#1 Implants Don’t Fail—Dentists Do: The Truth About Implant Failure
in the world of implant dentistry, failure is often dismissed as biology’s fault — poor bone, bad hygiene, patient non-compliance. But the truth is uncomfortable: implant failures are almost always the dentist’s fault.
When planned and executed correctly, an implant restoration should be virtually indestructible — even by the patient. Failures happen when we, as clinicians, don’t fully understand the biological and biomechanical demands of the system. From bone preservation to prosthetic design, every step either protects the implant or sets it up for long-term trouble.
This webinar challenges you to stop accepting implant complications as normal. We’ll explore why failures really happen, why blaming the patient is a clinical blind spot, and how only with true understanding of bone physiology, loading forces, and soft tissue stability can we consistently deliver results that last. Our discussion will challenge the traditional excuses and offers a fresh perspective, You’ll learn why implant failures occur, how to recognize the warning signs before it’s too late, and what you can do to protect your results long-term. Whether you’re placing implants or restoring them, this session will give you critical insights to elevate your clinical success and reduce complications.
#2 The Myth of Grafting Around Implants
Join us!
Every case we see today seems to always involve hard tissue and often soft tissue augmentation, even in the posterior region. This raises important questions: Is bone grafting really necessary? Are tissue grafts essential? What clinical research exists to guide our decisions? What factors should I evaluate to determine when to utilize a graft and when to avoid it?
What if I told you that I transitioned from grafting every case to rarely using grafts, all while achieving better outcomes?
Join me to explore these topics, relieve yourself of the complexities associated with grafting, and consider the potential savings from not needing to purchase biomaterials.

#3 Crown Cementation over Bone Augmentation
Over the past decade, a significant shift in implantology has occurred, with a focus on prosthetically-driven approaches aimed at addressing the primary cause of implant failure: cement remnants. While this shift may seem logical, it has led to increased demand for bone augmentation in many delayed cases and the avoidance of immediate treatments in some instances to ensure screw-retained restorations. This has resulted in longer treatment times, higher costs, more complications, and added discomfort for our patients.
It begs the question: Is there a better way? Can we safely use cement to secure a restoration, avoiding the need for bone augmentation and complex surgeries, or even provide immediate treatment without the constraints of screw-retained designs?
In this webinar, we’ll explore how to cement restorations safely, freeing both you and your patients from the risks of bone augmentation, major surgeries, and increased costs. Additionally, what if I told you that cementing a bridge offers superior benefits compared to screw-retained solutions? We will dive into the advantages of cementation for both FPDs (Fixed Partial Dentures) and single crowns, showing you how to do it safely and effectively. Plus, we will discuss why cementing can be a superior option compared to using an angled screw channel (ASC).

Objectives :
1. Understand different implant connections and their applications.
2. Differentiate between the engagement zone and anti-rotation zone in implants.
3. Learn about connection modifications for fixed partial dentures (FPD) based on implant angulation and how to address them.
4. Determine when to use a custom zirconia abutment versus a monolithic titanium custom abutment.
5. Explore safe cementation techniques without the stress
6. Understand J margins, their advantages, and the best timing for cementation.
7. Learn the proper technique for cementing zirconia to zirconia, or zirconia to Emax and other materials.
8. Discuss why intraoral cementation is recommended for anterior restorations, even for single units.
9. Review the concept of Angles screw channel abutments (ASCs), their purpose, and why they are no longer recommended.
10. Examine various restorative materials currently available on the market.

SPEAKER
Dr Ahmed Mataria DDS
Dr. Mataria received his dental degree from the University of Detroit Mercy in 2009. He established multiple practices in the Chicago area that focus on providing excellent care to his patients. His practice became focused around implant reconstruction and regenerative dentistry. He has attended numerous continuing education courses and fellowships including multiple hands-on courses in the Dominican Republic. Dr. Mataria has expanded his practices from Chicago to Los Angeles. He currently limits his practice to implant dentistry, focusing on complicated cases from referrals and managing failed implants. He is an advocate of holistic implant dentistry by using metal-free implants. He has advanced training in vertical augmentation, soft tissue grafting, full arch restorations with immediate loading, Khoury technique, P.E.T and PRF. Dr. Mataria currently serves as a clinical instructor for Trinon college. He specializes in teaching implant placement, sinus lifts, and full arch restorations, all while providing mentorship to his student doctors throughout their educational journey. Dr. Mataria placed thousands of implants throughout his career and currently spends his time attending continuing education courses , teaching both hands-on and lecturing to practicing dentists, while enjoying his private practice between Los Angeles and Chicago. Dr. Mataria recently founded Zero Bone Los Lab , the only certified zero bone loss lab in the US. Through the lab , Dr. Mataria can help other doctors plan and fabricate surgical guides and final restorations completing the full circle under his supervision utilizing a fully digital workflow.
