Lecture: Predictable Results in Unpredictable Times.

Predictable and Safe Sinus Augmentation

Sinus augmentation remains one of the most technique-sensitive yet indispensable procedures for predictable implant rehabilitation in the posterior maxilla. This presentation traces the evolution of sinus grafting approaches, with a focus on both crestal and lateral techniques supported by long-term follow-up data. Evidence-based protocols will be shared, highlighting the use of advanced biomaterials such as autologous tooth bone, CGF, and the ASAP technique. Specialized surgical kits designed to enhance safety, precision, and predictability will be demonstrated, alongside detailed step-by-step documentation of complex cases with up to ten years of follow-up. Participants will gain practical insights into optimizing treatment planning, minimizing complications, and achieving consistent, reproducible outcomes.

Restoratively Driven Implant Dentistry: Surgical–Prosthetic Interface

Implant dentistry is best approached as the seamless integration of surgery and prosthetics—two sides of the same coin. This session will highlight how meticulous prosthetic planning drives surgical execution, ensuring optimal esthetic, functional, and biological outcomes. By treating the surgical and restorative phases as inseparable, clinicians can improve precision, reduce complications, and deliver restorations that achieve long-term harmony between biological tissue health and mechanical stability. Real-world clinical cases will illustrate how restoratively driven protocols elevate predictability and patient satisfaction, reinforcing the principle that true implant success lies in the synergy of surgical and prosthetic disciplines.
