Crown-Down Implant Planning

Dr. Francesco Mintrone

@drfrancescomintrone - Accreditation requested

Program

From aesthetic targets to biologic stability.

A 2-day advanced program for clinicians seeking a structured, prosthetically-driven and biologically sound approach to modern implantology.

The Concept

Predictable implant outcomes are not accidental.
They result from integrating:

  • Facial esthetic analysis

  • Clear prosthetic targets

  • Precise 3D implant positioning

  • Digital workflow integration

  • Regenerative and soft-tissue strategies

This masterclass teaches a crown-down philosophy: starting from the final restoration and translating it into surgical and biologic precision.

What You Will Learn

✔ Define measurable esthetic and restorative objectives
✔ Translate them into accurate 3D implant positioning
✔ Build a complete digital patient (IOS + CBCT)
✔ Select between guided surgery and navigation
✔ Manage immediate implants and gap situations
✔ Plan and execute GBR in atrophic cases
✔ Apply advanced soft-tissue management principles

Day 1 – Advanced Theory

  • Facial analysis & smile dynamics

  • Gingival margin and emergence design

  • Digital planning workflow

  • Guided vs navigated surgery: clinical decision-making

Day 2 – Advanced Concepts + Hands-On

Morning

  • Immediate implants & tissue preservation

  • Regeneration planning in complex cases

Afternoon Workshop (Pig Mandibles)

  • Flap design & recipient site preparation

  • Membrane fixation & graft stabilization

  • Periosteal release & suturing protocols

  • Dehiscence prevention checklist

HANDS ON

GBR and Soft-Tissue Management in Atrophic Conditions: A Structured Surgical Protocol

*very limited space*

Core Components

Defect Analysis & Planning

  • Morphology assessment (horizontal / vertical / combined)

  • Prosthetic-driven ridge contour definition

  • Membrane selection (resorbable vs non-resorbable)

  • Graft choice and fixation strategy

Flap & Site Management

  • Incision design and full-thickness elevation

  • Recipient site preparation

  • Cortical perforations (when indicated)

  • Mobility assessment before graft placement

Membrane & Graft Stabilization

  • Adaptation and pin/tack fixation

  • Space maintenance principles

  • Controlled graft placement

  • Stability verification before closure

Soft-Tissue & Suturing Protocols

  • Periosteal release for passive advancement

  • Bilaminar principles

  • Suturing techniques (mattress, interrupted, sling)

  • Dehiscence prevention and tension control
