Straumann® ProTalk

Are short implants still a compromise – or have they become a predictable treatment option in modern implant dentistry? In this Clinical edition of Straumann® ProTalk, Christian Jarry sits down with Prof. Dr. Ronald Jung (University of Zurich) to discuss the evolution of short implants, modern treatment planning, and the evidence behind minimally invasive implant strategies. From vertical augmentation and sinus elevation to 6 mm and 4 mm implants, the episode explores when short implants work — and where their limitations remain. 🎧 A must-listen for clinicians looking to balance...

What does “accuracy” actually mean in digital implant dentistry – and when does it improve patient care versus simply producing impressive numbers? In this episode of ProTalk Clinical, Christian Jarry speaks with Professor Nikos Mattheos about the evolution of guided implant surgery, navigation systems, AI, and robotics. Together, they challenge the industry’s obsession with precision alone and explore why digital workflows only matter when they lead to better clinical outcomes, improved efficiency, and a better patient experience. 00:00 Why accuracy alone is not enough 05:01 The real...

What does it really take to treat the severely atrophic maxilla – without grafting? In this Straumann® ProTalk episode, Prof. Dr. Ed Bedrossian shares over three decades of experience in implantology, from placing his first zygomatic implant in 1995 to helping shape graftless treatment concepts. He explains the biomechanics behind long-term success, why clinicians must always ask “why”, and how to balance fundamentals with emerging digital workflows. From being mentored by Per-Ingvar Brånemark to collaborating with his son today, this episode is a deep dive into mindset,...

In this episode of Straumann ProTalk, Prof. Dr. Bilal Al-Nawas joins George Raeber and Andreas Utz to explore complex implant reconstructions – from tumor and atrophic cases to treating a 90-year-old patient with a subperiosteal implant under local anesthesia. He unpacks the comeback of subperiosteal implants in the digital era, compares them with zygomatic approaches, and highlights the importance of managing complications with a self-critical mindset. 00:00 Leadership and introduction 02:06 Bilal’s background and OMS perspective 06:30 Complex cases in Mainz 09:39 Elderly reconstruction...

In this Straumann ProTalk, Prof. Dr. Samir Abou-Ayash explains why dentistry is medicine - directly linked to systemic health, immunity, and wellbeing through oral function like chewing and breathing. He shares key insights from ITI Consensus 2023 on patient-reported outcomes, oral function, and chewing efficiency, including why overdentures can match fixed full-arch results. The episode also explores implant care in aging patients and how digital dentistry - from intraoral scanners to scannable healing abutments - is transforming workflows, while challenges like fragmented systems continue to...

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...
