Session 6 – Can we influence bone and soft tissue healing around implants?
Luca Cordaro
For an ideal implant-supported restoration, the surgical phase should be planned in advance and the implant should be placed according to well/known recommended three-dimensional parameters. This should leave enough space from the head of the implant, to the cervical part of the tooth’s anatomy, to be able to sculpt the provisional restoration according to the anatomy, height and soft tissue volume of the patient’s adjacent teeth. Soft tissue aesthetics should be modelled during the provisional phase of the treatment, bearing in mind that critical or subcritical contour changes have important clinical implications. During this lecture, concepts for ideal emergence profile during the provisional phase will be discussed and reviewed in order to optimice the esthetic result.
Learning objectives
- How to plan and execute an ideal emergence profile in an immediate implant placement procedure.
- Review concepts of critical and subcritical contour for sculpting periimplant soft tissues.
- Define the value of immediate provisionalization after osseointragration and soft tissue maturation.

Session 7 – Do digital technologies really help the implant surgeon?
Juan Blanco
Implant dentistry continues to evolve and one of the most efficient and modern treatment strategies is immediate loading. This lecture will illustrate novel full digital approaches like the Simplified Digital Protocol (SDP) and the Minimally Invasive Full Arch Protocol (MIFA). These innovative protocols will allow the clinicians to deliver the final prosthesis in a very cost-effective and efficient way.
Lecture objectives
- Identify the step-by-step surgical /prosthetic procedures in treating fully edentulous and partially edentulous patients
- Apply the Simplified Digital Protocol (SDP) or MIFA Protocol in your clinical practice as a routine
- Understand how to improve the practice by means of efficient procedures
Tiziano Testori
Digitalization and advanced technologies are constantly incorporated in implant dentistry. Mainly, computer supported implant planning and guided surgery.
It is well established that implant insulation using guides will enable a more precise outcome. However, to master these advanced tools and reach an accurate result, we must have a comprehensive understanding of the digital workflow to control process errors.
In this presentation, the digital workflow for dynamic and static guided implant placement will be introduced and challenged. Highlighting potential errors, alongside suggestions for amendments to prevent it.
Learning objectives
- Indicate the value of computer supported implant planning and guided surgery as a standard of care.
- Understand the inherent risk the digital tools present us with.
- Critically review of possible process errors in the workflow of dynamic and static guided surgery.

Session 8 – Hard tissue augmentation with the conventional approach
Michael Stimmelmayr
The long-term success of bone reconstruction depends of a precise diagnostic, atraumatic surgery, the amount of vascularisation and vitality of the grafted area, correct implant position as well as a systematic soft tissue augmentation. Autogenous bone grafts harvested from the mandible, and used following the split bone block (SBB) technique are offering many possibilities for intra operative facilities leading to a high vascular support of the grafted area which is important for stable long-term results. Splitting the thick cortical block to 2 or 3 thin blocks is augmenting the number of blocks allowing the reconstruction of larger atrophic crest and giving a better adaptation to the recipient site. Filling the space and gaps between the thin block and the remaining crest with particulate bone chips is reducing the time needed for revascularization of the graft improving its vitality compared to the original thick block.
Objectives
- Minimal invasive bone augmentation: the “carrot technique”
- Split bone block technique and biological concept
- Vertical 3D bone augmentation: the “Box technique”
- Technique of pedicle connective tissue flap.
Fouad Khoury
Dental implants are a successful and predictable treatment option for missing teeth, where most patients and clinicians seek this treatment to replace missing teeth. Favorable implant outcomes depend greatly on adequate bone and soft tissue for restoratively-driven implant placement, long-term function, and optimal esthetics. For the practicing clinician, predictability of grafting techniques and materials is extremely important where they must understand indications, advantages, disadvantages, risks, and complications. For many years, autogenous bone grafts have been the “gold standard” for bone grafting procedures. Is this still the case in 2023? When are block bone grafts indicated, and should all clinicians be able to offer these techniques to their patients? What is the role of allogenic, xenogenic, or synthetic block grafts? Or, have particulate grafts replaced block grafts entirely? This presentation will update the practicing clinician on advances in block bone grafting techniques and technologies, as well as their advantages, complications, and limitations.
Learning Objectives
- This presentation will discuss indications, advantages, and complications of block bone grafting to facilitate implant placement.
- This presentation will familiarize the participant with the various types of block bone grafting materials.
