Implantology

Which way is there to limit the suffering and the number of appointments of our patients to an absolute minimum?

Do not we all want to limit the suffering and the number of our patients‘ appointments to an absolute minimum? If there was a way to make our treatment more relaxed and efficient, would not we go for it? In the following video you will learn how to do implantation and impression with modern techniques in a…

Dr. Sönke Harder uses the All-On-4-Concept to create an immediate, temporary rehabilitation for a patient with periodontal desease. Using digital volume tomography made preoperational planning possible. Thus a surgical guide could also be fabricated preoperatively. Initially, a marginal incision next to the…

In the maxillary anterior area, the esthetic outcome is a critical determinant in the overall success of implant therapy and yet remains a challenge. Besides osseointegration, a long lasting soft tissue integration is a key factor for implant success, but restorative components may interact with the…

Professor Dr. Rainer Schmelzeisen, University of Freiburg, and his team conduct alveolar ridge splitting in an atrophic maxilla, both in the posterior and the anterior region. In the same session, implants are placed immediately within the split and expanded ridge. Before wound closure, the implants are…

In this operation an implant is placed in the region of the missing upper right molar. In order to obtain the bone thickness needed for the implant an orthograde sinus floor elevation is performed using the osteotome technique in connection with a bone substitute.

In the premolar region of the right maxilla, Dr. Marc Hinze, Gräfelfing/Germany, conducts bone augmentation and implant insertion in one session. Applying the GBR technique, two membranes - a bone-lamina membrane and an Evolution membrane (collagen membrane) - are placed to create and maintain space for bone…

Professor Dr. Markus Hürzeler, Munich/Germany, inserts a number of implants by means a drilling template. The provisional prosthesis which was made pre-operatively in the dental laboratory is tested then. Get to know the difficulties of immediate implantation and how Prof. Hürzeler solves this issues.

If periimplantitis has progressed to far an explantation might be inevitable. This procedure should be performed very careful to preserve as much bone as possible for the following therapy. Appl. Prof. Dr. Christian Mehl, Munich/Germany, performs such a surgery. In the same session he harvests autologous bone…

Dr. Marc Hinze, Gräfelfing/Germany, demonstrates the implantation of two implants in an augmented area in the mandible to replace teeth 36 and 37. Horizontal bone augmentation was conducted four months ago in order to increase bone volume at the implant site.
