Loss of teeth is an early sign of aging, with an undeniable impact on the global population, affecting their daily life and social interactions.

Through innovation, along with continuous clinical and scientific research, it has become possible to treat almost every edentulous case with a highly functional and esthetic fixed solution, increasing the quality of life for these patients. The MALO CLINIC protocol for rehabilitation of the fully edentulous has allowed thousands of clinicians around the world to achieve this essential goal.

The rehabilitation of these patients is a team approach involving the surgeon, prosthodontist, lab technician and dental hygienist. The surgical stage is in line with the All-on-4^®treament concept – an innovative technique developed in the early ‘90s with Prof. Paulo Maló and his team that allows for Immediate Function, full-arch, implant supported prosthetics. This widely applicable surgical protocol allows for a simplified and immediate rehabilitation with a provisional bridge fixed on four implants, with minimum cantilevers, delivered 3 to 4 hours after surgery.

The final prosthetic work - the MALO CLINIC bridge - was developed to give patients an esthetic, precise and consistent result, following a protocoled clinical and technical procedure.

Clinical management of patients through this protocol will be presented by demonstrating the process of collecting medical data, diagnosis, treatment planning and surgical protocols and through insights into both provisional and definitive implant-supported prostheses.

TiUltra™ and Xeal™, Nobel Biocare's new innovative surface technologies, can enhance patient outcomes. Discover how these surfaces are designed to promote both soft and hard tissue integration at every level. By utilizing the Xeal™ surface, it will yield 4 times fewer cultivable bacteria at 6 months in the biofilms extracted from test abutments compared with the control abutments.

This course is recommended for both hygienists and dentists. One of the most overlooked part of implant therapy is hygiene and a robust peri-implant maintenance program.  Many questions exist around this topic, such as to probe or not to probe around dental implants. However, more concise recommendations have been published in the last few years that we must be aware of. Recognizing early signs of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis and resolving the inflammation in its early stages is important for long term stability and success of dental implants.  A review the current literature on this topic will be presented. How to implement a hygiene maintenance protocol for patient with single implants and full arch prosthesis in your office will be discussed.

Full-arch implant restorations have become an accepted and popular treatment modality. The proof of this popularity can be seen in the numerous publications and lectures covering this subject. There is, however, very little information on the consequences of improper execution. Most complications that occur can be managed easily, with proper knowledge. A team approach is required for success and each team member must master their role. This lecture will help hygienists, restorative dentists, oral surgeons and periodontists understand proper implementation that will lead to long-term success.

Surgical innovations and advances in dental implant therapy, as well as the use of digital technology, have allowed for predictability and precision in treatment planning. In this one-hour webinar, Dr. Bobby Birdi will discuss how implant and abutment selection, along with computer-guided implant therapy, can provide more accurate, restoratively driven, outcomes for patients.

A prosthetic treatment plan must allow for the integration of esthetic, biological and functional requirements for natural teeth and implants. In the case of implants, the prosthetic treatment is usually more challenging due to inevitable soft tissue changes after tooth extraction. In this sense the surgical and prosthetic approach play an essential role in optimizing prosthetic integration and simultaneously achieving reliable and stable prosthetic results. Nowadays, it is well known that biological integration and stability around implants, can be significantly influenced by the correct use of modern implant and prosthetic components. Implantology has reached the Mucointegration™era!Tailoring the implant surface at each levelto meet biological needs, adapting roughness, morphology and surface chemistry, is a crucial advantage that gives us the opportunity to achieve a restorative system that is osseo-and muco-integrated at the same time.  In this context, the implant emergence profile also assumes a critical role, that is strictly correlated to the vertical position of the implant, abutment material, surface, morphology andplacement protocol. In this sense the use of non-removable prosthetic components allows optimal soft tissue healing around the implant with significant advantages from a biological, biomechanical and clinical point of view. This approach offers an undisturbed mucosal seal that protects the bone interface from contamination and remodeling.

In this webinar, Dr. Scott MacLean will describe how the new surfaces, TiUltra™ for implants, and Xeal™ for abutments, promote soft-tissue integration at every level, from abutment to implant apex. Dr. MacLean will discuss how the surface chemistry and topography of the TiUltra™ and Xeal™ surfaces are specifically designed to promote soft tissue attachment, and how the On1™ concept, with the On1™ abutment with Xeal™, preserves the soft tissue attachment without compromising restorative flexibility.

Achieving anterior implant esthetics can be challenging and demanding. Scientific advances and breakthroughs in implant designs are constantly challenging the status quo. This presentation will summarize the biological and physiological limitations of the soft and hard tissue, along with the properties of the implant device in a quest to achieve predictable esthetic restorations.  

Please join Alan Hollander, CEO & Founder of ePractice Manager, as he provides an insightful lecture on how to address patients’ current #1 concern: their physical health. These effective concepts will help update your practice messaging, increase case acceptance, deliver more treatment, and ultimately increase your patients oral and overall health.

The restoration of dental implants has become routine and the esthetic results that can be achieved with components and materials readily available yield predictable results.  However, the misuse of these components and their “compatible” counterparts can lead to complications we all would rather not encounter…or cause.  We can learn from these complications and use that information to avoid or minimize their occurrence going forward.  Dr. Ludens will draw on his own practice experience, the experience of other clinicians, and tie that experience together with the science behind the successful implant and restorative components.  Viewers of this webinar will learn this science in an easy to understand format and take home practical tips and information that can be incorporated immediately into their implant restorative practices. 

An implant-supported restoration in the anterior esthetic zone can be a daunting challenge.  Using techniques and materials currently available, this restoration can now be fabricated predictably with a highly esthetic outcome.  Using real patient examples, Dr. Ludens will discuss the workflow and the application of the process to make it simpler and more predictable, using several techniques for temporization and creating esthetic and anatomic soft tissue contours, quick (and critical) custom impressions, and lab communication skills to ensure a quality final result.

Application of autologous concentrated growth factors (CGF) and platelet rich fibrin (PRF) within dentistry.

Why not maximize what our patients can provide? Do you want to improve on your clinical outcomes and GBR (guided bone regeneration) procedures? Would your patients benefit from better outcomes and quicker healing? By drawing our patients’ blood and placing those vials into a centrifuge machine we are able to obtain concentrated growth factors that can improve our clinical outcomes, decrease healing times and discomfort, and improve our quality of bone. We will be discussing and demonstrating how to draw and centrifuge blood and make CGF (concentrated growth factors) membranes and AFG “sticky bone” (autologous fibrin glue). This process can be coupled with a variety of procedures to improve your clinical outcomes such as GBR, GTR, sinus lifts, and more.
