Description:

Recent studies have focused on the effect of transmucosal configurations on peri-implant hard/soft tissue responses. The profile angle, as an evolution of the emergence angle, effectively describes both soft and hard tissue behav- ior around subcrestally and equicrestally placed implants. This lecture will explore how placement depth and transmucosal design affect peri-implant tissue health. Clinical guidelines will be presented to optimize restorative contour and placement depth, supporting long-term implant success.

Learn to:

• define and differentiate the implant profile angle from related prosthetic parameters such as emergence angle and emergence profile
• examine the influence of implant profile angle on peri-implant hard tissue, particularly regarding marginal bone stability and remodeling dynamics
• assess the impact of implant profile angle on peri-implant soft tissue, including mucosal thickness, contour, and long-term esthetic stability
• evaluate how implant profile angle behaves in subcrestally placed implants

Description:

Tooth extraction due to various reasons often leads to alveolar ridge resorption, creating anatomical challenges for predictable dental implant placement. Ridge augmentation has become a critical step in restoring the foundation necessary for long-term implant success. This lecture will explore four primary surgical approaches to ridge augmentation: Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR), Block Bone Grafting, Ridge Splitting, and Distraction Osteogenesis. In addition to these foundational techniques, the course will review modified and hybrid methods that have demonstrated clinical success in addressing complex bone defects. Drawing from an extensive series of case studies, the presenter will reaffirm the clinical efficacy of traditional and contemporary augmentation techniques, while introducing a simplified GBR method the DUK Technique designed for efficient, predictable outcomes in daily practice.

 Learn:

• the principles, techniques, and clinical indications for block bone grafting.
• the surgical steps, benefits, and limitations of ridge splitting procedures.
• explore the modification and application of distraction osteogenesis in ridge augmentation.
• review the rationale, materials, and protocols for guided bone regeneration (GBR).
• compare and contrast the clinical usefulness of each approach through real-world case examples

Description:

Peri-implantitis is a progressive inflammatory condition that affects both soft and hard tissues around dental implants, often leading to alveolar bone loss and implant failure. Unlike peri-mucositis—which is limited tosoft tissue and reversible—peri-implantitis can be difficult to manage and may require surgical intervention. Even with surgical treatment, the condition can persist, and in cases of advanced bone loss, implant removal may be the only option. Following removal, clinicians are often faced with significant bone defects, prolonged treatment timelines, and complex augmentation procedures before reimplantation can be considered.

This presentation introduces a streamlined and predictable solution for replacing failed implants, featuring a new implant system with a machined cuff designed to simplify reimplantation and reduce treatment complexity. Through clinical insights and practical protocols, attendees will learn how to effectively manage post-failure cases with improved outcomes and greater efficiency.

 Learn:

• Understand the criteria for implant removal in cases of peri-implantitis and other complications.
• Learn how to remove a failed implant while minimizing bone damage and preserving surrounding tissue.
• Understand the concept and clinical application of a newly developed implant system designed for replacing failed implants.
• Explore a simple and predictable solution for replacing failed implants with minimal complications.

Description:

Digital technologies are transforming implant and restorative dentistry by enabling more precise, efficient, and predictable treatments. This lecture introduces a digital workflow that combines CBCT, intraoral scanning, facial data, and jaw motion tracking to support prosthetically driven implant planning. Special attention is given to intraoral Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which captures subgingival margins and microdefects beyond conventional scanners. Clinical cases and workflow comparisons will show how these innovations streamline procedures and enhance patient-centered outcomes.

 Learn: 

• the integrated use of CBCT, intraoral scans, and facial data to construct a digital patient model for precise implant diagnosis, planning, and treatment.
• to identify how intraoral OCT scanning contributes to enhanced detection of subgingival margins and structural defects, supporting improved precision in both implant and tooth restorations.
• applications of digital workflows in implant surgery, including bone regeneration planning, guided surgery, provisionalization, and mandibular tracking for dynamic occlusion management.
• how AI-assisted design and imaging technologies improve restorative fit, esthetic predictability, and long-term outcomes in both implant-supported and tooth restorations.
