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.

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.
