Laser-assisted periodontal therapy & applications in implant dentistry Conventional root planing relies on the tactile feedback. However residual calculus has been an issue, which may limit the efficacy. Utilizing the Er,Cr:YSGG dental laser to open up the pockets enables the visibility, which will optimize the treatment outcomes. The first obstacle of periodontal regeneration is to remove the granulation completely. The Er,Cr:YSGG dental laser has its advantages of non-touching blasting effects and focal spot laser beams, making it easier to debride the periodontal defects. In implant dentistry, laser can be applied in treating peri-implantitis through decontaminating the implant surface and soft tissue gingivectomy. Peri-implant bone regeneration can be achieved via laser decontamination and peri-implant GBR. The laser de-epithelialized autogeneous gingival grafts can be successfully used for treating gingival recession, for achieving soft tissue augmentation around implants and for

Standardized global oral health data are limited. Oral health data are rarely integrated into national disease surveillance, particularly in low-and middle-income countries. There is an urgent need to assess the true impact of oral diseases and develop strategies to abate them in order to improve health outcomes in a measurable way.

Implant placement protocols have been extensively research and reviewed in an effort to determine the most efficient and predictable pathway for implant therapy following tooth extraction. The timing of implant placement is directly linked to physiological process of wound healing and ridge alterations following tooth extraction. Similarly implant loading protocols have been evaluated to determine when is the safest time to restore an implant and provide occlusal loading. Similar physiological processes also dictate the osseointegration process and concepts related to primary and secondary implant stability. However, it is imperative to understand the relationship between implant placement and loading protocols.

Antibiotics are life-saving drugs. An infection that does not respond to antibiotics is known as an antibiotic-resistant infection. This is a global problem which poses a significant threat to health due to prolonged illnesses, longer hospital stays and increased mortality. Dentists and dental teams have an essential role in tackling antibiotic resistance.

In May 2021, the 74th session of the World Health Assembly adopted a landmark resolution on Oral health, witnessing the return of oral health to the global health agenda. The resolution recognizes the immense global burden of oral diseases and their associations with other noncommunicable disease (NCDs), urging Member States to put a greater focus on prevention interventions that tackle shared risk factors, include essential oral healthcare within universal health coverage (UHC) benefit packages, and support oral health research and professionals to deliver quality prevention and care.

Sonic toothbrushes not only clean orally, but also keep teeth intact and healthy longer and have a positive impact on overall health. Oral hygiene plays still the most important role not just in prevention of the most common oral diseases - periodontists and caries: it ensures long term maintenance of oral health and general health too.

Minimum Intervention has been focused mainly on caries, although this concept can be applied to every disease. To achieve long-term results in therapy of the patients focus today is primary on early identification and assessment of caries risk factors by using caries risk assessment forms. Furthermore, it is important to diagnose the first signs of demineralization of hard dental tissue in order to avoid surgical treatment. Modern way of treatment in dental practice is based on concept that demineralized, non-cavitated lesions can be „healed“ using different treatment options. Even in deep lesions concept of remineralization can be applied in order to preserve vitality of the toot. The choice of material as well as procedures depends on multiple factors, which are influenced by the severity of the disease.

Dr. Anthony Dawson

The SAC Classification system has been a pillar of the ITI’s education philosophy since the publication of “The SAC Classification in Implant Dentistry” in 2009. Since then, however, ongoing evolution of treatment concepts, techniques and materials have made significant chages in the way we approach implant dentistry. These developments have led to a review of the SAC Classification scheme. This has been primarily focused on the online SAC Classification Tool and has also resulted in significant revision of the SAC book. This webinar will discuss the development of the new SAC Classification Tool and Book, and what you can expect to see when these are released later this year.

All health professionals have a prominent role to play in tobacco control. They have the trust of the population, the media and opinion leaders, and their voices are heard across a vast range of social, economic and political arenas It is now accepted that helping tobacco users to quit is part of the role of health professionals, including dentists and other oral health professionals. This presentation will summarize what is currently known about the concepts and theories associated with Tobacco Cessation and illustrate practical implementation of Tobacco Cessation measures in dentals settings.

Better, faster, cheaper. Dentists are being challenged to improve outcomes of implant care while their practices face pressures to make that care more affordable and efficient.

Dr. Claudio Stacchi

The bone remodeling that follows the extraction of the dental elements often results in an alveolar ridge with a reduced horizontal dimension, making implant-prosthetic rehabilitation problematic.

Prof. Penny Hatzimanolakis

Technology has allowed dental implants to be more accessible to patients, which can improve their oral health. As oral health care practitioners, Hygienists play a pivotal role in maintaining implants. Fundamental knowledge of implant components, mechanism and debridement materials are central for achieving comprehensive and individualized patient care. This lecture is intended for clinicians involved with the assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation of implant components, instrumentation and overall impact on oral health.

With the advent of advanced technologies and communication tools, the provision and promotion of health care is being changed dramatically. The digital transformation affects medical practices and affects or will affect dentists and their patients for years to come. Recent experiences of hospitals and medical practices have shown that dentists can expect to encounter revolutionary changes as a result of the digital transformation. The Internet, the World Wide Web, the contribution of artificial intelligence, and other technologies driving the information revolution are redefining patient education, patient care, referral relationships, practice management, quality, and interprofessional collaborations.
