Systemic use of anti-microbial therapy after oral treatments has been increasingly frowned upon due to the potential development of MDR and alternatives have been proposed. In this article, the use of of low-level-laser-therapy (HELBO) as an adjuvant to mechanical debridement delivers improved outcomes.

Patients are more willing to accept implant -retained full-arch prostheses when the treatment time is shorter. Using the single cast technique in combination with Bio-HPP, patients can receive their temporary full-arch prostheses 4 hours after the surgery. This article suggests a standard laboratory protocol for the production of full-arch implant-retained prostheses.

A hermetic peri-implant soft tissue seal is essential for the implant survival and success rate. The one-staged implant restoration procedure has gained tremendous attention in the recent years. The use of digital workflow (CEREC) with SKY elegance abutment ( Bio-HPP directly pressed on a titanium base) reduces chairside time and cos.

The use of full-arch ceramic restorations on implants offer high aesthetics, however it has drawbacks such as poor shock absorbency, difficulty to alter once the restoration has been delivered and high long-term cost due to chipping. New materials such as the Visio.lign offset these drawbacks and give the added advantage of being incredibly resilient to staining and plaque adhesion. It can be used in CAD/CAM process.
