Treatment Modalities for Surgical Crown Lengthening

Speakers: Prof. Dr. Nataša Nikolić Jakoba, Dr. Srđan Stepanović
Date: Friday, 25.4.2025
Time: 14:00-17:00
Venue: Congress Centre Sava
Fee: 150,00 €

Description: Extensive exposure of the gingiva during a smile, called excessive gingival display, may be a point of concern for both patients and clinicians. Several conditions may result in the excessive display of gingiva, including gingivitis, drug-induced gingival enlargement, and altered passive eruption of teeth. Excessive gingival display may also result from a high lip line, a hypermobile upper lip or vertical maxillary excess. The management of excess gingival display is dictated by its etiology. Proper examination and correct diagnosis are imperative for achieving an esthetic and predictable result in the treatment. Clinical and anatomical crown length, the distance of cementoenamel junction from alveolar bone crest, as well as keratinized gingiva width should be analyzed before deciding whether to include periodontal surgery in the treatment. Regarding aforementioned clinical parameters a proper surgical approach should be selected and performed. Treatment modalities for surgical crown lengthening are gingivectomy and apically positioned flap which both may be combined with osseoresective surgery. Various aspects of excessive gingival display caused by altered passive eruption and its surgical treatment will be discussed during the workshop. Surgical crown lengthening procedure will be demonstrated on the model and different clinical cases will be presented and discussed.

Workshop 3

Let’s do it one more time – Endodontic Retreatment

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Goran Tošić
Date: Saturday, 26.4.2025
Time: 11:00-14:00
Venue: Congress Centre Sava
Fee: 150,00 €

Workshop 4

Immediate Implant Placement with Immediate Loading

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Aleksa Marković, Prof. Dr. Zoran Aleksic, Asist. Prof. Dr Mirko Glišić, Dr. Jovana Marković
Date: Friday, 25.4.2025
Time: 10:00-13:00
Venue: School of Dental Medicine, University of Belgrade, Implant Center
Fee: 200,00 €

Description: Course combines new digital technologies with great clinical experience and provides solutions for solving immediate implant placement with immediate loading. Course is consisted of theoretical part with plenty of fully documented clinical cases and evidence-based solutions and hands-on workshops for topic. Participants will be able to plan and discuss clinical cases. Hands-on workshops are designed with goal of “next day clinical appliance” where participants can perform, on working model, immediate single tooth replacement in aesthetic zone simultaneously with GBR procedure, analog and digital impression for immediate loading. Also, participants will be able to ask additional questions and learn clinical tips and tricks in close communication with all lecturers.

Learning objectives:
· Understanding diagnostic procedures, surgical and restorative treatment planning.
· Become familiar with digital workflow in surgical and prosthetic aspects
· Learn indications for immediate implant placement and immediate loading protocol
· Learn step by step immediate implant placement with immediate loading procedure

Workshop 5

Intraoral Photogrametry in all on X Cases

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Miodrag Šćepanović
Date: Friday, 25.4.2025
Time: 14:00-17:00
Venue: School of Dental Medicine, University of Belgrade, Implant Center
Fee: 55,00 €

Description: The treatment of edentulism with prosthetic work retained by implants is one of the most complex procedures in dental prosthetics. The creation of the prosthesis actually begins before implant placement, with the planning process. The emergence of digital tools such as intraoral scanners has significantly changed the precision, predictability, and speed of the procedure. It was long believed that prosthetic work for edentulous patients could not be performed using intraoral scanning. It was found that the issue stemmed from the overlap of the geometries of digital transfer devices scanned in the mouth with those in the software library where the prosthesis is designed. Digital protocols were often altered as a result. Recently, with the advancement of dental digital technology, photogrammetry has emerged as a solution to the inaccuracies when working with digital transfer devices. After photogrammetry, the introduction of a procedure called “intraoral photogrammetry” has significantly improved the efficiency of the entire process. The goal of the workshop is to present digital processes used with standard intraoral scanners, as well as with intraoral photogrammetry.

Workshop 6

Orthodontic mini-implants – contemporary approach in clinical implications

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Nenad Nedeljković, Dr. Ivan Arsić, Dr. Nemanja Marinković, Dr. Jovan Marković
Date: Saturday, 26.4.2025
Time: 9:30-13:30
Venue: School of Dental Medicine, University of Belgrade, Implant Center
Fee: 120,00 €

Description: Orthodontic mini-implants represent a revolutionary advance in modern orthodontics, enabling more precise control of tooth movement and more effective treatments. Their application allows orthodontists to treat patients with greater precision and fewer complications, which contributes to better final results and shorter treatment times. The main role of orthodontic mini-implants is to provide temporary skeletal anchorage. The most important aspect of any orthodontic therapy is the maximum desired movement (teeth, jaw) with minimal unwanted side effects. Their small size allows them to be placed in different places. Mini-implants are most often placed in the buccal interdental alveolar bone. The width of the required alveolar bone between the roots of the teeth for mini-implant placement varies individually. On the other hand, the buccal alveolar process is a generally accessible region and implant insertion can be performed using a simple manual method. Another region, such as the anterior palate, provides better conditions for the placement of mini-implants, since the amount and quality of the bone is more favorable. Different mechanics from the anterior palate can be adapted for distalization, mesialization of the molars, RPE (rapid palatal expansion), closure of extraction spaces, intrusion or extrusion of teeth. A skeletal anchorage with mini-implants should be planned based on an assessment of the required force systems and anatomical limits of tooth movement. Mini implants have become an irreplaceable tool in orthodontics, enabling complex cases to be solved with greater precision and fewer complications.
