The power of immediacy in implant dentistry
Professor Gabor opens his lecture with a mix of humor and experience, describing his early adoption of immediate implant placement at a time when it was considered controversial. He underscores that his success is built on mastering immediacy, with over 55,000 implants placed. Gabor emphasizes that the ability to confidently perform immediate procedures without delays or multiple surgeries makes a practice more efficient and attractive to patients. He shows a recent case performed just before his trip, highlighting complex bone-loss scenarios corrected with precision-placed implants—demonstrating why specific implant designs are critical in such challenging cases.
Minimalism meets precision in surgical technique
Gabor passionately shares his philosophy of minimalism in surgery—no flaps, no grafts, just one drill in many cases. His focus is on reducing trauma and maximizing efficiency without sacrificing results. He provides visual proof of his success with before-and-after images that show remarkable healing and aesthetics. Tools are available routine procedures like root resections and sinus lifts, arguing that most are unnecessary when the right implant tools are available. He supports his claims with torque measurements, implant stability, and long-term outcomes, positioning immediate placement as a superior and underutilized approach.
