Updated clinical and technical protocols for predictable immediate implant placement

Objective

In this one-day lecture, video-life surgery and hands-on workshops, the participant will learn not only the basic principles but also tips and tricks on how to achieve optimal pleasing esthetics results on immediate implant treatment protocols. The session will be very interactive and the participants can discuss directly with the expert.

Content

The goal to create a harmonious “esthetic” outcome around dental implants that mimics the surrounding dentition and soft-tissue condition as well as morphology is indeed difficult to create and maintain long term.

In this presentation a comprehensive approach to optimize functional and esthetic results with immediate implant placement will be discussed by blending surgical, technical, and restorative steps into one successful protocol will be presented thoroughly.

Immediate surgical and restorative protocols facilitate superior esthetic and functional success. However, strict guidelines for atraumatic intervention, implant primary stability, bone packing, connective tissue graft and preservation of existing anatomic structures must be carefully followed.  Digital planning plays a fundamental role to achieve such a desired results.

On the other hand, the subepithelial connective tissue graft (CTG) is a favored option to treat and prevent gingival and peri-implant soft-tissue recessions. It is usually placed in combination with a coronally advanced flap or with an envelope flap or pouch. This lecture will focus on the difference on protocols when it comes to  surgical and prosthetic criteria to treat anterior implants using as a volume maintainer only soft tissue grafting procedures. Techniques and tools will be discussed in order to reach such results around anterior implant treatments.
