Danny; Welcome to the blog. A really good CE course that reviews CBCT in clinical practice is on this site by Dr. Maurice Salama. Take a look, it is well done and gives a nice review of how it can be used for surgery and implants. Good luck Increase Surgical Implant and Regenerative Success by Going 3D and Using Innovative Products Detailed videos using 3D planning software as well as innovative products by a speaker with an extensive background in implant and regenerative surgical procedures. Presented By: Maurice Salama, DMD Presentation Style: Online Course CE Hours: 1 CEU (Continuing Education Unit)

This is my 1st video after joining Dental XP as a premium member. Very exciting presentation about what is possible. How do you use cone beam volumetric imaging?

Thank you for your interest in my lecture. I hope you enjoyed the presentation. The studies of Dr. Lindhe are related to results of animal (dog) studies, where the measurements have been performed after tooth extractions. We expect to have always some bone resorption in the height and the width, which is related to different factors such as bone remodeling, blood supply, elevation of a flap or not, augmentations or not etc. In the presented concept, placing the implants deeper and without removal of the abutments, we have crestal bone stability in case of platform switching. We have used this concept for years and published the first animal and human results. The reality shows today that I am able to have similar results with different implant systems if we have similar requirements. G. Romanos

I enjoyed the presentation and especially appreciated the summation at the end of all of the considerations that one should take with immediate implant placement. My question for Dr. Romanos is this; Could you clearly define your rational for subcrestal placement. Is it predicated on our understanding from Dr Lindhe's article that we will see at least a 1mm loss of buccal plate or is it a combination of this aforementioned fact and the implant and prosthetic design specific to the Ankylos implant.

very well coordinated program by one of the experts in this field, that shows that emphasizes the different aspects to take into account in this incredibly valuable, increasingly predictable approach Excellent documentation and presentation George. . .

Dr. Romanos performs a passionate and clinically relevant presentation on the current standard of Immediate Implant Placement and Loading. A concept of treatment that still remains with some controversy. How many on this blog perform these kind of full arch immediate replacement cases with immediate loading? We do here in Atlanta and have had tremendous success since the mid 1990's and have followed these cases for more than a decade with excellent results. No prosthesis has ever failed and our implant success rivals conventional placement methods. Dr. Salama
