FULL PROGRAM

Development of crestal bone stability. Surgical part

9.00- 13.00
Influence of vertical soft tissues on crestal bone stability. Does platform switch save the bone? Influence of implant placement depth on crestal bone stability. What is the importance of implant-abutment connection stability? Bone remineralization and corticalisation processes in thick tissues. What is the role of bone in “Zero bone loss concepts”?

Four novel methods to increase vertical soft tissue thickness
a.) subcrestal implant placement
b.) Flattening of the alveolar bone
c.) “Tent pole” technique
d.) Vertical soft tissue thickening

13.00-14.00 Lunch

Maintenance of crestal bone stability. Prosthetic part

14.00-17.00
How to control cement remnants after cementation. Supragingival margins and individual abutments. Use of rubber-dam for cement prevention. Relation between cement and peri-implant disease. Screw-retained restorations. Use of Ti-base for fabrication of restorations.

Subgingival prosthetic materials. Zirconia, titanium, ceramics – which is better. Use of ultra-polished zirconia for implant restorations. Composition of peri-implant soft tissues. Supragingival materials. Ceramics, e.max, monolithic Zr – where to use and why?
