About
Damir Jelušić (DMD,PhD) received his dental degree in 1995 after which he upgraded his knowledge with courses that earned him a certificate in dental implantology from the Branemark Center in 1999 and a certificate in periodontology in 2005. Afterwards, he completed his specialization in periodontology at the University Hospital Center Zagreb in 2007. Finally, in 2014 he earned his PhD title at the School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb on a research that focuses on biomaterials and their use in implantology. He is a member of numerous national and international medical associations and institutions including the EAO, ICOI and HDDI.
For the past 20 years Dr.Jelušić has been pursuing diverse courses of professional specialization in the field of dental implantology. He has also actively contributed to numerous national and international educational programs and congresses, by lecturing in the field of dental implantology, implant prosthetic rehabilitation and bone regeneration. He acts as a speaker for several global companies and institutions. Dr.Jelušić’s private clinic, located in Opatija (Croatia), focuses on implantology and periodontology. Dr. Jelušić wrote several specialized and scientific articles in the field of dental implantology.
Lecture
FP1-FP2-FP3 prosthetics
From a Single Tooth Replacement to a Full Arch Rehabilitation
Today’s dental world revolves around implants; teeth are preserved, edentulous patients desire fixed solutions, and patients’ wishes are effectiveness, aesthetics, and function. Is it possible to harmoniously combine the treatment of bone loss, immediacy, and aesthetics?
Tooth extraction introduces patients to the world of dental implants. The most effective way to replace a tooth after extraction is immediate implant placement. This approach has many advantages such as saving time, being effective, and offering biological benefits. The most important biological benefits include preserving and preventing post-extraction bone loss, as well as maintaining, or even better, enhancing the soft tissue profile. Considering FP1, FP2, or FP3 prosthetic designs is about balancing the degree of hard and soft tissue retraction with standard tooth dimensions.
FP1 prosthetic design means rehabilitation based on pure dental design in its standard dimensions, like crowns and bridges. FP2 designs look like periodontal crowns and bridges with tissue retractions. FP2 restorations always have longer teeth. FP3 design replaces not only the teeth but also the hard tissue component that is missing due to advanced bone resorption. In FP3 restorations, a flange of pink restorative material is mandatory. Such aesthetics is usually called white and pink aesthetics.
In this lecture, the biological principles of bone loss after tooth extraction will be discussed and presented, along with their consequences on our clinical approach. Where are the limits of immediate implant placement, and what are the prerequisites for safe and predictable implant placement in such an environment? Do we need bone substitutes, and can we restore the tooth or an entire arch on implants placed in an extraction socket? Through clinical cases, techniques, and procedures, we will present and discuss step-by-step methods for transitioning from single tooth replacement to full arch rehabilitation, and from anterior zone to posterior solutions.

Hands-on course
Workshop: Esthetic solution with immediate implant placement & immediate loading in the anterior zone – Digital Approach
During the hands-on course, every participant will practice immediate implant placement in a 3D position with abutment placement. The case on the model will be treated with the help of a surgical guide, which allows for the ideal prosthetic position of the implant. Immediate fabrication of a bridge will be done accordingly to preserve and create an optimal emergence profile. The site will be grafted, the final abutment will be placed, and the positioning and adaptation of the provisional bridge will be ensured for an ideal healing process. Each participant will be guided and assisted through this process of implantation, 3D positioning, and tissue adaptation.
