Oral surgery

You have taken the courses, you have the knowledge and the equipment to place Implants and perform various Oral Surgery procedures. Are you using your electric Surgical “Implant” motor to its full extent? Join us to review the W&H Implantmed Plus Surgical motor system and the various surgical handpieces that can help you in your practice – every day. Experience greater cutting power and reduced aerosol with the use of sterile irrigation along with handpieces that can be taken apart for optimal cleaning, longevity and reduced repair bills.

Following tooth extraction, the alveolar ridge undergoes physiological remodeling that results in vertical and horizontal volumetric osseous reduction, an increase in soft tissue thickness, and a narrowed band of keratinized mucosa.Previously published systematic reviews have demonstrated that a substantial loss of alveolar ridge volume following tooth extraction may compromise a future implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis. Therefore, maintaining the post extraction dimensions will minimize the necessity for alveolar ridge augmentation prior to implant placement.

Full mouth immediate load will be discussed from a unique prospective. The patients perspective . Testimonials from 2 weeks after to 8 years after treatment will be shown. We will look at the long term failures and what we have learned over the last 10 years, is it acceptable to treat everyone with one paint brush? We will demonstrate both surgical and prosthetic techniques using the latest treatment options available in immediate load. We will also look at some common errors and causes of failure both in the short term and long term. Surgical augmentation both hard tissue and soft tissue will be shown, that are used to correct these failures. Finally we will conclude that there is another option, a hybrid option that has better long term success both from the patients perspective and clinical perspective.

Esthetic complications of dental implant can have a major negative impact on patients’ qualify of life and perception of implant therapy. Unfortunately, implant esthetic complications are common conditions in the esthetic zone. Their treatment requires a proper understanding of the etiological factors and the type of peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences. This lecture will discuss the rationale, treatment planning and soft tissue grafting techniques for the correction of implant esthetic failures.

Join HANSAmed and Dr. Zeeshan Sheikh as we discuss Innovation and predictability, improve bone defect repair using Geistlich Bio-Oss® granules! The current long list of available natural and/or synthetic materials and surgical techniques makes the decision-making challenging with regards to what graft materials and surgical approach to use in oral surgery.

Over the past decade, there has been an increase in oral implant treatments. With the advent of digital workflows and integration of guided surgical approaches, there has been a trend that shows when implants are planned, they are positioned where the bone is rather than where the restorative position dictates. These planned implants are usually in a more lingual or palatal position and when the restorations are completed, the patients may experience various complications such as food impaction and the inability to properly maintain their implant suprastructures. Additionally, the accumulation of bacteria and plaque leads to the potential of periimplant infection and prosthetic complications which may lead to the potential failure of the implant itself.
