Lecture 1

Immediate implants in the esthetic zone: From challenges to reproducible outcomes.

Thursday, 23 April 2026, 16:00 – 16:30 | Auditorium 1

Immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone addresses patient demands for shorter treatment times and immediate results. However, it remains one of the most demanding procedures in implant dentistry due to high esthetic expectations, highlighting the need for careful planning and execution. By combining evidence-based protocols, digital workflows, and interdisciplinary planning, this lecture will outline the key factors influencing predictable outcomes. Implant design and surface characteristics will also be considered for their role in osseointegration and esthetic stability. Clinicians will learn how to move from managing challenges to achieving consistently reliable results. Practical case examples will illustrate strategies to minimize complications and deliver long-term esthetic success with immediate implants in the esthetic zone.

Lecture 2

Toward more predictable immediate implant outcomes in edentulous patients: The Straumann® STARconcept™

Thursday, 23 April 2026, 16:30 – 17:00 | Auditorium 1

Immediate implant placement and loading in edentulous patients has become an attractive treatment option, offering faster rehabilitation and improved patient satisfaction. Yet, predictability remains a challenge due to variations in bone quality, surgical complexity, and prosthetic demands. This lecture introduces the Straumann® STARconcept™ – a structured framework designed to enhance consistency and reliability in immediate full-arch implant therapy. By aligning surgical precision, optimal timing, anatomical respect, and restorative planning, STAR provides clinicians with a reproducible pathway toward stable outcomes. Participants will gain practical insights into case selection, digital workflows, and biomechanical principles that support immediate function, as well as strategies to minimize complications. The Straumann® STARconcept™ aims to empower clinicians to deliver more predictable results in edentulous implant rehabilitation.

Workshop 1

The Straumann® STARconcept™ in full-arch rehabilitation: from principles to practice.

Friday, 24 April 2026, 09:00 – 12:30

Rehabilitating edentulous patients with immediate implant placement and loading offers clear benefits in terms of patient comfort and reduced treatment time. However, clinical success remains challenging due to anatomical limitations, bone variability, and prosthetic demands. The Straumann® STARconcept™ provides a structured framework that guides clinicians through each critical step, transforming complexity into a reproducible pathway toward reliable outcomes. By integrating evidence with practice, this workshop will equip clinicians with the skills and confidence to implement the Straumann® STARconcept™ in daily treatment. Distinguished speakers will outline the STAR principles, emphasizing how surgical precision, correct timing, anatomical respect, and restorative planning interconnect to support immediate full-arch function. Case selection, risk management, and digital workflows will also be highlighted. In the hands-on component, participants will apply these concepts directly, practicing guided surgical protocols and restorative techniques.

Workshop 2

Mastering the daily clinical routine for single implant placement.

Friday, 24 April 2026, 14:00 – 17:30

Single-tooth implant therapy is among the most common procedures in modern implant dentistry, yet clinical success relies on a systematic approach that balances surgical precision, prosthetic planning, and patient-specific considerations. Even in seemingly straightforward cases, factors such as implant positioning, soft tissue management, and restorative workflow can significantly influence long-term esthetic and functional outcomes. This workshop integrates lectures with practical hands-on experience to provide a structured framework for predictable everyday implant therapy. The lecture will present evidence-based protocols – from case selection to implant positioning and prosthetic integration – highlighting strategies to avoid pitfalls and enhance efficiency in daily practice. In the hands-on session, participants will translate this knowledge into step-by-step exercises on models, gaining the skills and confidence to deliver reliable and reproducible single-implant treatments.

Workshop 3

Peri-implantitis therapy redefined: electrolytic cleaning as an effective therapeutic approach.

Saturday, 25 April 2026, 09:00 – 12:30

Peri-implantitis remains one of the most pressing challenges in contemporary implant dentistry, with conventional therapies often showing limited long-term success. Electrolytic cleaning has recently emerged as an innovative and effective approach to biofilm removal and implant surface decontamination, creating favorable conditions for healing and supporting regenerative outcomes. By integrating scientific knowledge with hands-on experience, this workshop aims to provide participants with the confidence and skills necessary to incorporate this novel approach into daily clinical practice. Participants will gain insights into the biological rationale, clinical protocols, case selection, and outcome data, while also practicing the application of this therapy step by step.
