Speaker Profile
Workshop
Topic : Dental Implant Advanced Course: Guided Bone Regeneration
Abstract :
Deficiency in the hard and soft tissue of the alveolar ridge is often encountered in the management of dental implant cases due to the physiologic process of alveolar ridge remodelling following tooth extraction. Optimum soft and hard tissue thickness and an adequate band of keratinized tissue are pre-requisite for the long-term longevity of implant-supported prosthesis and stability of peri-implant tissue. Therefore, dentists managing patients requiring dental implant therapy must be equipped with knowledge and skills in hard and soft tissue management. In this workshop, participants will get exposure to the principles and techniques of guided bone regeneration (GBR), connective tissue graft, and free gingival grafting in implant therapy.

Lecture
Topic : Implant in The Aesthetic Zone: What Have We Learned?
Abstract :
Implant rehabilitation of missing dentition in the aesthetic zone is often challenging for clinicians. There is a risk of aesthetic compromise such as loss of interproximal papilla height resulting in black triangle or loss of facial bone resulting in gingival recession. The success of implant supported restorations in the aesthetic zone depends not only on the restored function but also on harmonious integration of the restoration into the patient’s overall appearance. The appearance of the peri-implant soft tissue should be in harmony with the mucosa around the adjacent teeth and the implant crown should be in harmony with the neighbouring dentition. Appropriate treatment planning, meticulous surgical intervention (both hard and soft tissue), and optimum prosthesis are keys in minimising soft- and hard-tissue complications to achieve an optimal long-term aesthetic implant restoration.
Success and complications of implant rehabilitation in the aesthetic zones as well as various treatment approaches have been reported in literature. Understanding of the alveolar ridge dimensional changes following tooth extraction, the soft tissue phenotype and facial bone thickness is essential. In this lecture, Dr Eshamsul will discuss evidence-based key factors from the literature and will share some of his clinical experiences in managing implant rehabilitation in the aesthetic zone. Several treatment modalities such as immediate implant placement in the sockets with facial wall dehiscence / fenestration, immediate implant placement with root membrane technique, delayed implant placement with GBR, and alveolar ridge augmentation will be shared.
