Partial Extraction therapy: Concept, Technique, and Application

Partial extraction therapy (PET) is a concept that encompasses a few techniques aiming at hard and soft tissue
preservation in conjunction with implant placement. This workshop is meant as a starting point for clinicians who wish to incorporate PET in to their clinical practice. Presentation will first demonstrate clearly the concept of PET and the advantages these techniques bring. PET techniques will then be presented and explained in a step-by-step fashion, along with their indications and contraindications. Case examples will then be used to demonstrate how to incorporate PET techniques in different case types, ranging from single unit to full arch implant rehabilitations. In the hands-on session, participants will be able to practice partial extraction therapy techniques on a hands-on model. This will be done in a step-by-step approach explaining each step and the rationale for it. The hands-on session will further solidify the didactic knowledge gained and prepare participants to apply these techniques in practice.

Osseodensification - Why? When? & Where?

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.

Comprehensive Computer-aided Full Arch Case Management:
The Bone & Soft Tissue Dilemma

Bio-esthetic integration and succesful predictable final outcome of implant-supported restorations can often be difficult to attain, and implant failures can be related to misunderstood surgical and prosthetic protocols.
During this presentation, surgical considerations are provided based on biologic principles that ultimately enhances succeful outcomes in modern day implantology. Restorative considerations are also discussed to optimize crestal bone preservation.
The immediate temporisation of all-on-x full arch cases is becoming more popular, aiming for an optimal patient experience that necessitates a thorough protocol for the entire team. A Fully Guided Surgery & Prosthetic seating of the case often on the same day can be a real challenge when it comes to optimise hard and soft tissue management of ridge deficiencies . The amount of bone reduction should be conducted as minimum as possible when the vertical height of the alveolar bone can be preserved.
A case of full maxillary arch management will be shown, to highlight the importance of bone and soft manipulations for an optimum outcome of FP1 cases and to understand that all the classic concepts of osseointegration are not erased by guided surgery, especially bone physiology.
Learning Objectives
- Understanding Crestal bone stability in implant therapy
- Understanding the main factors influencing the bio-esthetic integration of implant restorations
- To define the role of hard and soft tissue surgical management necessities during guided surgery

Zero Bone Loss Concepts
Immediate & Delayed Implant Approach

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.
Learning Objective:
- Learn how to develop and maintain crestal bone stability around delayed and immediate implants

Implant Design: It Ain't Over 'Till It's Over

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

Facilitation of Full Mouth Rehabilitation Using
Innovative Technologies of The Next Generation CBCT

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
