Abstract:

Part I

“ Guided Tissue Preservation. A new technique to preserve the original alveolar dimension in single tooth immediate extraction placement and provisionalization cases.”

The lecture will focus on a new technique  based on the use of an  immediate provisional prosthesis anatomically designed to support the soft tissue and mimimize the dimensional changes related to the  post-extraction remodeling.

Cases where the alveolar bone is intact as well as cases with damaged alveolar bone will be described.

The objective of the lecture is to give to the clinicians  an alternative to more invasive and staged approach when dealing with single tooth immediate replacement in the esthetic area.

Part II & III

“New treatment strategies to semplify the management of complex cases in the posterior area.

The molar site: How can we prevent the post-extraction dimensional changes?

Clinical application of Extra-Short implants in the severely atrophic maxilla and mandible.”

The second part of  the lecture will focus on single tooth replacement in the molar site.

 Post-extraction remodeling in the molar site can lead to clinical limitation for implant rehabilitation, techniques to prevent the consequences  of this process  will be analyzed and described.

Socket Preservation; Immediate extraction placement; immediate provisionalization;and implant site development with orthodontic extrusion will be described. 

The results of studies that compare the effect of different healing abutment on dimensional tissue change following molar extraction and immediate implantation will be shown  in order to give to the clinician practical guidelines to preserve the original tissue dimension and overcome the esthetic and functional deficiency that usually takes place after tooth extraction and replacement in the molar site.

 

The third part of  the lecture will focus on minimally invasive treatment in the severely atrophic maxilla and mandible.

 An  innovative approach  based on the use of   Extra-Short implants(<7mm length) will be shown.

Cases where the crestal bone is reduced to a minimal height will be treated effectively with this technique.

Single tooth, partially edentulous and fully edentulous cases will be analyzed.

The objective of the lecture is to give to the clinicians  an alternative treatment option to more invasive and delayed approach procedures when dealing with extreme bone atrophy.

Clinical tips and research data will be shown.
