Anterior implants from socket to rescue — CTG versus socket shield, GBR, electrolytic peri-implantitis cleaning and cadaver anatomy
Nine Italian and international implant clinicians teach Implants in the Aesthetic Zone: From Successful Placement to Failure Management 2025 across seven lectures and 10 h 45 min of video. Sascha Jovanovic, Markus Schlee, Carlo Monaco, Roberto Pistilli and others take the anterior implant from extraction-socket decisions through soft and hard tissue augmentation to the question every clinician eventually faces: keep a failing implant or remove it.

What you’ll be able to do
- Choose between ridge preservation with the punch technique and spontaneous healing followed by delayed GBR
- Compare an immediate implant with connective tissue graft against the socket shield technique, including shield design and gap management
- Select a GBR protocol from CBCT findings and understand why vertical defects carry more risk than horizontal ones
- Decontaminate implant surfaces with the electrolytic GalvoSurge method in peri-implantitis cases
- Decide whether to save or remove a malpositioned implant using a combined prosthetic and surgical protocol
- Weigh analog versus digital workflows for the single missing anterior tooth
Inside the course
Two debates, four philosophies
Paolo Casentini argues for socket preservation with a low-resorption biomaterial and a sealing punch graft, while Andrea Chierico defends natural socket healing, non-resorbable membranes and soft tissue thickening. In the second debate Francesco Mintrone presents the socket shield and Carlo Ghezzi an immediate implant with CTG, from flap design to tissue enhancement.
Anatomy on the dissection table
The longest session, over three hours, is Roberto Pistilli’s commented extraoral cadaver dissection of the submandibular and parotid spaces, with muscle palpation and a constant link back to safe implant and oral surgery.
When things go wrong
Markus Schlee explains electrolytic cleaning as a non-abrasive route to re-osseointegration; Carlo Monaco sets out removal-or-retention criteria and a dehiscence classification tied to malposition; Sascha Jovanovic details membranes, flap design and tension-free closure for augmentation at failed anterior sites.
Workflow choices
Filippo Tomarelli and Carlo Ghezzi close by contrasting conventional impressions and gypsum models with scanners, guided surgery and CAD/CAM, focusing on cost, precision and operator dependence.

Before you buy
Are these live surgical demonstrations?
They are recorded lectures with clinical case material and surgical video clips; the anatomy session is a filmed cadaver dissection rather than a patient procedure.
Does the GalvoSurge lecture require that device?
The peri-implantitis session is built around this electrolytic system, so its practical value is greatest if you use or are considering it.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
