 MINIMALLY INVASIVE ALTERNATIVES TO IMPLANT PLACEMENTÂ
Dr Francesc Abella
The program is designed and open to any profile of dentist who wants to expand their vision of saving teeth and establish reliable digital protocols to carry out all these procedures.
Summary:
MINIMALLY INVASIVE ALTERNATIVES TO IMPLANT PLACEMENT:
AUTOTRANSPLANTATION AND INTENTIONAL REPLANTATION.
BENEFITS OF DIGITAL IN THE APPROACH OF CALCIFIED CANALS AND DURING ENDODONTIC MICROSURGERY.
DIGITAL PLANNING HANDS-ON
Tooth autotransplantation consists of extracting a tooth from its original position to place it in an edentulous area of ​​the same individual. A successfully transplanted tooth can behave exactly like any other tooth, which is why this technique has become a viable treatment option to replace a tooth with a poor prognosis, or directly to replace a missing tooth.
During the presentation we will address a multitude of cases, both donor teeth with open apex and closed apex, and we will teach step by step to follow a strict protocol that will lead us to success. We will show from the most classic techniques to the most current ones in which we use digital planning, 3D replicas and guided splints to be more precise and reduce the extraoral time of the donor tooth. At the end of the presentation, we will dedicate a few minutes to the most advanced or complex cases, such as cases of autotransplantation of impacted canines or with simultaneous elevation of the maxillary sinus.
However, the autotransplantation technique includes two additional procedures that we will also discuss, namely surgical extrusion and intentional replantation. These two procedures can also be applied to treat different types of resorptions.
For a long time many of you have been asking how to design a guided splint for calcified canals, how to perform an apical surgery guided by trephine or piezoelectric, how to segment a donor tooth for an autotransplant, if a certain CBCT or intraoral scanner is useful, etc. LEARN in a simple step-by-step manner all these procedures.
The current CAD/CAM applications in Endodontics CANNOT leave you BEHIND. Do you feel that the digital flow train is passing you by? You still have time to catch it! Put your fears aside and learn the basics of designing and printing your digital endodontic cases: calcified canals, tooth segmentation, autotransplantation, and apical surgeries will be the topics that we will develop.
Each attendee will be able to DESIGN three cases from start to finish.

Dr Francesc Abella
Dr. Francesc Abella graduated in 2005 in dentistry at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (Barcelona), Spain. From 2005 to 2014 he completed his Master Degree and PhD doctoral Degree in Endodontic at Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Spain. Currently, he is Professor and the Director of the European Master's Degree in Endodontics (program accredited by the European Society of Endodontology).
Dr. Abella has given several lectures, courses and hands-on courses worldwide and he also works in a private practice limited to endodontics and restorative dentistry in Barcelona. In clinical endodontics his areas of special interest include cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in Endodontics, microcomputed tomography, dental anatomy, dental traumatology, periapical pathology, adhesive restorations, restoration of root-canal-treated teeth, and autotransplantion and replantation techniques.
Beside his work in private practice he is lecturing on Endodontics throughout Spain and other countries, is actually involved in endodontic research projects in the post-graduate endodontic program of the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Spain. He is author of several papers in peer-reviewed journals. Part of the expert committee convened by the European Society of Endodontology (ESE) on the use of CBCT. Dr. Abella is also an active member of the Spanish Association of Endodontics (AEDE) and currently secretary of the Spanish Society of Conservative and Aesthetic Dentistry (SEOC).
