One Abutment/One Time - An Evolving Protocol in Implant Therapy
Dr. Henry Salama presents a detailed and well documented clinical protocol, One Abutment/One Time, that calls for the placement of the final abutment on the day of implant placement and never removing it again.

Immediate Implants: Partial / Full Arch Rehabilitation & GBR - Part 2
By scientific studies produced in recent years has been confirmed, in selected cases, the validity of the post-extraction implants. The use of this method implies a lower emotional impact, a single surgery and a healing often better for the patient. We will be discussed traumatic extraction methods, perfect insertion of the implants with or without bone regeneration with bone substitutes and membranes and the opportunity to combine an advanced method as immediate implant with the execution of an immediate loading to restore aesthetics in more complex cases.

Critical Restorative Factors in Esthetic Implant Therapy - Part 2 of 2
Today, the achievement of a natural looking esthetic outcome is widely expected by our patients. To achieve a successful result and have it maintained over the long-term requires that the surgical as well as the prosthetic protocols are in total harmony with the peri-implant tissues. The purpose of this presentation is to critically describe the step by step key esthetically related prosthetic procedures which are performed before, during and after the surgical procedures. Provisional restorations, impression techniques, prosthetic profiles and restorative materials will be presented and their impact on the long-term esthetic outcome will also be discussed.

Complete Management of the Implant Site: From Simple Cases to Complex Situations
The health and the structure of the peri-implant tissue is vital for a long term prognosis of aesthetic and functional dental treatments. The prevalence of peri-implant diseases and recessions is a problem that must be overcome by a perfect treatment planning, along with a step-by-step design of the future restorations. When the clinician places an implant, he must consider the 3D positioning regarding the hard and soft tissue. When one decide to restore an implant, he must be aware of the gingival volume and it’s position. In this presentation, we want to show fully documented cases, from bone grafting, soft tissue enhancement, to final restorations.

Immediacy in Implant Dentistry
This lecture covers the integrated management of the immediate treatments that patients ask during consultation, using many clinical cases. It covers topics such as regeneration, surgical and prosthetic approach of the aesthetic zone, as well as immediate loading of single and full upper arch cases involving computer guided surgery.

Clinical Investigation on Axial versus Tilted Implants for Immediate Fixed Rehabilitation of Edentulous Arches: Preliminary Results of a Single Cohort Study
The aims of this study were to evaluate the clinical outcomes and patients’ satisfaction with immediately loaded full-arch fixed prostheses supported solely by axial or by a combination of axial and tilted implants in both jaws and to compare the outcome of tilted versus axial fixtures in the same patients up to 5 years. The null hypothesis was that no difference in survival rate and marginal bone level change would exist between axial and tilted implants and no difference in prosthetic survival between rehabilitation's supported only by axial implants or by a combination of axial and tilted implants.

Optimum Esthetics and Rentention with Cast-to Abutments
Progress and technological evolution is something we should all embrace since such attributes allow us to provide patients with improved care. But when is it appropriate to consider proven materials and techniques outdated and when should one move forward with the promise of better product(s) along with superior outcomes?

CT Scan Technology
Implant dentistry, one of the most predictable treatment alternatives offered to patients who are missing teeth can be enhanced by thorough pre-surgical diagnosis and treatment planning efforts by all members of the implant team. Conventional radiologic techniques including periapical and panoramic radiographs are limited by the two dimensional interpretation of existing hard and soft tissue. The inherent distortion factor can misrepresent bone topography in critical areas associated with vital anatomy or potential implant sites. Advances in diagnostic radiological techniques improved with the introduction of CT scan technology for dental applications. The enhanced diagnostic range of this evolving technology empowers the clinician with necessary tools to avoid potential complications associated with implant dentistry.
