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.

Peri-implantitis is no longer unavoidable. A prevention-based approach to implant dentistry – supported by long-term clinical data – demonstrates how targeted design principles and biological integration can dramatically reduce the incidence of peri-implant diseases. For the first time, a biochemical bond between the peri-implant soft tissue and a transmucosal synthetic element was histologically observed and scientifically documented. This newly discovered soft-tissue bond plays a critical role in maintaining peri-implant health, thereby ensuring lasting esthetic results, by creating a dynamic defense against downward migration of plaque, inflammation and disease progression.

Digital impression techniques are easy procedures. Creating a high-quality file for oral implants is, however, crucial for the success of the prosthesis. Many factors influence the outcomes, including the intra-oral scanner's handling, the implants' position, and the type of scan body. Moreover, full arch treatments require proper techniques that differ in immediate loadings and final restorations, and the innovative solution of intra-oral photogrammetry of the recent Elite from Shining3D is a game changer in many aspects. This workshop will cover every element the practitioner must know when going digital for All-On-X treatments to streamline accuracy for better collaboration with the dental technician and patient benefit.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn the essential properties of a scan body and an intra-oral scanner
• Discover photogrammetry principles for dental usage
• Apply easy recipes for improving a digital impression
• Building a full arch impression strategy
• Hands-on and master the Elite intra-oral scanner

Peri-implantitis is a frequent disorder that may compromise the longevity of dental implants. Systemic drivers as well as risk factors are important to be identified aiming at preventing disease occurrence. Further, site-specific factors have been suggested to be implied in the onset/progression of peri-implantitis. All these factors, such as soft and hard tissue grafting, will be elucidated during the lecture to efficiently prevent peri-implantitis. Moreover, in the treatment of this disease, a stepwise approach will be provided according to three pivotal characteristics, namely defect configuration, soft tissue characteristics and implant position, that orchestrate the decision making process. It is of particular challenge the management of this disease in the esthetic area where harmony is aimed at being maintained/optimized. 

Objectives:

• To provide the biological and technical principles in the management of peri-implantitis
• To provide the indications to accept the challenge in managing peri-implantitis in the esthetic area
• To identify the potential of biomaterials in the treatment of peri-implantitis

In this hands-on workshop the participants will learn the bone regeneration techniques, specifically use of REGENFAST^®. This workshop also will highlight various options of treatments and will give a concrete guideline to the participants to apply all the procedures in the daily practice. There will be a theoretical lecture explaining clinical cases of the speaker with scientific evidence and later the speaker will guide all the participants to try the procedure on the plastic model.

In short, you will learn:

• Guided bone regeneration techniques
• REGENFAST^® and its use in GBR procedures
• Clinical results and tips and tricks
• Handling of Biomaterials

In the context of modern and minimally invasive dentistry, tooth extraction with preservation of the surrounding tissues has become essential, particularly when considering functional and aesthetic rehabilitation.
The first part of the hands-on workshop will be led by Pr France Lambert. Through a series of clinical cases, she will present the various situations a practitioner may encounter. From the simple extraction of an anterior tooth with terminal mobility and an intact crown, to a fractured single-rooted tooth, a separated root tip, or an ankylosed tooth, or a multirooted tooth with divergent roots, the different levels of difficulty will be addressed. The clinical protocols will be described in detail and supported by clinical videos. Additionally, the instruments required for these procedures will be outlined in a simple draft.
In the second part of the workshop, Pr France Lambert, Dr. Lucas Rocher, will guide you step by step in performing minimally invasive extractions on training models. We will be there to assist you and answer any questions throughout the session.

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.

The goal is to explain the diagnosis and digital protocol along with the prosthetic and periodontal planification, in order to get ideal emergence profiles for implant-supported restorations.
We emphasize the importance of soft tissue grafts to get esthetic and stable results and the efficiency and predictability of the results thanks to the digital planning from the diagnosis to the treatment execution. All of that, combined with the use of new implant designs to achieve a high primary stability and be able to load the implants immediately.

Learning objectives:
To comprehend the prosthodontic steps necessary for a good diagnosis and treatment plan.
To learn how to implement soft tissue augmentation techniques in order to achieve stable long-term results.
To understand the basic and advanced digital workflow to obtain predictable results
