Moving from Bone Grafting to Bone Growing

Bone regeneration has greatly evolved over the last decades.
Up until five decades ago, the leading method for the reconstruction of bone defects was native bone transferring, intraoral and extraoral sites. This method has significant biological advantages; however, it also carries a high price tag, in the form of longer surgery, an additional surgical site, prolonged pain and discomfort, and greater rates of complications and morbidity.
In the recent decades, various materials have been developed, including allografts, xenografts and alloplasts, in an attempt to promote bone regeneration without native bone transfer. However, these materials do not allow for the construction of high-quality bone nor are they appropriate for large defects or for many additional indications.
The lecture will review 20 years of experience of both basic science and clinical work in the development and implementation of biological methods for high-quality bone regeneration in various types of bone defects without the need for native bone transfer or guided bone regeneration. The concept of bone growing will be presented and the biological bone regeneration algorithm will be offered.

Prof. Nardy Caspi-Casap is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Hebrew University-Hadassah Faculty of Dental Medicine, Jerusalem, Israel.
After completion of his residency program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Hadassah Medical Center, he spent two years in the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of California, San-Francisco.
Nardy Casap is a Member at Large of the executive committee of the International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He is also a past chairman of the Israeli Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and the Israel chancellor of the International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He is the chairman of the Israel Dental Association Scientific Committee, a past Chairman of the Israeli Maxillofacial Professional Committee, and a past Chairman of the National Accreditation Committee for Dental Specialization Programs.
Prof. Casap is a member of the editorial boards of the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Quintessence International and numerous others. He has over 80 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters.

Extraction Site Management and Implant Placement Strategies: Is There Still a Controversy?
Implant site preservation and development is the concept of maintaining the volume and architecture of both the soft and hard tissues. It is critical to minimize tissue loss during extraction to conserve the natural ridge form and architecture for future implant placement, especially true in the anterior region. The lecture will focus will on the most commonly asked questions in implant dentistry today. The topics include:
Should grafting be performed after tooth extraction?
Which are the best graft materials to use?
What type of interim provisional restorations to use in order to minimize tissue loss?
What is the current research and what diagnostic tools lead to the correct decisions regarding immediate implant placement versus delayed implant placement?
How best to manage cases within the esthetic zone to maintain natural contours?

Lecture Objectives include being able to answer the following questions:
To understand the most recent research and literature on Extraction Sites
Know minimally invasive tooth removal techniques and instrumentation
Remove broken and difficult teeth with minimal flap reflection
What to look for in choosing a graft material
Techniques for optimal healing and ridge form
Learn how to manage the post-extraction sites in order to minimize ridge contour loss
Understand the pros and cons of immediate versus delayed implant placement
Learn when to Flap and when you can perform incisionless treatment
Learn to describe minimally invasive bone grafting techniques for the compromised implant site

Team Expectations When Restoring the Full Arch: Technology and Clinical Challenges with ALL on X
Full Arch restorations have always presented itself with clinical and technical challenges, from working in the clinic with the patient, to the laboratory bench, and to the need for improved communication between the involved team members. With the speed that the technology has improved, so has the way we diagnose, treatment plan and restore the full arch patient. What hasn’t changed is the sound prosthodontic principles. This lecture will highlight some of the clinical challenges, materials and the protocols needed to meet the expectations of the team to deliver a successful outcome.
Lecture Objectives:
Cover common treatment modalities for fixed full arch implant candidates
Understand factors involved in treatment planning for immediate extraction or the edentulous arch
Review role of CAD/CAM in full arch prosthetics
Understand indications & process for immediate load full-arch prosthodontics
Understand the role of CBCT and 3D software for diagnosis and planning

Synergy of Reconstructive Hard and Soft Tissue Surgery: The Role of Bioengineering in Clinical Practice
Biologic Modifiers can often be synergistically combined with periodontal plastic surgical techniques, guided bone regeneration and various osseous grafts to effectively establish the optimal foundation for functional and esthetic implant restorations. Vertical soft tissue and interdental papilla enhancement is frequently combined with innovative second-stage periodontal plastic surgery to create an ideal restorative frame.
The three-dimensional reconstruction of the implant receptor site comprises three distinct phases:
Development of the hard tissues
Reconstruction of the soft tissue
Shaping of the tissues through the restorative profile

This program will cover the importance of CBCT 3D Planning in Reconstructive Dentistry. Site preparation techniques for conventional restorative dentistry as well as prior to and at the time of implant placement utilizing new bioengineering protocols will also be featured and introduced as treatment planning options in everyday clinical practice.
Educational Objectives:
Diagnosis and classification of implant recipient sites using CBCT and 3D software
Augmentation techniques available at the time of extraction
Management of the “deficient” site through horizontal and vertical augmentation techniques
Evaluation of new techniques and bioengineering technologies for future applications

The Zirconia Resin Bonded Bridge – Where, When, and How?
Zirconia has become the material of choice for a variety of indirect all-ceramic restorations ranging from single units to full-mouth reconstructions. While, in the beginning, zirconia was only used as a coping and framework material that had to be veneered with porcelain, current high-translucent and multi-layer options offer excellent optical, physical, and biological properties for a multitude of indications.
The zirconia-based resin bonded bridge (ZRBFDP) is a proven, yet widely unknown, minimally invasive treatment option to replace missing anterior teeth when other options are not possible or have to be delayed. For long-term clinical success with ZRBFDPs, a deep understanding of fundamental clinical and laboratory parameters from case selection, abutment tooth preparation, restoration material and design, and, most important, proper resin bonding protocols, is essential.
However, the rumor that “you cannot bond zirconia” persists tenaciously despite research compiled over two decades telling us otherwise. In fact, numerous clinical studies have shown that ZRBFDPs, which rely exclusively on adhesive bonds, have extremely high clinical long-term success rates.
The APC zirconia bonding concept is a summary of 20 years of research on the topic and provides a simple yet highly effective method for long-term durable resin bonds to zirconia. While resin bonding is not necessary for restorations that rely on retention, resin-bonded zirconia restorations can provide treatment options that were not possible before.
This presentation will provide a deeper understanding of ZRBFDPs as a reliable treatment option and offer solutions for cementation and bonding that, based on the latest research, will provide long-term successful outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the concept of resin bonded bridges and clinical indications
Learn about successful resin bonding methods and materials for ZRBFDPs
Comprehend clinical and laboratory guidelines for long-lasting esthetic ZRBFDPs, from treatment planning to preparation, restoration design and insertion

Do Clinical Guidelines Cause Controversies in Dentistry?
During our training as dental students we rely on our clinical faculty to guide us. We trust their clinical judgement and do not question their technical skills nor their theoretical knowledge.
However, after entering private practice we must access and use new and pertinent clinical guidelines from other sources. These sources could be lectures delivered at continuing education courses or our own analysis of the literature. But how do we know that we really take advantage of the best evidence-informed clinical guidelines?
This presentation will highlight how evidence-informed guidelines are generated and why many published guidelines may unfortunately sometimes create more controversies than help.

Michael Glick is Professor and Executive Director, Center for Integrative Global Oral Health, School of Dental Medicine, University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Glick has authored more than 350 publications, including original research articles, editorials, and book chapters, and has written, edited and co-edited 10 textbooks. Among these several editions of the seminal text in oral medicine – Burket’s Oral Medicine.

Revisiting the Treatment Strategy at Periodontally Violated Teeth

Preparation design of natural teeth should meet a variety of structural and biologic requirements, whereas the cervical design of the restoration should fulfill biologic and esthetic principles. These traditional concepts might be modified in situations of periodontal violation.
The presentation will highlight a different prosthetic concept that results in a favorable periodontal response at the interface between the gingiva and the artificial restoration in some indications of periodontally violated teeth.

“One Observation = Zero Observation”

A review is made of the speaker's publications on bone regeneration using cancellous block allografts, with an evaluation of the success of implants placed in such regenerated areas. A total of 30 studies published during the last 20 years, encompassing all aspects of alveolar ridge reconstruction were evaluated.
These grafts are indicated in cases of large bone defects. They serve for vertical or horizontal augmentation of the alveolar process. In most of these cases, graft healing until implant placement lasted 4-6 months. The most frequent complications in the recipient site were wound dehiscence with exposure of the membrane.
In almost all cases, prosthetic loading of the implants took place three months after their placement. The block survival rate varied from 85% to 100%, with an implantation success rate of 92-96%. Esthetic evaluation using PES-WES score was outstanding.
Following numerous (>1000) cases over 20 years, it can be concluded that cancellous block allografts are effective in correcting localized and/or large defects of the alveolar process. Complications do occur, but in most of the cases the treatment plan can be completed even in the most challenging cases.
The lecture will follow the evidence hierarchy emphasizing differences between "possible" to "predictable".
