The mIVAN Approach for Preservation Surgery
mIVAN* Technique is a nice abbreviation for complicated terminus: “ Modified Interpositional Augmentation Neogenesis”. It is basically simultaneous hard and soft tissue augmentation utilizing pediculated connective tissue graft. It works for Socket type 2 and 3 and ridges with horizontal atrophy. Combined with Partial Extraction Therapy, mIVAN technique is a nice treatment choice for the teeth with recessions. 

Simultaneously Autologous Bone Grafting, Sinus Augmentation Procedure, Implant Placement & Immediate Provisionalization
A unique presentation of a combined surgical techniques and implants provisionalization, simultaneously performed, in the anterior maxilla. With the aid of computerized assisted guides, a surgical template and a temporary bridge for immediate temporization was prepared.

3D Bone Ridge Augmentation; What Are The Limits?
This lecture will underline some of the critical aspects to achieve success in bone augmentation procedures is predictable basis. Moreover, the importance of digital planning to understand the anatomical challenges and anticipate the final clinical outcome will also be highlighted. One pillar of the presentation will be the introduction of new biomaterials and strategies to favor a faster surgery with less complications. The presenter will also discuss his understanding of what lay before us in terms of the next steps in a biological era of regeneration.

Ridge Expansion, GBR & Meshes: Decision Making in Clinical Practice
A variety of bone augmentation procedures are currently available at use to the clinician. Techniques of variable complexity can essentially yield favorable results. The choice of technique to utilize however, is often based on defect site presentation and operator comfort level. This presentation will focus on the use of ridge expansion, guided bone regeneration (GBR), and titanium mesh. Merits and indications of each technique will be discussed, and clinical cases will be presented that showcase the decision making process involved in treatment planning.

Managing Esthetic Implant Complications
Dental implant success today is judged not only by osseointegration but also by bone, tissue stability and of course long term esthetic results. Cosmetic predictability can often be difficult to attain, and esthetic implant failures can be multifactorial and patient management issues. Once esthetic implant failures occur, many cannot be fully corrected. Some complications must be addressed by an interdisciplinary dental team. In this summary of case reports, surgical considerations are provided, including cases of facial asymmetry/recession due to facial implant placement or bone loss resulting from technique/treatment failures, as well as papillary deficiencies. Restorative considerations for correcting failures are also discussed.

Simultaneous Autogenous Block Grafting and Implant Placement: A Predictable and More Efficient Method to Augment the Buccal Bone
This lecture will give you all the necessary guidelines and surgical pearls associated with simultaneous bone block and immediate implant placement as well as deal with any complications should they arise.

Minimally Invasive Technique for the Atrophic Jaw Rehabilitation with a Reduced Number of Implants
THE PURPOSE OF THIS LECTURE IS TO PRESENT AN ALTERNATIVE TECHNIQUE TO NORMAL SINUS LIFT IN THE UPPER JAW AND BONE GRAFT IN THE MANDIBLE WITH MINIMAL INVASIVE APPROACH TO REDUCE BIOLOGICAL COSTS , WITHOUT BONE REGENERATION WITH IMMEDIATE LOADING , IMMEDIATE AESTHETIC AND IMMEDIATE FUNCTION.

Biologics in Regeneration: What Is Their Impact on Periodontal and Dental Implant Surgery?
This article discusses in detail the origins, differences and benefits of RECOMBINANT PDGF vs Autologous Platelet Concentrates in Periodontal & Implant Surgery.

Maximizing Aesthetics in the Deficient Alveolar Ridge
This article will present a predictable method for replacing the lost bone prior to implant placement through the ramus block graft technique.

Reconstruction of a Single-Tooth Traumatic Defect in the Anterior Maxilla Using the Khoury Bone Plate Graft
Trauma to teeth and the dentoalveolar process may result in a ridge defect that precludes straightforward implant therapy of the patient. Typically bone and soft tissue augmentation of the area would first be needed to adequately prepare the tissues for the implant and its restoration..Grafting of the site is substantially more difficult in cases where the ridge also lacks adequate height, and techniques to recreate a bony envelope to apply guided bone regeneration may be required. Moreover, defects in the anterior aesthetic zone that require both bone and soft tissue grafting and a restoration that harmonizes the adjacent pink and white aesthetics may be an even more significant challenge to the restorative team. Hereafter a case of trauma to an anterior maxillary tooth that saw destruction of the ridge is presented, with the defect reconstructed to accommodate a functional and aesthetically pleasing implant supported restoration.
