Biological Data for Bone Integration

LOD-018-00

Dr. Peter Schupbach

90 min

The scientific evidence on the biomaterial surface TiUniteTM will be given and compared to other implant surfaces. Several studies confirm and support the clinical benefits of the remarkable osseoconductive properties of TiUniteTM, allowing bone to grow along the implant surface and into the pores of the surface. This results in faster osseointegration and higher biological stability, thus minimizing time at risk for effective and safe Immediate FunctionTM. The clinical implications of TiUnite as Immdiate FunctionTM, reduced marginal bone loss, soft tissue integration and predictable esthetics will be discussed. In addition the scientific evidence of micro grooves along the threads and around the implant shoulder will be given. The introduction of the Groovy technology provides yet another step in implant development. With this technology, the speed of osseointegration can be further increased. The biological stability is enhanced by up to 30% allowing the use of groovy implants in soft bone.

Integration of Digital-Ceramic Restorations

LOD-010-00

Dr. Bernard Touati

45 min

The use of metal-free ceramic materials allows to achieve excellent esthetic results in the anterior and posterior area for crowns and veneers fabrication. Material selection with dental ceramist is fundamental in management of complex rehabilitation cases. Several clinical follow-up of ceramic and alumina and zirconia systems indicate the adequacy of these materials for anterior and posterior restorations. Clinical and technical suggestions for obtaining esthetic and durable results will be supplied
