Considerations in the Surgical and Restorative Planning and Execution for FP1 , FP2, and FP3 Outcomes in Full Arch Immediate Rehabilitation With Dental Implants
Speaker: Alan Meltzer, DMD
This presentation will outline the necessary alterations of the treatment pathways to produce optimal outcomes FP1 , FP2, and FP3 case types including diagnosis, treatment planning as well as surgical and prosthetic management will be presented including sample cases. The role of the FP2 prosthesis will also briefly be reviewed. These newer pathways can eliminate the necessity for extensive Alveoplasty which is a portion of the FP3 protocol.

Biological Reset Protocol for the Regenerative Treatment of Advanced Peri-Implantitis Defects
Speaker: Andrea Ravidà DDS, MS, PhD
Biologic Reset has emerged as a predictable strategy for the regenerative treatment of advanced peri-implantitis. This lecture presents an evidence-based, step-by-step protocol integrating prosthetic modification, AIRFLOW implant surface decontamination, and regenerative surgery.

Enhanced Outcomes Using a Microsurfaced Soft Tissue Allograft Around Teeth and Dental Implants
Speaker: Shaun Rotenberg, DMD, MS
Clinicians continue to seek alternatives to autogenous grafts that enhance patient comfort while achieving predictable clinical outcomes. Soft tissue allografts eliminate the need for a secondary surgical site when augmenting peri-implant and periodontal soft tissues, thereby reducing patient morbidity and improving the overall surgical experience. Although acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) have been used in dentistry for more than two decades, concerns regarding postoperative healing and potential complications have limited their widespread adoption. This presentation will explore the advantages of utilizing Cytoplast Microderm, a microsurfaced acellular dermal matrix designed to support favorable early wound healing and reduce the risk of postoperative complications. Current evidence and documented case presentations will be reviewed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this material in periodontal and implant related soft tissue augmentation procedures.

Advanced Osseodensification Clinical Protocols
Speaker: Salah Huwais, DDS
Osseodensification, an evidence-based approach to implant site preparation that enhances implant stability and bone density without compromising healing. The lecture will review the latest biomechanical, histological, and clinical evidence of Osseodensification, and define its clinical versatility and the related biomaterials to achieve reproducible outcomes. The lecture will outline advanced clinical protocols for osseodensification, including Sinus Grafting in severely resorbed ridges, advanced Ridge Expansion with Augmentation, Guided Expansion Graft, and Immediate Implant Placement in both single and multirooted sockets with immediate restoration.

Mastering Peri-Implantitis: A Biological and Technological Approach to Implant Salvage
Speaker: Jaebum Lee, DDS, MSD, PhD
Long-term implant health depends on biological stability, not just mechanical cleaning. Traditional tools often fail to reach complex threads or may damage surfaces. The Er,Cr:YSGG laser offers a paradigm shift: using radial and side-firing tips, it effectively detoxifies surfaces without thermal damage. This creates a “bio-friendly” environment, encouraging osteoblasts and fibroblasts to attach. Clinical evidence confirms this laser-treated surface is superior for bone regrowth and true re-osseointegration.
Room 616, SCC, Arch Building
Achieving Predictable Outcomes in Implant Therapy Through Interdisciplinary Digital Workflows
Speaker: Dr. Gustavo Avila-Ortiz, DDS, MS, PhD
Optimizing long-term biologic and prosthetic outcomes after implant therapy directly depends upon the capacity of the interdisciplinary team to communicate and execute the treatment plan effectively and predictably. Digital tools and their associated workflows facilitate predictable patient and site-specific treatment protocols, while shortening treatment timeframes compared to conventional approaches. This presentation, drawing from contemporary evidence, will discuss how the periodontist and general restorative dentist can utilize digital workflows to optimize surgical and prosthetic outcomes, while creating a shared communication platform.
Room 613-614, SCC, Arch Building
The Evidence is Mounting: Why You Should Have an Alloplast in Your Regenerative Armamentarium
Speaker: Paul S. Rosen, DMD, MS, FACD, FICD
Moderator: Anton Sculean, DMD, MS, PhD
The opportunity to have a bone graft that is neither of human nor animal origin is quite appealing. However, the historical experience with alloplasts had not been on a par with other graft materials until now. Made of synthesized carbonate apatite, Cytrans Granules has the evidence to support its use. This lecture will present the mounting preclinical and clinical proof, including reentry and human histology, to justify why you should be using it today.

Advanced Digital Technologies for Full Arch Treatment
Speaker: Prof. Alessandro Pozzi, DDS, PhD
Advanced AI-powered digital technologies enable precise planning, implant placement, and immediate loading of full-arch cases. Guided surgery, navigation, and robotics optimize outcomes for complex atrophic patients, making more predictable use of angulated, zygomatic, and pterygoid implants. Intraoperative digital scanning and photogrammetry allow full-arch impressions without chairside relines. This workflow supports delivery of a 3D-printed temporary prosthesis in under one hour. A detailed step-by-step, evidence-based protocol will be presented for FP1 and FP3 cases, including the differences in soft tissue management and zirconia selection.

When Success Turns Complex: Managing Late Implant Complications
Speaker: Dr. Rodrigo Neiva
Every clinician wants to be involved with implant dentistry, but no one wants to be involved when complications happen. Periodontists are prepared to deal with early complications. Dealing with late complications often depends on creative solutions, and an interdisciplinary approach. The aim of this presentation is to present common complications and to discuss possible solutions for everyday problems.

Oragen and Allospark: Boost Your Regenerative Outcomes
Speaker: Bradley S. McAllister DDS, PhD
This presentation will review two unique approaches to improve your clinical regenerative outcomes. Oragen is a cellular bone allograft that has all three key elements for regenerative success: osteoconductive, osteoinductive and osteogenic contributions. Research and clinical cases will demonstrate how Oragen can be successfully integrated into your practice. Allospark has been shown to have increased concentrations of many key growth factors (BMPs, PDGF, IGF, FGF, VEGF) that can be added the graft material of your choice.
