Main Podium Lecture

Multiple Coronally Advanced Flap vs Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel Technique: A Decision-Making Process for Treatment of Multiple Recession Type Defects

For recession coverage, the most studied and cited surgical technique in the literature is the coronally advanced flap with a connective tissue graft (CAF + CTG) as meta-analyses from several systematic reviews showed the greatest potential for recession reduction and complete root coverage. Therefore, the CAF+CTG being the "gold standard" is still the approach of choice so far. However, we can take issue with this statement when we face multiple recessions because of the increased biological and anatomical complexity.

Several surgical techniques for the treatment of multiple recession type defects have been evaluated in different types of studies (RCT, Meta-analyses, systematic reviews) among them the Multiple Coronally Advanced Flap (MCAF) and Multiple Coronally Advanced Tunnel (MCAT). These two techniques showed their capacity to reach the previous objective requirement (i.e. CRC) as long as they are adapted to thoroughly evaluated clinical situations. Therefore, the treatment of multiple recessions with a single surgical technique is a more complex task, since the diversity of anatomical conditions in any single tooth, the wider avascular areas, and the position of the teeth.

Various elements must be taken into account at the initial evaluation. So far, there is no clear distinction in which of them are major or minor determinants and how they influence the surgical choice, and the decision-making process is still a hard task for the surgeon.

The aim of this presentation is to share a decision-making process based on literature and clinical experience to identify the most indicated surgical procedure for the treatment of multiple recession type defects in any particular anatomical conditions.

Learning Objectives:

To understand the biological and anatomical bases of the two most used surgical techniques for multiple recession coverage.
To clearly differentiate the major determinants for the right choice of the surgical procedure.
To learn how to apply the decision-making process to achieve predictable results in the most complex clinical cases.

Main Podium Lecture

Innovative Digital Technologies in 3D Bone and Soft Tissue Grafting: A Scientific and Clinical Update

Bone autograft is still considered the gold standard, but it is also associated with disorders at the site of collection and poor availability. Allografts and xenografts carry the risk of excessive immune reaction. Reconstruction of defects in bone tissue as a surgical procedure is time-consuming and technically difficult. Milling and printing (3D additive manufacturing) of bone and tissue in the specific volume and structure previously 3D planned seem to be the next step.

Oral soft tissue defects are a frequently encountered problem in dental practice. The autologous graft, as the gold standard for gingiva and oral mucosa augmentation, causes prolonged pain, limited harvested tissue, and an increased risk of infection, prompting the search for off-the-shelf alternatives. Several acellular dermal matrices have been studied without satisfactory results. A newly developed collagen-based sponge is currently in clinical studies for long-term evaluation. In these approaches, however, the matrix needs to be tailored chair-side for each specific defect. 3D printing technology represents a promising solution, as it offers precise production of an individualized 3D graft based on a defined shape and inner structure via a specific computer-aided design using a biomaterial of choice.

Learning Objectives:

State-of-the-art virtual planning and digital manufacturing of bone grafting will be shown in science and clinics.
State-of-the-art virtual planning of soft tissue grafting and the newest digital manufacturing technologies will be shown in science and clinics.
An illustration of more advanced digital technologies.

Main Podium Lecture

PRF and Exosomes: A Perfect Marriage in Regenerative Medicine

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been utilized in regenerative medicine and dentistry for nearly 3 decades due to its ability to accelerate both hard and soft tissue regeneration. Today, implant dentists rely on PRF to improve soft tissue healing around grafted/implant sites and to enhance the handling of bone grafting particles. It is worth noting that PRF was FDA-approved in the early 2010s, and it took over a decade for most clinicians to adopt the technology in their practices. Many improvements to the technology have been pioneered within our research and clinical affiliates, providing clinicians with the most effective means possible to produce proper platelet concentrates within their facilities.

Exosomes are the smallest subset of extracellular signaling vesicles secreted by most cells, with a diameter range of 30–150nm. Their use has gained momentum recently due to their potential as therapeutic options. In simple terms, PRF produces roughly 500 publications per year, while exosome research is generating over 5,000 publications annually. This number is expected to dramatically increase as novel therapeutic strategies continue to be investigated.

This lecture will focus first on understanding exosomes, including their cellular origin, biogenesis, function, and characterization. It will then cover their therapeutic potential, with a strong focus on dental applications, as well as the combination of exosomes and PRF in regenerative medicine.

Highlights:

Provide an overview of the top 20 improvements in PRF therapy over the past decade to maximize clinicians' use of the technology.
Provide a general understanding of exosomes and their massive potential to help dentists performing regenerative protocols in implant dentistry and periodontology.
Highlight the use of exosomes and PRF in combination approaches in regenerative medicine.

Main Podium Lecture

The Selective Use of Connective Tissue Graft in Treating Multiple Gingival Recession

The multiple coronally advanced flap (MCAF), proposed by Zucchelli and de Sanctis (2000), has become
the most widely used root coverage procedure for multiple recession defects. It is the first-choice surgical technique in presence of an adequate keratinized tissue width (KTW) apical to the recession and it is very effective with advantages for the patients in terms of aesthetics and morbidity.

The use of a connective tissue graft (CTG) under MCAF has been introduced to increase the predictability of the procedure. The application of CTG is associated with the highest probability to obtain complete root coverage (CRC) as well as with an increase of gingival thickness (GT) and of the KTW over time.

Since very often teeth adjacent to each other present different phenotype, Stefanini et al. (2018)8 in a case
series proposed MCAF with site-specific application of CTG, reporting a significant increase in KTW in the
MCAF + CTG treated-sites compared with baseline.

Learning Objectives:
• A complete understanding of the specific characteristic of multiple recession type lesions
• A clinical and biological explanation of the use of a connective tissue graft
• A new surgical noninvasive technique effectively treat multiple recessions in esthetic areas of the mouth

Main Podium Lecture

My Perspectives on Vertical and Horizontal Augmentation

Vertical and horizontal augmentation presents one of the greatest challenges in bone regeneration for implant dentistry. This is primarily due to the complexity of the surgical procedure and its potential complications. However, it has been demonstrated that successful clinical outcomes can be predictably achieved when strict protocols are followed.

A detailed understanding of clinical anatomy should guide the clinician when managing soft tissue flaps to securely close them and achieve an optimal healing environment for the graft. Graft immobilization and the optimal use of graft materials are essential in achieving bone formation, even at a distance from the bony walls. This presentation will summarize the essential steps of ridge augmentation and provide insights into how clinicians can master these demanding procedures.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the surgical anatomy of the floor of the mouth.
Learn the surgical principles of ridge augmentation surgery.
Learn the tension-free closure of the flaps after vertical ridge augmentation.
Learn soft tissue reconstructions after ridge augmentation.
