Zero Bone Loss Concept: How to Develop and Maintain Crestal Bone Stability
Connect surgical and prosthetic decisions to the development and maintenance of crestal bone stability.
With Prof. Tomas Linkevičius
Course information
A surgical and restorative strategy for long-term crestal bone stability.
The course examines how biology, implant design, implant depth and vertical soft-tissue thickness interact around implants.
The prosthetic modules continue through cemented and screw-retained solutions, Ti-base design and material selection above and below the gingival margin.

Who this course is for
For clinicians responsible for peri-implant tissue stability.
The course is intended for implant and restorative clinicians who want to coordinate placement depth, tissue thickness, connection design and restorative materials.
Restorative implant dentists
For clinicians comparing cemented, screw-retained and Ti-base solutions around peri-implant tissues.
Surgical-restorative teams
For teams coordinating tissue thickness, emergence design, materials and long-term maintenance.
The clinical framework
Create biological protection around the implant.
Crestal bone stability is approached through the relationship between implant position, tissue thickness and prosthetic design.
The course examines how implant-abutment connection, placement depth, emergence profile, cementation and long-term maintenance influence the peri-implant environment.
“
Bone stability is developed through coordinated surgical and prosthetic decisions, then protected through appropriate maintenance.
What you’ll learn
Five factors that influence crestal bone stability.
01
Biology and implant design
Understand crestal bone reactions as the interaction of biological and implant-design factors.
02
Implant position
Relate supracrestal, crestal or subcrestal placement to implant design and connection stability.
03
Vertical tissue thickness
Review methods for increasing vertical soft-tissue thickness and supporting biological protection.
04
Restorative retention
Compare cemented, screw-retained and Ti-base restorative approaches.
05
Material selection
Study subgingival and supragingival material considerations for peri-implant tissues.
Treat crestal bone stability as a connected system.Technique focus
Treat crestal bone stability as a connected system.
The program integrates surgical tissue management with implant position, connection design, restoration retention and material selection.
- Vertical soft-tissue augmentation
- Subcrestal implant placement
