Synopsis 

Dear Colleagues. 

The 20 - Year 

Anniversary meeting. 


It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 20 - Year Anniversary 

Meeting of the EAO in Copenhagen. 

Being the 20 - Year Anniversary Meeting of the EAO, this meeting 

is special and provides us with an opportunity to look both at 

the past as well as into the future. This is why the theme of the 

meeting is “20 years. What have we learned?” 

The programme contains a variety of pre-congress courses and 

sessions all focusing on topics highly relevant for clinicians working 

in the fi eld of implant dentistry. Short oral presentations, research 

competitions, and posters will also update us on the most recent 

research achievements relevant for implant therapy. Interactive 

sessions are also included. 

A large trade exhibition as well as a range of satellite industry 

symposia have also been included in the programme. 

We will celebrate the EAO’s 20 th anniversary with an extended 

reception on Wednesday for all attendees. There will also be an 

anniversary dinner on Thursday for the EAO members. 

In addition, Copenhagen has many attractions to suit all tastes and 

interests, many within walking distance of the down-town hotels. 

These include the 100-year old amusement park Tivoli, the Little 

Mermaid, Amalienborg Royal Palace, the free town of Christiania, 

guided canal tours on the harbour, Nyhavn, and the shopping 

street Strøget. 

In addition to sightseeing, Copenhagen boasts an impressive 

range of museums and theatres. Particularly recommended are 

the Royal Danish Ballet, the Royal Danish Opera, the Ny Carlsberg 

Glyptotek, and the National Gallery. 

On behalf of the EAO, I would like to extend a warm welcome to 

everyone who has joined us in Copenhagen this year.

ISBN: 978-1-85097-225- 9 

£ 108 / € 128 

Implant Therapy: 

Integrated Treatment 

Planning 

Mauro Merli 

The current emphasis on patientcentred 

medicine necessitates 

revision of the diagnostic and 

therapeutic process toward an 

integrated treatment plan that 

promotes collaboration among 

the specialties as well as the 

patient’s active participation. This 

text describes how to implement 

such a treatment plan for patients 

requiring implant treatment 

in an area of esthetic and/or 

functional interest. It begins by 

assessing the potential risk factors, 

then delves into the process 

of constructing a diagnosis, and 

then describes stepwise many of 

the surgical procedures currently 

in use.

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.

Dr. Gerald Niznick 

«Simply Smarter» Implantology 

Technological advances and recent economic 

factors have shifted the implant industry toward 

affordable care. This lecture will explores the 

evolution of implant designs, separating fact 

from fi ction, and will mark the launch of a new 

InterActive generation of implants with All-in-1 

Packaging that provides the accuracy of an open 

tray transfer with the simplicity of a closed tray 

transfer. Other treatment options to be discussed 

using slides, 3-D graphics and surgical videos 

include immediate replacement of a single lower 

molar to a variety of affordable treatment options 

for edentulous patients with application-specifi c, 

1-piece implants. 

Learning Objectives: 

• Utilizing the latest innovations to meet patients’ 

fi nancial needs without compromising clinical 

success 

• Minimizing bone grafting in compromised 

implant sites 

• Mastering treatment of the fully edentulous 

arch 

Dr. Pedro Peña 

«Graftless treatment of the edentulous maxilla 

with guided surgery and immediate loading 

protocols» 

Treating the edentulous maxilla is a challenge in 

implant dentistry. After multiple extractions an 

years of denture wearing the amount of bone 

atrophy can be a disaster and really jeopardize 

implant treatment. 

3D imaging and planing software can help us in 

the achievement of the better treatment for our 

patients. 

Immediate loading protocols and clinical cases 

will be showed during this lecture as well as long 

term results using Replant implants together with 

a virtual planning software. 

Dr. Gary O’Brien: 

Stock Abutment Use from Single Tooth to Full 

Mouth Reconstruction 

Implant Prosthetics has become a signifi cant part 

of conventional dentistry because of simplifi ed 

surgical procedures and versatile prosthetic 

applications. This started 30 years ago with the 

introduction by Dr. Gerald Niznick of the Core-Vent 

System and advanced with his development of the 

internal connection and fi xture-mount packaging 

by the late 1980’s Implant Direct has advanced 

these concepts with All-in-1 packaging, providing 

the abutment, transfer, cover screw and healing 

collar at one low price has made implant dentistry 

a clinical reality. This lecture will look at a wide 

range of clinical applications from immediate 

insertion in molar extraction sockets to the full 

mouth reconstruction using the components 

provided with the Legacy III dental implant. 

This is predictably accomplished using CBCT 

technology to assure that the implants are placed 

in the position that allows the use of the modifi ed 

fi xture-mount as the abutment or selection from a 

variety of stock titanium and Zirconia abutments.

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 their 

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,

Implants for Life – Key 

success factors for implant 

treatment 

Evidence-based success has resulted 

in increasing utilization of dental 

implants in the treatment of all forms 

of edentulism. This success has led to 

higher patient expectations in having 

durable, natural looking and longer lasting 

implant restorations. With this, we are 

also faced with continual advances in 

techniques, materials and technology that 

promise to provide improved long-term 

clinical outcomes. The following three 

presentations will highlight these factors 

through sharing evidence-based support 

and clinical examples with the audience.

BIOMET 3i 

Presents An Exciting 

Implantology Experience 

in 3D 

Please join our expert panel to discuss 

current clinical issues and to gain insights 

into the 3i T3 * Implant expected to be 

launched at the BIOMET 3i European 

Symposium on January 11-12, 2013 

in Madrid, Spain. This contemporary 

hybrid implant has a rougher surface for 

optimizing osseointegration along the 

length of the implant body while still having 

the proven dual acid-etched OSSEOTITE ® 

surface at the coronal part of the implant 

for mitigating the risk of peri-implantitis. 

With integrated platform switching, 

this implant is designed for sustaining 

aesthetics. 

• During the session, Prof. Tiziano Testori 

will display surgeries in 3D revealing 

clinical applications and advantages of the 

new 3i T3 Implant. 

• The lecture will be followed by Prof. 

Alberto Sicilia who will illustrate the 

advantages and limitations of immediate 

implant placement. 

• The session will be closed by Prof.

GEISTLICH BIOMATERIALS 

Ridge Preservation or Ridge 

Augmentation? 

Decision Tree for Ridge Preservation 

Prof. Dr. Mariano Sanz, Spain 

It is well established that tooth extraction 

will result in an apico-coronal as well as 

bucco-lingual reduction of the alveolar 

ridge, mostly in the buccal aspects of 

the extraction site. In order to avoid this 

physiological bone loss clinicians have 

advocated different therapeutic concepts. 

This presentation will review both the 

experimental and scientifi c evidence, as 

well as the results from recent systematic 

reviews evaluating the clinical evidence on 

the effi cacy of these treatment protocols. 

Finally some clinical recommendations 

on the use of these therapeutic concepts 

will be provided supported by clinical 

documentation on the use of biomaterials 

with the different surgical approaches. 

New Perspectives on Ridge Augmentation 

Dr. Istvan Urban, Hungary 

A newly developed, scientifi cally 

documented approach of horizontal GBR 

will be presented. This technique, also 

called “sausage technique” utilizes a 

native, resorbable collagen membrane to 

completely immobilize a particulated bone 

graft and thus protect the augmentation 

site for the initial weeks of maturation. This 

procedure lessens the need of autogenous 

bone and leads to decreased patient 

morbidity. 

An implementation of this technique into 

an exciting, new treatment modality for 

edentulous atrophic maxillary ridges will 

follow, including some long-time (7 years) 

follow-up results.

Membran – free techniques 

for periimplant augmentation 

and socket preservation 

Two Lectures 

a) Periimplant hard tissue microstructures after in 

situ hardening bone substitute grafting 

- A 3D – Evaluation by Synchrotron µCT scan – 

Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Else Maria Pinholt, Copenhagen 

Professor at the university of Copenhagen and 

head of the department for oral and maxillofacial 

surgery at the University of Copenhagen. 

Description: A novel goat experimental model 

simulating the extremely atrophic alveolar ridge 

served for reconstruction purposes. Dental 

Implants (Astra Tech Osseospeed) were inserted 

into critical size defects which were reconstructed 

using in situ hardening biphasic bone substitutes 

(Easygraft, Easy-Graft Crystal). Healing of the 

critical size defects were compared to autogenous 

bone and empty defects, histologically and by 

synchrotron micro CT-scanning. 

Methods for evaluation using synchrotronradiation 

micro CT-scanning will be discussed. 

b) Techniques for minimal-invasive augmentation in 

cases of periodontitis or peri-implantitis in the front 

Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Walter Lückerath, Bonn 

Professor at the clinic for prostodonthics, 

Department of aesthetic and reconstructive 

dentistry, University hospital Bonn 

Description: Augmentation concepts for vertical 

and horizontal bone – and soft tissue defects 

as preparation for implantation or aesthetically 

demanding fi xed dentures, especially with regard 

to indication and real operational procedures, are 

still being discussed controversially. 

Methods used include GBR using multilayer 

membrane technique, autologous block – and 

trepan- gained bone transplants as well as BMP 

in combination with titanium fi lms. Increasingly, 

innovative and often minimal invasive therapies 

are chosen, which allow to work with membranefree 

and regenerative concepts. 

Only these biologically optimized techniques, 

such as using fl ap-less operative approaches, 

have the advantage to preserve the textures and 

morphology of the vestibular mucosa. The higher 

the expectations in view of a perfect aesthetical 

result are, the more important the avoidance of 

invasive fl ap techniques in surgery is. 

For both, periodontal defects as well as for 

bone loss around implants due to infl ammatory 

processes, which may lead up to the loss of the 

implant, a further progress of the defect may be 

prevented. Furthermore, a signifi cant volume gain 

of the hard – and soft-tissue-level in the defect 

may be achieved. 

With the help of membrane-free techniques, 

further minimal-invasive prosthetic reconstruction 

therapies may be created, which will allow for a 

more targeted treatment of highly demanding 

rehabilitation cases.

NANO BRIDGING MOLECULES 

NBMolecules ® welcomes you with a cup of Swiss hot chocolate 

to discuss 

Fundamental Implant Surface Properties for 

Optimization of Osseointegration 

SurfLink ® Dental surface treatment allows faster and better 

integration of implants with vital bone, mainly due to its biomimicking 

surface properties. Applicable to most metal and 

ceramic surfaces (e.g. Titanium and Zirconia) SurfLink ® Dental has 

been proven to signifi cantly speed up osseointegration and improve 

newly-formed bone quality on machined and roughened implant 

surfaces. This will potentially improve clinical performance and 

reduce risk of peri-implantitis. 

An introduction will be given by prof. Sven Lindskog, Sweden, on 

biological implications of implant surface properties. 

The fi rst results from a pilot quadruple blinded randomised 

controlled trial of split-mouth design evaluating safety and 

effi cacy of SurfLink ® Dental treated implants will be revealed and 

commented on by prof. Marco Esposito, Italy. 

Prospective case series with SurfLink ® Dental treated implants 

will be presented by Dr. Markus Schlee, Germany, and Dr. Joannis 

Katsoulis, Switzerland. 

The symposium will be followed by an open discussion.

OSSTELL 

20 Years with Osstell 

From the fi rst human trial to a global 

standard 

20 years ago two scientists shared the frustration of not being 

able to monitor osseointegration in an accurate, objective and 

consistent way – beyond their own dexterity and tactile skills. The 

concept of Resonance Frequency Analysis was developed. 

The technique has since then been documented in 500 scientifi c 

publications and adopted by > 8 000 clinicians worldwide – 

becoming a global standard in implant treatment. 

All Osstell employees are personally committed to the worldwide 

adoption of our unique diagnostics technique and to the success 

of our company. To succeed, we make sure our customers get the 

unrelenting support and service they deserve. 

MODERATOR: Prof. Klaus Gotfredsen, Denmark 

SPEAKERS: 

Prof. Lars Sennerby, Sweden 

The Story So Far – From the First Experimental Equipment to the 

Most Recent Technique and Findings 

Dr. Leonardo Vanden Bogaerde, Italy 

Resonance Frequency Analysis as a Diagnostic and Prognostic Aid 

in Immediate Function: 12 Years of Clinical Experience 

Prof. Peter Moy, USA 

Establishing Predictable Surgical and Restorative Protocols 

through Long-term (8 years) Tracking of ISQ Data 

The main advantages of Osstell 

Manage implants at risk 

Monitoring osseointegration is especially valuable when treating 

patients with risk factors. Osstell gives you an early warning if 

the biological process is not progressing as expected. It helps you 

avoid costs due to premature loading and allows you to treat more 

patients with risk factors in a more predictable manner. 

Reduce treatment time 

If the initial mechanical stability is high enough, a one-stage 

approach is often used together with immediate or early loading. 

By measuring stability with Osstell before fi nal restoration, and 

comparing the value to the baseline value taken during placement, 

you gain a better basis for deciding whether to proceed. 

Come celebrate 20 years with us! 

Kick-start your morning with the latest in science, a glass of pink 

champagne, and the local specialty – Danish pastry.

It will review techniques for optimizing CBCT images as viewed following acquisition, and demonstrate the common image-manipulation tools 

available in most manufacturer-specifi c CBCT software. It will highlight potential pitfalls when manipulating sectional imaging. 

The interpretation of dental CBCT imaging begins with recognition of normal anatomy. This lecture attempts to develop a good basis to 

understanding of how normal structures appear in a 3 dimensional image and how they relate to each other in all dimensions. The important 

anatomical structures within and immediately surrounding the dento-alveolar region will be explored and illustrated in CBCT imaging.

ABSTRACT: 

PUTTING THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE: THE ROLE OF CBCT IN 

IMPLANT DENTISTRY 

CBCT is the best that has happened to dentistry in general since 

the introduction of the intraoral radiographic technique more 

than 100 years ago and the best that has happened to implant 

dentistry since the development of multimodality techniques in 

the late 1980:s. The latter techniques revolutionized the way 

implant planning could be performed. Today CBCT has surpassed 

both motion tomography and computed tomography in its ability 

to provide high quality images for dental implant planning 

at reasonably low doses. It must, however, be borne in mind 

that CBCT is a generic term for a vast variety of machines with 

different properties. When justifi ed, any radiographic technique 

must be optimized relative to the task it is used for. When 

using CBCT for implant planning, limitation of the volume being 

exposed and the use of low tube currents are some examples of 

dose limiting factors. Due to the possibilities of evaluating bony 

structures situated on buccal or palatal sides of implants CBCT 

can occasionally play a role post-surgically should complications 

occur. Future developments in detector technology likely will 

make radiation doses from CBCT examinations to become lower.

ABSTRACT: 

DOSE, RISK, OPTIMISATION AND JUSTIFICATION WITH CBCT 

CBCT is a major advance in imaging for dentists. It is important, 

however, to remember that x-ray exposure carries a risk and 

that CBCT typically has higher radiation doses and risks than 

traditional dental radiography. Two fundamental aspects of 

radiation protection are optimisation (keeping the dose as low as 

reasonably achievable) and justifi cation (that exposures should 

be shown to produce a net benefi t). The need to pay attention to 

these is enshrined in international, European and national law. 

In this lecture, the nature and scale of the doses and risks will 

be presented. Radiation doses associated with CBCT are highly 

variable, varying from machine to machine and according to 

the mode of operation. Key aspects of reducing the dose to the 

patient will be considered, including individualised adjustment of 

exposure factors (tube current and exposure time) and the fi eld 

of view, along with quality assurance procedures. A strategy 

for optimisation will be presented. Reducing dose to staff will 

also be briefl y discussed. In terms of justifi cation, the concept 

of referral (selection) criteria will be explained. Referral 

criteria for use of CBCT in implant dentistry will be presented, in 

particular the 2012 EAO guidelines.

ABSTRACT: 

HOW DOES CBCT WORK? 

During the last decade, there has been an upward trend in using 

3D information as an aid in dentomaxillofacial diagnostics and 

presurgical planning. While this was initially realized by spiral 

computed tomography, associated with relatively high radiation 

dose levels and costs, dental cone beam computed tomography 

is rapidly taking over as it enables volumetric jaw bone imaging 

at reasonable costs and doses. This offers numerous challenges 

in presurgical diagnostics, implant planning and any derived 

CAD-CAM application. However, CBCT requires a proper a priori 

knowledge on its indications, applications and optimized use. 

The present lecture will help to explain details on how various 

CBCT machines may function, how a particular equipment may 

properly work and how one can strive towards further CBCT 

optimization strategies for use in presurgical implant planning. 

RADIOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF DISEASE 

Whenever deciding to go for presurgical implant planning using 

CBCT, the initial step in CBCT image interpretation should be 

to differentiate the normal from the pathological or aberrant 

features. Recognizing the latter is essential when viewing CBCT 

images prior to implant placement. One can label this step as the 

preimplant diagnostic phase, during which one has to maximize 

the interpretation of the available image data, by spotting bone 

structural quality, aberrant bone sites, remnant bone lesions, 

active periodontal and endodontic lesions, nasopalatine canal 

and other cystic lesions, existing maxillary sinus pathology 

and other aberrant features appearing in the jaw bone and 

neighboring structures. It will be attempted to go for a number 

of clinical cases, to be interpreted in interaction with the 

audience.

ABSTRACT: 

RENEWED IMPLANT THERAPY FOLLOWING ESTHETIC IMPLANT FAILURES IN THE ANTERIOR MAXILLA 

The handling of esthetic failures following implant therapy in the anterior maxilla presents a major challenge for involved clinicians and dental 

technicians. The origin of such failures is most often a malposition of the implants, a lack of a suffi cient bone volume on the facial aspect, or a 

peri-implant infection. That means that many of these failures are clearly clinician-caused, mainly related to inadequate clinical performance. 

According to the SAC Classifi cation of the ITI, the described situations correspond most often to the „complex“ category (Cat. C), requiring 

retreatment by experienced clinicians. 

This presentation will discuss all relevant aspects of retreatment, which include: 

Comprehensive failure analysis, including a 3D radiographic analysis with CBCT 

All aspects of structured treatment planning, including the appropriate timing of necessary surgical and prosthetic procedures 

Careful removal of failed implants, minimizing additional bone loss 

Implant placement and bone augmentation procedures with GBR, either with a simultaneous or a staged approach 

The eventual indication for soft tissue grafting 

The duration of wound healing, followed by the reopening procedure 

The diagnostic value of the provisional restoration in developing and determining the design of the fi nal restoration 

The defi nitive restoration, sometimes including an integrated soft tissue epithesis 

In this context, several case reports will be presented in detail to illustrate the main problems associated with renewed implant therapy following 

esthetic implant failures. They clearly document that the treatment outcomes following retreatment are often somewhat compromised due to scar 

tissue formation or due to vertical tissue defi ciencies at adjacent teeth or at implant sites. Hence, the importance of careful treatment planning 

and subsequent meticulous clinical execution of the fi rst intervention in this highly sensitive segment of the maxilla is underlined. It defi nitely 

should be performed by adequately qualifi ed clinicians.

ABSTRACT: 

AN UPDATE ON THE TREATMENT OF PERIIMPLANTITIS 

Since nonsurgical treatment approaches failed to promote the 

re-osseointegration at exposed implant sites, additional surgical 

interventions may be required in order to minimize the risk for 

a re-infection of the peri-implant pocket. This might be achieved 

either with resective surgery (i.e. elimination of pathological 

peri-implant pockets in combination with implantoplasty) or with 

bone augmentation procedures. 

The lecture will provide an evidence-based review on the 

currently available procedures for the treatment of periimplantitis 

lesions. Particular emphasis will be layed on the 

clinical application of surgical regenerative procedures.

ABSTRACT: 

SURGICAL FACTORS INFLUENCING THE AESTHETIC TREATMENT 

OUTCOME, INCLUDING SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF AESTHETIC 

COMPLICATIONS 

Many factors can infl uence the aesthetic outcome of implant 

restorations. This includes patient/site-related factors, and 

clinician-related factors both restorative and surgical. In this 

lecture, the clinical factors under the control of the surgeon that 

can infl uence these outcomes will be discussed. This includes 

implant position, distribution of implants when multiple teeth 

are missing, timing of placement after extraction and ridge 

augmentation procedures. When aesthetic complications do 

occur, strategies for diagnosing and managing these factors will 

be presented.

ABSTRACT: 

PROSTHETIC FACTORS INFLUENCING THE AESTHETIC TREATMENT 

OUTCOME, INCLUDING PROSTHETIC MANAGEMENT OF AESTHETIC 

COMPLICATIONS 

In this lecture will be discussed how clinicians and technicians 

can «fi ne tune» their aesthetic implant cases working with 

bone, soft tissue, using various prosthetic solutions. 

Diagnostics, Treatment Strategy, the Workfl ow with the Surgical 

as well as the Prosthetic part will be treated. 

In clinical cases will be shown when to Preserve, Reconstruct 

or Replace the existing architecture of both bone and soft tissue. 

To compensate the ridge defi ciency we can apply several 

augmentation techniques of both hard and soft tissue to regain 

the missing volume. If we can do the implant placement and the 

extraction in the same surgical session we normally need less 

invasive techniques to preserve the ridge volume. This statement 

underbuilds various immediate post-extraction protocols. 

Regaining, after maturation, the volume means that clinically 

speaking we might have the “bulk” of the tissues but not 

necessarily the right shape! Here is where actively working 

with provisionals will help us to obtain and stabilize the ideal 

3D shape and harmony which is subsequently transferred to the 

fi nal restorations. 

Clear guidelines for the choosing the metal free prosthetic 

components like the Crown-Abutment combination, Zirconium 

screw retained bridges, and developing the correct emergence 

profi les and pontic sites will be given. Clinical Tools used to 

address aesthetic pitfalls will be shown. 

Also the importance of communication with the lab technician, 

and the properties of Alumina Zirconia and Lithium disilicate 

with the covering ceramics will be treated. The lecturer will 

cover single tooth replacement, partial edentulous patients, as 

well as fi xed full arch reconstructions. 

Developing a keen eye for details combined with Team work is 

the key to success.

ABSTRACT: 

PATIENT’S AESTHETIC EXPECTATION AND SATISFACTION 

Dental implant therapy has been demonstrated to be a successful 

and predictable treatment for replacement of missing teeth. The 

aesthetic appearance can be evaluated by different rating scores 

and many studies demonstrated that the aesthetic outcome was 

rated higher by the patients than by the dentists. It seems 

that factors considered by professionals to be of signifi cance 

for the aesthetic result of the restorative treatment may not 

be the same for the patient’s satisfaction. However, patient’s 

aesthetic expectation level is not commonly assessed prior 

to treatment. Anamnesis of patient’s preoperative individual 

esthetic demands and the opinion about the treatment may 

infl uence the postoperative satisfaction. Natural appearance of 

the restoration is the primary request of patients with singletooth 

implant reconstructions. Patients with full-arch fi xed 

restorations show similar expectations but functional issues are 

more important.

ABSTRACT: 

TREATMENT OF PERIPROSTHETIC INFECTION IN THE FIELD OF 

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY 

It seems, that in the fi eld of orthopaedic implant surgery and 

dental implant surgery implanted materials, procedure of 

implantation and required implantation standards are similar. 

But there are many differences in the algorithm of treating 

infections of implants in these fi elds. 

In periprosthetic infections of orthopaedic implants the gold 

standard of treatment is a one step or a two step procedures. In 

the one step procedure, a new endoprothetic system is implanted 

after the explantation of the infected prosthesis. In the two 

step procedure, after explantation of the infected prosthesis, 

antibiotic loaded spacers are implanted for six weeks before the 

re-implantation of a new endoprothetic system. 

Periprosthetic joint infections are still one of the most 

challenging complications after total hip and knee arthroplasty. 

In this lecture the algorithm of treating infections in the fi eld of 

orthopaedic surgery will be illustrated.

ABSTRACT: 

BACK TO THE FUTURE: WHERE ARE WE GOING WITH TECHNOLOGY 

ENHANCED LEARNING (TEL)? 

This presentation will explore the new educational opportunities 

afforded by the digital revolution using a medieval tool - the lecture. 

The narrator will take you on a journey through time to discover 

what is available now and what lies beyond in a future of exciting 

new learning domains. 

So how much has changed since ancient times? Plato and 

Gutenberg had pivotal roles in writing and printing revolutions 

respectively, but the student of the 12th century would 

immediately know where they were now. The pace of change 

in education towards technology enhanced and blended modes 

of education has been surprisingly slow, given that the Y or Net 

Generation (born 1982-1999) are technically savvy. 

Today Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) such as Moodle, 

are gaining ground supported by TEL evidence base. But the 

emergence of collaborative and informal learning opportunities 

using social media and serious games, together with new 

perspectives on e-assessment are changing the landscape. 

Newer technologies such as robotics (haptics – sense of touch) 

can help train and measure skill acquisition. 

Horizon scanning into the future is not just crystal ball gazing. 

It is about understanding and predicting the needs of teachers 

and learners in their own contexts using the best evidence, 

imagination, creativity and innovation. Imagine a 3D world with 

haptic capability, avatar virtual patients and even the sense of 

smell – a learning world where there are no fi nal examinations. 

As we go ‘Back to the Future’ how many predictions made 25 

years ago are now true?

ABSTRACT: 

INTOLERANCE REACTIONS TO TITANIUM IMPLANTS 

Titanium (Ti) based materials are widely used in orthopaedic 

surgery and dental implantology, as they offer a fast 

osseointegration. However, only few reports describe potential 

hypersensitivity to Ti. Such reactions encompass: Local 

eczema or infl ammatory reactions to Ti-based pace makers, 

impaired fracture / wound healing upon osteosynthesis or 

cases of loosening of arthroplasty. Granulomatous foreign body 

reactions to Ti wear particles have been described. There is 

still controversial discussion about the spectrum of Ti related 

immune reactions. As it has been shown, that Ti particles may 

induce IL-1ß secretion, there might be a link to arthroplasty 

loosening and – eventually – to periimplantitis in Ti dental 

implant patients. In the presentation, patient examples and 

research data will be discussed.

ABSTRACT: 

THE VIRTUAL PATIENT / CUSTOMIZED IMPLANTS 

Medical images allow for the design of accurate, threedimensional 

computer models of patients. A geometric accuracy 

of 0.2 mm to 1 mm is well possible using imaging techniques 

such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance 

imaging (MRI) or cone beam CT (CBCT). Tissue properties can 

be obtained from the medical image data as well. In the area of 

cranio-maxillo-facial surgery and/or stomatology, these models 

can be obtained for the entire head and neck region. 

The computer models are used for various purposes, relevant to 

patient treatment: 

to design geometric models without further mechanical 

evaluation, to create patient-specifi c implants; 

to design multi-body models that allow for the simulation of 

kinematics or dynamics, e.g. to design virtual articulators; 

to design lumped parameter models (e.g. mass spring damper 

models) that also allow to simulate the behavior of soft tissues 

and to simulate e.g. the facial appearance after orthognatic 

surgery or orthodontic treatment; 

to design full three dimensional fi nite element models that 

predict bone loading and loading in prosthetic devices or in 

implants after patient treatment. 

Although the advantages of using virtual patient models relate 

to their fl exibility to evaluate treatment alternatives and come 

up with an optimal solution for each individual patient, key 

requirements in the development of these models are their ease 

of use, also to non-technically educated medical specialists, and 

their degree of bio-fi delity and validity. 

One step further is the use of these computer models to allow 

to the surgeon to try out the planned intervention, using 

virtual reality environments. These environments require the 

stimulation of all senses of the surgeon, i.e. visual, auditory, but 

also haptic and tactile.

ABSTRACT: 

AN UPDATE ON TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH CONGENITAL MISSING TEETH. ORTHODONTIC ASPECTS 

In connection with treatment of individuals with congenital missing permanent teeth knowledge concerning the morphology and growth of the 

alveolar process is very important, both when the plan is to orthodontically close the space with natural teeth, and also when the plan includes 

dental implants to replace missing teeth. 

In cases where the treatment plan comprise dental implants, not only width and height of the alveolar process at the receipt site will infl uence the 

fi nal result, but also the inclination and vertical position of the adjacent teeth will play a role for the long-term prognosis. 

In order to be as successful as possible optimal 3D orthodontic preparation of the receipt site is essential. An important part of the treatment plan 

is to place the upper incisors in an optimal position of the face taking the sagittal, vertical and transverse plan into consideration. In order to do 

so analysis of the craniofacial morphology, prediction of the growth pattern and space analysis are important factors for the fi nal treatment plan. 

In the lecture, focus will be on both, biology of the development of the alveolar process, and the orthodontic preparation of the receipt site. 

The link between tooth eruption, growth of the alveolar process and the morphology of the alveolar process in relation to craniofacial morphology 

will be discussed in the sagittal, vertical and transverse aspects. In addition cases exemplifying theses 3D considerations will be presented.

ABSTRACT: 

AN UPDATE ON TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH CONGENITALLY MISSING TEETH. IMPLANTOLOGICAL ASPECTS 

Congenitally missing teeth may vary between just one missing tooth up to sub-totally and total aplasia. Oligodontia is associated with 6 and more 

missing teeth and can be observed in Europe 6%-8% and North America 3.5%, resulting in a disturbance of the development of the alveolar crest 

up to facial and skeletal development disorders. 

From the surgical point of view there are two major aspects to be considered: 

1. How do we handle or restore the alveolar crest in order to place dental implants? 

2. How is the surgical time record for the patient to get optimal aesthetic results? 

The presentation will give a detailed overview of currently recommended pre-implantological procedures for reconstruction based on clinical 

cases. Special focus will be laid to most recent procedures including the use of BMP-2. 

Furthermore, time tables will high-lighten the optimal time point for treatment, giving the practitioner all the information to handle patients with 

oligodontia in his own offi ce.

ABSTRACT: 

WHAT IS A CONSENSUS CONFERENCE? 

Proper decision making in clinical practice is governed by the desires of the patient, the experience and abilities of the care provider and the 

respective evidence base in the fi eld. Consensus conferences aim at elucidating the progress in the scientifi c and clinical evidence in a given 

medical fi eld like implant dentistry and aim at passing this information on to the people involved in this specifi c medical discipline. In order to 

do so clinically important questions are identifi ed by an organizing committee. Subsequently, experts are chosen and asked to thoroughly screen 

the scientifi c literature and to summarize the evidence in review papers. In addition, these experts assess the quality of the data on which this 

evidence is based. During the consensus conference the review papers are discussed in expert groups, amended if found necessary and consensus 

statements are formulated. These consensus statements encompass recommendations for clinical practice and provide directions for future 

research. Finally, all this information is published in scientifi c journals and thus made available to clinicians and scientists. As a result of such a 

consensus conference better information is made available to help improve treatment with oral implants care and thus to improve the quality of 

life of our patients.

ABSTRACT: 

PERI-IMPLANT TISSUE DESTRUCTION 

Implant therapy is a well-established method of replacing missing teeth. 

Excellent long-term results can be achieved, nevertheless biologic 

complications may occur. Still the reported magnitude of the incidence 

of these complications, is a matter of academic dispute. Occlusal 

overload has been related to the loss of marginal bone and implants 

as well. 

The prevalence of peri-implantitis over a 5 to 10 year period following 

implant placement has been reported to be in the order of 10% of 

implants and 20% of patients. 

Differences in the defi nition of peri-implantitis have resulted in a wide 

range of reported prevalence values. Factors that have been shown to 

affect peri-implantitis prevalence include smoking, poor oral hygiene 

and a history of periodontitis. 

Once mucosal infl ammation and loss of supporting peri-implant tissues 

have occurred, non-surgical and surgical interventions are often 

indicated. All treatment modalities should disrupt the submucosal 

biofi lm and include a thorough cleaning of the contaminated implant 

surface. 

Adjunctive measures (submucosal air-polishing, ER:YAG laser treatment, 

locally delivered antimicrobials) may result in greater reduction in 

bleeding on probing and probing depth. However, the outcomes are 

variable and infl uenced by factors not yet fully understood. 

Resection of the bony wall, fi lling of the defect or surface modifi cations 

of the implant can be considered in adjunction to mechanical 

instrumentation. Surgical therapy is considered to be superior to nonsurgical 

therapy in resolving peri-implantitis. 

A regular maintenance program is needed for the long-term management 

of peri-implantitis lesions.

ABSTRACT: 

COMPUTER-AIDED IMPLANT THERAPY AND SOFT AND HARD TISSUE ASPECTS 

Introduction: The objective of this working group was to update the existing knowledge base in computer guided implant treatment (accuracy 

and clinical advantages). 

Material and methods: The literature was systematically searched and critically reviewed. Two systematic reviews were prepared that allowed 

the group to develop evidence-based conclusions, as well as clinical implications and recommendations for future research: 

Van Assche N., Vercruyssen M., Coucke W., Teughels W., Jacobs R. & Quirynen M. Accuracy of computer guided implant placement. COIR 2012 

Hultin M., Svensson K. & Trulsson M. Clinical advantages of computer guided implant placement. COIR 2012 

Results & Clinical Implications: Guided implant protocols may help the clinician to perform successful implant therapy avoiding fl ap elevation, 

causing less pain and discomfort to the patient. However, when using this technique one should consider in a horizontal direction a mean system 

error of 1.2 mm, and in a vertical direction an error of 0.5 mm, and the clinician should be aware that deviations of up to 6 mm have been 

reported. Moreover, clinicians have to consider that computer-driven fl apless surgery often overlooks the ideal location of important soft tissue 

anatomy, such as the thickness, width and position of keratinized tissue. 

Having all of this in mind, clinicians should realize that guided implant surgery is technically demanding and not free from specifi c procedurerelated 

complications. Hence, the belief that “less training is needed” is far from accurate.

ABSTRACT: 

COMPUTER-AIDED IMPLANT THERAPY AND SOFT AND HARD TISSUE ASPECTS 

During this presentation, the main conclusions, group’s consensus and clinical implications will be reported for two review papers. 

The fi rst review will be related to “Ridge preservation after tooth extraction: a narrative review (by Ren E. Wang & Niklaus P. Lang)” the aim of 

which was to evaluate the most recent studies and to explore new insights on the topic, aiming to shed some light on the techniques designed 

to preserve the alveolar ridge. Main conclusions and group’s consensus will be reported on the infl uence on bony ridge resorption after tooth 

extraction of immediate installation of implants into the alveolar socket and/or the use of biomaterial/GBR techniques to treat the residual defect. 

Clinical implications will be discussed. 

The second review presented will be “Is there a need for keratinized mucosa around implants to maintain health and tissue stability? By Jan L. 

Wennström & Jan Derks”. The aim of this review was to analyze the literature with regard to the need for keratinized mucosa around implants 

to maintain health and tissue stability. Main conclusions and group’s consensus will be reported on the association between the presence of an 

adequate” keratinized tissue around implants and plaque control, bleeding score, soft tissue recession, interproximal bone level changes and 

risk for implant loss. Clinical implications will be discussed about the need of preserving the existing keratinized mucosa during the treatment 

procedures and about the necessity of performing grafting procedures, aiming at increasing the amount of keratinized mucosa to improve 

outcomes of the implant therapy.

ABSTRACT: 

RECONSTRUCTIONS ON IMPLANTS 

Introduction: This presentation will review the current knowledge in the areas of implant connections to abutments/reconstructions, fi xation 

methods (cement- versus screw retained) for implant-supported reconstructions, as well as the optimal number of implants for fi xed dental 

prosthesis and implant-supported overdentures bases on the EAO workshop 2012. 

Material and methods: The literature was systematically searched and critically reviewed. Four manuscripts were produced in the four subject 

areas based on systematically search strategy and consensus statements, clinical recommendations and implication for future research were 

formulated. 

Results: The following 4 position papers were the basis for the consensus statements, the clinical recommendations and directions for future 

research: 

Internal versus external connections for abutments/reconstructions: A systematic review. 

Cemented and screw-retained implant reconstructions: A systematic review of the survival and complication rates. 

What is the optimal number of implants for fi xed reconstructions? A systematic review.

ABSTRACT: 

TIME PRESSURE AND STRESS AT WORK : WHAT IS THE IMPACT IN 

THE FAILURE OCCURRENCE 

Time management is at the cornerstone of medical activities and 

risk management. In general medicine, the poor control of time by 

GPs is causing directly or indirectly over 40% of adverse events. 

Dentists are not that much different. They manage various times 

for delivering safe care - also termed tempos because each time 

rhythms the activity: the disease’s tempo (unexpected rapid 

evolutions, slow reaction to treatment), the offi ce’s tempo (day 

to day agenda and interruptions), the patient’s tempo (time to 

express symptoms, compliance, emotion), the system’s tempo 

(time for appointments, exams, and feedback) and your own 

cognitive tempo when you are tired or preoccupied. 

Each of these times/tempos generates Adverse Events, and 

therefore needs for specifi c consideration for safe management. 

The burden is even greater since a good and safe job continuously 

asks for playing with all these times together according to 

unplanned delays, rescheduling, or emergencies, and even 

more for playing with the global agenda and the total practice, 

trading continuously losses of time on some patients with gains 

on others. This knowhow about ‘managing sacrifi ces ‘ –how to 

safely sacrifi ce some of the care on some patients because you 

are late or tired- is not taught at University, like it is for most 

areas belonging to Human Factors and “Non technical Skills”. 

The presentation gives concrete examples and shows directions 

for concrete improvement.

ABSTRACT: 

MANAGEMENT OF UNANTICIPATED ADVERSE EVENTS: APPLYING 

IT INTO EVERYDAY PRACTICE 

Harmful errors and complications are unfortunate but 

inescapable in healthcare delivery. In the healing arts, it is 

acknowledged that “to error is human” and mistakes do occur 

and are anticipated in many systems. Following a medical error or 

an adverse event, provider behavior is known to have a profound 

effect on the patient and family response and the subsequent 

doctor-patient relationship. Over the past decade, there has 

been broad consensus that provider disclosure of adverse 

unanticipated events to the patient and family is desirable and 

appropriate. Unfortunately, traditional healthcare education has 

failed to provide adequate training in the critical skills to handle 

iatrogenic incidents while institutional endorsement and support 

have remained limited or absent. It is not surprising that most 

healthcare providers are unclear of what to disclose, when to do 

it and how to proceed despite the patient’s overwhelming desire 

to be informed and to be reassured. This presentation intends to 

review reactions of both doctors and patients following adverse 

events specifi c to implant dentistry and the implementation of 

protocols into daily practice which may help in the effective 

management of these harmful occurrences. References in the 

preparation for this lecture will be provided.

the Medline database. He edited the book “Current concepts on 

temporomandibular disorders” (Quintessence Publishing, 2010), 

including contributions from 45 world-renowned experts. 

ABSTRACT: 

PARAFUNCTIONS AND IMPLANTS 

In spite of the increasing knowledge on its etiology, diagnosis, and 

management, evidence on the effects of bruxism as a cause of dental 

implants failure or complication is still lacking. Thus, practical 

guidelines for the management of bruxism patients undergoing 

restorations on dental implants are based on expert opinions 

rather than on scientifi cally sound information. Considering the 

need to get deeper into the issue of the effects of bruxism on dental 

implants, the most suitable strategy is to perform systematic 

appraisals of the available literature on the argument. To this aim, 

a systematic search in the National Library of Medicine’s Medline 

Database was performed to identify all peer-reviewed papers in the 

English literature assessing the role of bruxism, as diagnosed with 

anyelse diagnostic approach, as a risk factor for biological (i.e., 

implant failure, implant mobility, marginal bone loss) or mechanical 

(i.e., complications or failures of either prefabricated components 

or laboratory-fabricated suprastructures) complications on dental 

implants-supported rehabilitations. The selected articles were 

reviewed according to a structured summary of the articles in 

relation to four main issues, viz., ‘P’ - patients/problem/population, 

‘I’ - intervention, ‘C’ - comparison, and ‘O’ - outcome (PICO). A 

total of 21 papers were included in the review and split into those 

assessing biological complications (N=14) and those reporting 

mechanical complications (N=7). In general, the specifi city of the 

literature for bruxism diagnosis and for the study of the bruxism’s 

effects on dental implants was low. From a biological viewpoint, 

bruxism was not related with implant failures in six papers, whilst 

results from the remaining eight studies did not allow drawing 

conclusions. As for mechanical complications, four of the seven 

studies yielded a positive relationship with bruxism. In conclusion, 

bruxism is unlikely to be a risk factor for biological complications 

around dental implants, while there are some suggestions that 

it may be a risk factor for mechanical complications. Overall, the 

quality and specifi city of the reviewed literature are very poor, 

thus suggesting caution in the interpretation of the conclusions 

and underlining the need for appropriately designed investigations.

ABSTRACT: 

TECHNICAL COMPLICATIONS IN IMPLANT DENTISTRY 

It is already nearly half a century since the fi rst endosseous 

dental implants were placed in a patient to support a fi xed 

reconstruction. 

Over the last decades the experience with dental implants has 

been very positive. Hundreds of clinical studies have reported 

very high survival rates of dental implants and implant supported 

reconstructions. Many of those studies have also reported on 

biological complications, such as marginal bone loss and soft 

tissue complications. 

Technical complications and the prevalence of patients with or 

without failures and complications have received signifi cantly 

less attention. For implant-supported reconstructions, 

complications can occur over years in function. These can be 

minor complications, which can be corrected or repaired 

without investing lots of time and effort, but also complications, 

classifi ed as major complications, resulting in a lot of time and 

effort to be invested or even worse, the reconstruction has to 

be remade. 

In this lecture, the incidence of different technical complications 

by implant-supported reconstructions will be presented. 

The possible etiology of such complications will be discussed 

and suggestions will be made how the incidence of technical 

complications in implant dentistry can be reduced. 

Finally, guidelines on how to report success and complications in 

implant dentistry, will be presented.

characterising the sensorimotor regulation of mastication and 

how prosthetic treatments affect oral motor function. 

ABSTRACT: 

MASTICATORY FUNCTION AND IMPLANTS 

Masticatory function is indeed an important aspect of oral 

health, and rehabilitation with dental implants should aim to 

maintain or restore adequate function. During the last decades 

the knowledge about how the brain controls masticatory 

function has increased tremendously. To perform the wellbalanced 

regulation of jaw movements and bite forces during 

mastication the brain needs detailed information from a variety 

of sense organs in and around the mouth. The periodontal 

mechanoreceptors, located in the ligaments anchoring the tooth 

to the alveolar bone, play a central role in encoding patterns 

of forces acting on the dentition and contribute signifi cantly 

to the regulation of masticatory forces. When a natural tooth 

is replaced by a dental implant, the periodontal ligament 

disappears and the periodontal mechanoreceptors can no 

longer signal information to the brain about mechanical events. 

To be able to understand how implant treatment affects oral 

sensory and motor functions, we must fi rst learn about the role 

of the natural tooth as a sensor in the nervous system. This 

presentation will provide a summary for the clinician of recent 

studies on the sensorimotor regulation of masticatory function 

with natural teeth and dental implants. Focus will be on the 

regulatory changes that occur when a natural tooth is replaced 

by an implant and its clinical implications.

ABSTRACT: 

FUTURE PERSPECTIVES OF COMPUTER-GUIDED IMPLANT 

TREATMENT PLANNING 

The introduction of digital technologies in dentistry has opened 

a wide range of new avenues, resulting in a profound change 

in the way implant dentistry is performed. Systems for digital 

acquisition of patients’ three-dimensional data, including optical 

surface scanners and cone-beam computed tomography, have 

been exponentially broadening the diagnostic possibilities. 

Open source softwares allow for a simplifi ed exchange of 

the data related to the virtual patient process and, therefore, 

facilitate the communication between the involved parties. 

Furthermore, new tools for the analysis and processing of 

digitalized patient’s data enable to simulate the desired end 

result with respect to prosthodontic reconstruction, to the 

peri-implant bone and to soft tissue. Based on the principle 

of backward planning, such information is used to identify the 

ideal implant position and to plan the augmentation procedures. 

Finally, the application of rapid prototyping allows to accurately 

transfer the virtual treatment plan to the clinical situation. The 

use of 3D printers goes beyond the manufacturing of surgical 

guides, by creating new opportunities for both diagnostics 

and communication. The integration of these new technologies 

within the digital workfl ow in implant dentistry will greatly 

enhance the possibilities for choosing the best treatment, 

improve the treatment predictability, and increase time and cost 

effectiveness. This lecture will focus on the application of the 

new workfl ows for the computer-assisted treatment planning.

ABSTRACT: 

FUTURE PERSPECTIVES OF IMPLANT PROSTHETICS 

Dental implants function as anchorage for an intra-oral 

prosthesis that aims to restore the patient appearance, 

stomatognathic function, comfort and social confi dence. 

Clinicians and researchers will continue to enhance current 

products, materials and devices to achieve these objectives. 

Computer-assisting tools is becoming more and more central 

in the delivery of implant-related technologies, ranging from 

top-down planning from an optimal super-construction form and 

position relative to the placement of implant system components 

with or without associated bone augmentation. New biomaterials 

with enhanced biological, mechanical and physical properties 

are being developed, which are suitable for computer numerical 

controlled machines using subtractive, e.g., milling, or additive, 

e.g., sintering, manufacturing methods. In this context, a rising 

concern internationally is that our most important partners in 

providing clinical excellence, i.e., the dental technicians, appear 

to be rapidly diminishing in numbers. In-vitro experimental data 

are promising albeit the correlations with clinical outcomes 

are somewhat ambiguous. Ongoing clinical trials will hopefully 

confi rm the promising results based on laboratory experiments 

and simulation studies. An enigma that needs to be clarifi ed by 

clinical studies in implant prosthetics is the potential etiological 

component of “overload” on the development of peri-implant 

osteitis. Theoretic ideas still abound on, e.g., the necessities of 

a particular occlusion, whether splinting or not is benefi cial, the 

number of implants needed to support a particular number of 

supra-structure units, alleged benefi ts of longer and/or wider 

implants and relevance of crown-to-implant ratio.

ABSTRACT: 

20 YEARS WITH BONE AUGMENTATION AND IMPLANT SURGERY. 

WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED? 

The history of Guide Bone Regeneration can be divided in 3 main 

periods: the Developing Period, the Consolidation Period and the 

Simplifi cation Period. 

The Development Period began in 1989 with famous study 

in rabbits from Dr. Dahlin and continued until 1996 when 

the fi nal surgical technique has been well defi ned. During 

the Consolidation Period the results were confi rmed with 

retrospective and prospective clinical studies. From 2005, with 

the beginning of the Simplifi cation Period, Tissue Engineering 

techniques are used in order to reduce the complexity of the 

regenerative surgery and the morbidity for the patient. The use 

of growth factors could in a near future eliminate the need of 

the barrier membrane and of the autogenous bone harvesting 

from the patient, resulting in easier and less invasive surgical 

techniques.

ABSTRACT: 

WILL IT BE POSSIBLE TO GROW A JAW IN THE FUTURE? 

Tissue Engineering is considered to be the third treatment 

modality, complimenting current medical and surgical 

treatments. Biomaterials, growth factors, as well as stem cells 

(SC), both embryonic and adult tissue derived, play a critical 

role in this fi eld of research and therefore a multidisciplinary 

approach is extremely benefi cial for successful outcome and 

many research groups are extensively studying this interesting 

treatment possibility. 

In bone reconstruction, among other cell sources, human 

adipose stem cells (hASCs) are a very viable alternative. In this 

presentation, current use of custom designed tissue engineered 

“spare parts” as well as future perspectives of tissue 

engineering are being elaborated, The help of rapid prototyping 

in scaffold preparation is also shown. The results of our nearly 

30 patients’ clinical treatments, with maximum of 5 years of 

follow-up, with adipose derived stem cells in bone regeneration 

in craniomaxillofacial area will be presented.

> Irma THESLEFF 

DDS, PhD 

Professor and Research Director at the 

Institute of Biotechnology, University of 

Helsinki, Finland 

Professor Thesleff graduated from the 

Dental School of the University of Helsinki 

in 1972 and became Doctor of Odontology in 1975 and a 

Specialist in Orthodontics in 1983. In 1990 she was appointed 

Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pedodontics and 

Orthodontics at the University of Helsinki. Since 1996 she is 

the Research Director of the Developmental Biology Program 

at the Institute of Biotechnology. She has authored more 

than 300 original articles and review papers in international 

journals. She is a leading researcher in developmental biology, 

with special emphasis on dentistry. She is an EMBO member 

and an AAAS Fellow. Dr. Thesleff has been honored with many 

major awards, including the Anders Jahre Prize in Medicine 

from Oslo University, the Distinguished Scientist Award in 

Craniofacial Biology and Isaac Schour Memorial Award from the 

Intenational Association of Dental Research, and the Helsinki 

City Science prize, and in addition she has been awarded 

honorary doctorates from several universities. 

Professor Thesleff is a world authority on the development of 

teeth, the craniofacial bones and structures that arise from 

ectoderm, such as hair and exocrine glands. Among her many 

important scientifi c discoveries, she has defi ned how failures 

in cell signaling networks result in developmental defects such 

as abnormal bones and teeth and ectodermal dysplasias. In 

particular, she is known for developing mouse models of human 

disease, and a variety of novel experimental methods that 

examine how cells transmit molecular messages and how teeth 

develop from their progenitor stem cells. 

ABSTRACT: 

WILL IT BE POSSIBLE TO GROW A TOOTH IN THE FUTURE? 

Scientifi c breakthroughs during recent years in the fi elds of 

genetics and developmental biology have rapidly increased our 

understanding of tooth development. A great deal is known about 

how individual genes regulate tooth development, and how gene 

mutations cause hypodontia, supernumerary teeth, abnormal 

tooth shapes, and aberrations in dental hard tissues. The new 

knowledge is already used in diagnosis and even prevention of 

some dental defects. The remarkable recent progress in stem 

cell biology is now feeding hopes to grow new teeth by combining 

the various new biological technologies with old tissue culture 

methods. Although stem cells have been discovered in teeth, and 

research on their characteristics and differentiation is currently 

active, there are several problems that must be solved before 

bioengineering of teeth will be feasible. These are related to the 

programming of the stem and progenitor cells to tooth-specifi c 

cells, and to the regulation in time and space of the complicated 

process of tooth morphogenesis depending on intricate interplay 

of several different cell types such as those forming the dental 

hard tissues, dentin, enamel and cementum. However, the 

biggest challenge may be the creation of functional roots.

Wennerberg has written above 150 original scientifi c papers 

published in international peer reviewed journals. She has 

received several national and international awards for her 

research about implant surface topography. 

ABSTRACT: 

FUTURE PERSPECTIVES OF BIOACTIVE IMPLANT SURFACES 

To be able to enhance bone healing, several aspects of altering 

implant surface properties have been studied during the last 

decade, in particular surface chemistry and surface topography 

has been scrutinized. 

Nanometer particles, ion implantation, surface wettability 

and biofi lm coating are some examples on new surface 

modifi cations that have been added to the previous version of 

surface treatment. One of the hypothesis for adding nanometer 

particles is that these small particles may act as a retention site 

for the proteins and thus be relevant for further event during 

the healing process. The particles may be of different material 

such as calcium phosphate and titaniumdioxide. The size of 

these particles is often around 20 nm. In addition, particular 

calcium-, fl uoride- and magnesium ions have been reported to 

provide with a bioactive surface, i.e a surface which will have 

a certain ability to attract necessary proteins and cells for 

implant integration in living tissue. To alter the chemo-physical 

conditions has also lately been introduced on commercial 

implants, for example super-hydrophilicity. Surprisingly even 

these methods may change the outermost surface structure and 

nm TiO2 particles can be identifi ed on the surface. Thus several 

surface modifi cations that aim to change the chemisty and 

physics will also change the topography and vice versa. 

Increased bone integration as well as increased soft tissue 

adhesion has been reported in experimental studies although 

the clinical advantage of nano- and so called bioactive implant 

surfaces is still unknown.

ITI fellow since 1993. In 2006 he accepted the position of 

Professor of Oral Implantology and Prosthetic Dentistry at 

ACTA Amsterdam which he combines with his referral practice. 

The main research areas in his department are focused on 

“CAD/CAM treatment optimization”,” implant surface and bone 

substitute optimization” and “the evaluation of different implant 

based treatment modalities”. 

ABSTRACT: 

20 YEARS WITH IMPLANT-SUPPORTED PROSTHETICS. WHAT HAVE 

WE LEARNED? 

In the Netherlands an implant borne over-denture has become a 

treatment option for edentulous patients that can be reimbursed 

via medical insurance. This reimbursement program has it’s 

roots in evidence-based research which was started about 

25 years ago. During this period treatment indication, the 

number of implants and loading protocols have changed. In 

this presentation the evolution of this type of treatment will be 

discussed.

ABSTRACT: 

SYSTEMIC DISEASES TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE 

The global epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is of major concern to the society, because it represents a signifi cant threat to human 

health and development. NCDs, e.g. cardiovascular disease, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes and oral diseases, account for 60% of 

global deaths. Eighty per cent of these deaths occur in low and middle income countries. Oral diseases, including dental caries, periodontal disease 

and oral cancer, are neglected but important NCDs with a signifi cant burden on overall health. Unless addressed specifi cally, the burden of these 

diseases will continue to increase. WHO projects that globally NCD deaths will increase by 17% over the next 10 years. 

To make an effi cient reduction in NCDs it is necessary to take action on factors which infl uence people’s health behavior, i.e. the conditions in which 

they are born, grow, live, work and their age. While health care services attempt to repair the damage caused by premature ill health, these social, 

cultural, environmental and economic factors are the major infl uences on life quality and thereby the length of disability-free life expectancy. Thus, 

addressing the social determinants of health that are contributing to the increase in NCD burden is beyond the health sector alone. 

Accordingly, strategies to prevent NCDs require the collaborative engagement of multiple sectors such as the health care system, agriculture, 

economy, trade, transport, urban planning, education and recreation.

ABSTRACT: 

DISEASES OF THE ORAL MUCOSA AND IMPLANTS 

The widespread use of dental implants raises the question of oral 

mucosal lesions affecting the prognosis of this treatment. The 

issue is not only the patients who develop oral mucosal lesions 

after implant treatment, but also patients who already have an 

oral mucosal lesion at the installation of the implant. There are 

two gingival oral mucosal lesions, oral lichen planus and mucous 

membrane pemphigoid, which have prevalence fi gures that makes 

them interesting in relation to treatment with dental implants. In 

the case of oral lichen planus, there is some scientifi c evidence 

that provides support for that implant treatment can be carried 

out without any signifi cant impact on the prognosis. The scientifi c 

evidence for mucous membrane pemphigoid is very limited, but if 

the alternative to implants is full or partial dentures then dental 

implants are preferable. In addition to oral lichen planus and 

mucous membrane pemphigoid other categories of patients with 

oral mucosal lesions and dental implants will be discussed.

> Nikos MARDAS 

Dr Nikos Mardas qualifi ed in Dentistry from 

Athens University in 1992. He completed 

a 3 year specialist training programme 

and obtained his Master of Science in 

Periodontology degree at the Royal Dental 

College, University of Aarhus, Denmark 

in 1997. In 2005 he was awarded a PhD 

degree from the same university. From 2000 to March 2005 

he was working as a Periodontist in his own private practice 

limited in Periodontics and Implant dentistry in Athens Greece. 

In 2005 he joined Eastman Dental Institute (UCL) where he is 

currently holding the position of Senior Clinical Lecturer and 

Honorary Specialist being at the same time the program coordinator 

for the Master in Clinical Dentistry in Periodontology 

specialist training course. His main research interests are in 

the area of bone and periodontal tissues regeneration in healthy 

and compromised healing conditions and on clinical outcomes 

of implant therapy. The creation of scientifi c link between preclinical 

animal experiments and randomised controlled clinical 

trials evaluating evidence based treatment approaches in 

implant dentistry, constitute his main research target. He 

has published in international peer-reviewed journals and he 

is a member of the editorial team and reviewer in national 

and international scientifi c journals. In 2011, Dr Mardas was 

awarded the prestigious Basic Research Prize of the European 

Association for Osseointegration (EAO). 

ABSTRACT: 

CHRONIC MEDICAL DISEASES AND IMPLANTS 

The increase in life expectancy has resulted in an increasing 

number of elderly patients submitted to implant & bone 

regeneration procedures. Since the prevalence of chronic 

metabolic diseases like diabetes and osteoporosis is especially 

high in this population, implant & bone regeneration treatment 

protocols adjusted to this category of patients have to be 

formulated. Although there is some evidence that diabetes 

& osteoporosis as well as their medication might infl uence 

osseointegration and bone healing little is known about the 

biologic mechanisms responsible for these fi ndings and the 

effect of these two chronic diseases on clinical outcomes of 

dental implants remains under dispute. A greater understanding 

of how the pathogenesis of diabetes and osteoporosis may 

interact with bone healing will identify fundamental pathways 

that can be directly correlated with clinical performance in 

cases where bone defects have to be treated in osteoporotic 

or diabetic patients. The specifi c presentation will review the 

available literature in the fi eld and it will present the results 

of several preclinical studies on the effect of osteoporosis 

and diabetes on the physiological and structural properties of 

bone in the cranio-maxillo-facial area, on the mechanisms of 

bone healing and osseointegration, and the underlying genetic 

mechanisms that control them. These preliminary results could 

be used as suggestions for future treatment protocols for 

diabetic and osteoporotic patients.

Editor of the book: ‘Biocompatibility of Dental Materials’ together with D. Arenholt-Bindslev 

ABSTRACT: 

ALLERGIC REACTIONS TO TITANIUM AND PROSTHETIC MATERIALS 

Titanium is generally considered to be a highly biocompatible material due to the immediate formation of a bioinert TiO2 surface layer. Often 

titanium is e.g. used in patients with allergies against common metal sensitizers, like Ni,Pd,Cr and Co. Dental implants based on titanium have 

a high success rate, but failures gain increasing interest. Reasons for failure (periimplantitis) are mainly infection and/or mechanical overload. 

However, allergic reactions (type IV, i.e. t-cell-mediated) towards titanium have also been suggested often based on case reports. In the vicinity 

of (dental) implants titanium wear particles, but also titanium and other elements released from titanium implants have been found, fi ne particles 

also in the local lymphnodes. Biological reactions may, therefore, be caused by the titanium (element) reaction with body proteins or due to a 

cellular reaction towards titanium particles. The situation is further complicated as titanium often is combined (alloyed) with other metals like 

Vanadium, which are allergenic and even commercially pure (cp) titanium contains impurities like Co, Cr, Ni, Pd. Verifi cation of the allergic nature 

of an adverse reaction is also diffi cult, because the generally recognized patch test reveals very seldom a positive result in contrast to blood 

cell based tests (LTT or the MELISA). However, the latter are not considered clinically helpful due to the high number of false positive responses. 

Therefore, one should be very cautious with the diagnosis of a titanium allergy as a cause for periimplantitis. Improvement after titanium implant 

replacement is no proof for a titanium allergy.

The focus in my clinical research activities is on the use of various microvascular reconstruction techniques within the scope of functional 

rehabilitation following surgical treatment and on surgical treatment of obstructive sleeping apnea. 

ABSTRACT: 

MEDICATION AND IMPLANTS 

The assessment of patients related risks is a prerequisite in the treatment planning for dental implants. Surgical risks are weighed versus the 

potential benefi ts offered by dental implants. 

Acute counter-indications for dental implant rehabilitation include recent myocardial infarction, cerebro-vascular accident and active treatment 

of malignancy. 

Besides absolute counter-indications, conditions which compromise the success of the implant treatment like radiation therapy of the jaws, 

long-term smoking, periodontal disease or insuffi cient bone quality and quantity have to be considered. Consistent evidence exists showing a 

reduced implant survival associated with these conditions. 

Concerning the effect medical conditions have on the live expectancy of the implants, little is known. 

Autoimmune rheumatic disorders, hypothyroidism, hormone replacement therapy, immunosuppression due to organ transplantation, diabetis, 

osteoporosis and several other medical conditions or medications may have a negative infl uence on the chance that an implant will survive. 

An electronic search and hand search was performed and cross-referenced with articles cited in papers selective. The primary study parameter 

was implant failure due to medication. 

The results will be presented.

ABSTRACT: 

PERIODONTITIS-SUSCEPTIBLE INDIVIDUALS: GENERAL PRINCIPLES 

OF TREATMENT PLANNING 

Patients with periodontitis often present with a complex set 

of clinical conditions, making treatment planning a rather 

challenging task. Uncertainty about the long-term prognosis of 

periodontally involved teeth obscures which treatment among 

several alternatives provides the greatest benefi t to the patient. 

This lack of unambiguous information explains why providers 

often fail to agree on the optimal treatment for an individual 

patient. One, however, would expect that in a given clinical 

situation there is either just one optimal therapy or if there are 

several alternative therapies with similarly optimal outcomes, 

one treatment is preferable over the others based on properties 

that may be procedural or monetary in nature. 

Utilizing a prognostic model that provides quantitative estimates 

of the survival rates of periodontally involved teeth allows direct 

comparisons between the outcomes of periodontal therapy and 

outcomes of dental prostheses. Combining long-term survival 

rates with information about the involved treatment processes 

and expenditures enable patients to participate in the decision 

making about their dental care. This comprehensive and 

quantitative approach towards treatment planing in patients 

with periodontitis will be demonstrated in clinical cases.

ABSTRACT: 

20 YEARS WITH TREATMENT OF PERIODONTITIS-SUSCEPTIBLE 

INDIVIDUALS. WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED? 

Over the past two decades the number of publications dealing 

with dental implant treatment in periodontitis-susceptible 

individuals has increased steeply. The awareness of periodontitis 

as a risk factor for implant treatment has consequently also 

increased during this interval. Common risk factors has been 

identifi ed for periodontitis-susceptible individuals and patients 

experiencing complications in relation to implant treatment. 

Smokers with previous or current sensitivity to periodontitis 

has recently been identifi ed as a high-risk individuals. In 

contrast, non-smoking patients without a periodontitis history 

and with a record of good compliance after treatment has been 

shown to belong to a group of patients with excellent prognosis 

and long-term results following dental implant treatment. 

Biofi lm accumulation at the implant-tissue interface has been 

proposed as one possible factor of relevance for the initiation 

and development of peri-implantitis. Effective periodontal 

prophylaxis and treatment of the remaining dentition has been 

identifi ed as a prerequisite to prevent or stabilise infl ammatory 

conditions around transmucosal implants. It can also be 

concluded, based on available evidence, that implant patients in 

general, and periodontitis-susceptible individuals in particular, 

should be kept on a strict oral hygiene maintenance program 

and be encouraged to quit smoking. Careful examination of 

the patient, involving the periodontal- and peri-implant tissues 

at regular follow-up visits, is strongly advocated. We have 

learned that also periodontitis-susceptible individuals can be 

successfully treated with osseointegrated implants, however 

the patients should be informed of the increased risk involved.

ABSTRACT: 

IMPLANT-SUPPORTED PROSTHESIS IN PERIODONTITIS- 

SUSCEPTIBLE INDIVIDUALS 

A generation ago, complex cases either ended up in being treated 

with full dentures or with elaborate prosthetic reconstructions 

on few abutment teeth with reduced periodontal support, but 

completely healthy periodontal tissues. 

It is evident that such treatment was successful and enjoys 

high success and survival rates on a long term basis, but it was 

expensive and required enormous skills of the practising dentist. 

In the latest two decades, oral implants have revolutionized 

reconstructive dentistry. Implants are chosen a) to improve 

subjective chewing comfort, b) to preserve natural tooth 

substance and existing satisfactory reconstructions and c) to 

replace strategically important missing teeth. Implants should 

now be installed after diligent treatment planning. It is not the 

number of inserted implants that guarantees a successfully 

completed treatment plan, but the concept that the sequellae of 

oral diseases represent the sequellae of opportunistic infections 

and hence, these have to be controlled before implant abutments 

are installed. 

The presentation will focus on a comprehensive treatment 

approach where implants will be considered to simplify rather 

than to complicate the reconstruction of the periodontally 

compromised dentition. Based on the evidence available 

from systematic reviews on the longevity of reconstructions, 

appropriate tooth or implant supported reconstructions will 

be chosen fulfi lling the patients’ needs for individually optimal 

function and esthetics. 

SPEAKER 

> Lars LAURELL 

Dr Lars Laurell DDS, Dr.Odont, Specialist 

in Periodontology, was born in 1937 

and got his dentist degree from The 

Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden 

in 1962. After 14 years as a general 

dentist in private practice he completed 

his Master’s Degree in Periodontology in 

1978 at the Institute for Postgraduate Dental Education in 

Jönköping, Sweden, where he was appointed senior lecturer, 

consultant. Ever since, he has shared his professional time 

between, specialist training, research and clinical specialist 

practice. 1995-1996 he was visiting lecturer at University 

of Washington, Seattle. 1999 - 2001 he held a position as 

senior lecturer/consultant at the Göteborg University, Faculty 

of Odontology, Department of Periodontology. In 2001 he 

was recruited as senior lecturer/honorary consultant at The 

Eastman Dental Institute, University College London for the 

purpose of co-ordinating the specialist training programme in 

periodontology a position he held until his retirement 2004. 

In 1985 Dr Laurell presented his Dr. Odont (PhD) thesis 

“Occlusal forces and chewing ability in dentitions with crossarch 

bridges” He has published over 60 peer reviewed papers 

in international journals within the fi elds of periodontalprosthodontics, 

epidemiology and periodontal regeneration. 

TOOTH-SUPPORTED PROSTHESIS IN PERIODONTITIS-SUSCEPTIBLE 

INDIVIDUALS 

Management of patients with advanced periodontal disease may 

include extraction and replacement of teeth, with in some cases 

extensive reconstructions, to restore function and aesthetics. 

In such cases, basically three options are available for the 

rehabilitation; a tooth-supported or implant-supported fi xed 

partial denture (FPD’s) or a removable partial denture. Before 

dental implants were available, signifi cantly more effort was 

placed in preserving the teeth. Today, it seems that traditional, 

well-documented and evidence based means to treat periodontal 

diseases, and save teeth are slowly being forgotten or at least 

not always used to their full potential. As a consequence more 

and more teeth, that could have been successfully treated, are 

extracted and replaced with implants in patients suffering from 

moderate to advanced periodontal break-down. This approach 

is based on the assumptions, that implants perform better than 

periodontally compromised teeth and that their longevity is 

independent of the individual’s susceptibility to periodontitis. 

There is, however, increasing evidence that implant treatment 

in periodontitis susceptible individuals has a high risk for failure 

due to development of peri-implantitis. On the other hand it is well 

documented, that properly treated natural teeth with healthy, but 

markedly reduced, periodontal support are capable of carrying 

extensive FPD’s for very long time and with survival rates of 

above 90%, provided the periodontal disease is eradicated and 

prevented from re-occurring. In fact the survival rate of such 

bridges seem to be even better than FPD’s in normal patients. 

This presentation will discuss the protocol and evidence for fi xed 

tooth-supported prosthesis in periodontitis affected individuals.

Copenhagen 

Another inspiring city has been chosen as the location for the EAO 

meeting 2012! Copenhagen will be the perfect place to meet 

colleagues and friends while taking part in one of the world leading 

conferences in the field of implant dentistry. 

Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark and the largest metropolis in 

Scandinavia and is considered as a centre of culture and arts with 

plenty of sightseeing and entertainment activities to offer visitors - 

together with a multitude of shopping facilities and the longest 

pedestrian street system in the world. 

Moreover it has also become an international city with a rich 

commercial and educational environment since Bishop Absalon planned 

to build his citadel to protect the city in the year 1160. 

Almost everybody knows its three most famous attractions in the city: 

the more than 100 year old amusement park Tivoli, the statue of the 

Little Mermaid, and the freetown of Christiania. 

But Copenhagen has a lot more to offer. 

It is the seat of the National Parliament (Folketinget), the Royal 

Residence and Supreme High Court. 

With a history that dates back to 1043 the city is full of historic 

landmarks, significant buildings and interesting sights. Be sure to visit 

Amalienborg Palace – home to the royal family, do a guided canal tour 

on the harbour and walk down the shopping street Strøget.
