An incredible way to kick off 2026! 🎉

We were thrilled to start 2026 by hosting our first Study Club meeting with an exceptional evening of education, connection, and collaboration. The event featured a powerful and informative lecture from a close friend and internationally recognized dental implant surgeon, Dr. Tomasz Kaczynski of Warsaw, Poland.

✨ Huge thanks to Dr. Tomasz Kaczynski for his engaging presentation and to Neodent for sponsoring the evening.

Dr. Kaczynski’s presentation, “Perio-Prosthetic Management in Immediate Implant Therapy,” delivered valuable clinical insights into achieving predictable outcomes through proper interdisciplinary planning, soft tissue management, and prosthetic-driven implant placement. His expertise and practical approach to immediate implant therapy truly inspired all in attendance.

We’re grateful to our referring doctors for a fantastic turnout on a Monday! We look forward to the next meeting!

What a truly unforgettable whirlwind of a weekend at the second annual ORCAA Symposium. I had the incredible honor of presenting on “Why soft tissue matters: elevating predictability and success in full-arch treatment,” alongside a genuinely star-studded panel of speakers. I felt both proud and profoundly humbled to present alongside clinicians I have long admired—many of whom have guided, challenged, and mentored me throughout my journey.

It was incredibly meaningful to reconnect with old friends, meet new colleagues, and share ideas with so many passionate minds. Moments like these remind me how powerful community and mentorship truly are in our profession.

Every interaction I’ve had with ORCAA has left me in awe of the organization’s vision, integrity, and rapid growth. The level of intention behind every detail of this symposium was evident. It was inspiring, educational, and impeccably organized—creating an environment where learning, collaboration, and genuine connection could thrive.

A heartfelt thank you to Simon and Juan for believing in me and for the trust you placed in me to be part of something so special. This experience has deeply motivated me to continue pushing forward in my passion for clinical excellence, thoughtful business growth, and meaningful education. I left this weekend re-energized, inspired, and incredibly grateful.

Until next time, ORCAA—thank you for raising the bar and reminding us why we do what we do.

Double-arch, same-day surgical rehabilitation with immediate loading was performed using an integrated digital workflow incorporating facial scanning to capture and transfer the newly established increased vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO). Facial scan data were digitally cross-mounted with intraoral scans and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to enable a facially driven prosthetic design and prosthetically guided implant placement. This workflow supported the fabrication and delivery of immediately loaded provisional restorations at the established VDO on the day of surgery.

Precise determination and digital transfer of the VDO were critical for biomechanical control, as appropriate vertical dimension directly influences occlusal force vectors, implant load distribution, and neuromuscular balance. Occlusal scheme selection during provisionalization was carefully designed to minimize lateral forces, establish stable bilateral contacts in centric relation, and minimize cantilever loading, thereby promoting favorable conditions for osseointegration and long-term functional stability of the definitive implant-supported prostheses.

Another PFAST case illustrating a predictable protocol for the restoration of esthetics, function, and vertical dimension of occlusion.
Strategically planned soft tissue incisions and apically positioned flaps were utilized to preserve existing tissue volume and the zone of keratinized gingiva. This surgical approach enabled achievement of the 3-2-2 soft tissue criteria—3 mm of vertical gingival thickness, 2 mm of horizontal tissue thickness, and a minimum of 2 mm of keratinized gingiva—parameters that are critical for predictable long-term stability and maintenance in full-arch rehabilitative cases

🦷 AOX Success = Bone + Soft Tissue Control | PATZI Protocol

Predictable AOX outcomes require more than implant stability. The PATZI surgical protocol, combined with intentional soft tissue management, allows clinicians to control critical variables and simplify complex full-arch cases.

🔹 Patient presentation:
Severe bruxism, multiple missing teeth, and significant loss of vertical dimension of occlusion.

🔹 Surgical foundation:
• Bilateral pterygoid implants engaging strong pterygomaxillary pillars
• Insertion torque >50 Ncm for all implants
• Two nasal crest implants placed anteriorly
• Two tilted implants completing the arch
• Cumulative Torque Value (CTV): >300 Ncm

🔹 Why soft tissue matters:
Historically, full-arch research has focused on peri-implant bone and prosthetic parameters—often overlooking soft tissue planning and ex*****on.

🔹 Soft tissue strategy:
• Strategic incision design
• Atraumatic extraction techniques
• Apically positioned flap approaches
These techniques preserved natural soft tissue volume and an adequate zone of keratinized gingiva, meeting the minimal soft tissue requirements for long-term success.

📌 Key takeaway:
When both hard and soft tissue variables are respected, clinicians can enter the full-arch maintenance phase with confidence.

Don’t settle for anything less than the smile you deserve. Schedule your consultation today and begin your transformation!
