It is a great privilege to introduce the 2021 BSP conference focusing on hard and soft tissue regeneration. A parallel session addressing the clinical challenges of peri-implant diseases by a panel of experts is also organised for Sunday. With the additional sponsored hands on workshops and lectures on both topics that will take place on each day of the congress, I am certain that this will be an excellent event for specialists, general practitioners and hygienists/therapists.

Will short dental implant be the standard implant in the clinical practise? Will short dental implant be the standard implant in the clinical practise? BTI Biotechnology Institute - Gold Sponsored Lecture The success of implant therapy is an integrative and cumulative as well as multifactorial process. This process is put in challenge when short dental implants are selected. A careful dissection of the implant characteristics, the biology of bone and gingival tissue as well as the biomechanics is needed to establish certain clinical guidelines when short dental implants are used. To discuss the relevance of short dental implants in the rehabilitation of partially/completely edentulous patients with implant-supported prosthesis. 1. To understand the predictability of short dental implants: the harmonized integration of tissue, implant and prosthesis. 2. To show the implant selection as the key to success: the pillars for the bridge. 3. To discuss the current clinical protocol and guidelines for the use short implants in implant dentistry. 1. To acquire clinical guidelines for the use of short implants: integration of the biomechanics in the treatment planning. 2. To develop a decision making process on the loading protocol (immediate Vs delayed) and the selection of the prosthesis. 3. To have outlined the concepts that best fit with a predictable treatment.

Part 1. Accept - technological solutions to reduced bone volume and their implications Straumann - Diamond Sponsored Lecture Part 1. Many patients (and perhaps especially patients who have lost teeth due to periodontal disease) present with marked resorption of the alveolar ridge and reduced available bone volume for implant placement, be this localised to a small region or generalised resorption of the entire arch. Many potential solutions are available, but where should the line be drawn between biology and technology when selecting appropriate treatment modalities for patients? This lecture will consider not only the choices available to us, but also the potential impact, both short and long term, of various hard tissue augmentation procedures compared to technological solutions for dealing with implant-supported rehabilitation in situations of reduced bone volume. At the end of this presentation delegates will: Understand the everyday clinical practicalities in different treatment approaches to resorbed alveolar ridges Understand the ongoing biological implications of making different treatment decisions GDC Development Outcome C Dr Stephen Barter Dr Stephen Barter Dr Stephen is an oral surgeon at Perlan Specialist Centre, Eastbourne, UK as part of a multidisciplinary team, working primarily in the field of implant reconstruction and regenerative surgery.

3:45 pm	PRF for bone regeneration PRF for bone regeneration Leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF), a second generation platelet concentrate and completely different from PRP, is an autologous blood derived product, which can be obtained, quickly and at low cost. L-PRF is produced from peripheral blood, which is immediately centrifuged without any anticoagulant. L-PRF is rich in fibrin, platelets (± 90% of initial blood) and leucocytes (± 70% of initial blood), an can be transformed into strong membranes circa 1 mm in thickness. L-PRF membranes releases large amounts of growth factors for a long period (up to 7 days) and they possess an antibacterial capacity. As such L-PRF membranes offer “significant” and “clinically relevant” advantages in several indications including: healing of non-responding wounds, ridge preservation, sinus augmentation, horizontal/vertical bone augmentation and osseointegration. The aim of this presentation is to provide basic information on the content of L-PRF and on its clinical benefits in dento-alveolar surgery.

9:00 am	Soft tissue regeneration around teeth Soft tissue regeneration around teeth Evidence-based data derived from studies document the successful outcome after soft tissue regeneration around teeth. On the other hand, reliable scientific data also confirm the huge variability of the results based on the individual performer. This becomes more evident the more technically-sensitive the intervention is. In periodontal plastic surgery the focus still is too much on flap design, mobilization and fixation than on the human factors, means on the human-instrument interface in terms of the psychological, physical, biological and safety characteristics of the user and the system the user is in. It is the goal of the present lecture to provide participants with an insight into the key aspects how to improve surgical skills and how to apply them in periodontal soft tissue surgeries in order to reduce technical errors, to improve performance and to make performance consistent. Based on different clinical cases, aspect such as applied forces to the flap, touch perception with the instrument, impact of the vascularity of the wound bed and how all the factors are interrelated, will be discussed. The key question is not what we do but how we do it. the participants know about the relationship of applied forces on wound margins and the possible effects on wound healing in periodontal plastic surgery the participants become aware of the importance of training on bench models in order to be able to differentiate tensions in wound closures (they know appropriate models) the participants recognize the impact on surgical instrument design on touch processing located beyond the body Dr Rino Burkhardt Dr Rino Burkhardt Dr Rino Burkhardt graduated from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and received his doctorate from the Medical Faculty of the same University.

9:45 am	Use of Xenografts for Soft Tissue Regeneration at Teeth and Dental Implants Use of Xenografts for Soft Tissue Regeneration at Teeth and Dental Implants Soft tissue regeneration at teeth and dental implants is still a challenge for the clinician. At natural teeth, various surgical techniques such as the coronally advanced flap (CAF) or the modified coronally advanced tunnel in conjunction with of autogenous soft tissue grafts have been shown to yield predictable clinical outcomes and long-term stability. Increasing evidence also indicates that at dental implants, the presence of an adequate width of attached mucosa (AM) may lead to better soft and hard tissue stability, lower plaque accumulation, less soft tissue recession and lower incidence of peri-implant mucositis. Therefore, a minimal width of a stable (e.g. non-mobile) peri-implant mucosa appears to be essential to ensure long-term peri-implant tissue health. However, autogenous tissue harvesting is often associated with increased patient morbidity, prolonged surgical time and the possibility of postoperative complications such as bleeding, numbness and sensibility changes in the donor area. Moreover, in many clinical situations, autogenous graft harvesting is limited by various anatomical factors such as thickness of the palatal mucosa, presence of palatal recessions and location of the palatal artery. In order to overcome these limitations, during the last decade, a number of xenografts have been developed to replace or minimize the need for autogenous grafts. The present lecture will provide an overview on the available scientific and clinical evidence on the use of xenografts for soft tissue regeneration at teeth and dental implants. To provide the biologic rationale and treatment philosophy for the use of xenografts in soft tissue reconstructive surgery at teeth and dental implants.

Results from preclinical and clinical studies have pointed to the important role of an enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD) (Emdogain) in periodontal wound healing. Animal and human histological studies have provided evidence for the capacity of Emdogain to promote periodontal regeneration in intrabony defects, furcations and recession-type defects. Results from randomized controlled clinical studies have indicated that the application of Emdogain may significantly improve treatment outcomes and long-term stability. In complex, non-contained type defects, the combination of Emdogain and different types of bone grafting materials may additionally improve the clinical outcomes. The lecture will review the existing evidence on the effects of EMD upon periodontal wound healing/regeneration and draw clinically relevant conclusions. 1. To provide the biological background necessary to understand the rational for the use of EMD for periodontal regeneration. 2.

Why do things go wrong when placing implants in the zone of esthetic priority Why do things go wrong when placing implants in the zone of esthetic priority Geistlich - Platinum Sponsored Lecture Sunday Despite scientific efforts to shed light on the causative aspects of esthetic failures, the many congresses and courses focusing on esthetics and implants, and publications aimed at educating clinicians, altered esthetic results after placement of implant-supported reconstructions in the upper anterior area still do occur. The answer, why this happens, is complex and it seems naïve to believe that just summarizing the available scientific evidence in the specific subject area is enough to achieve the promising esthetic results shown at implant congresses and in glossy brochures. The efficacy of the treatment and the quality of the decisions taken by the clinician cannot be determined from the result. Only too often, we assume that a decision that led to a good clinical result was a good decision. Rarely do we review whether the initial prognosis was correct. It is the goal of this workshop to shed light on the causative aspects of esthetic failures. Illustrated by many clinical cases, the participant will experience how an array of non-technical skills (cognitive and social ones), although their importance is being increasingly recognized, is still poorly integrated in teaching and assessment with technical skills and leading to adverse esthetic outcomes. the participants know about the techniques of debiasing in order to reduce the common cognitive errors in periodontal and implant surgery the participants become aware of the importance of patient information and know the concepts of shared decision making the participants learn to critically review the literature results (periodontal plastic surgery) and improve their metacognitive skills Dr Rino Burkhardt Dr Rino Burkhardt Dr Rino Burkhardt graduated from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and received his doctorate from the Medical Faculty of the same University.

12:45 pm	Corporate Sessions Emdogain: From Biologic Principles to Clinical Application Emdogain: From Biologic Principles to Clinical Application Straumann - Diamond Sponsored Lecture Sunday The goal of regenerative periodontal therapy is the reconstitution of the lost periodontal structures (i.e. formation of new cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone). Results from preclinical and clinical studies have pointed to the important role of an enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD) (Emdogain) in periodontal wound healing. Animal and human histological studies have provided evidence for the capacity of Emdogain to promote periodontal regeneration in intrabony defects, furcations and recession-type defects. Results from randomized controlled clinical studies have indicated that the application of Emdogain may significantly improve treatment outcomes and long-term stability. In complex, non-contained type defects, the combination of Emdogain and different types of bone grafting materials may additionally improve the clinical outcomes. The lecture will review the existing evidence on the effects of EMD upon periodontal wound healing/regeneration and draw clinically relevant conclusions. 1. To provide the biological background necessary to understand the rational for the use of EMD for periodontal regeneration. 2. To present animal and human histological evidence of periodontal regeneration following EMD application. 3. To provide clinically relevant indications for the use of EMD. 4. To present future avenues of research including the use of EMD.

Regeneration is first preservation with ultrasonic devices Regeneration is first preservation with ultrasonic devices Acteon - Platinum Sponsored Lecture We all are looking for a “magic” material to regenerate lost tissue. But first we should try to preserve tissue, not only by keeping teeth longer, but also when needed, to use a less traumatic way for extractions or bone surgery and to stimulate the body's regeneration capacity. Ultrasonic scalers and piezosurgery devices are easy to use and allow tissue preservation for better regeneration.

Why do things go wrong when placing implants in the zone of esthetic priority Why do things go wrong when placing implants in the zone of esthetic priority Geistlich - Platinum Sponsored Lecture Sunday Despite scientific efforts to shed light on the causative aspects of esthetic failures, the many congresses and courses focusing on esthetics and implants, and publications aimed at educating clinicians, altered esthetic results after placement of implant-supported reconstructions in the upper anterior area still do occur. The answer, why this happens, is complex and it seems naïve to believe that just summarizing the available scientific evidence in the specific subject area is enough to achieve the promising esthetic results shown at implant congresses and in glossy brochures. The efficacy of the treatment and the quality of the decisions taken by the clinician cannot be determined from the result. Only too often, we assume that a decision that led to a good clinical result was a good decision. Rarely do we review whether the initial prognosis was correct. It is the goal of this workshop to shed light on the causative aspects of esthetic failures. Illustrated by many clinical cases, the participant will experience how an array of non-technical skills (cognitive and social ones), although their importance is being increasingly recognized, is still poorly integrated in teaching and assessment with technical skills and leading to adverse esthetic outcomes. the participants know about the techniques of debiasing in order to reduce the common cognitive errors in periodontal and implant surgery the participants become aware of the importance of patient information and know the concepts of shared decision making the participants learn to critically review the literature results (periodontal plastic surgery) and improve their metacognitive skills Dr Rino Burkhardt Dr Rino Burkhardt Dr Rino Burkhardt graduated from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and received his doctorate from the Medical Faculty of the same University.

2:30 pm	Alveolar ridge preservation: Why? When? & How? Alveolar ridge preservation: Why? When? & How? The extensive resorption of the alveolar ridge following tooth extraction is a major problem for later prosthetic reconstruction. Various ridge preservation techniques based on the immediate filling of post-extraction socket with bone grafts or substitutes in combination or not with a barrier membrane and/ or sift tissue grafts have been suggested in order to maintain ridge dimensions and contour and to facilitate the placement of an implant that satisfies aesthetic and functional demands. However, some clinicians believe that such procedures are more of an “over-treatment” than a real solution since these techniques may not able to reverse the bundle bone resorption and delays the total treatment time. This presentation will discuss the current clinical & histologic evidence in order to provide a better understanding of the rationale and the clinical value of using ridge preservation techniques and it will present research work of our group on different materials and techniques for ridge preservation and extraction site soft tissue management. To present the current evidence on the clinical rational and indications for alveolar ridge preservation and discuss clinical and histologic outcomes following the utilization of different techniques and materials. To present and discuss the effectiveness of ARP based on systemic evaluation of the current evidence.

3:15 pm	Short/narrow implants: New clinical perspectives Short/narrow implants: New clinical perspectives The future trend in modern implant therapies is to reduce invasiveness and increase predictability of treatments. The use of short or narrow diameter implants can reduce the invasiveness of the treatment, the therapy costs and the stress level of the clinicians. The question remains whether short or narrow diameter implants reveal the same performance as implants of standard length and diameter. The presentation will provide you with interesting and clinically relevant information about the advantages and limitations of short and narrow diameter implants. You will learn in which indications these innovative implants can be used. Prof Ronald Jung Prof Ronald Jung Prof Ronald Jung is trained in oral surgery, prosthodontics and implant therapy.

9:15 am	The new classification of peri-implant diseases: local and systemic implications The new classification of peri-implant diseases: local and systemic implications Over the years the prevalence of biologic complications has been increasing and peri-implant diseases became a clinical reality with significant challenges in terms of therapeutic management. Furthermore, the definition and criteria of peri-implant diseases have not always been universally accepted. Recently, the Consensus statements deriving from the 2017 World Workshop in Periodontology provided appropriate diagnostic criteria for defining health and disease around implants. The aim of this lecture is to address and discuss potential local and systemic implications arising from the new classification of peri-implant diseases consensus statements. Present and apply the newly defined criteria from the 2017 WWP to address common clinical diagnostic dilemmas, including those stemming from different surgical and prosthetic iatrogenic causes. Discuss the evidence on potential risk factors for periimplantitis, as well as, of the potential systemic impact of severe periimplantitis. Understand the newly defined criteria from the 2017 WWP on peri-implant health and disease. Recognise potential implications arising from the new classification of peri-implant diseases, both on the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.

Illustrated by many clinical cases, the participant will experience how an array of non-technical skills (cognitive and social ones), although their importance is being increasingly recognized, is still poorly integrated in teaching and assessment with technical skills and leading to adverse esthetic outcomes. the participants know about the techniques of debiasing in order to reduce the common cognitive errors in periodontal and implant surgery the participants become aware of the importance of patient information and know the concepts of shared decision making the participants learn to critically review the literature results (periodontal plastic surgery) and improve their metacognitive skills Dr Rino Burkhardt Dr Rino Burkhardt Dr Rino Burkhardt graduated from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and received his doctorate from the Medical Faculty of the same University.
