Challenges in Implant Dentistry

Created by Dr. Ivo Erthal, Challenges in Implant Dentistry is dedicated to the key challenges of implant surgery and oral rehabilitation. Through clinical cases involving different dental implant systems, the channel presents techniques, strategies, and critical decisions aimed at achieving outcomes that combine aesthetics, masticatory function, and prosthetic predictability.

The procedures are filmed in high resolution from the surgeon’s perspective, providing a practical learning experience through detailed observation of every stage of the operation. The content covers surgical planning and access, implant-site preparation, three-dimensional implant positioning, primary stability, and the selection of prosthetic components.

Beyond step-by-step surgical technique, Dr. Ivo discusses anatomical considerations, bone availability and quality, peri-implant tissue management, the relationship between implant positioning and the final prosthesis, ease of hygiene, and decision-making when managing complications. Designed for dental surgeons, implant specialists, and professionals in training, the channel brings viewers closer to the real challenges of clinical practice and demonstrates how surgical planning and a prosthetically driven approach must work together in implant dentistry.
