Treatment Planning 


Dear colleagues, 

It is our great pleasure to announce that the 20 th Annual Meeting of the EAO will take 

place in Athens from 13 th to 15 th October, 2011. 

‘Planning’ is an essential step prior to any treatment on patients. It deals with two core 

issues: what is the goal and how can we get there? 

Implant Dentistry is a growing and fast developing field. Hence, exactly defining the goal 

in the range between the ‘patients’ wish’ and the ‘perfect state of the art’ has become a 

challenge itself. Planning the necessary steps towards the goal may allow to ship around 

the multiple trapdoors and pitfalls of Implant Dentistry. And last but not least planning 

enables us to implement a quality management comparing the clinical outcome to the 

projected goal. 

Avoiding and managing complications, risk indicators, loading and treatment protocols 

and outcome predictability are just some important aspects of treatment planning which 

will be highlighted by the invited speaker faculty, all of them highly respected scientists 

and clinicians from all around the world. The choice between a broad variety of parallel 

sessions, master classes and oral presentations, accompanied by basic and clinical 

research as well as poster competitions and pre-congress step-by-step courses will 

satisfy the taste of everybody. 

The EAO main sponsors will provide further ‘industry satellite symposia’ and a large trade 

exhibition will be presented by the world’s leading companies. 

Athens is not only the capital but also the cultural and commercial center of Greece. 

Rooted in a history of more than 7 000 years, Athens provides overwhelming cultural 

treasures, where the Acropolis, a world cultural heritage of the UNESCO, is only the 

most famous one. Voted to be one of the European cultural capitals, the city provides a 

perfect combination of modern life and ancient history which is accompanied by the cordial 

hospitality of the Greek – an excellent and inspiring place to meet colleagues and friends. 

The 2011 EAO Scientific Committee set up a wonderful and interesting program. 

We want to thank all of them for their invaluable support and help. 

See you in Athens on the 2011 EAO Congress!

Treatment concepts for improved 

outcomes 

Prevention and treatments for optimal 

maintenance of hard and soft tissues 

Prof. Dr. Christoph HÄMMERLE, 

Switzerland 

Today, different clinical strategies are 

available regarding maintenance of the 

intact and reconstruction of the deficient 

ridge. Various techniques to deal with 

extraction sockets have recently been 

published showing controversial data. 

Among the methods presently employed 

guided bone regeneration (GBR) is the 

best documented for the augmentation of 

the bony alveolar ridge. In recent years, 

possibilities for augmenting soft tissues 

have been further developed and refined. 

Transplanting autogenic tissue or applying 

novel collagen matrices for soft tissue 

augmentation have shown positive and 

reliable clinical outcomes. 

Management of complications in sinus 

elevation 

Prof. Dr. Carlo MAIORANA, Italy 

Sinus elevation is currently a reliable 

procedure for bone augmentation in 

the posterior maxilla. Nevertheless, 

complications can arise from an incorrect 

surgical procedure or from anatomical 

anomalies. Most of the time, such 

complications can be avoided by carefully 

evaluating the preoperative CT scan, 

listening to the medical history of the patient, 

and performing the surgical procedure 

in the proper way. All the most common 

complications and their management will be 

highlighted together with key aspects from 

the most recent literature.

Implant stability diagnostics with ISQ – 

optimal loading decisions 

Use this opportunity to learn more about 

the latest developments and practice in 

objective stability diagnostics. 

Three of the most renowned clinicians 

in the field will present research and 

rationale for using Osstell ISQ in compelling 

presentations: 

Speakers: 

Prof. Peter Moy, USA 

Prof. Lars Sennerby, Sweden 

Dr. Paolo Trisi, Italy 

Moderator: Dr. Marco Degidi, Italy 

Using Osstell and ISQ is rapidly becoming a 

new standard as this is the only method to 

objectively diagnose implants and measure 

implant stability. With Osstell and ISQ you 

can easily test an implant without risking any 

damage to bone-implant connection. 

There can always be difficulties in 

determining the osseointegration status 

when an implant is to be loaded with the 

final prosthesis. Nevertheless, it is vital 

to know whether the implant is stable. 

Compare your initial ISQ values from the 

implant placement, and you can easily 

ascertain whether stability has developed 

as you had expected. 

Research today demonstrates that implants 

can be subject to immediate or early loading 

– as long as there is sufficient stability (all 

other relevant parameters considered). You 

can read in recent publications how the 

initial ISQ-value can help you decide whether 

to go ahead with early or immediate loading. 

In some cases there may be biological 

conditions demanding additional treatment 

such as sinus-lifts, bone grafts, membranes 

etc. With higher risk cases your prime 

target may not be loading the implant as 

early as possible. It may be more important 

to ensure that the implants are healing as 

expected. As long as there is access to 

the implant, the ISQ-reading will tell you the 

stability development and help you in your 

clinical evaluation. 

Advancing Solutions Through Continuity 

and Innovation 

Moderator 

Prof. Dr. Nikos Donos, United Kingdom 

Synthetic Biomaterials for GBR Today and 

Tomorrow – Improving Convenience for 

your Daily Practice 

Dr. Christer Dahlin, Sweden 

Vital bone is the decisive matrix for 

successful patient treatment in order to 

achieve reliable implant osseointegration and 

improve the esthetic outcome. Straumann’s 

regenerative portfolio, including the newly 

developed PEG-Membrane MembraGel 

and the well documented graft material 

BoneCeramic, offers a synthetic alternative 

to improve convenience for your daily 

practice. 

Advancing Implant Dentistry with New and 

Old Technologies 

Dr. Mario Roccuzzo, Italy 

New technologies are developed in order 

to simplify procedures and enhance 

predictability; However, long-term data are 

needed to assess the predictability of an 

implant. Therefore, it is beneficial when new 

technologies are based on existing and welldocumented 

solutions. 

Benefits of Using Original Prosthetic 

Components for Implant-Supported 

Reconstructions 

Prof. Dr. Urs Braegger, Switzerland 

Increased availability of 3 rd party prosthetic 

components raises concerns over the 

reliability and efficacy of implant-abutment 

connections. It is important to emphasize 

and demonstrate the advantages of using 

original prosthetic components for implantsupported 

restorations.

A Good Evening with Astra Tech 

Implant dentistry is all about recreating 

what nature once created. Under the right 

conditions, nature itself does the major part 

of the job. Our responsibility is to provide 

the right conditions. The latest example of 

this is the OsseoSpeed TX Profile implant. 

Prof. Wilfred Wagner and Dr. Robert Nölken 

will present outstanding clinical results by 

using this new implant, specially designed 

for sloped ridge situations – proving that 

adapting with nature is truly rewarding. 

Dr. Irena Sailer will present her way of 

providing the right conditions for each 

individual patient by using customized 

implant prosthetics. The continuous 

evolution of Astra Tech Implant System 

is proof of our commitment to development 

and innovations based on clinical evidence 

– before, during and after treatment; 

Prof. Lyndon Cooper’s presentation will 

cover five years of clinical experience with 

OsseoSpeed. What if we can create 

the future by going back to the roots - 

Prof. Tomas Albrektsson takes us back 

50 years to the time when the journey of 

osseointegration began.

University Lead Expertise vs. Daily Clinical 

Decisions: 

How Do They Benefit From Each Other? 

Speakers: 

Dr. Tiziano Testori 

Dr. Christian Stappert 

Dr. Tommie Van de Velde 

Content: 

As it applies for all medical sciences, 

dentistry’s ultimate aim is the best possible 

result from the patient treatment. Based on 

the intense research done by universities 

and the industry, numerous innovations 

have positively influenced outcomes, 

allowing dentists to have access to an 

increasing number of new products. This 

has lead to an evolution of the treatment 

options offered to patients. 

But, what is the role of the university today 

and how can that influence your everyday 

practice? Today clinical research and 

universities play a very important role in 

determining which technologies and new 

products represent a true advantage for 

the dentist and the patient. This role helps 

both the industry and the clinical community 

to differentiate between challenges and 

opportunities and sets the direction for 

future developments. 

This program will be driven by renowned 

faculty leaders with ample experience on 

how to apply new concepts and products to 

enhance treatment protocols and therefore 

answer a key question: How can continued 

cooperation between universities and dental 

practitioners lead to the best possible 

patient benefits over time? 

Treatment planning and patient 

disposition – Right decisions for 

enduring hard and soft tissue stability 

DENTSPLY Friadent welcomes you to an 

exciting forum with three outstanding 

and crossthinking clinicians sharing their 

broad based knowledge and experience 

of developing criteria and rationales for 

successful decision-making in implant 

therapy. 

There is no standardized format for clinical 

success, defining the optimum therapy 

for each patient involves assessment of 

individual risks and presenting options. 

Besides effective and versatile treatment 

solutions, the ability to develop smart 

perspectives and flexible decisions is key for 

stable and predictable treatment outcomes. 

We invite as our guest to the lectures of : 

Prof. Dr. Heiner WEBER, Germany: 

Strategies and criteria for implant 

placement and augmentation 

Learn more about the reasons for 

augmentation and the implications for the 

surgical protocol. 

Prof. Dr. Marc QUIRYNEN, Belgium: 

The impact of marginal and apical 

periodontitis on implant success 

Learn how to consider and treat periodontal 

disease in the context of implant therapy. 

Prof. Dr. Getulio NOGUEIRA, Canada: 

Detection of risk factors and management 

of periimplantitis 

Learn how to prevent, assess and cure 

adverse tissue reaction around implants. 

Distinguished clinical experts and scientists 

joining a discussion moderated by Dr. 

Nigel SAYNOR, UK will challenge the 

presentations. 

Join us for a delightful mix of lectures and 

discussion refined with Greek spirit, spiced 

with a touch of astute British humor.

of every doctor doing implants. Quicker soft 

tissue healing, lower pain and inflammation 

levels, BIC increase on implants, shorter 

osseointegration times, etc. are the drivers 

and expectations. Dr. Eduardo Anitua has 

spent the last 25 years doing implantology, 

doing research and giving lectures about 

how to develop the less invasive surgical 

protocols focussed on patients. During his 

professional life he has been developing 

the use of growth factor as a key tool to 

establish safe, repeatable and predictable 

surgical protocols when facing the most 

delicate clinical indications: narrow crest, 

lack of vertical bone, sinus lift techniques, 

etc. 

Dr. Eduardo Anitua during his lecture will 

have a review of his surgical protocols 

and will show long term follow up results 

to confirm the predictability of those 

protocols and the low invasive level of them. 

In summary he will describe his biologically 

guided implantology. 

Dr. Gorka Orive, Spain 

Dr. Orive will have a review about the last 15 

years of research on plasma rich in growth 

factors (P.R.G.F®-ENDORET®). He will 

detail several aspects linked to this cutting 

edge technique: protocol to obtain the four 

different formulations, preclinical data, 

clinical studies, clinical results and scientific 

publications. He will explain on detail the 

biologic concepts supporting this technique 

and why patients own proteins are meant to 

be the best available biomaterial. 

Dr. Konstantinos Mantalenakis, Greece 

Dr. Konstantinos Mantalenakis will show his 

personal experience when applying these 

low invasive protocols described before. 

Preferred Treatment Concepts for 

Today’s Patient needs 

Treatment planning of any implant case requires 

proper diagnosis based on conventional and/or 

digital technologies. The clinician’s goal is to serve 

the patient by reducing the number of treatment 

steps and by selecting the least invasive treatment 

options as supported by the most relevant science. 

Well-executed treatment planning will offer the 

patient an effective and reliable result, improving 

his/her quality of life. 

This interactive treatment planning session will 

be conducted by seven experienced clinicians, 

researchers, presenters ; 

Dr Aris Tripodakis, Dr Luc Vrielink, Dr Eirik 

Salvesen, Dr Eric Van Dooren, Dr Mauro Fradeani 

and Dr Christian Coachman 

under the lead of the moderator Dr Bernard Touati 

Session topics to be adressed and discussed by 

the experts: 

Treatment planning that focuses on surgical 

considerations and procedures for advanced 

residual ridge reduction in edentulous patients. 

Treatment strategies and related protocols in 

implant dentistry for edentulous patients have 

changed dramatically and are being continually 

refined and developed. The aim of this treatment 

planning session is to focus on the specific 

needs of the edentulous patient and the selected 

management rationale for each specific case. 

Treatment planning for anterior partial edentulism 

with special emphasis on peri-implant soft tissue 

management considerations as well as final 

restorative options to provide long-lasting esthetic 

results. 

The aim of this treatment planning session is 

to identify and optimally control those factors 

that contribute to overall soft tissue health and 

stability in dental implant treatment. These 

factors include implant design, abutment type and 

shape, restoration contour and a meticulously 

and scrupulously executed sequence of clinical 

procedures. 

A knowledge of, and appreciation for esthetic, 

biocompatible and functional parameters needs 

to be combined with precision of fit objectives 

and CAD/CAM technology to ensure optimal and 

routine treatment outcomes. The aim of this part 

of the treatment planning session is to identify 

those factors that contribute to long-lasting and 

esthetic results. 

Diagnostic, treatment planning through digital 

dentistry: 

Could new developments and features in CAD/CAM 

dentistry improve communication within the dental 

team and influence even more reliable treatment 

outcomes in restorative driven treatments?

Osseoincorporation with Trabecular 

Metal Implants. 

The best thing next to bone. 

Implant technology has significantly evolved 

during the last year, addressing most of the 

challenges for a better osseointegration and 

increasing the predictability of the treatments. 

But still some limitations remain and new 

challenges need a response, have we reached 

the limit of the current technologies? Which 

is the next step for the future? Conventional 

textured or coated implant surfaces achieve 

bone-to-implant contact, or ongrowth. 

What if in addition to osseointegration, we 

could achieve Osseoincorporation? Trabecular 

Metal Technology is an innovative material 

designed for both ongrowth and ingrowth, or 

osseoincorporation. 

Prof. Dr. Markus Hürzeler, Germany 

Implant developments over the last 20 

years – successes and shortfalls. 

Prof. Dr. Markus Hürzeler will review the 

major developments in the technology of 

dental implants over the last 20 years. He 

will reflect on the most critical milestones 

and assess their effects on enhanced 

treatment options and patient outcome.

Trabecular Metal Implant: Research and 

development 

Michael Collins will give an overview of the 

research and development concept behind 

the new Trabecular Metal Dental Implant. 

An overview will be given on material 

properties, design rationale and the status 

and future plans of mechanical, animal and 

human trial programmes will be presented. 

Dr. Markus Schlee, Germany 

Clinical Experience with Trabecular Metal 

Implants 

Dr. Markus Schlee was the first dentist 

using the Trabecular Metal Dental Implant 

clinically in Europe. He conducted two 

studies on Trabecular Metal implants 

(early loading study and a noninterventional 

study). Moreover current concepts of 

better soft and hard tissue integration of 

dental implants will be discussed. Based 

on the material properties combined with 

optimized clinical procedures he will give 

an overview of his clinical experience and 

further possibilities with Trabecular Metal 

implants.

Genesis, The New Biomimetic Implant 

System 

The Genesis Biomimetic Implant System TM 

represents a major advance in implant 

dentistry through its biomimetic design 

– a design inspired by nature. The unique 

benefits of the Genesis System include the 

potential to achieve immediate function 

with a natural looking smile, allowing the 

patient to leave the dentist’s office with a 

replacement tooth on the day of surgery. 

First used over 30 years ago, dental 

implants have primarily focused on restoring 

the function of natural teeth. Today, the 

Genesis System goes beyond simply 

restoring function. Through its patented 

BioSpark surface, a nano-surface that 

mimics the structure of bone, the Genesis 

System creates a healing environment to 

optimize bone integration. In addition, the 

conical seal minimizes area for bacterial 

colonization, and the medialized abutment 

connection shifts bacteria away from bone. 

Finally, the unique AnaTite process results 

in the first-ever marketed pink implant collar 

and a complete line of pink prosthetics. The 

aesthetic breakthrough of the AnaTite 

process allows the Genesis System to 

project a more natural hue through the 

patient’s gum tissue for a more natural 

looking smile.

Classical Athens was a powerful city-state, home of 

Plato's Academy, Aristotle's Lyceum and the 

birthplace of democracy and philosophy. It is widely 

referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and 

the heritage of the classical era is still evident today in 

the city. 

Athens and its periphery Attica provide overwhelming 

treasures and famous attractions: well-renowned 

archaeological sites like the Parthenon, plus Roman, 

Byzantine and some remaining Ottoman monuments. 

The city is home to two UNESCO World Heritage 

Sites: the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval 

Daphni Monastery. 

A cosmopolitan metropolis, modern Athens is a 

major, vibrant European city and an important centre
