MORNING
ASTRA TECH
A Good Morning with Astra Tech
Dental
The theme for A Good Morning with Astra
Tech Dental is “Creating the future by going
back to the roots”, which also was the
theme for our very successful third world
congress, held in Gothenburg in May this
year. Without history there is no future and
sometimes it is important to look back,
understand and learn from the past, in
order to embrace the future.
Over the years the Astra Tech Implant
System innovations have been many, the
groundbreaking ones are comprised in the
well-known BioManagement Complex.
With Atlantis patient-specifi c CAD/CAM
abutments we have continued to follow our
own path, providing advanced solutions
with human biology and the patient’s wellbeing
in mind. This is illustrated in the
Atlantis BioDesign Matrix. These two
concepts show our holistic approach to
implant dentistry – function, beauty and
biology in perfect harmony. The respect for
biology and patient safety has always been
the driving force behind our strong focus
on science, documentation and long-term
clinical follow-up.
The speakers this morning will cover
different aspects of the theme moderated
by Dr Michael Norton, UK:
Professor Jan Lindhe, Sweden
Marginal bone loss and peri-implantitis
among dental implant patients
Dr Ingeborg De Kok, USA
Customized abutments for highly esthetic
demands
Professor Clark Stanford, USA
In a drive to perfection, the ongoing
evolution of the Astra Tech Implant
System
You are very welcome to meet the future
in our Inspirational Center where you will
fi nd old and new friends from Astra Tech
Dental and DENTSPLY Friadent joined in
the new powerhouse of implant dentistry
– DENTSPLY Implants.

MORNING
DENTSPLY FRIADENT
Update on Tissue Care:
Renowned specialists sharing
learnings and new fi ndings from
science and practice
Check in to an exciting journey spanning
the world of microorganisms to real
clinical evidence. Update your knowledge
on the successful maintenance of stable
peri-implant hard and soft tissues over
time and discuss your questions with our
board of independent researchers and
experienced clinicians.
� Annette Moter:
Tissue Care in microbiology: Biofi lms in the
oral cavity and on implant surfaces
Fascinating insights on the microbiological
processes of biofi lms in the oral cavity and
on different implant surfaces, documented
with unique picture material. Get inspired
by exploring this microcosm which has such
a vital infl uence on tissue health.
� Karl Andreas Schlegel:
Tissue Care in basic research: Implant
surfaces and new bone formation
From the oral cavity to the bone, Andreas
Schlegel will share and discuss new study
results on the impact of implant surfaces
on osseointegration and thus for the longterm
success of dental implants.
� Theo Koutouzis:
Tissue Care in pre-clinical and clinical
trials: The implant-abutment interface
On the way from science to practice, we
will take a look at the relevance of a conical
interface for avoiding micromovement or
bacterial contamination. Evidence will be
presented for the effectiveness of this
connection in terms of long-term tissue
preservation.
� Nigel Saynor:
Tissue Care in daily practice: Compelling
esthetics on the long term
Let’s get clinical. Nigel Saynor, renowned
Tissue Care specialist with over ten years
of experience, will present superior esthetic
results and discuss clinical aspects and
evidence for enduring tissue stability.

AFTERNOON
NOBEL BIOCARE
Celebrate with us!
60 years since the discovery of
Osseointegration.
30 years since the landmark
Toronto conference
Professor P-I Brånemark discovered
osseointegration 60 years ago. Since then,
millions of patients around the world have
successfully received implants. By applying
Professor Brånemark´s protocol these
patients have received function, health and
esthetics with an improving quality of life.
This year’s forum title is “Designing for
life – long-term and patient-oriented
treatment approaches remain the key to
success”.
As we are reviewing the experience of more
than 5 decades of implant treatments, the
focus of the forum is on what we have
learned, how to treat patients predictably
and how to improve patients’ lives with the
perspective of lifelong service.
A group of world-renowned leading
experts will present, discuss and share
its professional lifetime experience in this
interactive forum. As part of the audience
you have the opportunity to interact with
these experts in order to get a maximum
of learning experience, to shorten your
own learning curve and to best serve your
patients.
It will be an exciting experience for all
of us – so please join us at the Nobel
Biocare Industry Forum under the lead of
moderator Dr Roland Glauser.
Speakers: Dr Bertil Friberg, Dr Ruben
Davó, Dr Egon Euwe, Dr Peter Moy,
Mr Patrick Rutten and Dr Werner
Zechner
