A GBR Experience Journey with d-PTFE Membranes

LOD-295-00

Dr. Melle Vroom

In the eighties and nineties various regenerative materials have been introduced in the fields of periodontics and Implant dentistry. Many of these materials make use of the principle of guided tissue regeneration (GTR), which also includes guided bone regeneration (GBR). The then used non-resorbable e-PTFE membranes could lead to good results and has shown its efficacy in several studies. A considerable disadvantage of this type of membrane however, was that in case of an exposure of an e-PTFE membrane infections often arose and so this led to a (partial) failure. As literature has reported exposure rates from 15%-50% for this type of membrane, this can be seen as a major complication. The introduction of a “new” non-resorbable d-PTFE membrane will eliminate this disadvantage as this type of membrane is non permeable to bacteria. So in case of an exposure, and assuming the right measures are taken, sufficient amounts of bone can still be regenerated. In this presentation a GBR experience journey through time will be presented. The focus will be on the usage of non-resorbable d-PTFE membranes and the conditions that have to be met to achieve successful GBR outcomes. Various indications are illustrated with clinical cases. Also techniques to simplify fixation of the membrane will be discussed. Furthermore, preliminary results of an ongoing study in which this fixation technique is studied will be presented.

The Role of Cements in Dental Implant Restorations

LOD-284-00

Dr. Chandur Wadhwani

Restoring dental implants can be extremely challenging. It is imperative to understand available options related to crown retention, confirmation of fit of components and maintenance of implant restorations over time. The AAP, AAO, and the AARD have all stated that excess cement often leads to peri-implant disease and is considered a major risk factor for implant longevity. While many techniques and products have been developed specifically for cement-retained implant restorations, some are potentially detrimental to implants. Dentists are not always fully aware of the issues and implications of using inappropriate materials or methods.<br /> <br /> This presentation will explore the problems and challenges encountered by the restorative dentist, and to formulate clinical guidelines based on current research.<br /> <br /> <strong>Learning Objectives:</strong><br /> Understand the science behind the best practice of implant restoration.<br /> Understand what we need from implant cements, and how formulate a hierarchy of cement selection.<br /> How to best to detect excess cement and prevent failures.<br /> How to develop an all-encompassing cementation protocol for implant restorations.<br /> How to decide upon cemented versus screw-retained prostheses in various clinical situations.<br /> How to assess truly healthy peri-implant soft tissues.<br />
