ZBLC – How to Develop and Maintain Crestal Bone Stability? (Zero Bone Loss Concepts)
Implant dentistry has undergone significant advancements in recent years, making it a viable option for many patients who have lost teeth due to injury, disease or other reasons. Dental implants are popular because they provide a long-lasting, natural-looking solution to tooth loss. However, implant placement and restoration requires specialized knowledge, skill and experience.
The ZBLC (Zero Bone Loss Concepts) MasterClasses is a series of 12 videos that provide a comprehensive guide to implant dentistry. The videos cover a range of topics from implant placement to prosthetic restoration, with a focus on the Zero Bone Loss philosophy. This philosophy emphasizes the importance of preserving bone and soft tissue around dental implants to prevent complications such as peri-implantitis and implant failure.
The videos are presented by Dr. Tomas Linkevicius, a world-renowned implantologist who is known for his expertise in implant dentistry and his contributions to the field of biomaterials research. Dr. Linkevicius is also the founder of the ZBLC (Zero Bone Loss Concepts) educational platform.
Here is a breakdown of the topics covered in each video:
- Zero bone loss concepts – harmony of biology and implant design factors (1:34:09) This video provides an introduction to the Zero Bone Loss philosophy and its importance in implant dentistry. It discusses the factors that contribute to bone loss around dental implants, including biological and implant design factors. The video also covers the different types of implant designs and materials available and their impact on bone preservation.
- How to place implants according to Zero bone loss concepts philosophy? (45:15) This video provides a step-by-step guide to implant placement according to the Zero Bone Loss philosophy. It covers important factors such as implant placement depth, angulation, and spacing, as well as soft tissue management techniques to preserve peri-implant tissues.
- Increasing vertical soft tissue thickness. Subcrestal implant placement (1:37:50) This video discusses techniques for increasing vertical soft tissue thickness around dental implants. It covers subcrestal implant placement, which involves placing the implant deeper into the bone to preserve soft tissue height. The video also covers soft tissue grafting techniques and their impact on soft tissue thickness.
- Flattening of the bone and tent-pole technique (1:08:53) This video covers the flattening of the bone technique, which involves flattening the bone around the implant to preserve bone height. It also covers the tent-pole technique, which involves placing multiple implants in close proximity to support a larger restoration.
- Vertical soft tissue augmentation with various soft tissues grafts (1:08:23) This video covers different soft tissue grafting techniques to increase the thickness and quality of peri-implant tissues. It discusses various soft tissue graft materials and their indications for use, as well as the surgical techniques used for graft placement.
- How to make safe cemented restorations? (1:59:32) This video covers the challenges and techniques involved in cement-retained implant restorations. It discusses the importance of avoiding excess cement around the implant, which can contribute to peri-implantitis. The video also covers different cement types and their properties.
- Screw-retained Ti-base restorations. Single, angulated, FPDs and full-arch (1:41:07) This video covers the use of screw-retained implant restorations and their advantages over cement-retained restorations. It covers the different types of screw-retained restorations available, including single-tooth restorations, angled abutments, and full-arch restorations.
- Important aspects of ret entive and gingival parts of Ti-bases (54:47) This video discusses the important aspects of the retentive and gingival parts of Ti-bases, which play a crucial role in the success of implant restorations. It covers the different types of Ti-bases available and their indications for use, as well as the importance of proper design and fabrication.
- Subgingival materials – zirconia, lithium disilicate, porcelain or other? (2:13:14) This video covers the different subgingival materials used in implant restorations, including zirconia, lithium disilicate, porcelain and others. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each material and their indications for use.
- Supragingival materials for implant restorations (40:52) This video covers the different supragingival materials used in implant restorations, including porcelain, composite and hybrid materials. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each material and their indications for use.
- Surgical hands-ons. Vertical soft tissue thickening methods (35:30) This video provides a hands-on demonstration of the different surgical techniques used for vertical soft tissue thickening around dental implants. It covers the different soft tissue grafting techniques and their surgical principles.
- Prosthetic hands-ons. Bite registration material to increase transfer stability (17:11) This video provides a hands-on demonstration of the techniques used for bite registration in implant restorations. It covers the importance of transfer stability and the use of different materials to achieve it.
Overall, the ZBLC MasterClasses provide a comprehensive guide to implant dentistry with a focus on the Zero Bone Loss philosophy. The videos cover a range of topics from implant placement to prosthetic restoration, with hands-on demonstrations and detailed discussions of the latest techniques and materials used in the field. The ZBLC MasterClasses are an invaluable resource for any dentist or dental professional looking to expand their knowledge and expertise in implant dentistry.
