    Soft Tissue Management in the Aesthetic Zone

    Daniel Thoma
    Expert 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.

    Implantation with Simultaneous Augmentation

    Grunder, Ueli
    Procedure: - 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.

    Aesthetic upper anterior implant placement case

    Dr. Dominik Büchi
    Dr. Dominik Büchi performed a ridge preservation to keep the soft tissue volume. He then placed an implant 8 weeks later with simultaneous GBR. The final emergence profile was created by a fixed provisional crown.

    Cell-to-Cell Communication - Inflammatory Reactions

    Stadlinger, Bernd / Terheyden, Hendrik
    Visualizing 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

    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.

    The Carnevale Technique: Hemisection/Trisection of Molars with Furcation Involvement

    Hürzeler, Markus B.
    Procedure - Apical Flap Repositioning - Trisection of the Upper Molar - Extraction of the Distobuccal Root - Tangential Preparation of the Abutment Teeth - Temporary Relining Contents Molars with furcation involvement have a shorter long-term prognosis for tooth retention than single-rooted teeth. Apart from replacing these teeth with implants, they can also be treated by hemisection or trisection with the goal of eliminating furcation and creating single-root conditions. Studies on the long-term stability of teeth treated by hemisection / trisection show mixed results. Some investigators have found failure rates of up to 40 percent. In Gianfranco Carnevale's group, on the other hand, success rates of more than 90 percent have been reported for a 10-year follow-up period. Pretreatment: Initial work on the abutment teeth, which had grade II-III furcation involvement, was done six to eight weeks after conservative periodontal therapy in preparation for placement of the long-term temporary. Preparation was done tangentially, up to the bone level, to spare as much dental hard tissue as possible while eliminating all recesses and root concavities. A metal-reinforced long-term temporary was used to splint the prepared teeth. Endodontic treatment of the affected teeth was subsequently performed. Surgical procedure: Apical displacement of the gingiva around the involved teeth was done before incision. A mucosal flap was created on the buccal and palatal sides. Trisection of the teeth was then performed. After dissecting and excising the distobuccal root, intraoperative preparation of the abutment teeth was carried out. Temporary relining was another important step, the objective of which was to splint the root and to prevent tilting. Further treatment: Impressions for the definitive restoration were made six months postoperative. The restoration margins of the tangential preparation were defined using a master model. The definitive reconstruction had fine metal margins.
