Session 1 – Immediate implant placement: decisions & techniques in the aesthetic zone

Moderator: Susana Noronha

Decision tree for anterior and posterior immediate placement

Homa Zadeh

Added value of CTG and/or gap filling for immediate implants in the aesthetic zone. Is there any advantages on this approach?”

After tooth extraction, there are several dimensional alterations in the alveolus that can affect future implant placement and, beyond, a good aesthetic result.

In this sense, the use of immediate implants emerged as an attempt to reduce these conditions. It was also found that their simple use did not allow for predictable limitation of bone remodeling, resulting in horizontal and vertical bone loss, especially of the buccal bone plate. Thus, several attempts were made to condition/limit and reduce these alterations, such as the use of filling materials or soft tissue grafts when placing immediate implants.

The presentation will discuss the additional advantages of using these options, not only in terms of reducing vertical and horizontal dimensional changes, but also their long-term stability, leading to stable and aesthetically appropriate treatment.

We will discuss this topic not only regarding titanium but also in  zirconia implants.

Workshops

Abstract
This hands-on workshop explores the latest techniques and the scientific background for immediate implant placement & restoration in the aesthetic zone, focusing on bone and soft tissue preservation concepts.

Learning Objectives

  • Risk analysis based on the SAC-classification
  • Factors of peri-implant tissue stability : from human to biological to technical parameters
  • The ideal 3D-position, primary stability & « fill-the-gap » concepts
  • Digital planning & guided surgery (AI-driven & in-house printed guides)
  • The Socket Shield Technique: concept and clinical application
  • Immediate restoration vs. delayed provisionalization
  • Natural emergence profile & prosthetic parameters
  • The « BAP » concept : the « Biologically Active Provisional «

Planning full-arch restoration

Piero Venezia & Raffaele Cavalcanti

Immediacy in guided implant surgery represents a convergence of advanced digital planning methodologies and meticulously structured protocols aimed at optimizing clinical outcomes through immediate placement and loading. This workshop will offer a comprehensive framework for incorporating guided digital workflows into immediate implantology, emphasizing both theoretical principles and practical applications.

The session will concentrate on hands-on and protocols designed to ensure precision in implant placement, seamless provisionalization, and the preservation of hard and soft tissue integrity. Key techniques to be explored include digitally designed emergence profiles, and tissue profiling—each essential for achieving optimal aesthetic contours and long-term peri-implant tissue stability.

Attendees will gain valuable practical knowledge into the application of digital immediacy protocols, empowering them to elevate surgical precision and predictability in their clinical practice.

Learning Objectives

  • To empower clinicians with the skills and protocols required for accurate, aesthetic, and functional implant outcomes, particularly in immediate loading scenarios.
  • To promote the integration of digital technologies such as CAD/CAM, CBCT, intraoral scanning, and 3D printing into everyday implant practice.
  • To instill confidence in the application of guided surgical protocols, provisionalization techniques, and soft/hard tissue management.

Abstract
Replace and recreate nature with immediate implant placement and connective tissue grafting following the 123 approach. Learn the secrets to invisible tooth replacement starting from atraumatic extraction with immediate placement. Discover the art of connective tissue grafting with emergence profile sculpting using custom healers & provisionals to achieve optimal pink & white aesthetics.

Learning Objectives

  • To ensure delegates are able to assess & plan cases suitable for immediate implant placement.
  • To ensure delegates are able to assess when an alternative preservation strategy may be necessary and how to implement the protocol.
  • To ensure delegates understand the principles of accurate 3D implant placement.
  • To ensure delegates are able to harvest & utilise connective tissue grafting from the palate as part of their treatment protocol.
  • To ensure delegates understand how to sculpt the optimal emergence profile utilising custom healers & immediate provisional restorations.
  • To ensure delegates can design a blueprint for the final restoration.
  • Completion of hands on immediate implant placement and connective tissue grafting on models.
