Surgical Concepts to Handle Esthetic Failures in Implant Patients

The videos in this 5-DVD set present the surgical concepts used to treat the most common esthetic failures, such as malpositioned implants, facial bone defects, or a combination of both. Techniques shown include the reverse torque technique to remove osseointegrated implants without flap elevation, full-thickness mucosal grafts to reestablish missing keratinized mucosa, and bone augmentation using locally harvested autogenous bone chips combined with a xenogeneic low-substitution bone filler and covered by a resorbable collagen membrane. In addition, the videos depict patient retreatment with new implant therapy, with a focus on correct 3D implant positioning and local bone augmentation using GBR for successful, esthetic outcomes.
