One-Piece Unibody Implant Replacement
Utilization of a one-piece Zimmer Unibody Implant.

Ridge Splitting and/or GBR - Maxilla vs. Mandible - Part 2 of 2
Mandibular ridge splitting has been a clinical challenge due to high density of cortical bone. Therefore, some clinicians recommends two stage approach to overcome this issue. We will also present a unique ridge splitting technique that is easy to do and predictable using one stage approach.

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

Incisor Implant in Narrow Ridge with BMP-2 Infuse and CT Graft
Dr. Paul Kozy shares an approach to the routine clinical challenge of placing an implant in a narrow ridge.

Prosthetic Soft Tissue Development From Single to Full Arch Reconstruction
In addition to surgical intervention is the creation of the specific emergence profile that is essential in the aesthetic zone. The emergence profile composed of 2 parts, the abutment and the subgingival part of the crown. The shape of abutment can be individually shaped so that it gives natural appearance and varies individually (depending on the depth, angulation and diameter of the implant). Sometimes it even dictates the implant position. From a surgical perspective, soft tissue height, position and thickness need to be diagnosed and corrected when needed. From the prosthetic point of view, the emergence profile has to be created to mimic the natural appearance and maintained over time in respect to the biological changes. The course teaches step by step how to be successful with implant prosthetics from single tooth, partially edentulous to full arch reconstruction.

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.

Cad Cam Technologies to Restore a Case on Natural Dentition & Implant
Dr Agnini will describe various clinical options and techniques for efficiently and esthetically fabricating a temporary restoration immediately after implant placement in the replacement of a single tooth.

Peri-Implant Tissue Response Following Connective Tissue and Bone Grafting in Conjunction with Immediate Single-Tooth Replacement in the Esthetic Zone
The case series evaluated the peri-implant tissue response following extraction and immediate placement and restoration of an implant in conjunction with subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and bone grafting in the esthetic zone.

Treatment Planning 2000: An Esthetically Oriented Revision of the Original Implant Protocol
The purpose of this article is to outline the blueprint for a comprehensive multidisciplinary treatment philosophy, designed for developing the foundation for optimal esthetics in implant therapy. In addition, the important synergistic relation of the osseous, gingival, and restorative triad in creating the esthetic profile is described. The need to enhance the individual components of this triad is emphasized as the basis for a revised implant protocol actualized for treating the complex partially…

The Reverse Pathway - Parameters for the Integration of Function and Aesthetics with Implants
Restorative driven implant based decision making by the surgeon will lead to the correct augmentation and implant selection for the specific needs of the patient. This "reverse pathway" approach is the protocol featured in this article to achieve excellent results and avoid complications.
