Ed Jackson is a former professional rugby player who played at the highest level for over a decade. Following a life-changing accident that left him paralysed from the neck down, Ed has gone on to inspire countless others by quite literally climbing mountains, showing that no obstacle is insurmountable with determination and resilience.

In April 2017, Ed’s life changed forever when a dive into the shallow end of a swimming pool resulted in a severe spinal cord injury, leaving him paralysed from the neck down. Doctors told him he would never walk again. Through remarkable grit, relentless rehabilitation, and an indomitable spirit, Ed defied the odds, reaching the summit of a mountain within a year of his accident. 

Ed’s resilience and optimism in the face of adversity were further celebrated in August 2021 with the release of his debut book ‘ Lucky’, which became an instant Sunday Times Bestseller. Through ‘Lucky’, Ed shares his powerful story of triumph over adversity, a testament to hope and perseverance. The book’s impact led to a major adaptation by Universal Pictures, with The Mountain Within Me’ hitting cinemas in August 2024. The movie, which has reached audiences across the globe, has been described as “an inspiring, thought-provoking documentary about unexpected change, hope, and finding renewedpurpose in life”. 

In recent years, Ed has also become a well-known broadcaster. As a lead host for Channel 4's coverage of the Paralympics in Paris, he brought viewers insightful commentary and an authentic perspective on the power of sport and resilience. His involvement in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, eventually held in 2021, further showcased his dynamic presence on screen and his commitment to raising awareness about overcoming challenges.

In November 2019, Ed achieved yet another milestone by climbing Mera Peak. When not climbing mountains, he’s regularly seen presenting and commentating on Channel 4, bringing a unique and inspiring voice to  broadcasting. Ed has been an integral member of Channel 4's Paralympics hosting team, contributing to the Tokyo 2020 Games and, more recently, the 2024 Games in Paris.

Ed’s journey from his accident to where he is today is a powerful reminder of what’s possible with courage, hope, and resilience. His story continues to inspire, encouraging audiences to push through their own obstacles and embrace a positive, fearless mindset.

The Ortho-Perio-Restorative interface plays a critical role in the optimum management of the broken-down dentition, missing and failing teeth and severe alveolar defects or advanced periodontal disease involving teeth in the aesthetic zone. This presentation will outline the interdisciplinary team approach to the management of these dilemmas in our practice. The aesthetic rehabilitation of the periodontally and structurally compromised dentition in the aesthetic zone remains a challenge despite the numerous advances in the treatment of periodontitis, regenerative and dental implant therapies. The management of some cases requires some ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking.

Learning Objectives

• Learn the key principles for the diagnosis, treatment planning and management of the compromised dentition
• Learn the key elements in the surgical & prosthetic management of implant restoration of missing and failing teeth in the aesthetic zone
• Gain an understanding of the biology of the peri-implant tissues
• Review the principles of bone and soft tissue management around implants, as well as how to manage bone and soft tissue defects in post-extraction sites and peri-implant defects
• Review a systematic approach to case management in complex cases
• See the benefit of interdisciplinary case management and the management of the Ortho-Perio-Restorative interface
• Learn how orthodontic treatment can faciliate treatment outcomes
• See strategies for aesthetic rehabilitation of aesthetic & restorative dilemmas will be presented and discussed including the management of failed implant and/or grafting cases in the aesthetic zone along with implants cases with compromised aesthetic outcomes
• See the interdisciplinary rehabilitation of patients with severe alveolar defects in the aesthetic zone and the management of patients with advanced periodontal disease involving teeth in the aesthetic zone with significant bone and tissue loss
