In the past years the dental implantology has undergone the development mostly due to new possibilities created by regenerative procedures of hard tissues. There are many surgical techniques as well as biomaterials available nowadays. Today we treat more and more sophisticated and compromised cases. That is why the qualification for the proper procedure should be based on precise biological and clinical considerations. Based on scientific research and clinical experience the lecture will illustrate different approaches in regenerative surgery.
Guided Bone Regeneration and bone block procedures
One of the most important factor in bone reconstructive surgery is the stabilisation of the grafted or implanted biomaterial.
During the workshop two different protocols will be presented. The participants will learn and practise the giuded bone regenerative procedures with the use of resorbable membranes and ksenograft particles and the autogenous bonę block harvesting and stabilisation.
Dr Marko Magic
Use of digital tools becomes predominant in dental practice. Acquisition of digital data like CBCT scans and intra-oral scans is turning into standard of care. Various digital tools are applicable to dental implant treatments, including virtual implant planning, guided surgery, digital impressions, prosthesis fabrication.
Despite the fact that implant therapy is considered highly predictable, poor treatment planning and inadequate implant positioning can compromise the treatment outcome. Correct implant positioning has numerous advantages, including favorable esthetics and long-term stability of peri-implant hard and soft tissues as a result of optimal occlusion and implant loading. Proper implant position is crucial for long-term success of the therapy.
Virtual implant planning enables implant placement in prosthetically driven position and it is a starting point of digital workflow for implant treatment. The implant planning software is necessary for digitalization of implant treatment. This presentation will cover possibilities of RealGUIDE software package for virtual implant planning and management of digitally acquired data. Transfer of the virtual treatment plan to the patient can be performed with very high accuracy using fully guided surgery. Design of the surgical template with complete digital workflow as well as differences in protocols for partially and fully edentulous patients will be discussed in the presentation.

Over the years, the best choice after tooth extraction was a controversial reaction. In this way the immediate or delayed implant placement is a very important decision for clinical success. Aesthetic success of a tooth restoration or replacement is judged by its invisible and perfect integration with the surrounding dentition.
The correct implant position is one of the key factors that can influence the timing protocols. Thus, in the lecture, it will be taken into consideration the correct implant placement in different clinical situations. Also, we need to know implant diameters and design in order to obtain primary stability. The selection between bone level and tissue level implant will be in discussion with what kind of restoration is a better choice.
Another factor is the guided bone regeneration around the implant placement. In this session, the participants will strive to understand the biology of the wound healing of the extraction socket, review both bone and membrane selection, and review step-by-step techniques for predictable extraction socket grafting.
It is very important in immediate implant placement to choose from the type of bone options and techniques by selecting bone packing or socket augmentation.
In conclusion, the decision to choose between immediate vs delayed implant placement, the materials for guided bone regeneration and type of restorations will help the clinicians in their daily practice. This concept has a positive impact on reducing the peri-implant bone and soft tissue resorption.

Building a Solid Foundation for Oral Rehabilitation with LASSO GBR
Historically, alveolar ridge preservation and development have focused on volumetric changes with little attention to tissue quality . The aim of this presentation is to discuss disadvantages, and realistic short- and long-term expectations of traditional methods of alveolar ridge development for implant therapy and to discuss advantages of LASSO GBR, a contemporary method of alveolar ridge development, designed to maximize tissue quality. At the end of this presentation, clinicians should be able to know and understand:
- Rationale for absorbable scaffolds in tissue augmentation procedures
- Material selection based on material properties and features
- Management of complex alveolar ridge defect

Allograft Biomaterials – The “Diamond Standard” in Regenerative Implant Dentistry
Amongst a plethora of materials available in regenerative implant dentistry, one thing we know for sure is Autogenous bone is still considered the “gold standard”. However, due to the morbidities associated with harvesting this material it can sometimes be a deterrent for patients. Therefore we propose the use of allograft Biomaterials as the “Diamond Standard” in regenerative implant dentistry, with comparable results in a less invasive more predictable manor.
The aim of this presentation will be to show the diverse use of allograft biomaterials based on defect morphology.
Dr Alejandro Prieto
During this session participants will learn how to apply 100% digital protocols in any type of implant rehabilitation.
Step by step Implant rehabilitation using digital protocols session:
- Integration of all digital protocols in our dental practice
- Digital surgery planning via Real Guided Software
- Computer based Design of surgical guides
- Provisional prostheses design
- Computer-assisted placement of implants/full arch
Advanced clinical cases session. Presentation of clinical cases with ascending complexity, executed via fully digital workflow. From single implant rehabilitation in the aesthetic zone to full arch in atrophic maxilla.
Dr Ronda Marco
Bone augmentation procedures, including GBR (guided bone regeneration), consent the reconstruction of the missing volumes so as to succeed in achieving functional and well-integrated implant-prosthetic rehabilitation.
In the areas under discussion, however, the application of bone reconstruction procedures – albeit executed to the utmost perfection – does not ensure a uniform aesthetic result.
It is widespread knowledge that the harmonious integration of implant-supported prosthetic restoration in the aesthetic area depends on the presence of the papilla.
“Papilla or not papilla, this is the question…”
The purpose of this lecture is to assess, in the aesthetic area, the management of missing teeth and associated bone defects, as well as to comprehend the viability of integrating prosthetic restoration in a mimetic context which comprises scallops, papillae and symmetric morphologies.
