Is Immediate implant placement always possible? What are the hurdles and can they be overcome?

Moderator: Marcus Engelschalk (Germany)
Speakers: Howard Gluckman (South Africa), Paul Schuh (Germany)

In order to manage our case with the least number of surgical interventions, minimal trauma, and the fastest result possible with the best result, special techniques are required. Thin gingival morphotypes, lack of buccal bone or narrow diameter ridges require out-of-the-box techniques to achieve stable long-term success on a predictable and reproducible level.
Contemporary immediate implant restoration concepts of single teeth in the esthetic zone are the subject of this lecture.  A key aspect is digitalization and it will be shown what the new technologies can save us in terms of time. This forum will go through the pros and cons of each technique and will include a robust discussion about each lecturer's preferred techniques.

Regenerative Strategies and Biomaterials to Avoid and Restore Alveolar Ridge Atrophy
Speakers: Homa Zadeh (USA), Pascal Valentini (France), Shahram Ghanaati (Germany), Yoon-Jeong Park (South Korea), Young Dan Cho (South Korea)

Extraction of teeth is accompanied by significant alveolar bone atrophy, that can be interceded by Alveolar Ridge Preservation (ARP), as an evidence-based strategy. In healed atrophic sites, Alveolar Ridge Augmentation will be necessary to restore bone volume. In the posterior maxilla, sinus augmentation is a strategy to regenerate adequate bone for implant therapy. There are a variety of protocols and biomaterial for each of these procedures. In addition, innovative bioactive materials utilizing peptide and growth factor can be applied to the protocol. The experts assembled in this session will discuss choices of biomaterial, protocols and outcomes that will be helpful for clinicians to avoid and manage alveolar ridge atrophy.

Allografts – new perspectives in guided bone augmentation

Various clinical indications alone or in combination with guided bone regeneration frequently require bone augmentation. Today, autologous bone grafts harvested from the doner site represent the gold standard for guided bone regeneration but are associated with several shortcomings related to the increase in patient`s morbidity and anatomical limitations of the donor site. Increasing evidence indicates that allografts may represent a safe alternative to autologous transplants in implant therapy. This forum will provide new data and therapeutic concepts on allografts pointing to the potential clinical relevance of these materials in implant dentistry.

Komplikationsmanagement bei defizitärem Hart- und Weichgewebe: Was tun, wenn nichts mehr geht?

Moderator: Peter Gehrke (Germany)
Speakers: Fouad Khoury (Germany), Markus Schlee (Germany)

Obwohl sich die dentale Implantologie in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten zu einer bewährten Therapieform etabliert hat, stellen sich zunehmend Patienten mit insuffizienten implantologischen Versorgungen und der Herausforderung nach einer Neuversorgung in der Praxis vor. Diese Restaurationen weisen nach einer langen Funktionsperiode oft Defizite hinsichtlich ihrer biologischen und ästhetischen Integration auf, deren Ursachen in den inadäquaten Behandlungskonzepten der Erstversorgung zu finden sind. Lernen sie mit zwei ausgewiesenen Experten klinische Konzepte zu einem differenzierten und optimierten Komplikationsmanagement kennen.
