Aims

To provide a comprehensive scientific and clinical background about development and further modifications of immediate treatment protocols in implant dentistry.

Objectives

• Developments with major influence for surgical protocols
• Developments with major influence for prosthetic protocols
• Understanding the pitfalls for more efficient implant treatment protocols

Biography

• Professor in Dental Biomaterials and Head of the Clinic in the Department of Periodontology and Oral Surgery (www.parochu.be) at University of Liège, Belgium.
• Dedicated to periodontology and implantology.
• Focusing on (i) bone regeneration and biomaterials, (ii) soft tissue integration around teeth and implants and (iii) innovative and less invasive implant protocols.
• Lecturing internationally and being the author of several international publications.

Aims

Extraction and immediate implant placement is nowadays considered as a reliable treatment option. This approach may have certain benefits in order to preserve the soft tissue architecture and to provide immediate satisfaction of patients. However, key-aspects have to be taken into consideration in order to insure successful and esthetic outcomes.

A systematic approach for surgical decision-making to replace single tooth in the esthetic zone will be proposed according to the current scientific evidences and clinical-based experience. The overall objective is to propose a rational and minimally invasive treatment approach to the benefit of the patients. 

Objectives

• Highlighting the benefits and the limits of extraction and immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone. 
• Discussing biological principles and surgical techniques concerning immediate implant treatment through clinical research data and illustrated by case presentations.

Aims

Treating edentulous patients often remains a challenge when you look at the expectations and clinical limitations involved. Since every patient represents an unique anatomical situations, one treatment solution may not fit all. Therefore, a patient-centered decision making process needs to be applied in order to achieve a predictable and successful outcomes while treating such patients. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss treatment planning, surgical concepts and techniques associated with immediate restoration of complete arch fixed rehabilitation.

Objectives

• Review clinical factors that may influence the treatment planning in immediate rehabilitation of a complete arch with a fixed restoration, such as required vertical space,horizontal relationship between the arches, lip support and soft tissue condition;
• Present details regarding the digital workflow for edentulous patients, from CBCTanalysis to template design for guided surgery;
• Discuss surgical aspects related to the fixed rehabilitation of a completely edentulous patient, including bone analysis, number and distribution of implants and technical tips toobtain adequate primary stability.
  
• Emphasizing the Importance of patient centered treatment approach for fully edentulous patients
