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.
