LUCERNE, Switzerland: In his invitation to the sixth Swiss Biomaterial Days congress, chairman Prof. Walter Lückerath emphasised the obligation of the dental profession to ensure that treatment is as minimally invasive as possible for the patient. Consistent with this call, the international congress recently held in Lucerne in Switzerland offered insights on the latest developments in the field.
The topics addressed at the event included modifications to existing surgical and clinical methods to simplify the preservation of the alveolar ridge and reduce adverse effects of the procedure. Subperiosteal tunnelling, among other methods, has proved useful in this regard, as demonstrated by German dentist Dr Karl-Heinz Heuckmann. Speakers from India and Spain showed that immediate implant placement can reduce the number of surgical interventions significantly, and other presentations covered the microscopic structures of peri-implant hard tissue after augmentation with bone grafts and non-surgical approaches to periodontal treatment in patients with systemic diseases.
Participants agreed that minimally invasive concepts should include new surgical approaches, including those adopted from general medicine, such as small incisions and endoscopy, that may complement or replace invasive procedures.
More than 150 dental professionals from all over Europe attended the event, which was held under the theme “Less is more” and was organised by GUIDOR, a line of products for oral rehabilitation offered by provider of oral care products Sunstar, and Oemus Media, a large German publisher in dentistry. A pre-congress course on the GUIDOR Bioresorbable Matrix Barrier, a material used in periodontal tissue regeneration, complemented the main programme.
