Industry hands-on sessions

Discover how to enhance operational efficiency in full-arch implantology by integrating dynamic navigation and photogrammetry into your workflow. This workshop will explore how real-time guided implant placement and precise digital impressions streamline procedures, reduce chair time, and improve accuracy. Join us to learn cutting-edge techniques that elevate clinical outcomes and optimize your practice.

This hands-on course will cover different aspect of bone grafting procedures with intra oral harvested bone as well as the management of the soft tissue. Special focus will be on a minimal invasive but very effective technique, the carrot technique, that is predictable, reproducible and easy to implement in clinical practice. This approach reduces morbidity, shortens treatment time, and eliminates the need for additional donor sites or foreign materials. Step-by-step guidance will be provided to enhance long-term success in implantology through biologically optimized grafting procedures.

Implant placement in the esthetic zone remains always a challenging clinical procedure requiring clinical skills and meticulous planning. “Maintain or recreate the volume” has always been a dilemma for the clinician the last decades affecting the treatment choice and often the clinical outcome. Immediate implants seem to gain again more trust since better hardware and software are being used.

The purpose of this presentation is to provide simple clinical concepts to ensure stable transmucosal contours with high white and pink esthetic scores regardless of implant placement timing. Starting with the proper implant macro-geometry and guided implant placement, understanding the importance of the abutment design and the different zones of the transmucosal contour, and using the right biomaterials to compensate or recreate the missing volumes, the participants will be able to master step by step simple clinical procedures to achieve better long-term esthetic outcomes.

Learning objectives:

• defining the rationale of immediate implant placement-what are the limits?
• when and how to use early and delayed implant concepts
• the different zones of the implant transmucosal contour and how the change through the healing phase
• what kind of barriers and biomaterials can be used and why?
• the importance of different treatment-steps sequencing in late implant placement for long term esthetic results

Immediate implant placement with ceramic implants means a significant acceleration of the process for patient and practitioner with a significant reduction in appointments while maintaining anatomy and esthetics.

S3 guidelines on ceramic implants and peri-implantitis, the latest statements on immediate implantology and the study situation underline the evidence in addition to convincing success rates and positive empirical data.

A comprehensive understanding of all biological and mechanical parameters is crucial for a predictable result in order to successfully implant ceramics in all alveoli immediately.

Dr. Volz draws on 33 years of experience and over 30,000 personally placed ceramic implants, including around 20,000 immediate implants.
