Abstract:
Dental implants play predictability due to their high treatment cost and sky-high patient demands. Th e patients who require bone graft ing for dental implants are either complex from the very start or they are rendered complex by our planning and execution of the dental treatment. Th e treatment planning in dental implantology starts very early even before the extraction of the off ending tooth. In predictable cases if we have planned the journey of the patient correctly the need for bone graft ing remains basic and the whole procedure is minimally invasive. In complex dental implant cases bone graft ing is paramount in achieving the high success rates what we are proud of today. It enables us to place implants in the bony envelope and achieve maximum osseointegration. On the other hand, it increases the complexity of the treatment and raises the cost; especially autograft s leads to another surgical site and can prove difficult for the patients to accept. Th e amelioration in the graft materials has given us the liberty to choose the materials of diff erent signifi cance and apply them according to our needs. ‘A stitch in time saves nine’ is the hypothesis in bone graft ing and dealing with complex cases. Decent treatment planning and to predict the right time for bone graft ing is our most important job and the preservation of bone levels at the time of extraction or initial surgery saves a lot of hassle aft erwards. Th e speaker will share his experience for using diff erent graft materials and he will focus light on the procedures of predictable bone graft ing. Th e invasiveness of the procedure can be signifi cantly reduced by suitable planning and bone graft ing at the appropriate time. Learning objectives include: To understand the need for bone graft ing; to appreciate the indications of diff erent graft materials; to fi gure out the technique to reduce the complexity of the treatment; how can we maintain the bone levels during dental implants treatment? and; How can we tackle difficult cases of bone grafting?

Abstract:
With current technology Implant Surgeons, Restorative Dentists and technicians are now able to use low dose, cone beam CT data to produce precise drilling templates to help with implantation of any brand of implants. This talk will help the listener determine the optimal implant position, taking the existing bone as well as the planned prosthetical position into account. Simplifying the treatment planning with a clear treatment strategy not only benefits the oral health of the patient but the dentist can save treatment time and prevent many of the risks that are associated with implant treatment. After this digital template is validated by the dentist via the software, the surgical stent is created by a 3D printer. Because the complete treatment plan is made digitally before the procedure, in some cases it can make sense to prepare a provisional restoration using the template beforehand. Previously, it was considered unneeded or an excessive X-ray dose to use CAD/CAM guides in immediate implant cases but with the accuracy now available, this is no longer the case as the treatment plan is predictable and the provisional are accurate. The second part of the talk will discuss the use of digital implant planning to create a provisional crown with composite contouring of a stock abutment to maintain gingival size and shape leading to the ultimate in tooth replacement aesthetics.
