In this workshop learn to replace using buccal fat pads for zygoma coverage with bone cements. Learn how to suture correctly, to get the most out of your bone cement augmentation. Discuss and perform sinus repair with Augma in an extraction socket, and how to use Augma for sinus augmentation. Utilize Augma in a tunnel approach, and more.

This workshop will be a hands-on opportunity to learn techniques for using bone cements in a way that will streamline your full arch (all-on-x) procedures.
We will review bone reduction protocols, implant positioning, autogenous grafting vs bone cement grafting.
We will use models to demonstrate the ideal placement and closure for bone cements in the full arch setting.
We will review the timing of when to graft within your workflow, and contrast traditional grafting techniques.

The aesthetic zone can be very challenging due to surgical and prosthetic requirements. We should be able to reconstruct the missing bone volume for optimal implant positioning, in addition we need to strive to obtain a perfect soft tissue appearance. The ultimate position of the papillae is crucial here, especially in cases with a high smile line.
In this hands-on workshop the participant will be trained how to use bone cement to confront different augmentation challenges in the aesthetic zone. Optimal results will become repeatable and predictable, assured in a very simple and safe way. Avoid the past known, post-operative, traditional complications, without any need of complex soft tissue manipulation or membrane coverage.

Welcome Reception pre main symposium scientific program. Including an open bar and a few words of welcome from ABCA president, Dr. Yahav Amos.

This lecture will discuss the long way we’ve come from the first use of bone cements and the start of the bone cements surgical protocols. This journey resulted in high predictability and a success rate of over 95%, with almost zero complications. The deep understanding of Biphasic Calcium Sulfate allowed us to stretch the limits of augmentation, thereby discovering a plethora of new cases, advancements, and upgrades. The future is bright with the developments of surgical protocols for peri-implantitis and vertical augmentation on the horizon.

Bone cements have rapidly gained favor in the reality of oral grafting procedures. The utility of cements as a grafting option has proven to be very versatile. We will explore the use of bone cements in very simple to very complex bone regenerative cases.
Learning Objectives:
• Understand the concept of the “osteo-periosteal” flap and the potential role of bone cement
• Be able to discuss possible solutions to vertical grafting
• Explain the role of bone cement in immediate, Ao4 type cases

In today’s world patients and practitioners are looking for more predictable, minimally disruptive treatments. We will discuss how Bone cements and digital technology can take you to a realm of predictability like never before.

A very common problem in our daily cases is the lack of bone. Bone loss, narrow ridge, vestibular defect, loss of width... numerous words and few solutions! As Dentist or Implantologists, we are all deeply concerned by a vestibular defect or a narrow ridge. This bone problem can definitely change the global treatment planning. For years, we used to preserve the crest or to gain some volume through difficult and hazardous surgeries with membrane, screws, autogenous graft, PRF and long healing time. The results were aleatory and dubious. Now, thanks to biphasic calcium sulfate, we have the ability to maintain or to regenerate an impressive bone width. Today, it’s obvious to all that lateral augmentation using biphasic calcium sulfate is a new facet of Guided Bone Regeneration techniques affordable to all practitioners. With a simple and clear protocol, this type of surgery leads to a bio active bone and to an enlarged crest designed for implant placement. The second part of this lecture will be addressed to the general practitioner, and demonstrate the surprising abilities of biphasic calcium sulfate in the context of classical surgeries. The regenerative qualities of this material changed and simplified the surgical approach of many daily surgeries. The post-operative bone collapse following wisdom teeth extraction maybe now effectively compensate with this new material. Full ridge preservation and immediate loading can be achieved with this new material. Oro-antral communication closure can be obtained through a simple protocol. A new approach of surgeries for patients under treatment with bisphosphonates can be considered. Many uses that are likely to bring exceptional results in routine surgeries.

When a patient comes into your office what is the main thing he is urging for: Implants? Bone grafting? Teeth? No! He wants to raise his self-esteem, to look better and to project that in his everyday life. In fact, when the patient undergoes a simple or complex oral surgery, they do this expecting to increase their general well being and not only their oral health. Nowadays, it's an undeniable truth that our work, love life and all the types of social interaction are directly linked to our aesthetical appearance, and one of the most important cornerstones is the way our smile looks. For that reason, we have a professional obligation as clinicians to give back that long-awaited smile not only in the best clinical and technical way possible but also in the fastest way possible. Luckily, today we have a wide range of technical options and materials that allow us to go in the right direction from day one. The purpose of this lecture will be to show a set of clinical cases and therapeutic options in different clinical situations, in which all have as common point the placement of immediate implants, immediate bone grafting and immediate loading, always trying to restore the patient's well-being in only one surgery with the shorter surgical time possible.

The objective of this lecture is to provide mostly practical, but also theoretical, knowledge through detailed clinical cases as to the management of dental implants using Augma Bone Cements.

This presentation will discuss practical applications of bone graft cement in minor oral surgery and implant surgery. The presentation will cover incorporation of bone graft cement in socket grafting, lateral grafting, vertical sinus lift application, immediate implant placement and more. This is a practical presentation to allow the clinician quick incorporation of bone graft cement into one’s practice.

The lecture presents several dozen cases of surgical treatment of small and large odontogenic cysts (one and two steps procedure), benign tumors of the jaws and alveolar ridge reconstruction. In this endodontic microsurgery treatment techniques were used as well as augmentation of all bone defects with Bond Apatite graft. Up to 3 years in the radiological and clinical follow-up good stability of the graft, normal remodeling and formation of the new bone tissue. Moreover, stability of resected teeth and soft tissue were observed. Each cyst and tumor was histopathologically examined.

The lecture will focus on site preparation with bone cement for future placement of short implants. The utilization of bone cements to augment a site, and short implants will provide the practitioner with a minimally invasive approach to restoring the patient’s missing dentition.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lecture the participant will:
Understand how to achieve socket preservation with bone cement in anticipation of placing dental implants.
Recognize the predictability and advantages of short implants.
Describe the steps in treating the patient with bone cements and short implants.

This presentation aims to bring you our clinical experience in Implant Dentistry with the use of Bond Apatite cement, from "A" as augmentation, to "Z" as Zygomatic implants surgery. Augma biomaterial is an excellent option for clinical daily usage, and it is expected that new applications will emerge in recent years.

The lecture will cover a University of Barcelona clinical study, and the histology of several cases.

This lecture will provide a comparison between bone cement techniques.

Suturing is the last and final step of the surgical protocol. It requires concentration and tension. Nevertheless, sutures will condition the success of your intervention, protecting the graft material and the wound. Sutures will determine the healing of the gingiva, which will allow a long-term result. Using new materials (Biphasic Calcium Sulfate, collagen sponge, wound dressing) and new protocols (socket grafting, lateral augmentation, apicoectomy, ridge preservation) requires the implementation of new suturing techniques. Lack of attached gingiva is a very common issue after such surgical protocols. A simple flap with efficient sutures may solve this problem.

Learning objectives:
• Train yourself to realize and choose the correct stitching technique.
• Master suturing procedures and techniques.
• Protect the graft material.
• Stitch the wound dressing.
• Reposition and maintain the gingiva.
• Create new attached gingiva after healing and implant placement.

For each technique, a demonstration will be shown and explained on a tv screen (tv, video) by the expert. Participants work in pairs, while an expert walks around explaining the tricks. Simple cross stitches, continuous stitches, collagen sponge and Ora aid, and attached gingiva.
