Expanding the Gift of Osseointegration: A Tribute to Professor Brånemark’s Principle of Availability
Dr Stuart Lutton will be exploring clinical protocols and digital innovations that expand access to full mouth implant restorations, honouring Professor Brånemark’s vision of making dental implant osseointegration as widely available as possible.
This webinar, with Dr. Stuart Lutton, takes a deep dive into a modern clinical philosophy inspired by Professor Brånemark’s foundational principle of “availability”. Professor Branemark believed that the life-changing benefits of dental osseointegration should be accessible to as many patients as possible. Drawing on Dr. Lutton’s extensive experience as founder and Clinical Director of New Life Teeth, the webinar will outline how advancements in surgical protocols, digital workflow, and material science have converged to make full mouth implant treatment both more predictable and more widely available to patients.
Dr. Lutton will guide attendees through the entire treatment journey, starting with digital diagnostics that integrate CBCT imaging, facial scanning, and intraoral scans for precise surgical and prosthetic planning.
The surgical portion of the presentation covers refined full mouth dental implant protocols, including alveoplasty techniques, flap design for optimal access and healing, bicortical implant placement, and the use of intraoral welding to deliver stable, immediate load restorations. These approaches are tailored to treat a wide range of patients, including those with advanced bone loss, expanding the candidacy for full mouth implant solutions.
A significant focus will also be placed on the Prettau® Zirconia bridge, a monolithic material that offers unparalleled strength, longevity, and biocompatibility. Dr. Lutton discusses why this material is a game changer in full mouth dental implant prosthetics, eliminating issues such as acrylic chipping, minimising wear on the opposing teeth, and delivering long-term aesthetic and biological performance.
Attendees will leave with a comprehensive understanding of how a streamlined, team-driven approach can bring high quality, full mouth Zirconia restorations to more patients faster, safer, and with exceptional results.
Learning Objectives:
Understanding the historical evolution of the full mouth dental implant treatment concept and its global impact.
Learning about patient selection, digital pre-surgical planning, and prosthetic design protocols used at the New Life Teeth clinics.
Reviewing surgical techniques including alveoplasty, flap design, bicortical fixation, and intraoral welding for immediate load.
Examining the characteristics and long term benefits of Zirconia prosthetics, including minimal wear, biocompatibility, and strength.
Comparing freehand, guided, and CAD/CAM workflows and how they impact surgical outcomes, prosthetic precision, and patient satisfaction.
