The success of orthognathic surgery is dependent on good surgical technique as well as accurate surgical planning. Conventional surgical planning of orthognathic surgery consists of cephalometric analysis, mock surgery, face-bow transfer, bite wax recording, mounting of models into a semiadjustable articulator, and model surgery.

Despite of relative good results, conventional techniques in orthognathic surgery have shown some difficulties such as
1. Tedious laboratory works and errors 
2. Experience-based positioning of proximal segment
3. Quantitative analysis in treatment planning of facial asymmetry.
 
Nowadays virtual surgical planning (VSP) and computer-aided design andcomputer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technique, which represents a paradigm shift in surgical planning for orthognathic surgery, can allow surgeons to overcome most of the above-mentioned limitations. In other words, it is now possible to virtually position each bone segment as planned and fabricate surgical wafers and customized plates using three dimensional (3D) printing and advanced milling technologies. In Seoul National University Dental Hospital, Facegide® and custom plate system have been applied in orthognathic surgery and facial bone restoration since 2018, giving us experience of more than 400 cases with this system.Facegide® and custom plate system consists of four surgical stents with indented occlusion, four L-shaped custom plates for the maxilla, and two custom plates for the mandible which can be applied like conventional ready made plates, intermediate and final wafer.

Learning objectives:

• Introduce and discuss advantages of facegide assisted orthognathic surgery
• Present possible indications of PSI and cases of facial bone defect restioration using PSI

There is a new paradigm shift in osteotomy development. Scalloping and shaping bone allows for proper emergence profiling and enhances soft tissue architecture. This course will provide the participants with the practical knowledge, equipment and skills in biological implant preparation. From single to full arch placements, this course will discuss esthetic scalloping of hard and soft tissue to proper configuration and predictable osteotomies in all areas of surgical interest. Additionally, this course will provide breakthrough fully digital workflow for full arch dental implant restorations. This 2 visit process for full arch metal free zirconia restorations utilizes technology called grammetery, the photogrammetry alternative. Grammetry is a comprehensive surgical and restorative solution that offers a very similar and straightforward process with a significantly reduced cost and allows the use of existing IOS or desktop scanners. The scans are utilized to order files to print in office, or to have the laboratory quickly produce pre surgical or restorative coping-free prosthetics. The course will have a hands on component for both surgical drilling and the grammetry workflow.

Learning Objective:
● Understand and implement the advantages of scalloping hard and soft tissues for proper configuration and predictable osteotomies for all implant surgeries

The most prominent changes in dentistry that is happening right now is digital transformation. For the digital transformation, several equipment and programs should be prepared. A lot of intraoral scanners, milling machines and 3D printers have been introduced in the market. In addition, many different techniques and methods have been introduced and applied. However, there is no consensus about digital dentistry until now. For that reason, so many dentists are confused about all the different digital techniques in these days. How to apply digital dentistry and what to do according to various clinical situations may be main questions.

Recently, large FOV CBCT with face scanner has been developed and introduced. By using R2GATE software, virtual patient can be created based on CT & face scan data. With this virtual patient, we can start digital dentistry from diagnosis and planning.

Through this presentation, we would like to review and discuss our experiences about digital dentistry. Finally, we will give our guidelines about digital solutions according to clinical situations from diagnosis to restoration based on our experiences.

As AI and robotics bring their paradigm-shifting force to bear in dental care, few dentists have been given an honest accounting of how these technologies will actually impact their work––and fewer still have any first-hand experience with it in their practices. This session aims to dispel the myths and mystery around AI and robotics' current utility to dental offices with a boots-on-the-ground look at its real-world impact on the clinical and business operations of practices currently employing the technology.

New global standard for implant design
Almost 50 years have passed since the Branemark implant system was introduced to Europe and North America, yet implants are still unable to completely replace natural teeth. Thus, our research has specifically focused on understanding biology to develop implant designs that can restore a patient’s original smile and allow a quick recovery.

Most existing implants are impacted by delayed loading protocols and the patient's bone quality. However, the AnyRidge implant (2009) introduced a new paradigm based on a knife thread design that secures the hard and soft tissue thickness with a high initial fixation, regardless of the bone quality. Over 10 years of clinical results have since confirmed the success of the AnyRidge early loading protocol, including enhanced osseointegration due to an additional unique surface treatment that adds Ca ions to the S-L-A surface.

Continuing with this biology-inspired innovation, the more recent BLUEDIAMOND IMPLANT® combines the AnyRidge design success with an improved body strength and new X-Fit connection to provide enduring mechanical stability and long-term clinical safety. In effect, this premium implant harnesses the power of biology to facilitate and support the work of the clinician, while providing the patient with close to natural teeth, both functionally and long-term. 

As a clinician with 40 years of implant experience, I believe that understanding biology is the key for implant innovation and solutions. In reality, most current standard implant designs are unable to provide both patient satisfaction and clinical convenience. Therefore, I am happy to share our exciting long-term clinical results and improved patient satisfaction stemming from our ongoing biology-based implant design innovations. Biology must surely become the clear global standard to power implant design innovation.

This lecture will present the biomechanical, histological healing timeline, and clinical short- and long-term data of Osseodensification. It will discuss the clinical effect of bone plasticity and will also cover the clinical versatility of this novel technique including Crestal Sinus Grafting, Ridge Expansion, Immediate Implant Placement with Osseodensification, and Guided Expansion Graft. Several clinical protocols will be outlined.

 Dr. Drik Duddeck | 10:30am - 11:00am
Micron-sized impurities and invisible layers of hydrocarbons on sterile packaged implants have significant biologic consequences. Their presence, despite the best efforts of manufacturers, can prove consequential in implant dentistry. A recent quality assessment study of dental implants conducted in collaboration with Charité University Medicine found an alarming number of factory-related contaminants on what were deemed to be clean medical devices. The particle size of these contaminants, many known to be cytotoxic, ranged to as much as hundreds of micrometers in diameter. Inflammatory processes, varying degrees of bone loss, and implant failure can occur because of these surface impurities causing uncontrolled foreign body reactions. It is our patients who sustain the complications of these surface contaminants such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.

Even if sterile packaged, hydrocarbons from the plastic blister deposit on the surface of implants and form a thin layer of only a few nanometers in thickness over time. This layer leads to a decrease in the wettability of the surface and has a negative impact on the osseointegration of the implant. New developed vacuum plasma devices facilitate the removal of these hydrocarbon compounds resulting in bioactivation of the implant and the abutment. In-vitro studies have shown increased protein absorption, osteoblast adhesion and proliferation after vacuum plasma treatment. This lecture will demonstrate the effect of small and minute contaminants, show how dentists can protect themselves and their patients from the use of inferior quality implants and explain the value of bioactivation of dental implants with a chairside vacuum plasma treatment.

 Prof. Tomas Linkevičius | 11:40am - 12:20pm

There are obvious reasons why immediate implants should be a common-day practise. Yet, this treatment modality is often demonised and avoided. This must be changed, but that only can happen, if clinicians changes his/hers point of view. Clear advantages of immediate implants include:
1. Maintaining of pre-extraction soft tissue architecture
2. Tooth-like soft tissue profile
3. Less functional problems in posterior implants
4. More aesthetic result in anterior region
5. Faster treatment for patients and dentist

All this much more or sometimes even impossible to achieve with delayed implants.

 Prof. Christian Makary | 12:20pm - 1:00pm

When bone conditions permit it, implant placement should be performed and immediate or early prosthetic loading should be the treatment of choice. This choice of loading protocol is predicated by numerous factors related to both bone environment and choice of implant, since bone density, implant geometry and surgical technique can directly affect implant primary stability. The quest for an implant macro geometry conferring good stability in soft bone while reducing bone compression in hard bone is today of utmost importance to predictably perform accelerated loading protocols. This geometry was recently introduced by adapting implant core diameter to drilling shape and thread diameter to bone density thus allowing the clinician to achieve optimal implant stability in any bone type. Implant shape, thread design and implant surface characteristics will not only confer enhanced primary stability but also maintained stability values during the first critical weeks leading to predictable accelerated loading protocols.

During this presentation, scientific and clinical rationale will be presented to give the clinician an evidence-based approach for implant loading protocol. A special emphasis will be made on the importance of implant macro and micro geometry to fulfill local mechanical and biological conditions for accelerated loading.

 Dr. Chingu Kim | 1:00pm - 1:30pm

With implant treatment becoming a standard modality for edentulous patients, reducing the edentulous period is increasing in importance, which means immediate implant placement and an immediate or early loading protocol, especially in the anterior region. All this requires an implant with a powerful initial stability favorable for early loading, along with an implant thread design and surface characteristics that can significantly contribute to the initial stability in the early healing period.

The Blue Diamond implant system provides a robust primary stability due to its specific thread design and special surface. Plus, its distinctive implant-abutment connection produces a better joint stability and ideal platform design. Therefore, the presented case series explores this brand-new implant system that delivers the best solution for an immediate or early loading protocol.

1:30pm - 2:30pm

 Dr. Laurent Sers | 2:30pm - 3:00pm
The contribution of computer science in implantology is a major technological breakthrough in terms of precision, time saving, data storage, guarantees and customization of work. The Immediate loading concept has to take account of several items as aesthetic and function to be done successfully, but the most important point is to be in accordance with the bone and tissue biology.

The use of digital planning, guided-surgery, Cad Cam and intra oral scanner are perfectly defined and protocoled with satisfactory results. But this Digital workflow must nevertheless be at the service of implant biology, aesthetic and function. Innovative solutions that integrate into the digital flow allow us to better understand the bone and tissue response of our patients, to anticipate the aesthetic result and to provide a perfect function. The innovative technology of guided surgery using stackable guide allows to optimize this treatment.

This aim is to validate an implant treatment using the digital flow, which is certainly easy and fast to realize but especially safe in the long term. 

This presentation describes how to anticipate these 3 fundamental items: biology, aesthetic and function; during the execution of all the elements of the implant chain from the prosthetic project and the surgical phase to the final prosthetic realization for a better result in terms of predictability, durability

With the advance and development of mechanics and programs, it is now possible to build a virtual patient in order to diagnose, mock trials, and build devices that allow the mock trials to be possible in real life. This innovation was able to be established due to the technical idea of being able to merge CT, once thought to be used only for visualization, with digitalized model file (STL) and use the mock trial results on the CAD/CAM system right away. As a result now it is possible to do diverse representative guide surgeries using the implant guide. Nowadays it has become more advanced to the point where 3D facial data obtained by the facial scanner is merged with CT to create a “Dental Avatar” for clinical use. The ability to create a Digital Dental Avatar with the patient’s information of the bone, soft tissue and emotion/characteristic, and using a software program to mock trial, provides us - clinicians with more objective and intuitive information than what were provided in the analogue era. It’s worth is especially appreciated during the diagnosis and treatment planning phase. Additionally, in proportion to the clinicians imagination, diverse devices and prosthesis can be designed, to allow the process from diagnosis up to the delivery of the final prosthesis to occur in one continuous flow using Digital Dentistry. Therefore, in this presentation, we will share the modern trends of Digital Dentistry, and discuss how as Dentists, we can utilize it appropriately.

 Dr. Kanyon Keeney | 4:40pm - 5:20pm

There are more than 80 million people in the United States that are either edentulous or with a terminal dentition. With this comes immense opportunities to change our patients’ lives and bring significant revenue to your practice! To make this happen, you need to get these patients to choose your practice, convince them to undergo the treatment that they need, and then execute that treatment in a clinically excellent, efficient, and profitable manner.

Exquisite clinical outcomes are possible with both digital as well as analog treatment workflows.

Successful treatment requires the practitioner to understand the various protocols available, and to choose one to efficiently deliver the treatment that the patient needs in less time and with fewer complications. This lecture will briefly explore aspects of a successful full arch practice from the “art, science and business” model perspective.

Full arch therapy... the ‘FINAL FRONTIER’ of Implantology... where many of us travelled, yet still looking for better directions. Many modality have been incorporated over the past several decades which include removable locator over dentures, bar-over dentures, and of course the most demanding full arch fixed solutions. At present, AllonX concept dominates the market. With its simplicity in planning and surgical execution, it is no surprise that this concept has paved the way for many of us, implant surgeons. As a result, some of us have incorporated ‘All on x’, immediate loading concept, as one of our ‘go to’ solution for majority of our full arch fixed therapies. However... it comes at one cost... BONE REDUCTION. 

With advancement in digital technologies, we now can Plan and Execute both stages of surgery and prosthetics to achieve most biologically-driven, minimally invasive full-arch therapy. Welcome to the world of NBR (No Bone Reduction) FP1, the Next Evolution in Fixed Full Arch Therapy.
