Soft Tissue Management in the Aesthetic Zone
Daniel ThomaExpert presenter PD Dr. Daniel Thoma is a Head of Academic Unit at the Clinic for Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics and Dental Material Sciences, University of Zurich, Switzerland. Long-term successful outcomes with implant therapy are based on a number of parameters. Among these, the critical assessment of the peri-implant soft tissues and subsequent therapeutical interventions are considered key factors. -

REAL-TIME NAVIGATION: THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA IN GUIDED IMPLANT SURGERY
Objectives: To demonstrate that dynamic guided surgery is as predictable as conventional surgery. Methods: Partially edentulous patients requiring a fixed rehabilitation were selected for this pilot study. No specific contraindications were established, and smokers were not excluded. An impression was taken pre-operatively using an irreversible hydrocolloid (Cavex CA37®) to fabricate a diagnostic cast for moulding the surgical stent (NaviStent®). Afterwards, a standard cone-beam CT (CBCT) scan was made with the NaviStent® in place using a Planmeca Promax 3-D Max®. Images were converted into DICOM files and transformed into a 3-D virtual model using the Navident® software. The potential implant locations were planned in a prosthesis-driven way. For preparing the osteotomy, the drilling axis of the handpiece and the twist drills were calibrated. The osteotomies were prepared at low speed using a high level of cooling. The navigation software guided the drilling procedure in real time. Before installing implants, an extra calibration procedure was performed for tracking the implant. The aim of this pilot study was to determine the clinical outcome up to 12 months post-operatively for implants installed using the Navident® guided surgery system. Results: Partially edentulous men (n = 6) and women (n = 7) were included in this pilot study (mean age 52.15 years; range 20–75). Out of these 13 patients, two were current smokers of more than 10 cigarettes per day. Twenty implants were inserted. No mechanical or biological complications occurred during the surgical procedure, and no major complaints were reported, such as hemorrhage, sinus pathology or severe post-operative pain. No implants were lost up to 1 year after insertion, resulting in 100% implant survival. Conclusions: Based on the results of this pilot study, real-time navigation is a promising technique. However, there is not yet enough evidence to show that the method is as safe and predictable as conventional implant surgery. -
Implantation with Simultaneous Augmentation
Grunder, UeliProcedure: - Case evaluation - Incision technique - Implant placement - Membrane adjustment and fixation - Introduction of replacement material - Flap mobilization - Suture technique Contents: Implantation was desired for replacement of a missing upper canine tooth and the adjacent lateral incisor tooth. The initial case evaluation revealed a relatively narrow gap between these two teeth in addition to extensive hard and soft-tissue defects. We selected an incision technique that made it possible to do the augmentation work yet subsequently achieve a tension-free flap closure. Since the bony defect was large while the available space was limited, we had to go for the best possible compromise in regard to implant insertion. After the implants had been inserted, augmentation was carried out using a non-absorbable, titanium-reinforced membrane, bone replacement material, and an absorbable membrane. Extreme flap mobilization was needed to achieve flap closure. An optimal suture technique was used to complete the surgery. -

Cell-to-Cell Communication - Inflammatory Reactions
Stadlinger, Bernd / Terheyden, HendrikVisualizing the invisible while experiencing a fascination with science is the great challenge that Cell-to-Cell Communication, representing an all-new genre, has set out to meet. A spectacularly sophisticated computer animation in HD quality depicts the highly complex processes of intercellular interaction during an inflammatory periodontal reaction complete with the messenger molecules implicated. The various cell types constitute the main cast of the film, using a finely tuned communication process in their quest to destroy the bacterial invaders, with messenger molecules as supporting cast. A stunning didactic and dramatic experience! Outline: - Biofilm - Gingivitis and the Innate Immune Defense - Periodontitis and the Adaptive Immune Defense - Cleaning and Regeneration -

ASSESSMENT OF REGIONAL HAEMODYNAMICS OF THE ALVEOLAR BONE IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC GENERALISED PERIODONTITIS
Objectives: The objective of our study was to develop a method of assessing the functional state of vessels of the jaw bone in patients with periodontal disease. Methods: We examined 77 patients with chronic periodontitis. Clinical assessment was made of the state of periodontal tissues in patients (hygienic index, depth of periodontal pockets, tooth mobility) and radiographic studies (to determine the degree of bone resorption), and regional blood flow of the periodontal tissues by the method of reproductory. We selected 25 patients with chronic periodontitis and 25 with intact periodontium for the control group. Reproductory were conducted using computerised software developed by Diatom and electrode systems. Due to the configuration and number of electrodes in the designed system, the procedure was more comfortable for both investigators and researchers. As a result, we managed to achieve stable fixation of the electrode system within the patient’s oral cavity, which was not possible in previous studies. As a consequence, repeatable results and a standardised methodology were achieved. Results: Patients with intact periodontium of the RIshowed 0.31±0.16 blood saturation. Peripheral vascular tone reflecting the temporal relation of systolic and diastolic waves was 18.74 ± 0.2; resistance to the flow of blood in the regional blood vessels (IPS) was 136.96± 5,6; IEwas equal 76.19 ± 4.2. Similar studies on patients with chronic generalised periodontitis, for comparison with data obtained with standard values, showed lower RI values of 64.5% and 0.11% ± 0.4. PTS gave higher values of 19.4 ± 0.25, which exceeds the same indicator in intact periodontium (3.4%). The value of peripheral resistance was slightly lower (by 3.8%) and amounted to 131.72. The elasticity of blood vessels of patients with periodontitis was lower than that in intact periodontium by a factor of 4 and amounted to RUR of 18.43 ± 0.27. Conclusion: Thus, in result of conducted research we can conclude about the functional changes in regional haemodynamics of the alveolar bone in patients with chronic generalised periodontitis, which consists in reducing the elasticity of the vascular walls, and increased peripheral vascular tone. Marked changes are confirmed by the phenomenon of reducing blood vessels. -
