Prosthetic management for implant-supported full mouth rehabilitation is a complex procedure that requires expertise and a broad vision. Unfortunately, the means involved in prosthetic treatment often overshadow the essence of our achievements. It becomes increasingly evident that the efficiency of technology and science is overshadowing the philosophy and humanistic dimension of our profession.
Albert Einstein once said, “The perfection of the means and the confusion of the goal seem to characterize our age.” This presentation aims to demonstrate that in the treatment of full mouth restoration, the objective must be clearly identified because it dictates the selection of the means.
Rather than seeking an ideal treatment, which is unrealistic given the multitude of contributing factors, we must ask ourselves:
What does the patient want?
What does the patient need?
What can we achieve?
These questions bring up issues of our responsibilities and values:
Should we respond to the patient's request regardless of its relevance and give them what they desire, or should we educate them?
Can we consider that standardization and protocol should govern our practice?
Should we maintain our identity, creativity, and imagination to preserve the artistic dimension of our profession?
Can we believe that the quality of our achievements is exclusively dependent on products and technology?
Every day, we must manage increasingly complex cases from both aesthetic and prosthetic perspectives, often involving dental elements intended for extraction. The clinical and social needs of patients demand fast treatments within increasingly limited budgets. Clinicians must handle a significant amount of information and variables to finalize rehabilitation optimally. Over the last decade, technology has provided many diagnostic and technological tools to redesign the mouth using prosthetic software, which was previously managed solely by technicians. This advancement speeds up the initial phase and the finalization of the treatment, reducing stress and increasing the involvement of the patient.
Patient demands and expectations in implant dentistry are increasingly high. They seek more aesthetic results with minimal morbidity and in shorter treatment times. Various approaches and prosthetic designs are available for full mouth rehabilitations. In some cases, vertical bone reduction is necessary to hide the prosthetic transition in the smile line or to create enough vertical space for prosthetics. However, patients often find FP3 prosthetic solutions unnatural, uncomfortable, and difficult to clean.
A perio-prostho approach with FP1 prosthetic design (without artificial gum) allows clinicians to restore the natural tissue architecture around implant-supported rehabilitations, providing the desired aesthetics and comfort. This approach requires complex and precise reverse planning, mastering implant 3D positioning, and soft tissue grafting procedures. Provisionals play a crucial role in managing emergence profiles throughout the process to the final restoration.
The precision of digital workflows significantly improves outcomes in these sensitive procedures, enhancing aesthetics and avoiding additional reconstruction compared to conventional approaches. Digital prosthetic tools guide the clinician through a more predictable and comfortable path during both the surgical and prosthetic phases, ensuring the final result is accurate and closely aligned with the initial plan.
This session will focus on the FP3 approach in full arch implantology, specifically for treating patients with atrophic jaws. The speaker will discuss both bone augmentation techniques and the use of native bone for immediate loading, offering a comprehensive view of managing complex cases.
The session will cover the native bone perspective, focusing on immediate loading protocols. This approach demonstrates how implants can be placed and loaded in patients with sufficient native bone, reducing treatment time and improving patient satisfaction. Clinical case studies will illustrate the practical application and benefits of immediate loading in full arch rehabilitations.
Osseointegrated oral implants have been successfully reported for over four decades. Prosthetically-driven implant positioning requires a sufficient volume of bone in the desired position. However, as a result of trauma or infectious diseases such as advanced periodontitis, sufficient bone volume is frequently lacking. Regardless the numerous surgical techniques described in the literature that aim at regenerating bone in a vertical and horizontal dimension, clinicians still struggle when faced with challenging vertical defects. The use of autogenous bone could be a viable option, however, it clearly causes discomfort to the patient, increases morbidity, and undergoes a rapid degree of resorption
Advances in digital imaging and 3D reconstructions offer dramatic improvements in diagnostics when faced with severe vertical jaw defects. This presentation will present the use of Guided Bone Regeneration associated to non-autogenous scaffolds, and how it now constitutes state-of-the art bone augmentation in all alveolar defects with or without dental implants.
Focusing on single implant tooth replacements in the aesthetic zone, this lecture offers essential guidance for successful outcomes. Topics covered include post-extraction socket biology, immediate and delayed placement protocols, as well as hard and soft tissue augmentation. Participants will gain a clear approach to decision-making in aesthetic cases, paving the way for effective treatment strategies.
Key points:
Managing complications around implants in aesthetic areas presents significant challenges for clinicians, requiring a delicate balance between restoring tissue health and achieving an ideal aesthetic outcome. Various types of defects, diseases, and sequelae can affect implants in these areas. The decision to preserve or remove an implant depends on the type and extent of these complications, as well as an analysis of aesthetic risk and the potential to resolve the issue.
This process begins with a detailed diagnosis and an individualized risk analysis of the patient's clinical condition and expectations. Most cases involve an integrated prosthetic and surgical approach based on reconstructive procedures using hard and/or soft tissue grafts. However, more complex cases may also require the involvement of related disciplines such as endodontics and orthodontics.
In summary, successful treatment requires a personalized and often interdisciplinary approach that prioritizes the patient's aesthetic and functional needs, guided by clinical experience and evidence-based protocols.
In recent years, tremendous improvements have been made around Aesthetic Restoration. This evolution is derived not only from aesthetic requirements of the patient, but also from establishing and maintaining a good rapport between the dental clinician and the dental technician. The clinician should have a clear understanding of the technical steps required to streamline the procedure and make it easier for the technician to provide the necessary assistance. The lab should also be familiar with the clinical operational steps and the potential challenges in the patient’s mouth. This enables the technician to develop additional techniques to best assist the clinician during the procedure. Further, this allows the clinician to plan the case and give the patient the opportunity to perceive and clearly understand the treatment proposed more efficiently.
From a technical perspective, the numerous possibilities for anatomical tooth reproduction will be examined. A new system will be presented that will enable dental professionals to go beyond traditional creative standards in aesthetic rehabilitation. The principal tooth forms and their individual characteristics will be analyzed, and the discussion will lay the groundwork for the introduction of a new tooth form classification, Dental Anatomical Combinations. With regard to the patient’s face, several factors will be evaluated when designing an individually customized dental restoration. Additional innovative digital systems will be evaluated in order to create an individual tooth shape for the patient, and the subsequently customized smile.
The application of this new system and the ensuing ceramic layering procedures will be demonstrated via a clinical case report. All of the rehabilitations, simple or complex, are created with precision using the stereomicroscope to achieve the planned result and increase the longevity of the restoration. The key objective is to provide valuable information to support the prosthodontic team in the treatment of various clinical cases. Detailed analysis of the most significant clinical and technical procedures will be reviewed, beginning with the clinical diagnosis and subsequent diagnostic wax-up, progressing to the correct use of provisional restorations, fundamental in the conditioning and proper development of soft tissues, as well as achieving functional and esthetic objectives.
The symbiotic relationship between sound business management principles and the promotion of mental wellness in the dental industry, is where the patient, practice, and practitioner thrive. In this presentation, we will analyze the impact of workplace culture on employee engagement, and patient care and retention, and learn how to implement techniques for fostering open communication, teamwork, and appreciation to cultivate a positive work environment. Further, we will explore strategies that prioritize practitioner well-being while maintaining operational efficiency and profitability, and how to develop a comprehensive plan for integrating mental wellness initiatives into the practice’s core business model by aligning organizational goals with mental resilience.
