Esthetics in Implant Dentistry: A delicate combination between 3D implant positioning, critical zone handling and precise selection of the prosthetic components

Abstract:

The innovation in digital products and processes for implantology is constantly increasing. This success is due to the fact that digital workflows provides today a reliable therapeutic solution. The use of these techniques is not only interesting for immediate loading rehabilitations but also for the tissues supporting implants quality and stability. This lecture will show that the key to negotiate the best emergence profile is the use of 3D guided surgery together with novel prosthetic hybrid components insuring in one clinical step, an optimal/stable gingiva contour, and easy data acquisition and provisionalisation.

Learning Objectives:

1. Provide an overview of the latest developments in computer imaging technologies as the 3D segmentation, guiding systems and Abutment design for an optimal tissue stability
2. Understand the long term benefits of guided surgery together with a novel abutment design, for tissues supporting implants?
3. Through well documented cases, the latest treatment protocols, like, Socket shield will be detailed step by step.
