EACim / SOPIO Scientific Day – Lisbon 2025

February 8, 2025 – Lisbon (U Lisboa – Faculdade de Medicina Dentária)

This day on the “Battle of concept” between titanium and zirconia implants will be offered in collaboration with the Portuguese implant society SOPIO (Sociedade Portuguesa de Implantologia e Osteointegração). Our Academy will be joining forces with SOPIO to discuss the evolution of the zirconia implant and its alternative to titanium.

SCIENTIFIC DAY PROGRAM

We are delighted to welcome you to this scientific day dedicated to ceramic dental implantology, a rapidly evolving field. This diverse and comprehensive program will explore the latest advancements in zirconia implants, peri-implantitis treatment, and the technological innovations transforming our daily practice.

The theme : Everyday ceramic implantology.
Bio Immune osteointegration in Implantalogy.

Internationally renowned experts will share their experiences and in-depth knowledge with you:

Lecture abstract
For over 50 years, titanium has been the material of choice when it comes to surgical implant devices for fixed restorations in dentistry. We appreciate its mechanical qualities, which are now enhanced by the use of titanium alloys in orthopedics.However, its biocompatibility depends on its absence of immune and inflammatory responses, and therefore on its capacity for inertia in the oral cavity. This biocompatibility is related to its relative resistance to corrosion. Recent studies confirm that the presence of bacteria, as well as titanium particles, are involved in the ethiopathogenesis of peri-implant diseases. In addition, the pollution of our environment, the presence of numerous allergens in our food and in cosmetic products are leading to the appearance of more and more patients with allergic reactions an increasing number of patients with intolerance or hypersensitivity reactions to metals used in implantology and orthopedics. Patients with an allergic background and autoimmune diseases are also patients at high immunological risk when we indication for dental implants.
Zirconia implants, with their electro-chemical inertia, are a genuine alternative.

Dr Fabrice BAUDOT: The benefits of the zirconia collar on anterior implant reconstructions

• International speaker and author of many publications
• Exclusive practice of laser micro-surgery
• Therapeutic approach based on mini-invasive surgery
• Practitioner of ceramic implantology since 2013

Lecture abstract
Tooth and tissue loss in the anterior region is often a very unpleasant experience. And reconstructing these areas represents a real therapeutic challenge for us practitioners, to meet the ever-increasing demands of our patients.
The integrity and stability of peri-implant hard and soft tissues is the foundation for the long-term durability of our restorations. The zirconia cervical part of the Z1 TBR hybrid implant is a major asset in this respect.
The biological properties of zirconia, particularly with regard to soft tissues, provide microbiological, functional and immune protection.
The zirconia collar is one of the keys to the success of anterior implant reconstructions, which will be illustrated through a series of highly didactic clinical cases in this presentation.

Lecture abstract
Peri-implantitis is a recent pathology. Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease of infectious origin, leading to bone loss around an implant, which may progress to the point of total implant loss. Peri-implantitis affects an average of 25% of implants in 20% of the implanted population, at 10 years. Practitioners are currently confronted with the problem of peri-implant infections, which they have little experience of.
How can peri-implantitis be detected? How can they be treated? How can they be avoided? These are just some of the questions that are hotly debated by general practitioners and implantologists alike, who are confronted with this tsunami in their day-to-day work.
Numerous therapeutic solutions have beeń proposed, exploiting various mechanisms and fields of physical and chemical action.
We will illustrate particularly through several clinical cases the place of lasers in the treatment of peri-implantitis. This conference will present the APARA protocol for the diagnosis, management and prevention of peri-implant diseases using “laser mono-therapy”.

Dr Roland GLAUSER, D.M.D: Fighting the Tsunami of peri-implantitis by establishing an effective biological firewall around your implant restorations

Dr. Roland Glauser graduated from University of Zürich and was from 1997 to 2006 assistant professor at the Department for Fixed Prosthodontics and Dental Materials, University of Zürich. Roland Glauser was president of the scientific board of the Swiss Society of Oral Implantology SSOI and he is an active member of the Academy of Osseointegration AO and the European Association for Osseointegration EAO. From 2006 to 2020 Roland Glauser served as guest lecturer and a research fellow holding a clinical associate professor position at the Dental College of Georgia, Augusta University, Augusta (GA), USA.

His research activities mainly focus on tissue integration of oral implants and shortened clinical protocols. Dr. Glauser has published more than 80 articles and textbook chapters on the subject of restorative dentistry and osseointegrated implants.

Lecture abstract
According to the latest consensus workshop of the EFP and AAP, peri-implantitis is highly prevalent (affecting 22% of dental implants), and its management is challenging, unpredictable, and associated with significant morbidity due to the lack of long-term successful treatment options. Given this context, prioritizing the prevention of peri-implantitis through novel approaches seems logical.
Today, zirconia tissue-level implants are not only an alternative to titanium fixtures, but due to their biological, esthetic, and long-term behavior the future of dental implant therapy. Research reveals that a mucophilic and textured implant collar surface character is one of the primary factors contributing to the resistance against peri-implantitis. In particular, a specific collar surface with its unique ability to promote a robust soft-tissue adhesion along its transmucosal portion is key. Hence, such characteristics result in the formation of an effective defense barrier – a veritable “biological firewall” – preventing the downward migration of bacteria and plaque. Two clinical long-term studies conducted at the universities of Düsseldorf and Graz demonstrated that the Patent™ Dental Implant System can effectively prevent peri-implantitis.
This presentation will reveal new insights and define a new understanding on tissue integration and tissue interaction using 2-piece tissue-level zirconia implants to counteract peri-implantitis.
