How to increase patient acceptance of implants
There can
be no implant cases without patient acceptance. It is imperative,
therefore, that patients be educated in a way that allows them to
understand and accept implant treatment and allow clinicians to help
them improve their lives with dental implants. This presentation will
address topics that will assist the clinician in communicating about
dental implants with their patients.

Esthetic and flexible – predictable results with Straumann® Bone Level Implants of the Straumann® Dental Implant System
The Straumann® Bone Level Implant line has been part of the Straumann®
Dental Implant System for 2 years now. It brings additional esthetics
and flexibility into dental treatment procedures. With a prosthetic
perspective focusing on the importance of pre-planning, a step-by-step
case will demonstrate how these concepts can be translated into
clinical practice to ensure the best esthetic (soft tissue) outcomes.
Results of pre-clinical and clinical studies demonstrate not only the
success and reliability of this implant line but also its versatility.
Straumann SLActive®, with its very high success rates and
superior osseointegration, continues to be the gold standard in surface
technology and provides the surgeon with confidence when treating high
risk and demanding cases.

Small diameter implants – where advanced materials make a difference
Small
diameter implants are especially beneficial in cases of narrow bone
ridges. Due to their reduced dimensions bone grafting procedures might
be avoided. But narrow implants are as well susceptible to complication
due to their reduced strength or reduced osseointegrated surface. In
order to achieve a wider use of narrow diameter implants a new material
has been developed. The new material combines high strength and
outstanding osseointegration. The newest outcomes of various
pre-clinical and clinical studies show very promising results. Cases
will show the use of these narrow implants in the daily practice.

Guided bone regeneration – innovation continues
Guided
bone regeneration using barrier membranes is a well documented and
established procedure to augment bone in conjunction with dental
implant surgery. The availability of a synthetic and absorbable
membrane that can be customized intra-operatively for an individual
defect represents a potential improvement for future GBR procedures.
Different experimental and clinical studies have evaluated a newly
developed synthetic hydrogel for use in bone regeneration therapy. The
studies demonstrated that the hydrogel is a highly effective barrier
membrane for bone regeneration and that the in situ formed material can
simplify clinical handling.

Highly esthetic tooth restoration – advanced ceramic technology in clinical practice
The
new generation of all-ceramic solutions provides an excellent
foundation for restorations that are virtually indistinguishable from
natural teeth. The latest ceramic abutments can be pre-shaded and
anatomically formed or even fully customized with CADCAM technology.
They can offer multiple advantages, including enhanced esthetics,
greater efficiency and more predictability for a natural-looking tooth
base.
The use of lithium disilicate ceramic materials can furthermore
provide a combination of choice for highly esthetic outcomes in the
final restoration. Advantages and limitations of each all-ceramic
restorative option will be discussed and an attempt to identify
possible indications will be made through the presentation of
challenging clinical situations.
