Minimizing the risk of soft tissue deficiencies around dental implants is crucial for achieving long-term functional and aesthetic success in implant dentistry. Soft tissue deficiencies can lead to compromised esthetics, increased plaque biofilm accumulation and associated inflammation, and importantly peri-implant diseases, potentially impacting patient satisfaction and implant longevity. This presentation highlights key factors influencing soft tissue health around implants as well as strategies to preserve and enhance peri-implant soft tissues. By understanding and adopting measures in the primordial phase of treatment, clinicians can significantly reduce the risk of soft tissue deficiencies, ensuring improved outcomes associated with implant rehabilitations.

Clinicians should be aware that, although lateral and vertical ridge augmentation procedures have been shown to be effective, they are highly demanding therapies requiring surgical training, experience, and skills. In fact, the reported complication rate is high and varies among different techniques. Commonly observed graft or membrane exposures can result in wound infections and ultimately loss of the graft.

Join Dr. Julian Conejo for a hands-on training course to enhance your full arch digital workflow and clinical efficiency. This course covers every stage of the full arch process, from digital case planning and guided surgery to final prosthetic delivery.

Dr. Conejo will showcase advanced digital tools, including photogrammetry and fully guided surgical workflows, focusing on precision, predictability, and efficiency. Attendees will gain valuable insights into reducing chair time, improving patient outcomes, and enhancing communication among clinical teams.

This course is perfect for clinicians eager to master a fully digital approach to complete arch workflow, ensuring consistent, superior results for their practice and patients.

Maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) techniques have significantly advanced, prioritizing both predictability and minimal invasiveness to improve patient outcomes. This hands-on workshop will provide an in-depth review of two key approaches: the lateral window and transcrestal techniques, highlighting their respective advantages, challenges, and clinical indications.

Participants will learn about the latest technological innovations that enhance procedural precision, including dynamic navigation systems, which offer real-time feedback for improved accuracy, and piezosurgery, a minimally invasive method for precise bone cutting while preserving soft tissues. The workshop will also cover advancements in material selection, such as bone grafts, biomaterials and biologics, tailored to optimize healing and long-term stability.

Through simulated exercises, attendees will have the opportunity to apply these techniques in a practical setting, gaining hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools and materials. Additionally, the course will include a discussion of case-based scenarios, troubleshooting common complications, and decision-making strategies for successful MSFA outcomes.

This workshop is ideal for clinicians looking to expand their skill set with the most up-to-date methods for managing atrophic posterior maxilla cases, while ensuring a patient-centered approach to surgical care.
