At first, this may seem like a simple question — surely, we just follow the bone level, right? But in reality, this approach doesn’t always lead to the best outcome. When dealing with uneven ridge heights or aesthetic zones, placement depth becomes a more nuanced decision.
If the implant is placed too shallow, and there may not be enough room to shape a natural-looking restoration. If it is placed too deep, there might be risk of complications such as peri-implantitis or bone loss. This
lecture distils the concept down to one guiding principle: The appropriate implant depth should support an ideal mucosal emergence.
Robotic technology is redefining oral and maxillofacial surgery by enabling minimally invasive approaches with greater precision and improved patient recovery. This talk will focus on the application of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) in head and neck oncology. Dr Ghazali will be sharing her extensive clinical experience including the setting up of one of the UK’s first established TORS services.
