SPEAKER PROFILE (DAY 1)

Workshop : The Implant Supra-Crestal Complex. Building the
Foundation for Long Term Stable Results in Implant
Therapy
Emerging evidence points towards significant interrelations between the condition of
the peri-implant tissue and the implant-abutment-prosthesis complex. A new paradigm
is essential, where the peri-implant tissues will be analysed in close interrelation with the
implant, abutment and prosthesis complex, under the presence of oral biofilm. The aim of
this course is to make the participant familiar with the concept of the “Implant Supra-crestal
Complex” (ISC) and describe the critical elements that define it as a unique anatomic, and
functional system of human tissues, mechanical components and oral bacteria / biofilm.
The course reveals recent evidence to identify the impact of design features on both short-
term clinical outcomes, as well as on the long-term health of the peri-implant bone and
soft tissues. Prosthetic-driven implant placement is the prerequisite for the proper design
of the ISC, which in turn can indirectly influence the structure and dimensions of the peri-
implant soft tissues. Design features of the implant-prosthesis abutment complex such as
the Emergence Profile (EP), Emergence Angle (EA) and Cervical Margin (CM), as well as the
design of the implant-abutment and abutment-prosthesis junctions and their location in
relation to the tissues of the ISC can have significant impact in the maintenance of stable
and healthy peri-implant tissues in the long term.

At the end of this course the participant will be able to understand how to properly manage
the ISC in order to establish the foundation for long term stability and reduce the incidence
of cases affected by peri-implantitis.

The hands-on session of the course will include
- ideal three-dimensional implant placement in a fresh extraction socket
- provisionalisation of the immediate implant site with the cervical seal abutment (CSA)
- ridge preservation with the cervical plug technique (CSP)
- Easy Simplified Technique to Fabricate of the CSA and CSP Component

Lecture : Regenerative Endodontics in Immature Tooth with
Apical Periodontitis
Regenerative endodontics in immature tooth with apical periodontitis has gained popularity
in the past decade. However, there are many conflicting arguments about this treatment
option among the clinicians and the researchers. Therefore, there is a need for us to
understand the current trend of regenerative endodontics, the procedure and its treatment
outcome.
Learning outcomes:
1. Briefly discuss the treatment options for immature tooth with apical periodontitis.
2. Discuss the clinical procedure of regenerative endodontics based on the current
evidence.
3. Discuss the evidence based prognosis of regenerative endodontics and how it affects
