Clinical Round Tables
Participants will have the opportunity to discuss different topics and indications in small groups with our renowned experts. The participants will move in small groups from one round table to the next so that all participants spend 30 minutes with each of the experts. Registration will be required for this unique experience of small-group discussions with our international experts. For further information on the Clinical Round Table prices, please check the registration page. Registration opens in September.
Clinical Round Table 5
Osteology Workshops
Places to the workshops are limited and allocated on a first come first served basis. Attendees must also register for the Scientific Symposium to join a workshop. For further information on workshop prices, please check the registration page. Registration opens in September.
Since implant survival and success are greater than 95% in most short-term and long-term studies, bone loss can occur over the lifetime of the implant. This is especially of concern in the anterior esthetic zone, where thin buccal bone can often compromise esthetics and function. As dental implants continue to increase in usage and popularity, clinicians must be well trained in bone augmentation procedures and techniques. Exposed threads or a thin buccal plate at the time of implant placement can certainly lead to resorption with subsequent bone loss and gingival recession, posing challenges for both clinicians and patients. Unfortunately, methods and techniques to regenerate bone around implants display varying degrees of success, leaving clinicians with uncertainty in recommending and providing appropriate treatment.
This hands-on session (with pig jaws) will provide or enhance the technical skills of practicing clinicians on procedures peri-implant bone regeneration and soft tissue and flap management.

Vertical and horizontal augmentation presents one of the greatest challenges of bone regeneration in implant dentistry. This is primarily due to the difficulty of the surgical procedure and its potential complications.
These complications include postsurgical swelling, bruising, and potential neurosensory disturbances. Minimally invasive flap management that can minimize the chances of these complications will be revealed during this hands-on course. Graft harvesting, membrane fixation for vertical augmentation as well as for the Sausage Technique TM will be practiced.
A step by step approach how to protect the neurovascular bundles such as the mental nerve and to achieve a safe, tension free closure will be learned during this practical course.
Partner & Industry Workshops
Peri-implantitis remains one of the most pressing challenges in contemporary implant dentistry, with conventional therapies often showing limited long-term success. Electrolytic cleaning has recently emerged as an innovative and effective approach to biofilm removal and implant surface decontamination, creating favorable conditions for healing and supporting regenerative outcomes. By integrating scientific knowledge with hands-on experience, this workshop aims to provide participants with the confidence and skills necessary to incorporate this novel approach into daily clinical practice. Participants will gain insights into the biological rationale, clinical protocols, case selection, and outcome data, while also practicing the application of this therapy step by step.
