Zero Bone Loss as a Team Sport: Aligning Surgery, Prosthetics and Lab
-
Peri-implant stability starts long before the final restoration is delivered. It depends on seamless collaboration between surgeon, restorative dentist and dental technician. In this interactive workshop, participants discover how the Zero Bone Loss Concept (ZBLC) creates a shared workflow that combines biological principles, precise implant positioning and restorative planning to support predictable long-term outcomes.
This interactive workshop combines theory and hands-on experience to demonstrate how the Zero Bone Loss Concept (ZBLC) supports long-term peri-implant stability through interdisciplinary collaboration.
The theoretical session explores the biological and prosthetic principles behind implant depth, soft-tissue management and component selection, highlighting the importance of alignment between clinician and laboratory from the earliest treatment stages.
During the hands-on component, participants will work with the ZBLC Kit to simulate clinical scenarios and restorative decision-making. The workshop illustrates how the kit improves communication between surgery and laboratory teams while simplifying abutment selection, prosthetic planning and restorative workflows.
Designed for implant surgeons, restorative dentists, prosthodontists and dental technicians, this session presents Zero Bone Loss as a true team-based approach focused on reducing compromises and improving long-term implant success.
