Session 1 – The management of hard and soft tissue in the esthetic zone
Moderation: Hom-Lay Wang
09:00
This presentation will be focused on the benefits of applying a digital workflow for the planning and execution of bone augmentation procedures, including the bone harvesting if necessary.
Thanks to the digital technologies, the clinician can measure the bone defect before the procedure. Templates may be manufactured to harvest autogenous bone grafts in a safe way, to shape allogenic cortical plates or to fit them in the defect with more precision and more efficiency.
Other digital approaches will be briefly discussed.
Objectives
- To explain the advantages of digital planning and execution
- To understand the possible pitfalls and disadvantages of the digital workflow
- To learn how to harvest a bone block in a safe and predictable way
- To share how we combine new biomaterials with printed guides to reduce treatment time, morbidity and cost for the patient

Vertical bone augmentation in the aesthetic zone is one of the most challenging bone grafting procedures. What makes it challenging Is the soft manipulation to cover the bone graft and to have an aesthetic pleasing outcome in the end. For this different flap designs were described in the literature depending on the volume of argumentation, tissue thickness, and the phenotype of the patient. For these new considerations for flap design according to the amount of Keratinized Gingiva, tissue thickness and vestibular depth have been described. Even in the case of successful bone grafting, the aesthetic outcome of the soft tissue is very challenging in cases of vertical bone augmentation. For this reason, careful planning of the aesthetic factors at the end of the treatment has to be considered.
The lecture will describe the soft tissue assessment before vertical augmentation and new flap designs for this procedure and also contemporary ways of flap manipulation according to the anatomy of each implant site

Implant dentistry has already gained credibility in terms of functional recovery and long-term stability.
From now on, fewer steps, shorter treatment times, and less invasive procedures must be pursued to achieve similar results.
To this end, the use of face scanners and other digital devices to communicate post-treatment images and for diagnostic purposes will help clarify treatment goals and make treatment progress smarter. We would like to share with you through clinical examples.

Session 2 – Introducing modern technologies in implant therapy
Moderation: Yasushi Nakajima & Li De Hua
11:15
Full-arch rehabilitation with implant supported prosthesis by immediate-function protocols has demonstrated to be a reliable treatment alternative. Static surgical template and dynamic navigation are 2 methods which are helpful for optimal implant insertion position. Dynamic navigation represents a tool providing real-time navigation, aiming for improved accuracy of implant placement, avoiding damage of anatomic structures. A further advantage consisted in planning the rehabilitations through a prosthetically driven approach, aiming for the best possible design of the prosthesis, better esthetics, optimized occlusion, This lecture will discuss the efficient workflow of dynamic navigation for implant guided surgery for full edentulous, including fixed bridge and overdenture.

Recent digital innovations have been revolutionary, achieving ideal implant placement with simplified procedures. On the other hand, most of those procedures vitally require GBR and soft tissue management methods. Depending on anatomical instances, bone augmentation requires different manipulation techniques and various materials. In this lecture I will be sharing ideas based on actual clinical cases and also what are the benefits on hard and soft tissue augmentation procedures.

Session 4 – Surgical challenges in edentulous maxilla
Moderation: Atiphan Pimkhaokham
15:15
This presentation explores the importance of a prosthetic-driven approach in full-arch restorations, focusing on achieving a harmonious balance between function, esthetics, and patient satisfaction. Emphasis is placed on the concept of “beginning with the end in mind,” highlighting the necessity of planning the final prosthetic outcome even before tooth extraction and implant placement to minimize potential complications.
Through case examples, the step-by-step treatment process is demonstrated, encompassing both conventional and digital workflows. Integration of digital tools—such as intraoral scanning, computer-aided planning, and guided surgery—streamlines the process and enhances precision in achieving optimal outcomes. This presentation aims to provide a comprehensive approach to full-arch restorations, ensuring a seamless journey from treatment planning to final prosthesis delivery.

From June 2008 to June 2018 altogether 485 patients (686 jaws with 2926 implants) with edentulous or severe periodontitis underwent immediate implants and immediate restoration in the Department of Oral Implantology, Peking University. Based on our clinical results, the following risks and strategies will be presented and discussed:
- How to get enough preliminary stability of implants and successful provisional prosthesis? it is clear that immediate Implants with no enough preliminary stability would not be loaded immediately which will result in patients complain and unhappy. Surgical strategies were discussed in the presentation.
- Poor implant distal position which make too longer cantilever and implant failure risky, zygoma implant and longer implant through sinus approach to nasal floor were discussed.
- To avoid peri-implantitis, surgical management including hard and soft tissue steps and prosthetical design were discussed, Some special aspects in surgical approach and prosthesis were suggested .
- what about implant failure? Risk factors were discussed base on 66 lost implants. The Bruxism and prosthesis pattern seems more risky.
- About prosthesis complications, the prosthesis with different materials were analysed, and hybride fabricated full arch prosthesis was introduced

Session 6 – Restorative strategies in full arch restorations
Moderation: Pintippa Bunyaratavej
11:05
In this lecture, we will focus on using the “PlaneSystem” which collects all relevant patient diagnostic data and then synchronizes it to match the actual anatomical situation in an extremely accurate way. It is an innovative approach for capturing and measuring patient-specific occlusal information. With this analog and software system, the parameters used to digitally design and manufacture restorations precisely reflect the same individual conditions as those in the patients mouth. Therefore, concrete values are established which can be utilized in subsequent treatment steps with a high degree of confidence in an analog or virtual environment.
Learning objectives
- participants will leave this session with a better understanding of;
- The benefits of incorporating analog steps in treatment which will be of great help on the digital side.
- How to find the right individual position of the maxilla and be able to transfer it accurately to the articulator using the “PlaneSystem”

Implant-supported fixed prostheses in the edentulous maxilla can be difficult because of anatomic limitations and high esthetic demand. The choice between cement and screw retention depends on factors such as esthetics, occlusion, retrievability, and passivity. The choice is also often governed by the ability to manage technical or biologic complications. In the edentulous maxilla, because of the bone trajectory and resorption pattern, unfavorable implant angulations may be encountered. In such situations, a conventional screw-retained prosthesis is difficult to design. This presentation describes the restoration of edentulous maxillae for a series of patients with different complete- arch fixed prosthesis designs. The clinical guidelines, including indications, advantages, and limitations of each design, will be discussed.

Peri-implantitis affects up to 20% of implant patients, posing significant challenges in prosthetic dentistry. This review highlights prosthetic strategies for its prevention and treatment, focusing on proper prosthesis design, material selection, and soft tissue management. Preventive measures, early diagnosis, and maintenance protocols are key to reducing peri-implantitis risk. Collaborative care between prosthodontists, periodontists, and patients is essential for improving implant success and longevity.
