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. -
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 -

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. -
Covering a Recession with a Soft Tissue Transplant
Heinz, Bernd / Jepsen, SörenObjectives: Use of a soft tissue graft for recession coverage at tooth 23 and for gingival augmentation. Content: 1. Incision around tooth 23, intra-sulcular preparation, mobilization of coronal sliding flap, and pre-flap preparation. 2. Root smoothing, reduction of ground cavity with diamond burs from Perioset system. 3. Preparation and harvesting of connective tissue flap from palate, Emdogain application, and wound closure. 4. Placement of interrupted interdental sutures for fixation of connective tissue flap. -

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.

Minimally Invasive Implant Surgery based on Three-Dimensional CT Treatment Planning for Total Rehabilitation
Beck, FrankProcedure: - Incision Technique 36, 44 - Gentle Flap Mobilization - Pilot Hole Preparation using a CT Template - Sequential Preparation and Implantation - Bone Removal and Augmentation - Wound Closure Contents: Systematic Total Rehabilitation is very challenging, especially in patients with Periodontal Disease with Loss of Supporting Structures. Precise Treatment Planning is essential. The Treatment of Periodontal Disease begins after Conservative Pretreatment. It is not possible to predict the Soft Tissue Esthetic Outcome before the Healing Process is completed. We selected Endosteal Implants for the Augmentation of Lost Support Zones in this Atrophic Mandible. A Three-Dimensional Analysis was performed as the Basis for Navigated Implantation. After Completion of the Periodontal Treatment and Implantation, the patient must wait for approximately 6 months for the Completion of the Healing Process before Prosthetic Reconstruction Procedures can be initiated. -

Authorship And Publication Of Research Findings
based on the book chapter by William V. Giannobile Summary This chapter describes how the volume of published research papers has risen over the last fifty years. The reasons it gives include not only dissemination of the findings and adding to the body of evidence but also the fulfilment of professional requirements -- for sponsors, for promotion and tenure. The author points to the valuable resources provided by the ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) and COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics), and lists what must be done when preparing a manuscript for submission. The tendency to include more authors is seen in all areas of research, including orodental, particularly with respect to dental practice-based research networks. Consequently, it is very important to be consistent and fair when assigning authorship, as distinct from contributorship. Here, the two roles are clearly distinguished, with a list of four ICJME criteria that must be met by authors. Reference is made to the publishing standards for common types of studies, such as CONSORT for randomized controlled clinical trials, which addresses how trials are designed, analyzed and interpreted; and STROBE for non-randomized clinical investigations, such as case reports, case series and cohort studies. The chapter also addresses issues such as over-citation, intellectual rights, gift authorships, redundancy, plagiarism, scientific misconduct and transparency, and points out the requirement by most peer-reviewed journals for international trial registration.
