ABSTRACT

Artificial Intelligence and Mixed Reality in implant surgery and bone reconstruction

In Dentistry, digital technologies are rapidly gaining ground: new tools such as intra- and extra-oral scanners, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), software systems for computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) have entered our practices.

The "personalized" three-dimensional reconstructions and planning represent a further added value in the regenerative and reconstructive surgery therapies of bone tissue in the dental and maxillofacial fields.

The real revolution is the introduction of Artificial Intelligence and Mixed Reality software which simplify both the planning and execution phases of therapies, especially with innovative holographic implant placement.

Mixed Reality (MR) is an emerging technology that has shown to have increasing applications in multiple different medical sectors. These include, but are not limited to, the Maxillo-facial and Dentistry disciplines of medicine. In these medical specialties, the focus of MR technology is to achieve a more visible surgical field during an operation.

Currently, this goal is brought about by an accurate display of either static or dynamic diagnostic images via the use of a visor or specific glasses.

This new protocol involves the acquisition of three-dimensional (3D) patient data which are loaded into AI software which automatically segments and aligns the patient's 3D models. These 3D models are loaded into Mixed Reality software and used for planning implant surgery through holography.

The necessary tools will be analyzed and how to choose and use them in various clinical applications with predictable results, also presenting the first clinical application of a novel mixed reality-based dynamic navigation (MR-DN)system in implant surgery.

ABSTRACT

The conditioning of peri-implant soft tissues plays a fundamental role, not only esthetically to optimize the emergence profiles and the architecture of soft tissues but also to facilitate the hygienic and structural maintenance of restorations in the posterior areas. Various techniques have been proposed in the literature, and today there are validated clinical protocols to achieve the desired outcome, but these procedures require numerous appointments and repeated interventions for creeping and stabilization of the soft tissues. However, time is a crucial factor, not only for clinicians but also for patients, who are increasingly seeking fast and minimally invasive restorative solutions.

The advent of Digital Dentistry has made it possible to simplify clinical procedures, reduce chair-time, and improve patients’

comfort. In this context, innovative healing abutments have been developed that can also be used as implant scan bodies, eliminating the need for repeated unscrewing of implant-prosthetic components and contributing to a faster and more stable maturation of peri-implant tissues. These “profile designers” were designed as an evolution of the "one abutment-one time" concept, based on which it is now well known that the less interference there is with the epithelial and connective components of the soft tissues, the faster the maturation of peri-implant tissues and the greater their stability over time.

This approach significantly reduces the number of appointments, the time of each session, and the comfort of patients in the fabrication of implant-supported prosthetic restorations.

The lecture will aim to highlight the clinical protocols and procedural advantages of using these innovative implant-prosthetic profile designers in the digital workflow of Prosthodontics.

ABSTRACT

“PROSTHO–PERIO”: A Digitally Integrated Periodontal–Prosthodontic Workflow for Esthetic and Predictable Implant Therapy

Dr.Cuong Pham,

DDS, Advanced Specialist Degree in Medicine (Vietnam – Second-Level Specialist)

Abstract:
The “Prostho–Perio” concept embodies a comprehensive and biologically oriented integration of periodontal and prosthodontic principles in implant therapy. This interdisciplinary approach aims to maximize esthetic predictability, functional stability, and long-term clinical success through precise diagnosis, digital planning, and coordinated execution between specialties. In contemporary implant dentistry, the interplay between peri-implant soft tissue architecture and prosthetic design is crucial for achieving outcomes that meet the rising esthetic expectations of patients.

The integrated workflow includes prosthetically driven implant placement, periodontal procedures such as soft-tissue augmentation, crown lengthening, and gingival recontouring, as well as advanced prosthodontic interventions—ranging from veneers and single-unit crowns to full-arch implant-supported restorations. Digital tools, including CBCT-derived planning, intraoral scanning, and CAD/CAM fabrication, support improved accuracy and communication throughout the treatment process. Central to this concept is the meticulous optimization of micro- and macro-esthetic parameters: soft-tissue thickness, gingival zenith symmetry, emergence profile development, pontic site conditioning, and harmonious integration of tooth morphology within the smile framework.

Successful implementation of the “Prostho–Perio” philosophy requires close collaboration between periodontists, prosthodontists, and digital technicians to ensure that biological and mechanical factors are simultaneously addressed. By uniting periodontal health with prosthetically guided design, this approach enhances predictability and contributes to stable peri-implant tissues, improved patient-reported satisfaction, and durable clinical outcomes. This presentation outlines the rationale, workflow, and clinical applications of the “Prostho–Perio” concept, highlighting its relevance in achieving high-level esthetic and functional success in modern implant dentistry.

ABSTRACT

Adequate bone volume and quality are fundamental prerequisites for successful dental implant therapy. However, alveolar bone deficiencies are frequently encountered due to trauma, periodontal diseases, long-term edentulism, and anatomical limitations. In such cases, augmentation techniques are employed to increase bone volume either before or during implant placement. Currently, various augmentation methods such as guided bone regeneration (GBR), sinus lifting procedures, block graft applications, and particulate grafting are widely preferred.

In addition, the success of augmentation is directly related to the osteogenic, osteoinductive, and osteoconductive properties of the graft material, as well as its mechanical stability and capacity for vascularization. Although autogenous grafts are considered the gold standard due to their biological advantages, allografts, xenografts, and synthetic graft materials also provide successful outcomes in clinical practice. The appropriate selection of augmentation technique and graft material enhances primary implant stability and positively affects long-term implant success and osseointegration.

ABSTRACT

Achieving passive fit in implant prosthodontics is critical for the long-term clinical success of implant-supported prostheses. The impression plays a key role in obtaining passive fit. Although conventional impression techniques have long been considered the clinical standard, recent technological advancements in digital impression systems have introduced new approaches in implant prosthodontics. In this context, understanding the relative advantages, disadvantages, and case-specific limitations of conventional and digital impression systems is essential for their appropriate clinical application. In their presentation, Merve Erdoğ and Ece İrem Oğuz will comparatively evaluate conventional and digital impression methods for implant-supported prostheses with respect to accuracy, reproducibility, clinical applicability, patient comfort, and current evidence in accordance with the literature. By discussing the advantages and limitations of both approaches across different clinical scenarios, the lecture aims to provide clinicians an evidence-based perspective to guide selecting the most appropriate impression technique in implant prosthesis.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ece İrem Oğuz graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Dentistry in 2011. She completed her specialty in Prosthodontics at Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry in 2015. She continued her academic career and was awarded the title of Associate Professor in 2021. She is currently working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Prosthodontics at Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry. Her main research interests include digital dentistry, implant-supported prostheses, and advanced prosthetic treatment approaches. She has authored numerous national and international scientific publications and has been involved in several research projects in these fields.

ABSTRACT

I-Physio is a system that prioritizes soft tissue stability in the laboratory production of implant-supported prostheses and simplifies laboratory workflows. Thanks to its single, universal transmucosal design, it minimizes component changes and preserves peri-implant mucosal integrity.

In the laboratory, CAD/CAM systems are used to digitally design the impression data and emergence profile obtained. During prosthetic design, preserving soft tissue, correctly positioning contact points and occlusion, and achieving aesthetic contours are the primary steps. Once the design is approved, prosthesis fabrication is carried out through the CAM system; the laboratory optimizes material selection as well as pressing or milling processes. The final prosthesis is completed in compatibility with the I-Physio abutment and the model, maintaining soft tissue stability and a predictable emergence profile.

This approach provides accuracy, efficiency, and predictable aesthetic and functional outcomes in laboratory workflows. I-Physio offers a standardized and optimized workflow in dental laboratories, simplifying the process for both educational and clinical applications.

ABSTRACT

I-Physio presents a simplified, soft-tissue–driven workflow for implant prosthetics. The system utilizes a single universal transmucosal design that remains in place throughout healing and impression stages, minimizing component changes and preserving the peri-implant mucosal seal. The protocol follows three sequential steps: placement of the iPhysio abutment, soft-tissue maturation around its predefined emergence profile, and impression capture directly at the iPhysio level. This streamlined approach supports four key functional outcomes: enhanced soft-tissue stability, predictable emergence profile formation, improved accuracy in digital workflows, and greater prosthetic efficiency. The concept aims to reduce clinical complexity, shorten treatment duration, and provide a more reproducible pathway to esthetic and functional implant-supported restorations.

This presentation will address the fundamental principles of surgical guide design, clinical decision points, and the impact of design details on surgical accuracy in the process that begins after implant planning.

Participants will learn about the role of critical parameters such as support type selection, guide surface design, sleeve position, stability criteria, irrigation, and field of view in creating an ideal guide anatomy, using case examples. Furthermore, common errors in guide design according to different clinical scenarios and their clinical consequences will be discussed.

The aim of the presentation is to provide participants with a practical perspective on how to move beyond digital planning, which is merely a software output, and create guide designs that are safely applicable, predictable, and minimize complications in the surgical field.

ABSTRACT

Immediate implantation is a popular approach that combines tooth extraction and implant placement in a single session, improving patient satisfaction and shortening treatment time. However, the success of this technique depends on a rigorous decision-making process.

This presentation will delve into the clinical and radiographic success criteria that determine the correct indications for immediate implantation. In particular, the management of biological risk factors such as alveolar bone structure, soft tissue biotypes, and infection status will be addressed. Furthermore, the focus will be on optimal surgical strategies and protocols, including ensuring implant stability, selecting graft materials for gap management, and flap design.

The aim is to provide clinicians with an evidence-based roadmap to maximize the predictability of immediate implantation and minimize potential complications.
