1954 yılında, Söke‘nin bir köyünde doğdum.

1972’de İzmir Maarif Koleji’ni bitirdim. Lise yıllarım Beatles dinleyerek, Yılmaz Güney filmlerini izleyerek geçti. 1978 yılında Marmara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’nden mezun oldum. 1979 yılında Yasemin ile evlendim ve daha sonra kızımız Hazal doğdu... O yıl İstanbul’da ilk muayenehanemi açtım. Seksenlerin sonunda diş implantları yeni ve güvenilir bir tedavi olarak bilinmeye başlamıştı. Profesyonel yaşamımdaki en önemli kararlardan birini aldım ve böylece dişhekimliğinde serüvenim başlamış oldu.. İlk implantımı 1989’da uyguladım. Hâlâ hastamın ağzında, kullanıyor. 1991 yılında ,“International Congress of Oral Implantologists” (ICOI) örgütünce, “fellow” ve 1993 yılında da “diplomat” ünvanı ile belgelendirildim.

1994’te Cosmodent Ağız ve Diş Kliniğini açtım. Öncülerden olmak ve bir inovasyonun farkına varmak güzel bir duygu. Bu bağlamda 2001 yılında Osseointegrasyon Derneği’nin (İmplant Derneği) kurulmasında öncülük ettim ve ilk üç dönem derneğin başkanlığını yürüttüm. 2016 yılında Avrupa Osseointegrasyon Birliği (EAO) yönetim kuruluna seçildim. Gelişmiş eğitim programları sorumlusu olarak etkinlik gösterdim ve EAO’nun 2024 Londra Yıllık Bilimsel Kongre Başkanı olarak seçildim… EAO yönetim kuruluna giren ilk Türk delege olmak ve buradaki görevime EAO Genel sekreteri olarak devam etmek beni gururlandırıyor.

Severely atrophic mandibles present a major challenge in implant rehabilitation. Traditional bone augmentation techniques are invasive, costly, and often contraindicated in elderly or medically compromised patients. This study explores the long-term success of immediate loading of short implants as a minimally invasive alternative.

KEY POINTS:

1. Challenges in Treating Atrophic Mandibles:

•   Loss of alveolar bone with conventional removable prostheses leads to further atrophy.

•   Bone grafting and advanced surgical procedures may not be feasible for all patients.

2. Short Implants and Immediate Loading – A Viable Solution:

Based on the paper: Testori T, iki Clauser T, Scaini R, Wang HL, Del Fabbro M. Long-Term Results of Intraforaminal Immediately Loaded Implants and Posterior Mandibular Regrowth Evaluation in Severely Atrophic Mandibles. Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants. 2022;37:199-207.

•   The study examined 55 patients with Class VI atrophic mandibles rehabilitated with 4–5 short implants (7–8.5 mm) and immediately loaded fixed hybrid prostheses.

•   Results over 14 years showed a 98.4% implant survival rate, with minimal biological complications (3.9% mucositis, 1.3% peri-implantitis).

3. Bone Regeneration in the Posterior Mandible:

•   CBCT analysis in a 10-patient subsample revealed an average posterior bone regrowth of 1.2 mm and an increase in bone density (17%–27%).

•   Wolff’s Law suggests that increased functional loading may stimulate bone formation.

4. Advantages Over Traditional Methods:

•   Less invasive, avoiding grafting procedures and their associated complications.

•   Faster recovery, reduced costs, and improved patient satisfaction with fixed prostheses.

CONCLUSION: 

Immediate loading of short implants in atrophic mandibles offers a predictable, minimally invasive solution with high success rates. This approach not only restores function but may also contribute to posterior bone regeneration, improving long-term outcomes in fully edentulous patients.

This lecture provides an extensive exploration of regenerative techniques specifically designed to enhance soft tissue around dental implants, with a strong emphasis on the pivotal role of soft tissue in ensuring the long-term success of implant therapy. The session will begin by highlighting the critical importance of maintaining healthy soft tissue, which not only contributes to aesthetic outcomes but also supports the functional integrity of the dental implant.

Following this foundational understanding, the lecture will present a variety of clinical scenarios, showcasing different techniques employed in soft tissue enhancement. Detailed discussions will include free gingival grafts, free connective tissue grafts (CTG), and vascularized grafts, each analyzed for its specific applications, benefits, and limitations. Participants will gain insights into various approaches and treatment modalities, including considerations for selecting the appropriate technique based on individual patient needs and clinical situations. The lecture will also address the latest advancements in regenerative techniques, offering a comprehensive overview of how these innovations can be applied to optimize soft tissue regeneration and enhance aesthetic outcomes. This session is designed for dental professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of soft tissue management around dental implants, equipping them with the latest knowledge and skills to improve patient care and outcomes in their practice.

In daily clinical practice, the demand from patients for treatments with high aesthetic and reconstructive standards related to the loss of teeth and their replacement through implant-prosthetic treatments constitutes a demanding challenge for the professional. The changed economic scenarios require the professional to combine reduced treatment times, low costs and low morbidity with a high predictability of long-term duration.

The alveolar bone volumes and their biological response to the procedures to preserve or increase them, the implant positioning determined by the prosthetic requests, the role of soft tissues and the original biotype and the procedures for preserving or increasing the quality and quantity of hard and soft tissues, Socket Shield, Dual Zone Therapy concept and Site Specific Implants in order to obtain stable long-term results and simplify the steps will be examined.

The steps of the different prosthetic phases will be examined starting from the temporary phase contextual to surgery up to the definitive prosthetic phase and the definition of the final architecture of the soft tissues. In this sense, in fact, the conditioning phase with temporary elements through digital techniques is essential in the role of tissue support and should be considered part of the surgical phase.

The lecture will explain the approach for the atrophic maxilla rehabilitation with different solutions depending on atrophy degree, sinus pneumatization and residual alveolar ridge. These data integration allow the clinician to choose different solutions to treat the patient with less invasive surgery and more effective one.

Dental implant therapy has evolved into a predictable and reliable treatment for edentulous and partially edentulous patients. However, improper treatment planning and execution can lead to complications such as peri-implant mucosal recession, peri-implantitis, and even implant failure.

The soft and hard tissue phenotype plays a fundamental role in the long-term success of periodontal and implant therapy. The quality and volume of peri-implant tissues influence esthetic and functional outcomes, impacting peri-implant mucosa and bone stability, and overall treatment predictability.

To ensure long-term success, clinicians must master key principles, including extraction socket management, precise 3D implant positioning, and the enhancement of both soft and hard tissues.

This lecture will present evidence-based protocols for achieving predictable implant outcomes. Topics will include the selection and application of various graft materials, surgical techniques for phenotype modification, and strategies for mitigating implant-related complications.

Zygomatic surgery is a high risk surgery and the clinicians needs to have all the necessary know-how and clinical competence to manage complications during surgery, in the short and long term.

Nevertheless, my 12 years experience shows that Zygomatic surgery can be a clinical practice for dentist with satisfying success rate, giving the opportunity to our patients with severe atrophic maxilla of immediate functional and esthetical restoration.

An anatomical in-depth knowledge of the district, training and a validated surgical protocol are necessary.

- Go true the clinical cases and understand how do we apply these factors into the clinical practice..

By utilizing these techniques, clinicians can provide customized, minimally invasive solutions to restore both function and aesthetics in patients with advanced maxillary atrophy. This presentation will explore the principles, benefits, challenges, and clinical outcomes of these advanced implant techniques, emphasizing their ability to achieve successful rehabilitation outcomes without the need for extensive grafting procedures.

In recent years, there has been a significant rise in the popularity of full arch/full mouth restorations within the field of dentistry. This has led to the emergence of specialized dental clinics that focus specifically on constructing full arches for patients of different ages, including individuals in their early 40s.

This lecture aims to explore important aspects related to full arch restorations, such as the ideal number of implants needed for reconstructing a full arch and the amount of bone reduction required for these procedures. Moreover, it will delve into the distinctions between FP1 and FP3 prostheses, offering insights into their respective advantages, disadvantages, and strategies for overcoming potential challenges.

While FP3 prostheses have demonstrated greater predictability and durability over time, they necessitate more aggressive bone reduction and lack customization. In contrast, FP1 prostheses require less bone reduction but are thinner and more prone to fractures. Understanding the factors that influence the choice between FP1 and FP3 prostheses is essential, as it empowers clinicians to make informed decisions based on the unique needs and preferences of each patient, ultimately leading to optimal outcomes. Both analogue and digital (photogrammetry) prosthetic protocols will be discussed, demonstrated, and evaluated.

By participating in this lecture, attendees will acquire a comprehensive understanding of the All-on-X dilemma and the decision-making process involved in selecting between FP1 and FP3 prostheses for full arch restorations.
