Osseodensification, an evidence-based approach to osteotomy preparation that enhances implant stability and bone density without compromising healing. This lecture will present the biomechanical, histological healing timeline, and clinical data of Osseodensification. It will discuss bone plasticity and its clinical effect and will also cover the clinical versatility of this novel technique including Sub-Crestal Sinus Auto Grafting, Ridge Expansion, Immediate Implant Placement with Osseodensification, and Guided Expansion Graft. Several clinical protocols will be outlined. 

Learning Objectives

• Understand The scientific principal of Osseodensification. 
• Understand bone plasticity biomechanics and its clinical advantages. 
• Discuss Osseodensification effect on total implant stability, healing, and what it means biomechanically and histologically (BIC, Bone volume) 
• Learn how bone can be enhanced with adequate instrumentation. 
• Learn sub-crestal sinus lift protocols. 
• Learn how Osseodensification can change the minimum amount of bone needed to predictably place an implant utilizing the Plus1 protocol. 
• Learn how to optimize their implant practice and create more with less. 
  

Mucosal tissue thickness was shown to be the factor having impact on crestal bone stability. Even platform switching of the implant-abutment connection does not reduce crestal bone loss, if soft tissues at the implant placement are thin. 

It is suggested that thin tissues might be thickened during implant placement, thus reducing bone resorption. If bone height is not sufficient, vertical augmentation of the soft tissue is recommended with different materials - autograft, a xenograft or a dermis-derived allograft.  

We will discuss: Why we should do immediate? Why immediate is still considered risky? What is prosthetically-guided immediates? Why immediates are successful? Type A, B, C immediates and others. 

• Learn how to develop and maintain crestal bone stability around delayed and immediate implants

The original Branemark implant system was introduced over 50 years ago. Meantime, the dental implant industry has made great technological advances, providing solutions for almost every case and allowing many patients to enjoy the benefits of implants. The performance of the implant itself has also been greatly improved to expedite osseointegration in most cases and even allow same-day prosthetics.

Notwithstanding, current implant technology can still encounter mechanical and biological complications. In this context, with over 10 years of proven clinical results, we present a new innovative implant system that provides a long-term solution based on a new loading protocol. Combined with defined key advantages from long-term clinical results, we can achieve even faster and more stable osseointegration with plasma surface treatment technology. Understanding and controlling periodontal tissue and periodontal bone regeneration as biological concepts are essential when combining an implant system with digital technology, from treatment and diagnostic planning thru to CAD/CAM for the final prosthesis.

Therefore, in this lecture, I would like to share the importance of implant design based on my 40 years of experience as an implant clinician, and present an easy and effective solution to avoid difficult and complicated surgical methods.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the biologic concepts for hard and soft tissue regeneration and maintenance
  
• Understand common short and long-term complications in implant treatment
  
• Understand the key design features that are important in implant design

  
  

  
  

Currently, there are numerous implant systems in the global dental market. Among them, it is important to select a system that can be used in various clinical situations and guarantees excellent long-term results. Although it would be ideal to be able to use only one in all cases, you will always experience difficult cases that will require otherwise. There are various excellent implant systems to meet the needs of dentists.
You will learn how to make better selections through the clinical benefits of each implant system.

Learning Objective:

• Learn how to select the best implants in various situations to optimize clinical results
  
  

New technology is constantly emerging while adaptation and application may be difficult . This presentation will discuss many of the advancements and touch on new techniques to help provide insights into your journey through digital sinus solutions. Utilizing the ossedensification burs has simplified sinus elevation. This presentation will focus on freehanded vs guided sinus elevation utilizing the Versah surgical C-guide, as well as dynamic navigation. Dr Tawil will discuss going digital utilizing CBCT combined with digital or standard impressions to result in restoratively driven guided surgery with application of the R2 gate software for surgical site preservation and bone optimization. Our goal is to appreciate and comprehend the latest technologies that yield the ultimate restorative-driven implant therapy.

Leaning objectives:

• Undestanding osseodensification techniques for sinus applications
  
• Appreciate freehanded vs guided methods
  
• Comprehend the software and components and of three dimensional guidance for implant placement 
  
• Employing proper tools for guided surgery
• Utilization of Static and dynamic Guided Ossedensification sinus solutions
  

The concept of digital dentistry developed by MegaGen over the past 10 years has been to create a fully digitalized virtual patient for use in both diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, this presentation introduces the clinical application of a dental avatar, a fully digitalized virtual patient. Based on over 10 years of experience, the primary data for a digital patient is collected using R2 studio Q, a new standard of medical equipment offered by MegaGen. The collected data is then avatarized through R2GATE for diagnosis and developing a treatment plan. Thereafter, a fully digital workflow, from diagnosis thru to the final prosthesis, is available via various clinical solutions provided by the R2 service team, allowing the clinician to apply the simulation procedure to the real world. If you are already a MegaGen user, now it’s time to enjoy MegaGen’s digital world. Eureka!!

This presentation will discuss recent technological advancement in R2 Studio and R2 Studio Q, that are now available and how these can help augment a thriving implant practice. During this lecture, we will discuss new innovations in next generation CBCT, 3D facial scanner, digital oral design software and impression CT scan. We will review how these state of the art technologies can be used to optimize outcomes in extensive or full mouth reconstruction cases. 

Learning objectives:

• Clinical implications of high resolution large FOV CBCT in both diagnosis and restoration
• Clinical implications of 3D face scan
• To use CBCT as a powerful restorative device in extensive reconstruction cases
