Maxillary Sinus Augmentation: State of the Art

This technique has been highly documented in the literature for more than 40 years. However, it is considered as a relatively invasive procedure, reports show a low incidence of surgical and postsurgical complications. The most common complications that can occur in relation with that procedure are intra operative and post operative. Both can lead to infections which can jeopardize graft and implant success. Anatomical particularities, like the sinus shape, a sinus septum or the presence of the alveolo-antral artery can lead to operative difficulties, while infectious complications are mainly due to a per-operative contamination or an improper evaluation of the sinus health prior to the surgery. In every situation, a thorough knowledge of sinus anatomy and the use of appropriate surgical methodology and instrumentation will allow the surgeon to avoid most pitfalls associated with that procedure. The learning objectives of this course are to make the participant able to implement the right surgical technique that will consider the anatomical particularities encountered, to identify "at risk patients" in order to prevent complications and if there are inevitable, it will be ready to manage them in a predictable way. An innovative technique called " Tattone technique" dedicated to the management of perforations will be described in detail.

Controlling Implant Restorative Outcomes With The T-Scan 10 Novus Technology

Robert B. Kerstein, DMD Former Clinical Professor at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA USA

Occlusion is a complex neurologic science that involves the interplay between the teeth, the muscles and the Temporomandibular Joints. Occlusion however, is taught biomechanically with paper, ink marks, shim stock, and IOS scanners, all of which do not measure the interocclusal forces of the occlusal contacts that affect patient comfort. T-Scan 10 computer-guided occlusal adjustments precisely control the occlusal forces and timing of natural teeth, dental implants, and prosthetic restorations, which offers patients improved occlusal result outcomes, with rapid adaptation to their newly installed occlusion. T-Scan data controls the “Micro-occlusion” after the Digital Workflow creates the “Macro-occlusion”. Unfortunately, making the Macro-occlusion does not create an optimal Micro-occlusion, and it is the Micro-occlusion that impacts patients’ ability to use new prostheses comfortably. It is also the Micro-occlusion that can compromise implant-bone integration, fracture screws and occlusal materials, and damage the prosthetic substructure. Recently published research described that using T-Scan at implant prosthesis delivery statistically minimized occlusal complications, lessening unwanted post-insertion occlusal adjustment visits that nag at daily dental practice, interfere with office productivity, and compromise the doctor patient relationship, despite the dentist’s best efforts to manage them with articulating paper and shim stock.
This course will illustrate how to employ digital occlusal measurements in clinical practice using an evidence-based measured approach, which helps dentists provide more lasting and comfortable occlusal results for patients.

Learning Objectives

• Discover the real limitations of using articulating papers and Shim stock, and why intraoral scanner occlusion cannot replace T-Scan at implant prosthesis insertions.
• Observe a demonstration of how to record high-quality T-Scan data, and then learn how that data is used to make targeted occlusal force adjustments at case insertion, which minimizes patient problems after delivery.
• Participate in a Hands-on T-Scan recording session so each attendee can learn proper T-Scan recording procedures.
• See how to resolve common occlusal complications in restorative, cosmetic, and implant dentistry – a review of clinical cases will illustrate how to digitally diagnose and then successfully treat common occlusal problems.
• Discover how T-Scan 10/BioEMG III guided “Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR)” resolves chronic TMD problems without the patient wearing any appliance/splint/orthotic, being TENSed, or repeatedly using ineffective medications, or suffering through repeated Botox injections.

Step by Step Protocol in Full Mouth Cases

The management of completely or severely compromised dentitions through full arch implant rehabilitation has transformed contemporary prosthodontics by offering patients predictable function, esthetics, and quality of life. The journey from diagnosis to definitive prosthesis requires a comprehensive understanding of surgical, prosthetic, and biomechanical principles, combined with meticulous planning and execution.

This workshop, “Restoring Function and Esthetics: The Full Arch Implant Journey”, will guide participants through every step of the process—beginning with patient evaluation, digital diagnostics, and treatment planning, progressing to surgical protocols and implant placement strategies, and culminating in prosthetic design and delivery of the final restoration. Special emphasis will be placed on immediate loading concepts, and material selection to optimize esthetic and functional outcomes.

Real-world clinical scenarios, troubleshooting techniques, and long-term maintenance protocols will also be discussed, helping participants bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical execution.

Sinus Augmentation Demystified: From CBCT Diagnosis to DASK Execution

Sinus augmentation remains one of the most technique-sensitive and essential procedures in implant dentistry in the posterior maxilla where challenges such as limited bone volume and maxillary sinus pneumatization often complicate implant placement. This immersive pre-conference course is designed to simplify and systematize the entire sinus augmentation workflow—from diagnosis to execution—empowering clinicians with both theoretical clarity and surgical confidence. The session begins with an in-depth exploration of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), focusing on interpretation of radiographic anatomy, identification of sinus pathology, volumetric bone assessment and recognition of critical anatomical landmarks essential for safe and effective planning. The course then transitions into a detailed review and live demonstration of bicortical fixation, indirect and direct sinus lift technique using the Simple DASK kit—a minimally invasive, efficient and highly predictable method. This course is ideal for both novice and experienced clinicians seeking to master sinus elevation with precision, reduced complications and enhanced treatment outcomes through evidence-based, clinically proven techniques.

Immediacy in Implantology- Biological and Technological aspects and the role of Implant Design in Clinical Success.

The concept of immediacy in implantology—encompassing immediate placement and immediate loading—has transformed traditional implant protocols by reducing treatment time and enhancing patient satisfaction. However, clinical success in such protocols demands a precise balance between biological principles and technological advancements.
This workshop explores the critical biological factors that govern osseointegration and peri-implant tissue stability under immediate conditions, including bone remodeling dynamics, implant–bone interface biology, and soft-tissue healing. Parallelly, it examines the technological evolution of implant design, surface modifications, and digital workflows that have made immediacy not only feasible but predictable.
Through an evidence-based and interactive format, participants will gain insight into how implant macro- and micro-designs influence primary stability, load distribution, and long-term success. The session will also highlight current trends such as digital implant planning, guided surgery, and AI-driven prosthesis design softwares that further refine immediate implant protocols.
By integrating biological understanding with design innovation, this workshop aims to provide clinicians with a comprehensive framework for achieving predictable outcomes in immediate implant therapy—bridging science, technology, and clinical artistry.
