    Clinical edition: Ti-bases as the new standard in implant prosthetics with Vincent Fehmer (video version)

    Clinical edition: Ti-bases as the new standard in implant prosthetics with Vincent Fehmer In this episode of Straumann ProTalk Clinical, Christian Jarry speaks with Vincent Fehmer (University of Geneva, master dental technician and editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Esthetic Dentistry) about the growing role of titanium bases (Ti-bases) in modern implant restorations. The discussion explores how Ti-bases enable prosthetically driven planning, efficient digital workflows between clinics and dental laboratories, and predictable restorative protocols. Vincent Fehmer also shares insights on cementation strategies, surface-treatment developments such as Variobase XC, and the clinical evidence supporting Ti-base restorations. 00:00 Why implant planning still matters 07:00 Protecting the implant interface 15:00 Digital workflows and lab collaboration 24:00 Cementation protocols and clinical delivery 31:00 Evidence and lessons from early complications 41:00 Biology, emergence profiles, and the future   🔗 Learn more from Vincent Fehmer: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/vincentfehmer/ International Journal of Esthetic Dentistry - https://www.quintessence-publishing.com/deu/en/journal/international-journal-of-esthetic-dentistry-en Fixed Restorations - https://www.quintessence-publishing.com/anz/en/product/fixed-restorations University of Geneve - https://www.unige.ch/medecine/dentaire/presentation-de-la-cumd/de/laboratoire-odonto-technique/collaborateurstrices-du-laboratoire-odonto-technique

    The mind of an implant inventor: Dr. Ophir Fromovich on challenging convention in implant design (video version)

    What does it take to challenge implantology dogma and redesign dental implants from the ground up? In this episode of Straumann ProTalk, Dr. Ophir Fromovich shares the clinical thinking behind fully tapered implant designs, immediate loading protocols, and high primary stability concepts that have influenced modern systems such as Straumann BLX/TLX. Driven by a mission to help patients worldwide, Dr. Fromovich explains how dissatisfaction with early implant designs led him to reverse-engineer implants, question traditional drilling protocols, and advocate for deep-thread, aggressive implant geometries designed for predictable stability - even in challenging bone conditions. If you are interested in dental implant innovation, implant design evolution, digital dentistry, or the future of AI in oral surgery, this episode offers practical insights and strategic thinking from one of the key innovators in the field. 00:00 Relentless curiosity and early roots 02:30 Choosing dentistry and entering implantology 10:50 Challenging implant dogma and first prototypes 19:36 Clinic-driven innovation and tapered implant impact 26:05 Collaboration with Straumann: BLX, TLX, and science 34:20 Mission, humility, and advice to inventors 39:09 AI, digital workflows, and the future of implant dentistry 48:35 Straumann culture shift and closing reflections

    Clinical edition: Technique over timing in posterior immediate implants with Dr. Algirdas Puisys (video version)

    In this special Straumann ProTalk Clinical episode from the International Aesthetic Days in Portugal, Dr. Algirdas Puisys explains how he defines success in posterior immediate implants - targeting a 30° emergence profile and treating 45° as a critical limit. He shares his "aha" moment that immediate implant risk depends more on technique than timing, reflects on early mistakes with oversized implants, and discusses today's priorities: digital workflows, soft-tissue-first thinking, and conservative peri-implantitis management. Learn more from Dr. Algirdas Puisys at AlgirdasPuisys.com.   00:00 Why immediate implants succeed (technique over timing) 00:53 Emergence profile control: 30° target vs 45° danger zone 03:31 Digital-first planning: restoration-driven 3D positioning 06:21 Healing abutment strategy: common mistakes and better options 07:52 Clinical workflow: fractured tooth to immediate implant 14:58 Evidence and evolution: technique sensitivity & digital dentistry 20:14 Clinical pearls: implant sizing, soft-tissue-first thinking & peri-implantitis
