09:00	Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR) Technique – Evolution to Revolution Single-tooth replacement in the esthetic zone has been one of the most common indications for dental implant placement. Compromised teeth are removed using atraumatic principles and immediately replaced by an implant-supported provisional restoration, with excellent esthetic, biological, and functional results. However, in cases of compromised sites with bone loss/gingival recessions, the clinical scenario presents a different dilemma. Until now, all developed surgical recommendations required long-term treatment with possible undesirable complications in the tissue architecture. The Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR) is a surgical and prosthetical technique established to broaden indications for immediate loading on individual teeth. In this way, tissue losses with varied extensions are reconstructed in the same surgical session of implant placement and provisional crown installation, reducing the number of interventions and keeping predictability on esthetic aspects. The IDR protocol was developed more than 18 years ago from the need to minimize the treatment time and morbidity of reconstructive procedures used in these cases. In this lecture we discuss the scientific basis, the step-by-step technique, indications and also the main advancements of the technique in the last 10 years. The IDR technique, which advocates minimally invasive surgery, flapless procedures, is presented as a viable and reproducible alternative. Learning Objectives Explain the step-by-step, indications, and advantages of the IDR concept Management of the graft from maxillary tuberosity and the 3-D reconstruction of hard and soft tissue damaged in post-extraction socket Discuss on bone biology and IDR response José Carlos Rosa Graduation course in Dentistry, Federal University of Santa Maria – UFSM – Santa Maria/RS – Brazil, 1988 Specialised course in Periodontics, Associação Paulista dos Cirurgiões-Dentistas – APCD – Bauru/SP – Brazil, 1991 Specialised course and Master of Science in Prosthesis, CPO SLMandic – Center of Dental Research São Leopoldo Mandic – Campinas/SP – Brazil, 2005 PhD in Implantology, CPO SLMandic – Center of Dental Research São Leopoldo Mandic – Campinas/SP – Brazil, 2014 Developer of the Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR) technique Author of the book “Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration – Immediately loaded implants in compromised sockets” by Quintessence Publishing International Speaker at Congresses in more than 60 countries Private Practice, Caxias do Sul – RS – Brazil.
09:45	Implants in the Aesthetic Zone - Key Factors for Success High esthetic standards and a reduced duration of the overall treatment are the overarching tendencies in esthetic implantology nowadays. While these two concepts may appear contradictory, our main goal is to achieve the maximal aesthetic results within the shortest time frame possible. This presentation will showcase the key factors for obtaining success in implant restorations in the esthetic zone and also a merger of concepts such as immediate implantation and guided implant placement with simple and complex situations of hard and soft tissue reconstruction in different types of bone and tissue deficiencies. The presentation will facilitate gaining a perspective on the extent of the therapeutic interval in relation to the complexity of the clinical situation and also how to avoid esthetic complications. Learning Objectives The participants will be able to evaluate single and multiple edentulous sites in the aesthetic zone The participants will be able to recognize the various types of alveolar ridge deficiencies and soft tissue defects and to decide on the appropriate surgical management of these clinical situations The participants will receive knowledge of the success criteria for implant restorations in the aesthetic area.

11:00	Esthetic Implant Dentistry: Planning and Execution The esthetic implant rehabilitation of patients with esthetically and functionally compromised dentition frequently involves a multidisciplinary approach. The achieving of esthetic objectives in multidisciplinary cases represents a considerable clinical challenge. During recent years, treatment modalities and options have changed. From a surgical point of view, less invasive procedures are used in order to preserve soft tissue anatomy and minimize recession. Also the design of implants and prosthetic components has changed in order to minimize bone resorption and soft tissue alterations. This lecture will focus on a new surgical and prosthetic approach in difficult esthetic implant rehabilitations. Learning Objectives Understand the perio-prostho correlation in anterior implant restorations Understand the use of connective tissue grafting Understand the prosthodontic factors that influence long term soft tissue stability Eric Van Dooren Dr. Eric Van Dooren attended the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, where he received his degree in dentistry in 1982.

15:15	Decision Making in Dental Implantology Implant therapy is a recognized treatment for edentulous areas with long term success. Nevertheless, in some critical situations we must use different techniques (treatment options) of advanced oral surgery and bone regeneration to allow the implant placement avoiding the damage of important anatomical structures, like the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) or the maxillary sinus. In severe cases of atrophic jaws, we must use very specific techniques to solve the clinical cases, like short or tilted implants or even more advanced techniques like extensive GBR (bone blocks, sinus lift and filling), inferior alveolar nerve lateralization, transposition or trespass. Is also very important to know how to deal and solve complications when treating challenging cases. One of the goals of the lecture is to explain the different treatment options with oral implants in demanding cases of atrophic jaws and to use some state-of-the-art techniques to help solving some challenging cases with predictable results. The other goal of the lecture is to create awareness of the objective criteria (ISQ, Torque, Bone density) that should be used to choose the right loading protocol (immediate, early or delayed) in all the rehabilitation situations, including the most demanding ones. Also, the more subjective factors, must be taken in consideration, to take the right decision and having long term predictable results. Learning Objectives Enumerating the different options to avoid or manipulate the inferior alveolar nerve for implant placement To explain summarily the different techniques to avoid or graft the pneumatized maxillary sinus Knowing the Criteria for predictable loading protocols for single and multiple splinted implants Which objective and subjective factors should be taken in consideration to choose the loading protocol Raquel Gomes Dr Gomes is a Dental Medical Doctor by the Faculty of Dental Medicine of the University of Oporto (FMDUP) (1996-2002), post-graduation in Implantology in Sweden (Bränemark Institute in Gothenburg and Maxilla-Facial Surgery Ward at Västerås Hospital), has a specialization course in Implantology by FMDUP (2003-2006), a Master's Degree in Implantology by FMDUP (MsC), a PhD degree in the field or Oral Surgery /Implantology at FMDUP (2013-2018) and is a oral surgeon (specialist in oral surgery) by the Portuguese Dental Medical Association (OMD).

12:00	50 Shades of White In the world of dentistry, achieving the perfect shade match for restorations is both a science and an art. As dental professionals, we know that shade-taking is not just about picking a color—it’s about ensuring that the restoration blends seamlessly with a patient’s natural smile. But why is shade so important? The right shade doesn’t just improve aesthetics; it plays a crucial role in patient satisfaction, restoration longevity, and the overall success of dental procedures. Why is shade-taking important? Shade matching is the key to making dental restorations look natural. A perfect shade match means that the restoration will not only function properly but will also blend in effortlessly with surrounding teeth, restoring both appearance and confidence. In contrast, a poor shade match can make the restoration stand out, detracting from the patient’s smile and potentially leading to dissatisfaction. What impacts shade-taking? Shade-taking is influenced by various factors, including the type of material used (porcelain, composite, etc.), the lighting in the environment, the natural color of the patient’s teeth, and even their lifestyle habits. Each of these factors plays a role in determining how closely a restoration can mimic the natural tooth. Proper understanding and technique are essential to selecting the right shade, considering not just the tooth’s color but also its translucency and texture. How to take the perfect shade match? In this session, I’ll share proven methods for achieving the ideal shade match. From using shade guides and digital tools to understanding the patient’s unique dental structure, we’ll explore best practices for assessing and selecting the perfect shade. I’ll also discuss the importance of lighting and how it affects the shade-taking process, as well as techniques to ensure consistency and accuracy. Now and Next: Currently, many dental professionals rely on traditional shade guides, but advancements in digital shade-matching technology are changing the game. In the next few years, we’ll see even more precision in shade-taking, with AI-powered tools and better materials that will make it easier than ever to create restorations that look and feel like natural teeth. We’ll discuss these innovations and how they can elevate your practice to the next level of precision and patient satisfaction. Join me to explore the vital role of shade-taking in modern dentistry, how to master the technique, and how the future of shade technology is set to transform the way we approach restorations. Learning Objectives Understand the Importance of Shade-Taking in Restorative Dentistry – Recognise how proper shade selection impacts the aesthetics, functionality, and long-term success of dental restorations. Identify Key Factors Affecting Shade Accuracy – Learn the factors that influence shade-taking, including lighting, material properties, and patient-specific characteristics such as natural tooth color and translucency.
