Benefits of the flapless immediate implant placement & provisionalization technique

At the Nobel Biocare Industry Forum at EAO Congress 2024, Dr. Edith Groenendijk highlighted the advantages of flapless immediate implant placement and provisionalization (FIIPP), demonstrated through Astrid’s case – a patient with a ”gummy” smile, presenting with a fractured maxillary central incisor.

FIIPP is a minimally invasive, efficient procedure validated by a 15-year prospective clinical study involving 100 patients with diverse conditions, including buccal defects and inflammation. The technique involves preserving soft tissues, using bovine bone grafts like creos™, and placing NobelActive® implants palatally with a hand driver to create space for revascularization and long-term soft tissue support. This approach ensures esthetic stability and soft tissue gain, as confirmed with multi-year follow-ups.

For hands-on training and live surgery with the FIIPP technique, join Dr. Groenendijk’s next training course in The Hague, Netherlands, on November 7-8, 2025.
