Timing of implant positioning: Do Immediate implants work?
Abstract
The timing of implant positioning is crucial for long-term esthetics and functional results. The aim is to reduce the number of surgeries while at the same time achieving an optimal result, which is a primary goal of implant therapy. On this basis, immediate implants can be considered an optimal therapy to obtain stable and long-term results. The criteria to apply this therapy must be carefully evaluated in order to achieve better results without complications, and the use of new technologies can help surgeons and prosthetists have faster and more reliable results.
Improving implant prosthodontics through the total fit workflow
Abstract
The success of implant-supported prostheses directly depends on the quality of treatment planning and implementation. Accurate planning and positioning of the implants enable minimal tissue regeneration procedures and simplify prosthetic procedures. Also, final prosthetic components can be fabricated before the surgical procedures and early loading protocols are applied. The integration of digital implantology and prosthodontics is the key to achieving better biological and technical outcomes. This lecture will cover a novel Total Fit Workflow (TFW) concept that helps to significantly increase the efficiency of the digital workflow in implant prosthodontics.
Session 2

Moderator: Prof. Ieva Gendviliene | Lithuania
GBR in Implant Dentistry: Essential or Optional?
Abstract
In the dynamic field of implant dentistry, the concept of guided bone regeneration (GBR) has sparked significant debate among clinicians regarding its necessity and relevance in contemporary practice. This session aims to explore the fundamental principles of GBR and its role in enhancing implant success rates and long-term outcomes. Through a comprehensive examination of current evidence and clinical case studies, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the indications, benefits, and limitations of GBR techniques. Key topics will include the biological rationale behind GBR, surgical protocols, the selection of biomaterials, and the management of complications. Furthermore, the lecture will address common misconceptions surrounding GBR and provide insights into its integration into everyday clinical practice.
The craft of decision making before, during and after ridge augmentation surgeries
Abstract
Clinicians encounter cases with atrophic alveolar ridges in their daily practice that need complex management, starting from face-driven and prosthetic-driven planning to implant placement and choosing the right approach to restore the peri-implant hard and soft tissues. Ridge augmentation techniques have been out there in the literature for a significant amount of time for us to be able to recognize what works better for each clinical situation using an evidence-based approach. Building expertise in treating alveolar ridge defects enables clinicians to standardize and optimize the outcome of implant therapy and yields superior results with the final restorations in terms of aesthetics, function, and longevity, and that’s why we need guided bone regeneration.
Vertical and horizontal prosthetic and aesthetic Computer Guided Bone Regeneration. Resorbable or not resorbable devices: scientific and clinical evidences
Abstract
The growing interest in biomimetic dental prosthetic restorations has led to the implementation of several bone and soft tissue regeneration procedures. A modern view in terms of alveolar crest reconstruction can't disregard accurate prosthetic & aesthetic planning. The computer-Guided Bone Regeneration Approach is a scientifically supported method that approaches hard & soft tissue augmentation in accordance with 3D aesthetic and prosthetic pre-planning. During this lecture, scientific and clinical evidence on vertical & horizontal alveolar crest bone augmentation will be presented, using resorbable & non-resorbable membranes. In addition, a wide range of clinical cases showing rational choices and future prospects in terms of resorbable customized materials will be presented.
Session 3
Soft tissue stability for optimal esthetic outcomes
Moderator: Dr. Árpád Joób-Fancsaly | Hungary
Implant site soft tissue management prior to augmentation and implant placement.
Abstract
Early studies suggested the application of a mucoperiosteal flap design for sites that require major hard tissue augmentation. It became more crucial to achieve sufficient flap mobilization and tension-free closure when non-resorbable membranes became a standard procedure for major horizontal- or vertical bone augmentation (Tinti & Parma-Benfenati). Other surgical approaches utilized split-thickness flap designs to avoid the severe distortion of the mucogingival junction (Windisch et al.). However, midcrestal soft tissue augmentation could be beneficial to avoid flap dehiscences (Langer). The extraction site development (XSD) technique (Molnar &Windisch) aims to preserve hard- and soft tissue dimensions at severely compromised extraction/ explantation defects (Extraction defect sounding (EDS) class 3 and class 4). A buccally placed barrier membrane is used to reestablish the missing buccal bone wall, to create a safe secluded space for the blood clot. Additionally, an autogenous of xenogeneic soft tissue graft is utilized to improve soft tissue contour at the edentulous ridge. The XSD technique aims to minimize or eliminate the need for subsequent alveolar ridge augmentation. However, if ridge augmentation is still necessary, XSD can create optimal hard and soft tissue conditions, reducing the impact of initial, unfavorable hard- and soft tissue conditions (present at the time of extraction) on the outcome of alveolar ridge augmentation.

Xenogenous collagenous soft tissue matrices for soft tissue augmentation around implants.
Abstract
The connective tissue graft is still considered the gold standard for soft tissue augmentation around implants. However, this creates an additional surgical site and further patient morbidity. To overcome this, xenogenous collagen matrices have been introduced as replacement grafts for the connective tissue graft. However, we have to understand that they behave and heal differently than autogenous tissues. This lecture will cover the various possibilities and limitations when using such materials for soft tissue augmentation around implants and the necessity of properly utilizing them in order to avoid unwanted clinical outcomes. State-of-the art data will be presented with possibilities and limitations when using these materials for soft tissue augmentation around implants.
Session 4

Gain tips and techniques for the management of implant complications
Moderator: Dr. Kyoungwon Kim | Korea
Implant disease
Abstract
Implant failure can be due to a combination of factors. Early failure may be due to a clinical error or the failure of the implant to integrate. Failure by the patient to keep the implant superstructure clean can result in gingival inflammation termed peri-implant mucositis. Late failure is often a result of peri-implantitis. A condition exists called apical peri-implantitis, which, although rare, can either occur due to overheating of the bone during placement or because of infected tissues being left at the apex of the osteotomy site. This lecture will explore the various disease processes affecting dental implants.
Is there a place for bioactive glass in implant dentistry today?
Abstract

In this talk, Dr. Barrak will present some of the benefits of bioactive glass in other surgical fields and discuss the potential applications in dental implantology. Although bioactive glass is not a new material, it has been rarely talked about in dental implantology until now! The scientific background and potential clinical applications will be presented by Dr. Barrak.
Re-treatment of failed implants: from prevention to advanced hard and soft tissue management
Abstract
Dental implants are a reliable treatment for partially and fully edentulous patients, but the increasing use by diverse practitioners has led to a rise in complications. Implant failure is multifactorial, and risks can be mitigated with better diagnosis and treatment planning. Peri-implantitis, defined by Workgroup 4 of 2017, is a plaque-associated condition causing inflammation and bone loss around implants. Re-treating failed implant sites with severe bone loss from peri-implant disease requires a different approach than initial implant sites. This lecture addresses re-treatment strategies, and key success factors, and provides a clinician's workflow guide, emphasizing prevention as crucial to success.
