Oral surgery

Learn about the increased momentum of using soft tissue grafting procedures at dental implant sites in the last 5 years with Dr. Daniel Thoma.

This webinar explores the often-overlooked layer of oral hygiene: how everyday patient habits influence the oral microbiome, healing, and treatment of longevity. Attendees will learn how common hygiene methods -such as brushing techniques, rinses, and adjunctive products- can either support balance or disrupt it.

The session will focus on practical, chairside guidance dental professionals can confidently share with patients to improve compliance, reduce relapse, and support oral health long after treatment is complete.

This webinar with Dr. Daniele Cardaropoli will focus on the concept of soft-tissue integration in implant dentistry. From immediate implant placement to ridge preservation, the use of connective tissue graft as well as the use of tridimensional collagen matrix, together with the description of a novel volume-stable cross-linked matrix will be assessed.

Why soft tissues are the key point when dealing with esthetics in implant dentistry? What is their biological role? Why pink esthetics, intended as the proper relationship between the implant fixture and the supported crown, is so important for the final outcome of the therapy? The concept of soft-tissue integration is the new challenge in implant dentistry. The knowledge about the dynamics of healing in post-extraction sites recommends to avoid a staged approach with spontaneous healing after tooth extraction. To achieve an optimal result clinicians should consider to preserve the anatomy of the ridge and the soft tissue contour. During this lecture different surgical and prosthetic approaches will be discussed for single tooth and multiple teeth rehabilitations. From immediate implant placement to ridge preservation, the use of connective tissue graft as well as the use of tridimensional collagen matrix, together with the description of a novel volume-stable cross-linked matrix will be assessed. Different sites, different protocols, one goal: predictability.
