Mastering implant therapy in the aesthetic zone: techniques, surgical protocols, and clinical insights
The Italian Academy of Osseointegration (IAO), the most important Implantology society in Italy and recognized internationally, welcomes you to the how-to-do-it video course designed to provide you with advanced techniques, surgical protocols, and clinical insights to effectively perform implant treatments in the aesthetic area.
This course has been fully dubbed in English and features lectures by internationally renowned experts in Implantology.
IAO speakers share their clinical protocols and the rationale behind their therapeutic choices in complex cases, blending clinical experience with scientific evidence.
Key technical topics covered include soft tissue management and the use of CTGs for aesthetic optimization, the Socket Shield Technique, GBR protocols with timing and surgical steps, peri-implantitis treatment in the aesthetic zone using GalvoSurge, multidisciplinary protocols for correcting failures, analog vs digital workflows in the management of single-tooth gaps, and anatomical dissection on cadavers to enhance surgical safety in oral and extraoral areas.
Two battles of concepts show the speakers compare different approaches to achieve the same therapeutic goal with the aim of highlighting the strengths, limitations, and indications of each strategy, offering a complete overview of the options available.
Topics covered in the course:
- Anatomy of the neck and oral cavity
- Soft tissue management and connective tissue grafting techniques
- Socket Shield Technique: indications, case selection, surgical protocol
- Peri-implantitis treatment in the aesthetic zone
- Electrolytic approach (GalvoSurge) for implant surface decontamination
- Horizontal and vertical GBR protocols
- Analog vs digital workflows: advantages and limitations
- Management of aesthetic failures
At the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
- Plan and perform connective tissue grafting around implants to improve soft tissue stability, achieve natural gingival margins, and prevent mucosal recessions
- Apply the Socket Shield Technique predictably, managing implant positioning, shield design, and space between the implant and root fragment
- Use the electrolytic method (GalvoSurge) in peri-implantitis treatment to clean implant surfaces thoroughly without damaging the material
- Choose the appropriate GBR protocol based on the morphology of the bone defect and understand CBCT-based planning
- Decide when to remove or save an implant in cases of aesthetic failure or implant malposition, applying multidisciplinary (surgical and prosthetic) strategies
- Evaluate the pros and cons of analog vs digital workflows and integrate digital tools effectively into your clinical practice
