Abstract
Modern dentistry allows the preservation of teeth with endodontic, periodontic, and surgical treatments for longer times than ever before. The final result – once the teeth have to be finally removed – always is a lack of crestal bone for insertion of implants. Traditional procedures for bone-augmentation bear high risks of complications are costly to learn and difficult to execute for the dentist and interfere strongly with patient´s life.
New state-of-the-art technologies such as digital therapy-planning and bone densitometry based on CBCT-radiography, atraumatic and minimal invasive Piezotome-surgery and innovative biology-based bone-grafting allow the management of even “advanced” cases by dentists with less risk of failure and more predictable results.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss CBCT-based 3 D diagnostics: unveil the hidden and avoid pitfalls before therapy starts
- Discuss CBCT-based 3 D virtual planning: one-stop virtual therapy from surgery to final prosthetics
- Discuss CBCT-based 3 D digital workflow: full control over the entire therapy, least risk of failure
- Demonstrate contemporary treatment execution: atraumatic Piezotome-surgical procedures
- Discuss why Piezotome-surgery is superior to rotary instruments
