The creation of an aesthetic smile with a gingival architecture in harmony with the adjacent dentition remains the final objective in dentistry.  The challenge in perio-implantology is to manage the hard/soft tissue complex and to be as close as possible to the natural smile appearance of the patient in the aesthetic zone.  The process of soft and hard tissue healing must be understood and incorporated into a carefully coordinated sequence of therapy.

The soft tissue aspect following implant treatment in the anterior zone called the “Pink Esthetic” is the most sensitive point and the one that presents the most challenges. Therefore the preservation or the reconstruction of a natural aesthetic gingival presents a major task in implantology.

The essential prerequisites in order to establish an optimal harmonious aesthetic result should always remain a precise, comprehensive biological and prosthetic diagnosis as well as the choice of the most conservative, appropriate, and least traumatic treatment for the patient to achieve a successful aesthetic outcome, always based on scientific evidence.

A major evolution in perio-implantology has taken place with less invasive surgery, and more sophisticated approaches. The utilisation of new bio-engineering materials, and new strategies using digital flow, have modified the surgical approaches.

The final aesthetic predictability to obtain an optimal PES and WES in all clinical gingival and implant procedures involves a delicate surgical approach and precise restorative dexterity to achieve an optimal aesthetic for tooth or implant restoration surrounded by its natural gingival environment in harmony with the adjacent teeth.

He has received the French Medal of “Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Merite”.

An internationally renowned lecturer in Aesthetic Periodontology and Implantology, Dr Saadoun has written over 150 articles and several book chapters. He was recently a contributing author in the books entitled: The Art of the Smile, The Art of Treatment Planning and recently Ridge Preservation—Updates and Innovations.

He was also Associate Editor of Implant Site Development published in May 2012.

His book on Soft Tissue Management on Teeth and Implants has been published in December 2012 and translated into Russian in August 2013 and into Italian in July 2014.

He is also on the Editorial Board of scientific journals including Practical Procedures and Aesthetic Dentistry, Implant Dentistry, Dental Implantology Update, Journal of Periodontology, European Journal of Esthetic Dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, European Journal of General Dentistry, Journal de Paro-Implantologie Orale. In addition, Dr Saadoun is a Faculty member of the Global Institute of Dental Education (Los Angeles) and a Faculty member of the Dental XP Program of Education (Atlanta).

Dr Saadoun maintains a private practice in Paris, which is limited to Aesthetic Periodontics and Implant Surgery.

The primary aims in modern dentistry are to ensure the health and safety of patients, while meeting their clinical and personal needs. Demands are extremely high on the clinician to provide excellent dental implant services, whether they are an experienced provider or relatively new to implant therapy – patients often expect them to achieve close to 100% success.

A new era of digital implant dentistry is here. Cutting-edge CAD/CAM technologies in oral surgery and prosthodontics enhance the 3D diagnosis and treatment planning process. The decision-making and the virtual surgical and prosthetic treatments can therefore now be duplicated in practice following a minimally invasive philosophy. The novel integrated digital workflow, in particular, enhances the 3D visualisation of the bone and soft tissue architectures, merging the anatomical needs with the patient requirements for a natural-looking restoration and facial rejuvenation. 

Professor Pozzi’s lecture will provide a comprehensive review of the latest digital workflow used to carry out all clinical procedures related to implant therapy. He will highlight the benefits achievable through the use of guided planning, guided laboratory procedures and guided surgeries, while maintaining the fundamental principles of osseointegration. The lecture will walk delegates through an amazing treatment journey of the partial edentate and fully edentulous patient. His ten years of scientifically proven experience and clinical follow-up in guided surgery and CAD/CAM restorations will be shared with the audience to support clinical protocols, and he will offer practical tips and tricks with case studies demonstrating each clinical scenario. 

Learning Objectives

At the end of Professor Pozzi’s lecture, delegates will have achieved the following:

• Broadened their knowledge of hard and soft tissue surgical management.
• Explored the advantages and disadvantages of guided surgical techniques and immediate implant placement and loading to enhance clinical outcomes and better establish when immediate loading is feasible.
• Developed their understanding on how to incorporate 3D implant planning software into daily practice with a focus on aesthetically demanding cases.

Professor Pozzi was formally trained in the inter-related areas of implant surgery, prosthodontics and laboratory technology. He personally performs both surgical and prosthetic parts of the implant treatment. His expertise focuses primarily on integrated digital workflow in implant dentistry, computer guided surgery and prosthodontics with CAD/CAM technology. Professor Pozzi has been carrying out clinical research to validate cutting edge digital technologies, novel implant design, and minimally invasive immediate implant rehabilitation concepts. As a researcher, he has been selected to receive the 2013 Judson C. Hickey Scientific Writing Award.

Formerly Research Scientist and Professor of Oral Rehabilitation at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, he currently holds the Interim Chair of Oral Surgery-Implantology at the Marche Polytechnic University, Italy. Faculty Member of the advanced clinical training program in Surgical Implant Dentistry at the UCLA University in Los Angeles and Guest Lecturer in Continuing Education.

He has been teaching both specialisation courses and masters programs worldwide and in his own practice in Rome and has lectured at several international congresses.
