The Digital Impact on Full Arch Implant Dentistry
The expanding role of digital information has been critical in the design and establishment of an accurate full arch restoration. Likely more than most situations, digital record taking and the establishment of VDO and vertical space requirements is essential in Full Arch Therapies. This presentation will review current methodology, suggest and explain accuracy issues and tolerances when recording implant positions for the lab phase. The digital divide is becoming smaller each day and allowing unusual predictability in our restorative case flow.

Fresh Frozen Allograft Bone Plus Bone Marrow Aspiration as a NEW Alternative to Autogenous Bone Augmentation - Part 1 of 2
The lecture describes the behaviour of autogenous bone, how to handle it, its major indications and several challenging cases will be presented. In addition the peculiarities of Fresh Frozen Allograft Bone will be will thoroughly described, as the advantages of adding bone marrow aspiration.

The Relevance of Tissue Form, Color and Thickness on Anterior Implant Esthetics - Part 2 of 2
This presentation will address some of the aspects involved in the Esthetic Implant Restoration and present the initial findings of a multicentre research study.

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.

Rehabilitation of the Extreme Atrophic Jaws
In this lecture you will learn several alternatives for the full arch rehabilitation of the jaws with different degrees of resorption. Several cases will be presented step-by-step with high-quality pictures for each technique explained. The main goals are to avoid complex regeneration procedures, to avoid zigomatic surgery and to still be able to perform immediate loading in the most compromised scenarios. All-on-Four technique, palatal approach technique, pterygoid implants and the most recent Subperiosteal Implants are some of the key-concepts presented.

Advanced Bone Grafting Techniques: Part 2 - Autogenous Bone Blocks in the Reconstruction of the Atrophic Maxillary Ridge
This lecture will describe the use of autologous onlay block bone grafting for reconstruction of moderate to severe atrophic maxillary alveolar ridge. This will include a discussion of the various options to this form of grafting, such as short implants, maxillary sinus augmentation, sub-nasal elevation procedure, connective tissue grafting and soft tissue manipulation, Le-Fort I down fracture/osteotomy and the use of progenitor cells: bone marrow aspirating concentrated. A description of surgical donor harvest sites in the mandible will also be performed as well as post-op healing of these sites. Additional time will be spent reviewing causes of failure with bone blocks and implants placed into these sites.

Maintenance of Alveolar Ridge Dimensions Utilizing an Extracted Tooth Dentin Particulate Autograft and Platelet-Rich Fibrin: A Retrospective Radiographic Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Study
This study utilized radiographic comparative analysis in order to evaluate dimensional ridge changes four months after tooth extraction and immediate grafting with mineralized dentin particulate autograft and chopped platelet-rich fibrin. Fifty-eight extraction sockets with up to 2mm of missing buccal bone in the coronal aspect compared to the lingual bone were included. Graft material was covered with either a platelet-rich fibrin membrane or collagen sponge with no effort to achieve primary closure.

Improving Implant Framework
Passive fit of implant frameworks is related in part to the accuracy of the mastercast. A method of fabricating a verification stent to check the accuracy of the master cast prior to waxing and casting the implant framework is discussed. The methods utilize routinely available materials and do not require any special instrumentation or equipment. The stent can be fabricated either by the laboratory or the dentist.

Microbiology of Peri Implant Infections
It is important to understand the microbiological aspects of peri-implant disease in order to proffer appropriate treatment.
