Patients often present with dental failure of teeth and restorations, or failure of previously placed implants. The approach demonstrated in this presentation focuses on a standard set of diagnostic material, followed by the development of a treatment plan that will include removal of disease, grafting hard and soft tissue, development of the final restorative plan and placement of implants in locations prescribed by the final plan. This is done using digital information, virtual planning and navigation methods to optimize accuracy and precision. The first surgery is often aimed at eliminating disease and includes removal of teeth or implants with debridement and, as necessary, hard- and soft-tissue grafting. Often these patients require additional grafting to obtain satisfactory tissue volume and quality. Implants are placed navigated in a position prescribed by a virtual tooth setup. Multiple cases will be presented.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Explain what diagnostic materials need to be gathered for digital treatment planning and surgery.
- Discuss the timing and sequencing of procedures to reconstruct these patients.
- Demonstrate the time and cost effectiveness for using digital virtual planning for these unfortunate clinical situations.

Center for Dental Reconstruction
Dr. Block graduated from the University of Rochester in 1975, attaining both a BA in Biology and a BS in Biomedical Engineering. He completed his dental training at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine in 1979, receiving his D.M.D. cum laude in a special field. He completed his residency program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the LSU School of Dentistry in 1983. He remained at the LSU School of Dentistry and achieved the academic rank of Professor in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Currently he is in private practice.
Dr. Block is the editor-in-chief of five textbooks on dental implants, Endosseous Implants for Maxillofacial Reconstruction, Implants in Dentistry, Color Atlas of Dental Implant Surgery: the 4th edition was published in 2015. He is Past President of the Academy of Osseointegration, and has been program chairman for three of their annual programs. Dr. Block has served on the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) Committee on Continuing Education as Chairman of the subcommittee on dental implants. Dr. Block has been an examiner for the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He is a Section Editor on Dental Implants for the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Dr. Block is particularly interested in the translation of technology for efficient and predictable reconstruction of the jaw to provide ideal bone for implant placement and esthetic replacement of missing teeth, the use of multiple techniques and implants to reconstruct significant atrophic conditions, and interceptive strategies for rehabilitating extraction sites with implant restorations.
