Fair Lawn, NJ

Description

Immediate implant placement in fresh extraction sockets, with or without immediate provisionalization, is a well-documented treatment concept in contemporary oral implantology. Achieving adequate primary stability is critical in these clinical situations and is influenced by implant macrodesign, particularly in the apical region. While pronounced thread structures can enhance primary stability, coronal and mid-body threading in healed sites with limited ridge dimensions may increase the risk of soft tissue complications when peri-implant bone support is insufficient. This course examines an implant design concept that combines apically located threads for primary stability with a smooth, non-threaded implant body extending coronally to prosthetic platform. This design aims to reduce the need for lateral hard and soft tissue augmentation in narrow or knife-edge shaped alveolar ridges. Throughclinical case presentations, participants will explore indications, biological considerations, and surgical workflows associated with this approach. Emphasis is place on treatment planning, soft tissue management, and the potential to expand implant indications in residual bone while minimizing surgical morbidity.

Course Objective

By the end of the course, clinicians will be able to:

  • Describe the biological and biomechanical factors influencing primary stability in immediate and short implant placement.
  • Explain the principles of soft tissue adaptation and sealing on smooth implant surfaces in the supracrestal region.
  • Compare conventional treatment approaches for narrow, healed alveolar ridges with implant concepts designed to reduce the need for lateral augmentation.
  • Identify appropriate clinical indications and outline the surgical workflow for implants featuring apical threading combined with a smooth coronal implant body.
