Single-tooth replacement using CBCT matching and virtual wax-up
Dr Jakob Zwaan, Netherlands & DT Vito Minutolo, Italy
In our practice we often encounter major challenges when just a single tooth needs to be substituted. In order to estimate the risk of an unacceptable aesthetic treatment result and to determine the most effective treatment plan, it is necessary to perform an analysis of the desired tooth shape, the soft tissue architecture and the bone volume necessary to stabilise an implant in the optimal position and support the soft tissue...

Drs Louwrens Swart & Paul van Zyl, South Africa
Immediate implant placement and loading of a pros-thesis in an edentulous jaw is an accepted treatment modality in dental practice worldwide. Optimisation of treatment time is an attractive option for both the treating implantologist and the patient; thus, a single-stage surgical procedure and new loading protocols have been explored...

Implant treatment of heavy smokers with critical bone situations
Drs Branislav Fatori & Inge Schmitz, Germany
In today’s dentistry, the use of implants is a common modality for treating patients with missing teeth. Therapeutic options and aesthetics heavily depend on the treatment concept. Problematic situations include insufficient bone volume, poor bone quality, periodontitis and, of course, heavy smoking. Smoking reduces the possibility of successful implant integration. In this article, we present two cases in which the patients were heavy smokers with anatomically critical bone situations in the form of atrophy of the jaws. Both patients were treated according to the new protocol that we have developed especially for extreme smokers. Four implants were inserted in total...

In implant dentistry, high primary stability is considered to be the most crucial requirement for implant success,1 especially when applying restorative concepts like immediate restoration and loading. Implant design features are one of the most fundamental elements that can be influenced by the clinician, by the choice of implant, to have an effect on implant primary stability. It is also the implant design which affects the implant’s ability to be able to withstand loading during or after its osseointegration...
