Dear Colleagues, 

It is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 14 th Annual Scientific 

Meeting in Munich. 

I’d like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the EAO 

Board in acknowledgement of their support and help during the two years and a half 

which have been necessary to prepare this meeting. 

The past EAO meetings have been highly successful events attracting over 3000 

colleagues from all over the world last year in Paris. We are confident that the Munich 

conference will again demonstrate quality and innovation of a rich scientific 

programme. Without doubt, researchers and clinicians will draw high benefits from 

the many topics which will address the latest progresses in the field of osseointegration. 

The number of colleagues that can be admitted to the meeting is strictly limited 

because of safety reasons. Therefore, we recommend early registration to the 

congress and early hotel reservation. 

This time Munich has been selected for the meeting, where the EAO has been founded 

many years ago. The congress will take place during the world famous Oktoberfest. 

Please be aware that there is a high probability that during the Oktoberfest hotels in 

Munich will be booked out early independent of the category. 

I hope that you will enjoy Munich with its many attractions. 

I’m looking forward to welcoming you at the 14 th Annual Scientific Meeting of the EAO. 

Friedrich W. NEUKAM 

Chairman, EAO Munich 2005 Meeting 

On behalf of the European Association of Osseointegration (EAO), we 

are pleased to invite you to the next EAO 2006 meeting in Zurich from 

5 to 7 October, 2006. 

All past EAO meetings have been successful, and have gathered more 

and more participants. The EAO wishes to share knowledge by offering 

a platform for presentation of the latest research and clinical developments. The 

Zurich meeting will be mainly focused on the prosthetic aspect of osseointegration 

will undoubtedly maintain its high reputation. 

Zurich is the perfect place to make this meeting both an instructive and enjoyable 

experience. 

Franck RENOUARD 

President of the EAO 

On behalf of the German Association of Oral Implantology (DGI) I would 

like to extend cordial greetings and a warm welcome to you. As national 

association we are happy to support the 14 th Annual Congress of the 

European Association for Osseointegration that takes place in Munich in 

September this year. 

The topics of this meeting reflect the large variety of areas into which oral implantology 

has developed today. An international panel of renowned speakers will identify 

challenges in treatment planning, surgical performance and restorative measures that 

are essential for a long term treatment success. Scientific and clinical papers will 

highlight areas of ongoing development and frontiers of research in oral implantology. 

The typical spirit of Munich with its cultural tradition and Bavarian hospitality forms a unique 

background and will make this congress a both instructive and enjoyable experience. 

We hope that you will be able to join us in Munich and look forward to seeing you there. 

Henning SCHLIEPHAKE 

President of the German Association of Oral Implantology (DGI)

Curriculum Vitae 

Associated as dentist and oral surgeon 

together with Dr. Axel Kirsch in private 

practice at Filderstadt. 

Since 1980 clinical and experimental work 

in the field of perio-implant-prosthetic andro-maxillofacial 

implantology. Specialisations on oral rehabilitation, periodontology, 

implant-prosthetic, preprosthetic surgery. 

Board Member of the German Society of Implantology (DGI). 

Approved specialist in parodontology of the EDA 

(European Dental Association). 

Part-time lecturer for the Academy of Practice and Science 

(APW) with the German Society of Oral Medicine and 

Dentistry. 

Periodical lectures in the students´program “Implantprosthetics 

and Perio-prosthetics” at the University Hospital 

Charité of the Humboldt-University Berlin. 

Guest lecturer since June 2000 in the University Hospital 

Ulm, Dept. for Oral Surgery. 

Visiting Professor at the Nippon Dental University, Niigata 

since June 2004. 

Lecturing internationally and multiple publications in all 

fields of above specialisations. 

Immediate implant placement in the posterior 

maxilla-indications and treatment concepts 

Immediate implant placement seems to be the 

most propriate therapeutical concept to keep up 

hard and soft tissue structures after tooth loss. 

Many investigations have been done following 

this concept in the anterior maxilla and mandible. 

Sufficient bone volume, primary stability of the 

endosseous implant and an unloaded healing 

phase are the prerequesites for a successful 

outcome of this particular protocol. Especially for 

the posterior maxilla it is much more critical to 

fulfil the above mentioned prerequisites. Bone 

quality, bone quantity, anatomical structures, such 

as the sinus cavity, are limiting the therapeutical 

ideas. Yet, there is not much report given in the 

literature because of this particular challenging 

situation. 

The lecture will focus reasonable in detail the 

difference between anterior and posterior maxilla 

and it will emphasize on the possibilities to 

overcome the limitation of immediate implant 

placement in this region.

The posterior atrophic maxillae; techniques for 

avoiding augmentation procedures 

This lecture will introduce the use of different 

techniques adequate in biomechanically 

compromised situations frequents in oral 

implantology: namely the extremely reabsorbed 

maxilla. The maximum utilization of residual bone 

volume, the use of a surgical protocol for implant 

placement similar to the classic one, the absence 

of any alveolar reconstruction previous or 

combined with the implant placement and a 

reassuring independence of the complications 

inherent to techniques that require multiple 

interventions and donor sites, is the basic 

rationale for the implementation of these 

procedures.

Institute, University of Zurich ; graduated as 

« Eidg. dipl. Zahnarzt » in 1972. Doctor’s 

degree (Dr. med. dent.) in 1974. Postgraduate 

training in Fixed Prosthodontics and Occlusion 1973-1976. 

Assistant Professor and then, Senior Lecturer at the Department 

of Fixed Prosthodontics and Dental Materials of the University of 

Zurich (chairman : Prof. Dr. Peter Schaerer, M.S.), from 1976 to 

1980. Visiting Assistant Professor (1980-1982) at the Departments 

of Oral Biology (Prof. Dr. A.G. Hannam) and Clinical Dental 

Sciences (Prof. Dr. W. A. Richter), Faculty of Dentistry, University of 

British Columbia (Canada). 1982-1983, Senior Lecturer at the 

Department of Fixed Prosthodontics and Dental Materials in 

Zurich (Prof. Dr. P. Schaerer). Since 1st October 1983, Full Professor 

and Head of the Department of Fixed Prosthodontics and 

Occlusion of the University of Geneva Dental Institute. President 

of the Swiss Association of Prosthetic Dentistry from 1984 to 1988. 

Recipient of the Scientific Research Award of the Greater New 

York Academy of Prosthodontics in 2002, and during 2002/2003 

President of the European Association of Prosthodontics (EPA). 

Research activities in the fields of functional behaviour of the 

muscles of mastication, periodontal prosthesis, dental ceramics, 

adhesive prosthodontics and endosseous implants. 

Prosthetic management of implants in the 

esthetic zone 

Within the esthetic zone, one of the primary 

therapeutic objectives consists in trying to 

optimally integrate any type of implant supported 

restorations in the surrounding dentition, so that 

it can not be readily identified by the untrained 

eye at normal communication distance. In this 

specific context, a meticulous and comprehensive 

preoperative analysis, involving both dental 

technician and clinician is fundamental in order to 

establish the most appropriate treatment plan. 

This presentation will namely focus on the 

continuous interaction between the two partners 

when it comes to single tooth replacement in 

either intact or compromised sites or when it 

comes to the various therapeutic modalities 

related to the prosthetic rehabilitation of 

extended edentulous segments located in areas 

where esthetics is of major concern. Finally, latest 

data on long-term stability of esthetic zone 

implant restorations will be presented.

Technical complications: long-term results 

In order to base treatment planning on economic 

aspects, studies need to be designed that report in 

detail on the type and frequency of clearly 

defined complications and failures. Pure survival 

data in that respect are of limited value. Based on 

a series of recent and ongoing systematic reviews, 

this presentation will focus on the incidents of 

various technical complications observed with

Necessity of bone augmentation to obtain 

optimal results depending on defect site and size 

(localized defects) 

Today, the augmentation of localized bone 

defects is a frequent surgical procedure in implant 

patients. These surgical techniques are carried out 

either to improve the longterm prognosis of 

dental implants or to enhance the esthetic 

treatment outcome in the anterior maxilla. This 

lecture will revue the current status of local bone 

augmentation procedures using barrier 

membranes in combination with autogenous 

bone grafts and bone substitutes. The GBR 

techniques can be applied simultaneously with 

implant placement and in a staged approach. The 

decision criteria, when to use what surgical 

approach will be discussed. The various 

procedures using bioabsorbale membranes will be 

documented with typical case reports.

Esthetics in periodontally compromised cases: 

maintaining teeth or placing implants 

The first question which arises when a 

periodontist is confronted with the treatment of a 

frontal area is how much his therapy is going to 

effect the patient’s phonetics and aesthetics. The 

smile line and not the “slide line” have to 

influence the therapist decisions concerning 

aesthetics while phonetics might be influenced, 

anyhow, if tissue or tooth forms are changed. The 

selection of the correct surgical procedure for 

each anatomical situation of each given patient is 

essential for a good final result. It is also of utmost 

importance the understanding and the ability to 

predict how tissues will heal and react to various 

stimuli like orthodontic forces, changes in 

sub/supragingival spacing, modifications of tooth 

and tissue form. An expert mixture between art 

and science is the final answer to the dilemma of 

the optimal aesthetic result.

He is a fellow of the ITI group and he has served as 

President of the Italian Society of oral Surgery (2002-2004). 

He is the author of 6 textbooks on these topics and 

approximately 50 articles on peer-reviewed international 

journals. 

GBR/augmentation versus distraction 

osteogenesis 

Severe atrophy of edentulous ridges may 

represent a relevant limit for the use of dental 

implants and implant-supported prostheses. Many 

surgical techniques have been proposed over the 

years, but much controversy still exists as far as the 

reliability over the time of these techniques is 

concerned. 

The purpose of this lecture is to compare the 

clinical outcome of GBR, bone grafting techniques 

and distraction osteogenesis to correct deficient 

alveolar ridges in order to place dental implants in 

a correct position from an esthetic and functional 

point of view. Success rates of these techniques as 

well as success and survival rates of implants 

placed in the reconstructed areas will be 

presented.

> Gilberto DEBELIAN 


Dr. Gilberto Debelian has received his 

DMD degree from the University of Sao 

Paulo, Brasil in 1987. He has completed 

his specialization in Endodontics from the 

University of Pennsylvania, School of Dental Medicine, USA in 

1991. He has taught as a clinical instructor and associate 

professor at the postdoctoral endodontic program at the 

University of Oslo, Norway from 1991 to 2001. He has 

concluded his PhD studies at the University of Oslo, Norway in 

1997 on bacteremia and fungemia on patients undergoing 

endodontic therapy which gave him a scientific award from 

the Europen Society of Endodontology and the Norwegian 

Dental Association both in 1997. Dr. Debelian maintains a 

private practice limited to Endodontics in Bekkestua, Norway. 

He has authored 3 chapter books in Endodontics, 1 book 

in Endodontics and written scientific and clinical papers 

on endodontic microbiology. He is currently member of 

the scientific advisory panel for the Journal of 

Endodontics and director of the Oslo Endodontic Study 

Club. Dr. Debelian has lectured nationally and internationally 

on Endodontic Infections, Systemic Diseases Caused 

by Oral Microorganisms, Dental Traumatology and New 

Technological Aids in Endodontics. 

Decision making in endodontics 

Endodontists, periodontists and restorative 

dentists face frequent dilemmas regarding the 

treatment of compromised teeth. Clinicians now 

have a greater ability to salvage debilitated teeth, 

but with the advent and predictability of 

implants, there may be a decreased need to do so. 

In turn, clinical decision-making regarding 

appropriate treatment for the patient is becoming 

increasingly complex, given such viable 

alternatives. This presentation will show the new 

insights and clinical improvements in endodontics. 

Based on these clinical improvements and the 

better understanding of the biology aspects of 

teeth with non-vital pulps and also retreatments, 

endodontic therapy has become more predictable 

with a high expected prognosis. Evidence-based 

endodontics, including scientific literature and 

clinical demonstrations will be used during this 

presentation to support endodontic therapy in 

many compromised teeth.

Main research topics: skeletal anchorage in 

orthodontics, cleft lip and palate, biomechanics. 

Impact of implants on orthodontics 

A new bone anchor was developed to increase 

orthodontic anchorage in the anterior or 

posterior region of the upper and/or lower jaw. A 

3 or 2 holes titanium mini plate is fixed by 

monocortical mini screws. A round bar is 

penetrating the soft tissues at the muco-gingival 

boarder. A cylindrical fixation unit with a locking 

screw makes it possible to fix an auxiliary wire 

that connects the bone anchor with the fixed 

orthodontic appliance. Since 5 years more than 

275 bone anchors were placed in upper and lower 

jaw and used as anchorage in different 

orthodontic applications. 

During the first part of the presentation the 

different steps of the surgery will be explained in 

detail. Which are the possible complications and 

how can we avoid them? Which instructions 

should be given to the patient? What is the best 

timing for surgery and orthodontics? How and 

when should the implants be loaded? In the 

second part of the lecture an overview will be 

given of the different clinical applications 

illustrated by several clinical cases.

Limits of bone substitutes to obtain optimal results 

Recent data indicate that osteoconductive 

properties and biocompatibility characteristics 

support the use of various bone substitutes as a 

scaffold for cells in bone augmentation 

procedures. However, literature search revealed 

no studies comparing degradable and nondegradable 

materials clinically. Animal tests and 

histological observations in humans showed 

recruitment of inflammatory multi-nuclear cells 

within the graft site of rapidly-degrading 

substitutes, e.g.: TCP. Nevertheless, a gain of 

newly-formed bone may reach 30%. Similar trials 

using xenographs – considered as non-degradable 

– showed a mean gain of 45% for newly-formed 

bone. Since deficient edentulous areas are usually 

characterized by lack of bone in all 3 dimensions, 

the question remains, to what extent can we 

achieve reconstruction of the alveolar ridge using 

current bone substitutes.

Marginal tissue remodeling around immediately 

loaded implants 

Treatment strategies and related protocols in 

implant dentistry seem to have dramatically 

changed over the last years. Traditional, staged 

protocols are more and more replaced by faster, 

one-step surgical protocols (i.e. immediate 

implants or even immediately restored/loaded 

implants). With regard to the event of osseointegration, 

a number of studies have documented 

for immediately loaded implants in properly 

selected indications a comparable high success 

rate as established using late loading concepts. 

However, when focusing on the overall treatment 

outcome, success is not only defined by 

established osseointegration. Stable peri-implant 

tissues (i.e. marginal bone levels and soft tissue 

contours) over time are decisive for long-term 

esthetic success. Therefore, this presentation will 

discuss and summarize on marginal tissue 

remodeling related to immediate implant loading 

protocols.

Prof. Christoph Hämmerle’s main scientific interest lies on the 

biological and prosthetic aspects of the treatment with dental 

implants His clinical focus is on the comprehensive treatment of 

complex, partially edentulous patients applying all options available 

in reconstructive dentistry. 

As chairman of the department for fixed and removable prosthodontics 

and dental materials science he supervises several lines of research. 

One of these lines deals with biological aspects of bone and soft tissue 

formation applying membranes, membrane supporting materials as 

well as matrices and bone growth factors. A second line explores the 

biomechanical aspects of early and immediate implant loading. 

Regarding the fabrication of fixed prosthesis on teeth and implants 

modern ceramic materials are being investigated in preclinical and 

clinical studies. Prof. Hämmerle serves on the editorial board of several 

scientific journals including Clinical Oral Implants Research, the 

International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants and the Journal 

of Clinical Periodontology. 

Handling of the extraction socket for optimal 

esthetic outcomes 

Based upon the clinical protocols leading to long-term 

functional rehabilitations using dental implants, further 

developments aiming at expanding the established 

indications have been pursued. One of the treatment 

approaches resulting from these endeavors has been to not 

only functionally but also esthetically reconstruct the 

patient’s lost tissues. One particular challenge is given in the 

handling of extraction sockets. In such situations soft and 

hard tissues need to be reconstructed in a manner, which 

allows adequate manipulation of mucosa and bone to 

account for the increased challenges resulting from the lack 

of congruency between the available hard and soft tissues 

and the dental implant. For the augmentation of lacking 

bone volume, guided bone regeneration (GBR) has been 

proven to be most effective and has widely been used. 

Regarding the management of the soft tissues the clinical 

procedures leading to predictable esthetic results are still in 

a development phase. Several factors such as location of 

the implant, presence or absence of adjacent teeth, height 

and width of the bone crest, mucosal thickness and 

scalloping have been identified as critical for obtaining 

pleasing final outcomes.

BMPs and other growth factors in oral bone 

augmentation 

Further developments in bone augmentation 

procedures can either be related to simplification 

of the clinical handling or influencing biological 

processes. Biological tissue stimulation with to use 

of growth factors or bioactive proteins and 

peptides in combination with adequate carrier 

systems are nowadays able to stimulate the 

natural regeneration process, to accelerate bone 

regeneration and to increase predictability in 

bone regeneration therapy. The use of a newly 

developed synthetic carrier system together with 

a biologic active factor has demonstrated similar 

amounts of newly formed bone in experimental 

defects as the use of autogenous bone. It can be 

concluded that biologic tissue stimulation with 

the use new matrix systems has the potential to 

overcome some of the present difficulties in GBR 

procedures.

The 3D reconstruction of vertical bone defects 

with mandibular bone block grafts: clinical 

aspects and long term results. 

Vertical alveolar defect reconstructed with 

mandibular graft in form of one cortical block 

presents sometime a poor site for osseointegration 

of titanium implants due to a low revascularisation 

potential of the cortical bone. Particuled bone 

graft seems to get better revascularisation giving 

a good quality of regeneration of the augmented 

area. The presented study described the 3 D 

reconstruction of vertical defects based on the 

combination of 2 thin mandibular cortical blocks 

with particuled bone grafts. 209 patients were 

treated with this technique between 1995 and 

2002. The average of vertical bone augmentation 

was 6,8mm. The 389 implants were inserted 4 

months post operatively. 

The long term results are discussed.

Guidelines of implant placement in extraction 

sockets 

Aesthetic failures especially in the front tooth 

area can be caused by inadequate implant 

positioning. Implants should be placed in a 

correct 3-dimensional position. This will allow 

optimal support and stability of peri-implant hard 

and soft tissues. There are existing recommendations 

that in the vertical dimension the implant 

shoulder should be positioned about 1-1,5mm 

apical to the cemental/enamel junction (CEJ) of 

the contra-lateral tooth. 

In the mesial-distal dimension the implant should 

not be closer than 1,5mm to the adjacent root 

surface to avoid resorbtion of the osseous crest 

and thus of interproximal papillary support. 

In the oral facial direction clear recommendations 

how to place the implants in extraction sockets do 

not exist. 

To get the optimal position of the implant in the 

buccal/palatinal dimension we compared the 

aesthetic outcome by means of a pink aesthetic 

score with the position of the implant on sagittal 

cuts of master casts.

Impact of implants on the orthodontic possibilities 

The limitations of orthodontic treatments have traditionally 

been set by the laws of Newton. The 

application of skeletal anchorage, the mini-implants 

has, however, made it possible to avoid undesirable 

forces generated to the reactive units. Displacement 

of all teeth in one direction is in theory possible. 

Even more interesting is that the mini-implants can 

be used as anchorage for displacements of teeth 

into edentulous areas and thereby building up an 

atrophic alveolar process preparing the ground for 

implant-based reconstructions. The application of 

implants in the treatment of the impossible case will 

be demonstrated and the tissue reaction generated 

adjacent to both prosthodontic and orthodontic 

implants will be discussed.

Terminology and guidelines for immediate 

occlusal loading of implants: an innovative 

approach for the management of mid facial 

esthetics 

Successful implant placement within the aesthetic 

zone requires long-term implant survival with 

proper restoration of form and function. 

Additionally, the implant must be surrounded by a 

soft tissue envelope that mimics that which is 

found around the adjacent natural teeth. 

While it is well understood that the interproximal 

papillary area generally remains unchanged or 

improves over time, (Jemt, 2000) the mid-facial 

generally recedes over time creating a mid facial 

soft tissue deficit. (Grunder, 2001) 

A novel approach to the management of this midfacial 

aesthetic issue involves platform switching. 

The biological rational and clinical approach will 

be discussed.

Decision making in periodontally compromised teeth 

Clinical trials have repeatedly demonstrated that 

it is possible to treat teeth with advanced 

periodontal disease and to maintain them over 

prolonged periods of time. Adequate periodontal 

therapy reduces periodontal pockets, stabilizes 

attachment levels and has the potential for 

regenerating the periodontium, including the 

alveolar bone. Tobacco smoking, genetically 

determined hyper-reactive inflammatory response 

patterns, certain systemic diseases, as well as poor 

oral hygiene and lack of professional maintenance 

after therapy affect the outcome and the longterm 

stability. However, if a decision is made not 

to keep periodontally involved teeth due to the 

presence of such risks, the same factors will also 

have a negative effect on the success of implants 

replacing the extracted teeth. Additional, tooth 

specific factors play a role for the success of 

periodontal treatment. For the decision to extract 

or maintain a tooth, its strategic value in the 

dental arch needs to be considered. Since the risk 

for failure of periodontal treatment is substantially 

lower than the risk for a technical complication 

of a prosthodontic reconstruction, the 

maintenance of uninterrupted arches of natural 

teeth has high priority. Furthermore, extractions 

should be avoided to preserve jawbone. Although 

uncontrolled periodontal disease results in loss of 

bone, properly performed therapy of periodontal 

disease maintains, and even regenerates bone.

Experimental background of immediate loading 

Aim: Only little experimental data is available on 

immediate loading of dental implants in animals 

with a bone formation rate comparable to that of 

humans. Therefore, it has been the aim to 

compare the performance of immediately loaded 

implants in the maxillae of minipigs to implants 

loaded on delay. 

Materials and methods: 6 implants were placed on 

each side of the maxilla. The implants were 

restored with fixed provisional restorations and 

loaded either immediately or after healing 

periods of 1-3 months or 4-5 months. After a 

loading period of six months the animals were 

sacrificed and the implants were retrieved 

together with the adjacent bone. Histologic 

specimens were prepared and bone-to-implant 

contact (BIC) ratio, interthread bone area and 

peri-implant bone area were determined. 

Results: Neither BIC, interthread bone area or 

peri-implant bone area did not differ significantly 

statistically for the three healing periods. 

Conclusion: After six months of functional 

loading in the maxillae of minipigs, successful 

immediately loaded implants performed the 

same as implants subjected to an unloaded 

healing period prior to providing a suprastructure 

as far as histomorphometric data were 

concerned. The favorable histomorphometric 

results of the successful immediately loaded 

implants encourage extending the indication for 

immediate loading of dental implants in humans.

Professor M. Quirynen graduated in 

1980 as dentist at the Catholic 

University of Leuven and finished in 

1984 his training as periodontologist 

at the department of Periodontology (Catholic 

University Leuven). In 1986 he presented his Ph. D. 

entitled: Anatomical and inflammatory factors 

influence bacterial plaque growth and retention in 

man. In 1990 he was appointed professor at the 

Faculty of medicine of the Catholic University of 

Leuven to teach periodontology and anatomy. His 

research deals mainly with oral microbiology, with 

special attention to the influence of surface characteristics 

on bacterial adhesion and the effect of 

antiseptics. He published over 150 full papers in international 

peer-reviewed journals. He is member of the 

editorial board of the Journal of Clinical 

Periodontology (associate editor), Clinical Oral 

implants Research, Periodontal Practice Today and 

Parodontologie. 

Implants next to periodontally compromised teeth 

The presence of gingivitis/periodontitis increases the 

risk for non-integration (early failures), via direct or 

indirect contamination of the implant surface. 

Moreover, periodontitis has been linked to late 

implant failures, and therefore periodontal health 

before implant surgery is a condition sine qua none. 

A series of recent publications supports following 

statements: 

1. periopathogens are considered the causative 

organisms for peri-implantitis, 

2. teeth, and especially the periodontal pocket, serves 

as the primary reservoir of these periopathogens, 

3. two weeks after implant insertion the peri-implant 

pocket is colonized by a microbiota similar to that 

found around the neighboring teeth. 

Based on these statements it seems reasonable to 

conclude that implants are at higher risk to develop periimplantitis 

when inserted next to periodontally 

compromised teeth. The latter conclusion is indeed 

supported by several studies in which the outcome of 

oral implants in partially edentulous patients has been 

compared between subjects with a healthy 

periodontium and those with a history of periodontitis. 

Recently however, several long-term clinical trials clearly 

indicated that even patients with a history of severe periodontitis 

can be successfully treated with partial bridges 

on implants, at least in the presence of a proper plaque 

control, stringent supportive periodontal therapy and 

proper surface characteristics. The microbial threshold 

before development of peri-implantitis does not only 

depends on the periodontal health, but seems largely 

influenced by the surface characteristics of the 

transmucosal/endosteal part of the implant.

Stefan Renvert received his D.D.S. degree 

from the University of Lund, Sweden, in 1975. 

In 1979 he spent one year as visiting professor 

at Loma Linda University in California, USA. 

He then completed graduate training in 

Periodontology at the Dental School in Malmö University of Lund, 

Sweden with a certificate in Periodontology 1981 and the Odont.Dr. 

(Ph.D) degree in 1984. Since 1984 he has been Director for the 

Dental Hygienist training program in Kristianstad, Sweden. In 1999 

he became Professor of Oral Health Sciences and Director Oral 

Health Research at Kristianstad University, Sweden. Dr. Renvert is 

past chairman of the EFP and scientific advisor for Europerio 5 in 

Madrid 2005. 

Dr. Renvert has conducted research in periodontics since 1975. 

His primary interests have focused on outcome assessments of 

different treatment modalities such as healing of intraosseous 

defects and diagnosis of periodontal diseases. His collaborative 

research efforts over the last years have resulted in publications on 

periodontal microbiology, guided bone regeneration around 

implants, peri-implantitis and the association between periodontitis 

and cardiovascular diseases. Dr. Renvert has published around 100 

papers in international and national journals. 

At present Dr. Renvert´s research focuses on peri-implantitis, risk 

assessments and the association of periodontal disease to the 

general health, especially periodontitis and its association to 

cardiovascular disease. 

Pathogenesis of implant failure 

Although treatments with dental implants have 

been proven effective, infections leading to loss of 

bone (peri-implantitis) do occur. In patients 

supplied with implants 9-14 years ago, 16 % of the 

patients and 7% of the implants were found to 

have peri-implantitis (i.e. bone loss ≥ 3 threads 

compared to one year data and bleeding on 

probing). Factors of importance for periimplantitis 

were smoking habits and previous 

experience of periodontitis. The importance of 

the microflora and gene polymorphism in the 

pathogenesis of peri-implantitis will be discussed.

Update on biotechnological bone augmentation 

Osteoinduction through biotechnological bone 

regeneration requires bone forming cells or their 

precursors, a scaffold for the cells to attach, and growth 

and differentiation factors. Current concepts use either in 

vitro cultivated cells (classical tissue engineering 

approach) or the topical application of Bone 

Morphogenetic Proteins (BMP) which act chemotactic 

and stimulative on cells resident in the tissues in the 

defect walls (in vivo tissue engineering). Although 

promising preclinical data exist, with both concepts a 

breakthrough has not been achieved yet in clinical 

augmentative bone surgery in dental implantology. 

Biological and regulatory issues may be reasons for that 

and are discussed in this presentation. 

The in vitro tissue engineering approach involves the 

mass transfer of cultivated bone cells into a non 

vascularized defect. The supply of these cells with oxygen 

and nutrients has not been solved yet. In large bone 

defects there may be a cell necrosis before capillaries 

have grown into the defect. 

The in vivo tissue engineering involves the topical 

application of recombinant BMP. Two maior problems 

have occurred so far: in human clinical application the 

required dose of BMP was several orders of magnitude 

higher than required in cells cultures or embryological 

experiments. Secondly, a greater effect of BMP has been 

observed in animal experiments than observed in 

humans. New carrier systems with slow and controlled 

release may solve this problem. However, there are other 

biological issues like antagonistic molecules to BMP and 

receptor kinetics. This has to be addressed in further 

research. Recombinant BMP have been applied 

successfully in several 10000 patients in orthopaedic 

surgery worldwide and a huge body of promising 

preclinical data suggests a strong potential for BMP´s in 

dental bone augmentation surgery.

General and genetic aspects of implant failure 

Implant failures tend to cluster within the same subject and 

in specific subjects within a population. This is strong 

evidence that subject based risk factors or attributes may be 

important in increasing the susceptibility to periimplantitis 

and eventually implant failures. This presentation will 

critically assess the current knowledge and the possible 

mechanisms at the basis of the increased susceptibility to 

implant loss. .Much has been said about the effect of environmental 

exposures such as cigarette smoking on implant 

failures. Other aspects, however, have received less attention. 

Few studies have tentatively associated the carriage of 

specific gene polymorphisms with the development of periimplant 

bone loss. The presentation will also assess whether 

or not susceptibility to implant failure is associated with susceptibility 

to periodontitis. In spite of the incomplete 

evidence, understanding of the mechanisms and knowledge 

of the possible models is relevant in diagnosis and treatment 

planning of patients who may benefit from implant therapy.

Revisiting extraction/implantation: a biological 

approach 

Extraction/implantation is now a routine procedure. 

Literature has shown through various long-term 

studies that the success rate is similar to 

conventional implantation. 

The benefit in the esthetic zone includes the 

reduction of crestal bone loss and the 

conservation of the soft tissue morphology. 

Yet a biological approach can optimize the clinical 

results through the new design and surface of the 

implant head, the immediate connection of the 

definitive biocompatible abutment, and the 

concave transmucosal design of the latter. 

A protocol will be presented where the implant 

abutment is prepared prior to the 

extraction/implantation, scanned to anticipate the 

coping fabrication and whenever possible never 

disconnected.

The use of virtual reality derived from CT scan images 

for preoperative planning of implant surgery 

There are a number of constraints when performing surgery, 

especially in the oral environment: limited space, local 

anesthesia, limited surgical field, contaminated 

environment… It is not easy to transfer this planning to the 

operative field in precise manner because of these 

constraints, such as a moving patient. The surgeon also has to 

take quick decisions when he uncovers the jaw bone. 

Therefore since the mid-nineties a preoperative planning 

system was developed for oral implant placement at the 

Catholic University of Leuven. It is based on a software 

imaging of the CT scan data. It is fully three-dimensional 

which offers a unique visualization of the three planes in the 

same image. This should be distinguished from three 

individual views, even if the three can be placed side by side. 

Furthermore this planning can be meticulously transferred to 

the operative field by means of drilling templates either 

placed on the jaw bone or on top of the gingival. In the latter 

case a flapless surgery is aimed for. Ex vivo and in vivo 

assessments have shown the precise results obtained. This 

allows, if needed to prefabricate the fixed prosthesis which 

can then be fixed at once on top of the implants. 

This concept can as well be used for a delayed loading. It 

further develops the cooperation between the periodontologist 

or oral surgeon and the restorative dentist since transfer 

of images can be done by Internet. 

Today the use of drilling templates is a pragmatic solution. 

With further technological breakthroughs navigation or even 

robotics can be envisaged.

Site development in the esthetic zone: 

immediate implant placement 

Creating esthetic implant restorations in harmony 

with the gingival contour will demand a comprehensive 

understanding of the biological and physiological 

limitation of the soft and hard tissue of 

the implant site. The risk for failures and the 

potential to overstretch the limitations are 

increased when implants are placed immediately 

in extraction sockets in the esthetic zone. 

Therefore a precise analysis of the hard and soft 

tissue component of the implant site before 

removing the failing tooth is essential to predict 

the esthetic outcome as well as to choose the 

appropriate treatment strategy. The predictability 

of the peri-implant esthetic result is ultimately 

determined by the patient’s particular anatomical 

situation, rather than the clinician’s ability to 

manage the different site development 

procedures. The presentation will place emphasis 

on the diagnosis and treatment planning, the 

surgical and prosthetic management focused on 

immediately placed implants.

Surgical complications 

As with any other field of surgery complications, 

can never be completely excluded for any 

implant-surgical procedure. The basic prerequisites 

for optimizing surgical success and thus 

minimizing the risk of complications include 

adequate anatomical knowledge, perfect 

planning and optimal skills of the surgeon. 

Structures especially prone to be associated with 

complications in oral implantology include the 

dentoalveolar complex with regard to function 

and aesthetics, the integrity of the nasal chambers 

and sinuses, blood vessels in the neighbouring 

soft tissue as well as sensitive nerves in the surgical 

field. The experience of a skilled implantologist 

will allow him/her to identify any risks of injury of 

the mentioned structures, to provide the patient 

with appropriate preoperative information and to 

implement the appropriate corrective actions in 

the case of a complication.

Implantology as an inevitable therapy in 

prosthodontics - when, where and how? 

The very basic wish to replace teeth was the source and 

thrust for developing and establishing implantology in 

everyday restorative dentistry. Very soon, it became 

obvious that we are not only replacing teeth by use of 

implants, but that we contribute to preventive aspects 

as well. The maintenance of the alveolar bone, the 

reduced loading of remaining teeth, which is especially 

caused by removable prosthodontics, are only two 

examples. Furthermore, there are clinical situations as 

diastemas, extremely reduced dentitions, severely 

atrophied jaws, which can only be treated by use of 

modern implantology. In general, dental implantology 

has exceeded the dates of being a therapy of comfort 

and luxury by far. The lecture will show typical clinical 

situations, in which only dental implantology could 

help to achieve an at least acceptable clinical result 

with regard to the restorative aspect.

The changing face in implant prosthodontics-esthetics 

and functional rationals 

Extensive laboratory and clinical research on implant 

materials and design, surgical procedures, biomechanics, 

surrounding bone tissue, and other aspects have led to new 

treatment concepts and approaches. Implant-supported 

single- and multiple-tooth restorations have proven to be 

predictable and long-term successful treatment options. The 

success rates of implant-supported restorations are 

surpassing most conventional prosthetic restorations. 

In the early years of implant dentistry, research mainly 

focused on hard tissue integration. However, the goal in 

modern implant therapy is not limited to the successful 

osseointegration of implants. Especially in the anterior 

areas, esthetically pleasing implant-supported restorations 

surrounded by harmonious soft and hard tissues have become 

a focal point for patients, clinicians, and dental technicians. 

Some of the most challenging clinical situations are 

defined by extensive loss of hard and soft tissues. In many 

cases the missing tissues must be replaced with tissuecolored 

resin or porcelain as a non-surgical option. 

Depending on the patient’s expectations the replacement 

of teeth, and hard- and soft tissues can be realized with 

fixed or removable implant retained superstructures. From 

a prosthetic perspective a removable implant supported 

restoration offers the best functional and esthetic options 

without compromising hygiene maintenance and longevity. 

While staging of implant therapy is a highly predictable 

option, extraction of remaining teeth and roots, 

simultaneous or delayed implant placement, and 

immediate provisionalisation are protocols that are 

increasingly performed with success. 

To achieve optimal function and esthetics comprehensive 

treatment planning is a requirement. Detailed wax-ups 

and well-designed, precisely fabricated final restorations 

are paramount for restoration longevity and patient 

satisfaction.

> Information on the Association 

■ History 

The EAO was founded in Munich in 1991 following on 

the recommendations made by an international group 

of clinicians and research workers. It was formed as an 

international, interdisciplinary and independent 

science based forum for all professionals interested in 

the art and science of osseointegration. 

■ Mission 

The objectives of the Association are: 

1. To promote and facilitate clinical applications of 

osseointegration for the benefit of patients 

throughout the world. 

2. To promote the advancement of methods of 

treatment in reconstructive surgery and prosthetic 

rehabilitation based on the principles of osseointegration 

and related disciplines. 

3. To promote and initiate research into improved 

clinical procedures for rehabilitation as a 

consequence of osseointegration. 

4. To promote international exchange of knowledge 

and understanding of the techniques and research in 

the field of osseointegration and related disciplines. 

5. To promote the publication of research findings and 

other materials as part of continuing education for 

the benefit of members and interested organisations.
