Mastering the Digital All-on-4 Treatment Concept: Plan, Place, Print
Navneet Arora, DDS
This session explores how digital integration transforms the All-on-4 treatment concept - replacing a full arch with four implants - into a predictable, streamlines process. Attendees will learn how CBCT imaging, intraoral scans, and virtual planning in DTX Studio Clinic create a unified blueprint fo9r surgical and restorative teams. Key topics include prosthetically driven implant positioning, guided surgery protocols for precision and repeatability, and same-day provisionalization using exocad and SprintRay systems. Practical insights cover data capture, virtual wax-ups, surgical guide fabrication, and chairside workflows for immediate load provisionals. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how digital tools reduce risk, enhance team alignment, and deliver esthetic, functional outcomes efficiently.

Soft Tissue vs. Bone Augmentation in Implant Sites: Defining the Boundaries of Treatment
Ekaterina Zernitckaia, DDS, PhD
- Where Are We Now? - Current challenges in achieving predictable esthetic and functional outcomes. Review of contemporary techniques in soft and hard tissue augmentation.
- Defining the Border: Soft Tissue vs. Bone Augmentation - When is soft tissue augmentation sufficient? When is bone regeneration mandatory? Decision-making parameters for implant site optimization.
- One-Stage Concepts: Softened Bone Tissue Augmentation - Biological rationale and surgical principles. Clinical workflow for simultaneous augmentation and implant placement.
- Non-Surgical Soft Tissue Enhancement - Methods for improving peri-implant soft tissue thickness and quality without and quality without surgical intervention.
- Clinical Cases and Results - Step-by-step protocol of complex cases. Comparative outcomes: staged vs. one-stage protocols. Long-term stability and esthetic results.
