable, modern and a minimally invasive way. We present many different techniques illustrated with clinical cases.

Astra Tech OsseoSpeed 3.0 S Implant
Reduced-diameter implants help manage narrow edentulous spaces.

Root Fracture During Insertion of Prefabricated Posts
The consequence of inappropriate post selection and/ or hasty insertion can result in tooth fracture and/or loss. It has been demonstrated that conical or parallel sided post design has a direct effect on root fracture during post insertion. However, during experimentation it became apparent that root size and its relationship to post size had a direct effect on root fracture. This article correlates root size, post size, and fracture rate during insertion of prefabricated posts.

Root submergence technique as a partial extraction therapy to preserve the alveolar ridge tissues: A systematic review and appraisal of the literature
The loss of alveolar ridge volume as a result of tooth extraction has been noted in the literature since the 1960s.1-3 The full extent of why this happens is still not entirely understood,4 with a widely accepted explanation for the loss relating to factors that include trauma the extraction socket as a wound sees upregulation of inflammatory processes, resultant activation of osteoclastic activity, resorption of the extraction socket, and an eventual healing that typically results in loss of tissue volume and architecture.5 Second, bundle boned removal of the tooth results in periodontal ligament (PDL) fibers being severed, loss of Sharpey fibers that insert into bundle bone, and a subsequent loss of the mineralized bone layer that lines the alveolus.4-6 At the buccal or facial aspect, the bone plate may consist entirely of bundle bone.
