The Total Digital Implant Planning and Restoration Concept – Are we there yet?

Masterclass

The most important phase in a complex implant case preparation is a precise pre-operative diagnosis and understanding of the treatment aims and the case limitations.

With the aid of digital planning of the case through digital modelling and softwares, the clinician can predict anatomic conditions and occlusal limitations. It allows the clinician to transfer the planned 3-D implant position from the software into the surgical field, to plan in advance the restored teeth in respect to the occlusal relationship and to the optimal implant position, to produce in advance a Cad/Cam provisional restoration and to decide regarding the surgical and prosthodontic protocols to choose such as late vs. immediate loading following a conventional flap vs. flap-less implant surgery.

But what about the precision of the available intraoral scanners in oral implantology? Are we there yet?

During the presentation the relevant and most updated literature and actual conclusions will be presented with few complex clinical cases.

Staged extraction approach: Transition from hopeless dentition to full-arch fixed-implant-supported rehabilitation

Transition from a hopeless dentition to a fixed implant-supported full-arch reconstruction can be difficult for patients, if wearing a transitional removable denture is involved. In addition, an increased risk of trauma to bone-augmentated areas and to the implant-bone interface exists when using a removable transitional complete denture during the implant healing period; such risk can compromise implant success or increase crestal bone loss around implants before the final restoration. This lecture describes a treatment approach that allows replacement of the hopeless dentition with an osseointegrated fixed prosthesis, without rendering the patient totally edentulous before the delivery of the final implant-supported prosthesis. A staged approach using a few hopeless teeth to support a provisional fixed restoration during the healing process can help avoid discomfort and improve implants’ outcome. Clinical cases and treatment plans are used to illustrate the staged approach protocol. This protocol addresses patients’ psychological need to remain dentate during partial or full-mouth rehabilitation, while providing good esthetics and function during restoration of a dental arch.
