Session 5 – Bone grafting

Moderation: Yasushi Nakajima

09:00

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is an essential surgical technique for predictable reconstruction of lost alveolar bone, particularly in preparation for implant placement. This lecture will delve into the foundational surgical principles that drive successful GBR outcomes and explore strategies that mitigate potential post-surgical complications. Through a comprehensive approach combining clinical case analyses and the latest in evidence-based research, participants will deepen their understanding of

  • the surgical principles behind GBR
  • identification and management of common GBR-related complications, such as membrane exposure

The principles of bone augmentation include the understanding of the process of bone healing in regards to the size and direction of the grafting.

Based on these biological principles the advantages and limitations of various grafting techniques and materials will be discussed using clinical examples. Overall, a comprehensive understanding of these principles is essential for a predictable and succesful bone augmentation.

Learning Objectives

  • Basic principles of graft healing and identify different types of bone defects
  • Know competence of different grafting materials and its influence on healing time
  • Identify different grafting procedures and their advantages and limitations.
  • Know key-points of predictable and succesful bone augmentation

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.

Session 8 – Peri-implantitis

Moderation: Fu Jia Hui & Lin Ye

15:45

Implant complications have become a major challenge for dentists who place implants. This lecture is designed to help dentists understand how implant design can be a preventive measure for peri-implantitis. It will delve into the biologic background of implant attachment/adhesion and the implant-abutment interface. Approaches to avoiding these complications will be thoroughly discussed. Furthermore, a brief highlight of how to properly manage peri-implantitis defects will be illustrated.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize how implant design can prevent some incidences of peri-implant complications.
  • Understand the biological background behind implant design and key peri-implant phenotypes around dental implants.
  • Learn how to treat peri-implantitis defects.

Hom-Lay Wang

16:25

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.
