Guided Socket Shield: The New Gold Standard For the Aesthetic Anterior Implant
Jeff Li
This 50-minute lecture introduces Biodigital Implantology as an "Engineering Healing" concept—an operational system designed to minimize errors and maximize biological predictability in immediate implant placement. By combining patient-centered digital planning, avatar-based surgery simulation, and structured presurgical patient preparation, tissue healing is no longer left to chance but actively engineered. Furthermore, it covers the use of autologous blood concentrates, such as PRF, as key tools for biologization and controlled tissue regeneration, demonstrating clinical relevance through anterior and posterior immediate implant cases utilizing state-of-the-art digital workflows.

This lecture demonstrates how piezosurgery enables safe, precise, and predictable harvesting of autogenous bone for augmentation procedures. Key anatomical landmarks of the most common donor sites are highlighted with a strong focus on surgical safety. Essential clinical steps for successful autogenous bone augmentation are presented, providing a solid foundation for more advanced concepts discussed in subsequent lectures.

Anterior maxillary vertical GBR remains one of the most technique-sensitive procedures in implant dentistry, where both regenerative stability and esthetic outcomes must be carefully balanced. This lecture presents four biologically and surgically critical factors that influence the predictability of vertical bone regeneration in the esthetic zone. Through a step-by-step clinical case demonstration, participants will explore membrane selection based on defect morphology, flap management for tension-free closure, membrane stabilization concepts, and bilayer wound closure techniques. Emphasis is placed on evidence-based surgical decision-making to minimize complications and enhance long-term regenerative success.
