Implants: A Periodontal Perspective

Dr. Sebastian G. Ciancio, USA

8.30am - 11.00am  Theatre, Level 3

 

Abstract

Periodontal disease is a significant risk factor for implant failure. It is clear that the pathogens associated with peri-implant mucositis are similar to those associated with periodontitis. The treatment of periodontitis/peri-implantitis involves the reduction/eradication of periodontal pathogens. Following effective therapy, beneficial and pathogenic species recolonize the subgingival area. Microbiologic studies have shown that a complex microflora, including periodontal pathogens, become established subgingivally around implants within one week after abutment connections, and this microflora continues to persist subgingivally for long time periods. In addition, it has been shown that healthy implants presented with low plaque scores and less periodontal bleeding on probing. In contrast, peri-implantitis is

associated with elevated plaque scores and increased bleeding on probing. Current concepts in treatment of peri-implant mucositis will be reviewed as well as various medications which may contribute to this condition.

 

Learning Objectives

• To provide an understanding of the relationship between periodontitis and implant failure

• To provide an understanding of the microbiology associated with peri-implant mucositis

• To learn about the various methods of treating peri-implant mucositis

• To learn about the role of medications relative to peri-implant mucositis

Hall 404, Level 4

 

Abstract

This presentation, spanning eight hours, will discuss the key areas for efficient aesthetic diagnosis and smile design. Topics to be covered include:

A. Aesthetic Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

B. Aesthetic Quality Control – Keys to Success

• Identify the typical shading effects for the young tooth

• Plan the arrangement and prescribe imperfections for life-like restorations

• Learn essential strategies for communication with the laboratory

• Establish selection criteria between ceramic systems based on aesthetic performance

• Systematize all-ceramic crown systems for cement selection

• Establish simple precautions to maximize the prognosis of all-ceramic crowns

• Demonstrate a predictable all-porcelain crown cementation technique

• Discuss preparation variations for porcelain veneers and threequarter crowns

Implants in Atrophic Bone: Simplified Alternatives to Lateral Sinus lifts and Cortical Bone Grafting

Dr. Shadi Daher, USA

 

1.30pm - 4.00pm 

Theatre, Level 3

 

Abstract

The Plateau-designed Bicon implants have proven themselves over the decades to be reliable, predictable and versatile. These implants have always included consistently successful 8mm-long implants. These implants and newer, shorter (6mm and 5mm long) implants afford the practitioner an innovative and less invasive technique for implant placement in the atrophic posterior maxilla and mandible.

 

Learning Objectives

• Understand the scientific and physiologic basis of the short implant’s success

• Learn about the minimally invasive maxillary antreplasty techniques

Tooth and Implant Supported Overdentures – Biomechanical Solutions for Success

Dr. David A. Felton, USA

5.30pm - 8.00pm  Theatre, Level 3

 

Abstract

Tooth or implant retained overdentures are rapidly becoming the standard of care for treatment of the completely edentulous mandible, and for treatment of the terminal dentition. This presentation will describe treatment planning decisions that are required to promote successful tooth and implant retained overdenture outcomes, and will provide clinical research data to support the use of implants to support and retain both maxillary and mandibular complete dentures. Longevity data for both tooth and implant retained overdenture prostheses will be presented. The biomechanics of overdentures will be discussed, and available attachment systems presented.

 

Learning Objectives

• Understand the biomechanics of tooth and implant retained overdenture prostheses, and be able to use this knowledge for planning tooth retention and implant placement (location and number) treatment for the partially and completely edentulous patient

• Understand the differences in maxillary and mandibular overdenture prostheses, particularly the biomechanical forces placed on the abutments in each arch

• Understand the long-term survival of teeth and implants, and prosthetic complications, in the overdenture patient populatio

Workshops

 


Hands-on Workshop:Human Cadaver*
Dr. Pascal Valentini, France
9.00am - 12.00pm
KTP Advanced Surgery Training Centre, NUS

Limited Attendance Course
 

Overview
We often find that a number of our patients do not have the required bone volume for successful dental implant/prosthetic rehabilitation. The selection of the appropriate bone graft material and the application
of the most up-to-date augmentation procedures are extremely important in optimizing the jawbone anatomy.


Dr. Valentini’s cadaver course is clinically focused and evidence based. It is divided into three parts: Surgical techniques for maxillary sinus grafting lateral approach, utilization of Piezo Electric Bone Surgery and bone graft, and direct loading of implants

 

Learning Objectives
• To determine indications and contra indications of maxillary sinus grafting
• To optimize the results of this surgery taking advantage of the sinus anatomy
• To utilize ultrasonic surgery
• To manage intra-operative complications of maxillary sinus grafting
• To be able to install implants and the graft at the same time

Hands-on Workshop: Human Cadaver*
Dr. Bernard Giesenhagen, Germany
1.00pm - 4.00pm
KTP Advanced Surgery Training Centre, NUS
Limited Attendance Course

 

Overview
Tooth loss almost inevitably involves a degree of alveolar bone and soft tissue loss. Therefore, the aesthetic and functional expectations of our patients often require that such defects first be remedied prior to initiating prosthetic or implant-supported treatment.

The technique we describe here demonstrates that when using close-fitting circular bone grafts, both the vertical three-dimensional augmentation of bony defects and implantation should be performed in a single procedure. The method described combines a bone-block graft and implantation in a single intervention. Dr. Giesenhagen’s Cadaver course is clinically focused and evidence based. It is divided into two parts: the ring technique for vertical augmentation with bone rings and direct loading on ring bone graft.

 

Learning Objectives
• Understand and perform a vertical augmentation with autogenous bone rings and simultaneous implantation

Hands-on Workshop: How to Incorporate Implants in your Daily Practice
Dr. Roland Glauser, Switzerland
5.00pm - 8.00pm
Room 301, Level 3
Limited Attendance Course

 

Overview
Today, clinicians have access to an astounding array of treatment concepts, new technologies, and tools and materials. Moreover, during the last two decades, implant-borne reconstructions have become a standard procedure in oral rehabilitation. Nevertheless, if implant therapy is to be incorporated in daily practice, one has to respect today’s standards in treatment planning and execution in order to achieve successful results.

 

Learning Objectives
• Current treatment concepts using dental implants
• Long-term prognosis of implant-borne and tooth-supported reconstructions
• Proper patient selection and starting cases
• Step-by-step treatment planning and execution in simple and advanced cases
