Royal College of Surgeons implant day

Recorded at the Royal College of Surgeons England, this is a 4 part series on bone regeneration and revascularisation.

Treatment of complex implant cases - Dr. Patrick Palacci 

In this video, Dr. Palacci discusses techniques for soft, and hard tissue, for aesthetic and complex zone implants.

Aims and objectives:

• Learn techniques on improving hard and soft tissue around implants for good aesthetic outcomes
• Techniques following extraction to maintain and improve hard and soft tissue
• Techniques on precision of implant placement – tips on getting precise positioning and angles in multiple implants esp. in the aesthetic zone
• Use of implant positioning guides
• How to recreate hard tissue support – for implants and for soft tissues and to optimise implant stability, positioning and aesthetic outcomes
• Gain knowledge of the alternatives to autogenous bone grafts, in areas of narrow implants - discussion of narrow implants and biomaterials – to gain optimal aesthetic results
• Use of narrow implants in functional and aesthetic positions – some applications
• Narrow diameter implants in the posterior, without sinus elevation, and with sinus elevation
• Narrow diameter implants in very thin, knife edge resorbed ridges of the edentulous patient and how biomaterials can be used
• Use of biomaterials – some applications
• Horizontal augmentation
• Management of implant failures in very complex cases, and reconstruction of ridges
• Placement of implants and biomaterials with very complex cases

Collegenated biomaterials. The science of complex cases - Dr. Ulf Nannmark

In this video, Dr. Nannmark discusses various biomaterials used to reconstruct hard tissue with a special focus on xenogenic biomaterials . Very useful lecture for those wanting to know more about hard tissue.

Aims and objectives:

• Discussion on different biomaterials
• Focus on xenogenic biomaterials
• The effect of biomaterials in-vitro cultures and in some in-vivo animal studies
• The use of PRF membranes in socket preservation, together with mp3 bone biomaterial – is socket preservation useful using these clinical examples
• The use of bone biomaterials and reconstruction in peri-implantitis – understanding the possibilities
• The protocol used for the management of cases of peri-implantitis
• Block augmentation, in very resorbed ridges, using spongious blocks
• Use of biomaterials in socket preservation, peri-implantitis, very resorbed ridges vertically and in sinus augmentation cases
• Equine bone block in surgical vertical and lateral bone augmentation

Thinking outside the box in dental implantology - Dr. Ziv Mazor 

In this video, Dr. Mazor provides some novel new techniques in bone regeneration using the dentine graft , and the use of osseodensification as a novel new process to consider instead of sinus lifting.
