Sinus Elevation with a Lateral Approach
CV-065
Dr. Giorgio Tabanella
The absence of maxillary posterior teeth and the presence of pneumatized sinusis may lead clinicians to perform sinus elevation especially when no other option for providing dental implants exists. A novel minimally invasive approach may facilitate the surgery and reduce the chances of complications. This video will show surgical and anatomical details of maxillary sinus elevation with a full hd video as you never saw before.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 12/16/2014 | Expires: 12/16/2017</span>

Dr. Francesco Mintrone
Over the years, the need to combine esthetic results and rapid surgery-prosthetic completion of implant-retained restorations have led to the development of new techniques and materials able to reduce the amount of time needed to undertake the entire treatment and, at the same time, ensure the same predictability and end results as if using traditional techniques.<br /><br />In this clinical video the treatment of an hopeless central incisor will be demonstrated using the immediate tooth replacement protocol with a connective tissue graft.<br /><br />This type of technique can be used in a predictable and safe way if certain anatomical prerequisites exist, depending on the bio-type of the patient and on local conditions derived from the health of soft and hard tissues in the area to be treated.<br /><br />Moreover, it is shown that the repeated disconnection of the transmucosal components can generate tissue recession due to the alteration of the delicate environment created between abutment and surrounding soft tissue.<br /><br />For this reason, from a biological point of view, seems advisable to place the final abutment at the time of the surgery.<br /><br />There are different types of preformed abutments available on the market and they can easily adapt to the different needs of the patient, even if, using these abutments, it may not always be possible to fully reproduce the many and varied anatomical needs of every single patient.<br /><br />Moreover, the need to obtain a cementation slightly lower than the tissue level requires ever more versatility.<br /><br />In this case we will consider a specific technique for the creation of individual abutments, starting from presurgery impressions that can ensure complete and perfect support of surrounding tissues.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 6/18/2014 | Expires: 6/18/2017</span>
