At the epicentre of implant dentistry

Announcing the guest speaker!

We are excited to announce Major Tim Peake as our guest speaker at the ADI Team Congress 2023. Former Apache pilot, with over 18 years’ worth of military service, Tim is also an ambassador for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) and works closely with the United Kingdom Space Agency (UKSA) and the UK government on their space, education and outreach programmes.

Tim will join our speakers to chat with delegates about the many challenges he has faced (and overcome) throughout his extraordinary life. He will prompt the audience to consider the obstacles they face in their day-to-day lives, providing invaluable guidance and insight on how they can be conquered. Tim’s lecture certainly is not one to miss.

Announcing our Plenary speakers

ADI President, Amit Patel, will host the opening ceremony on Thursday 4^th May, introducing the event and granting all a warm welcome. The first lecture of the day is hosted by Dr Sandro Cortellini, who lectures both nationally and internationally and is a referee of the main scientific journals in the field of periodontology. His lecture, titled ‘Periodontal Re-generation: Teeth Vs Implants’, will explore the decisions that many professionals must make regarding saving a tooth, or replacing it.

Delegates can also attend the lecture hosted by Prof. Tomas Albrektsson, who has published scientific papers on osseointegration and who will be presenting, ‘the Immune System Behind Osseointegration and Marginal Bone Loss’. Dr Howie Gluckman, internationally-renowned dental practitioner, dental implantologist, author and lecturer, will later discuss ‘the Management of Complicated Defects in the Aesthetic Zone’, sharing over 25 years’ worth of failure and success to help delegates strive for constant improvement and excellence in their work.

Dr Dirk Duddeck, dentist and biologist, also shares some insight into his session, titled ‘Clean Implant’:

“I will encourage colleagues to question the promised quality of the dental implants they purchase. If they are unknowingly using a product that is not as clean as they think, they could be looking in the wrong areas to determine why their patients experience peri-implantitis. I am very excited to speak for the ADI for the first time and look forward to sharing more of our findings with peers in the UK.”

Dr Pier Gallo, dentist, periodontist, national and international lecturer, will be exploring ‘Clinical Reality of Vertical Ridge Augmentation’, an exciting subject that covers a range of key topics relating to vertical defects and avoiding complications. Delegates keen to discover more about digital dentistry should look to attend Dr Martin Wanendeya’s lecture, ‘Using Digital Dentistry in Implantology for More Integrated Teamwork and to Improve Patient Outcomes’. Dr Wanendeya’s work is limited to implant and aesthetic dentistry, with a special interest in digital implant dentistry and smile design.

Dr Ramón Gómez Meda, who has spoken internationally on topics such as periodontics, aesthetic dentistry and multidisciplinary treatment, kindly shares some insight into his session, ‘A Paradigm Shift: Perio-Prostho Approach for Predictable FP-1 Rehabilitation.’ He comments:

“I’ll be lecturing about the digital workflow applied to dental implant-supported rehabilitation, from a single unit to a full-arch treatment. I’ll explore how to get aesthetic results in an efficient way, using new technologies and materials.”

Also presenting is Dr Ricardo Kern, whose work focuses on the demanding disciplines of soft design and reconstruction of fabrics. His lecture, ‘Biological Construction of Peri-Implant Tissue: Keypoints of Bone and Soft Tissue Development in Immediacy Cases,’ is perfect for delegates seeking to learn more about peri-implant tissues and development. And, finally, Prof. Tomas Linkevičius will discuss his presentation, ‘Zero Bone Loss Concepts: Immediate and Delayed’. Prof. Linkevičius developed ‘Zero bone loss concepts’, a scientifically supported clinical protocol, demonstrating how to achieve and maintain crestal bone stability around dental implants.

Dr Lorenzo Tavelli, who has published over 80 scholarly publications in the main international peer-reviewed journals, will be conducting a session on ‘Classification and Surgical Management of Implant Aesthetic Complications’, discussing how to correct implant aesthetic failure in dental implants. He comments:

“The key topics I will discuss during my session will be: the concept of peri-implant phenotype, the new classification of peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences/deficiencies, the role of soft tissue phenotype modification on the aesthetic and long-term marginal soft tissue stability at dental implant sites, and treatment approaches to predictably address dental implant aesthetic complications.

“I’m thrilled to be participating in this event organised by the ADI, I’m really looking forward to it!”
