2) Tissue-Related Implant Management — Long-term implant success depends not only on osseointegration but also on the stability and health of peri-implant soft tissues. In this session, participants will explore strategies for preserving and managing peri-implant mucosa using SKY implants. The lecture covers tissue-level versus bone-level placement considerations, flapless versus transgingival approaches, and how emergence profile, abutment design, and provisionalization can shape the gingiva. Case illustrations demonstrate how zirconia (whiteSKY) and tissue-level classicSKY implants contribute to improved aesthetics and biological integration in both posterior and anterior regions. Learning Objectives By the end of the session, participants should be able to: 1. Differentiate between tissue-level and bone-level placement strategies and their softtissue implications. 2. Apply soft-tissue management techniques (provisional contours, customized healing abutments) during treatment. 3. Assess clinical indications where zirconia or tissue-level SKY implants may enhance long-term aesthetic stability. Expected Learning Outcomes • Apply evidence-based peri-implant tissue management strategies in clinical practice. • Enhance aesthetic and biological outcomes by selecting suitable implant designs and workflows. • Reflect on personal surgical protocols to identify opportunities for minimally invasive tissue preservation. 3) Implant Placement Using the SKY Guided Surgical Protocol — Abstract Digital workflows are increasingly integral to predictable implant dentistry. This session provides a step-by-step review of the SKY pro guide surgical protocol for guided implant placement. Attendees will learn how prosthetic planning integrates with surgical execution, the guided drill sequence for different implant diameters, and verification techniques for accuracy and safety. Practical case studies demonstrate immediate-loading possibilities, including applications in full-arch reconstructions. The session concludes with guidance on risk management and when to transition from guided to freehand placement. Learning Objectives By the end of the session, participants should be able to: 1. Explain the principles and components of the SKY pro guide surgical system. 2. Demonstrate knowledge of the guided drill sequence and its role in achieving prosthetically driven outcomes. 3. Evaluate clinical indications where guided protocols improve precision, efficiency, and immediate restoration success. Expected Learning Outcomes • Confidently implement the SKY pro guide protocol in straightforward and complex cases. • Optimize surgical accuracy and restorative predictability using digital planning. • Reflect on personal workflow integration of guided surgery and assess potential improvements in practice.
