The first webinar will be presented by Dr Anthony Deliberato, who maintains a private practice in Westlake in Ohio in the US, specialising in fixed, removable and implant prosthodontics. In his webinar, he will review the digital protocols developed in order to use Straumann’s Smile in a Box treatment planning and manufacturing service to simplify the surgical and restorative procedures necessary to deliver full-arch restorations. Deliberato will discuss how dental professionals can identify patients who would benefit from an immediate full-arch implant-supported restoration and will demonstrate a protocol that employs a surgical guide to place implants and deliver full-arch protheses on the day of surgery.

Deliberato’s webinar, titled “Improving full-arch implant outcomes with outsourced treatment planning and guide design”, will be broadcast live on Thursday, 21 May, at 1 a.m. CEST.

BLX in challenging clinical situations

According to Dr Sergio Piano, BLX implants represent the best option for immediate implant placement and immediate loading. Thanks to computer-guided surgery, these procedures are being further advanced in terms of precision, predictability and high-quality outcomes, especially with regard to favourable aesthetic results. Piano, a dental surgeon and prosthodontist who heads a private practice in Genoa in Italy, will demonstrate the value of computer-guided implantology for the success of implant-supported rehabilitation. In addition, dental professionals will learn about the importance of BLX implants in improving insertion torque and implant stability and how BLX implants can be placed with a fully guided approach and immediately loaded, even in challenging clinical situations.

The webinar, titled “BLX implants with a fully guided approach”, will be broadcast live on Wednesday, 3 June, at 5 p.m. CEST.
