Strategic use of single implants to assist removable partial dentures

Conventional partial removable dental prostheses (RDPs) continue to be an important prosthodontic treatment option. Partial RDPs have a reputation of being the economical solution and associated with biological risks and lower patient satisfaction. There are therefore specific challenges to overcome when they are prescribed. This is particularly the case with partial RDPs for Kennedy Classifications I, II, and IV situations where one or more of the strategic natural tooth abutments are missing. In combination with effective and hygienic conventional partial RDP design, strategic use of implants in these situations is gaining recognition as a simple, economical, but very effective means of enhancing the performance of partial RDPs and increasing patient satisfaction.

Learning outcomes at the end of the presentation the participant should be able to...

  • Outline the current evidence-based considerations regarding RDPs
  • Describe the general principles for designing effective and hygienic RDPs
  • Explain the indications for strategic use of single implants to assist RDPs
9:50 - 10:40

Prosthodontic and occlusal considerations for long-term outcomes in implant dentistry

The aim of achieving predictable and long-term stable treatment outcomes are integral to the ITI philosophy for implant therapy. With the further ITI recommendation of a prosthodontically determined approach to treatment planning and delivery, this presentation will discuss the current considerations and guidelines for reducing risk of complications from a prosthodontic perspective. The presentation will focus on management of occlusion and design of implant prostheses in its evaluation of the scope for reducing risk of biological and hardware complications.

Learning outcomes at the end of the presentation the participant should be able to...

  • Advocate a prosthodontically determined approach to implant therapy
  • Outline recommendations for management of occlusion on implant restorations
  • Discuss current guidelines for design of implant restorations
  • Explain the importance of hygienic design with peri-implant health in mind

Immediate implants in the anterior area

The clinical effectiveness of dental implants treatment is well documented and shows excellent results regarding survival rate. Achieving an optimal esthetic result when replacing a single missing tooth with an immediate implant in the esthetic zone is a very demanding procedure even in this high technology time. Implant placement and different kind of bone and soft tissue augmentation procedures will be discussed in lecture. Aim of this lecture is to discuss how to achieve predictable aesthetic results having different initial situations.

Learning objectives

  • Immediate implant placement and temporization
  • Bone augmentation with immediate implants
12:00 - 13:00
Algirdas Puišys (LT)
Soft tissue and bone stability around implants

Crestal bone stability remains one of the most debated issues in implant dentistry. It is considered to be important for cortical bone preservation, longevity of short implants and prevention of peri-implant tissues recession, which usually accompanies crestal bone loss. Surgical and prosthetic factors responsible for crestal bone stability will be discussed during the lecture.

Learning objectives
At the end of the presentation, the participant should be able to

  • Identify the influence of soft tissue thickness for crestal bone stability
  • Discuss the influence of prosthetic factors influencing crestal bone loss
  • Discuss about different vertical soft tissue augmentation methods
13:00 - 14:00
Lunch

Digital vs. conventional approach during implant placement

In addition to knowledge, planning and installing implants require some experience. The more complex situation during the operation, the greater deviations of the result from the original plan could be expected. Appropriate preparation before the surgery (and prosthetics) helps to reduce possible errors, shortens the duration of the operation, limits the extension of the performance and reduces the overall burden during the performance. Digital approach during implant placement will facilitate and speed up the prosthetic phase of the treatment, as well.

The presentation will meet:

  • finding the right scope for digital workflow
  • is a conventional approach is still appropriate?
  • limitations, shortcomings, and disadvantages of both approaches
14:50 - 15:40

Complex reconstruction of the patient's defective dentition, case report, possible solutions

Presentation of a case report where the digital workflow was applied to optimize a complex partial rehabilitation with dental implants and tooth-supported protheses. A patient with several functional and esthetic issues was managed with careful diagnosis, set-up, and the treatment plan. The process of the treatment including dental restorations, implant placement and the final prosthetics were accomplished with satisfying esthetic and functional results.

  • treatment plan in complexed dental patients
  • digital workflow for dental and implant technology
  • communication between dental care professionals
