3D Optical Scanning Protocols in Immediate Implant Loading: From the Scan to Plan to Delivery
This video will highlight the critical and evolving role of Dual Scanning in Immediate tooth replacement and loading in the posterior maxilla.

Extraction Site Management
The biological rational for making clinical decisions relative to the requirement for grafting or the benefits of flapless implant protocols.

Tissue Engineering and Platelet Derived Growth Factors: Evidence Based Therapy
Platelet derived growth factors are now routinely utilized in reconstructive therapy. This presentation describes very detailed and evidence based guidelines for clinicians interested in enhancing their abilities in tissue engineering, especially as it relates to bone augmentation.

Immediate Dental Implants; Are They a Good Option?
The aim of this presentation is to clarify which parameters and how can they influence a successful outcome in immediate implant placement. Several documented clinical cases and supporting literature will be presented to guide through diagnosis, treatment options and improvement of final outcome.

Introduction to Osseointegration and Modern Implant Dentistry: Part 2 of 2
This introduction gives a brief history of implant dentistry and the foundation of the modern era based on osseointegration. The principles of osseointegration will be outlined along with a detailed review of the healing sequence associated with it and how that directly influences clinical decisions. In addition, a review is presented of implant biomaterials and surfaces and how they influence the process of osseointegration.

Clinical and Esthetic Outcomes of the Surgical Veneer Grafting Protocol in the Anterior Maxilla
A multicenter cohort clinical investigation evaluated the change in horizontal ridge dimension associated with immediate placement and provisionalization in anterior extraction sockets. Following the surgical veneer grafting (SVG) protocol, a combination of a bone and connective tissue graft (CTG) was performed in 37 patients to compensate for the natural hard and soft tissue remodeling to achieve a sustainable and predictable esthetic outcome in patients with a thing gingival phenotype. The patients were followed for an average of 39 months (range of 10 to 58 months). At the four-year recall, 61% of the fixtures were evaluated. All 37 implants were successfully integrated, demonstrating stable and healthy peri-implant soft tissues as documented by standard clinical parameters. The results showed an average volume gain of 0.68 mm in the tissue zone, compared to the initial situation.

The Socket-Shield Technique: First Histological, Clinical, and Volumetrical Observations after Separation of the Buccal Tooth Segment – A Pilot Study
The “socket-shield technique” has shown its potential in preserving buccal tissues. However, front teeth often have to be extracted due to vertical fractures in buccolingual direction. It has not yet been investigated if the socket-shield technique can only be used with intact roots or also works with a modified shield design referring to vertical fracture lines. The aim of this study was to assess histologically, clinically, and volumetrically the effect of separating the remaining buccal root segment in two pieces before immediate implant placement.
