Implantology - Estetic Zone

In this highly difficult surgery Prof. Marc Hürzeler, Munich/Germany, inserts an implant in the anterior region with simultaneously placing a mandibula bone graft and a subepithelial soft tissue graft obtained from the palatinal area.

This case shows the replacement of a front maxillary tooth due to a horizontal fracture below the gum line. As a prerequisite for a perfect outcome of the red white aesthetics, the optimal management of the extraction alveolus is necessary. Three dimensional imaging and virtual planning of the implant are…

Because of the missing three-dimensional bone supply a bone splittingand spreading has been carried out. Subsequently the implant isinserted. The gingival recession on the neighboring teeth is build upby using a connective tissue graft.

A reconstruction of the maxillary front is presented in the following video on surgery: the presented patient had his two middle incisors extracted several years ago as a result of trauma and the lateral incisors had been treated endodontically.

This scientific lecture from Dr. Weisgold explains in detail the histological details of the soft and hard tissue around implants and its impact on the single tooth implant.

Dr. Griffin, Boston/USA, explains his concept of placing implants in the aesthetic zone. Difficult cases including a case of an implant removal are shown. He introduces a concept of how to deal with implants not placed correctly in the vertical and horizontal dimension.

Dr. Nitzan Bichacho demonstrates step by step his treatment concept.

Dr. Kan demonstrates perfect socket preservation and implant placement in the esthetic zone.

Prof. Hegenbarth discusses the development of two new veneering materials and the tecniques used to satisfy the esthetic needs for alumina und Zirconia based restorations. The specifics of this concept will be presented - ergonomics, material science, technology and creativity cometogether to achieve achieve…
