Updated 10 Keys Checklist for Immediate Implant Placement at Maxillary Incisor Sites
Speaker
Dr. Robert A. Levine founded the Pennsylvania Center for Dental Implants and Periodontics in Philadelphia in 1981. He graduated from Temple University School of Dentistry in 1981, received his post-grad certificate in Periodontics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1984 and is presently a Clinical Professor in Post-Graduate Periodontics and Dental Implantology at the Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry, a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry at Chapel Hill and an Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois College of Dentistry at Chicago. Dr. Levine is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, Fellow of the College of Physicians in Philadelphia (FCPP), President and Fellow of the International Society of Periodontal Plastic Surgeons (FISPPS), and a Fellow and a Board of Director of the Academy of Osseointegration (AO). He has lectured extensively both nationally and internationally, serves on the Editorial Boards of numerous international scientific dental journals and has authored close to 90 published articles and 4 book chapters. He is also a Fellow of the International Team for Implantology (ITI) of Basel, Switzerland and will be participating in the 7th ITI Consensus Conferences in Lisbon (2023) to establish treatment protocols for implant dentistry worldwide. Dr. Levine also shares his knowledge and 37 years of clinical experience with periodontal, prosthodontic, and general practice residencies throughout the United States and abroad as a visiting professor and mentor.
His family runs the Growing Smiles Foundation which has treated children and adults in low-income areas in Lima, Peru for 6 years prior to COVID which was coordinated and run by his daughter, Dr. Bari Levine, a pediatric dentist with dental students and faculty from Temple University and UPC Dental School in Lima, Peru.
He presently leads a clinical research team with Dr. Mauricio Araujo from State University of Maringa, Brazil, and Temple University on a series of retrospective studies on immediate implant placement in the maxillary central incisor region which he treated in private practice and will share today.

Course Description
This clinical, usable information packed presentation will describe & identify 10 essential keys for performing immediate single tooth replacement of a hopeless maxillary central incisor. This treatment is considered a complex procedure and a team approach is suggested as the maxillary central incisor is seen as having the most esthetic zone failures resulting in unhappy patients. Once this occurs, restoring the lost hard and soft tissues to their original pre-surgical levels is near impossible.
Educational Objectives
- Recognize the “human factors” that can be the primary causes of technical and environmental complications in implant dentistry due to the lack of “checklists”
- Describe the “10 Keys” team approach and its use as a diagnostic, surgical and prosthetic sequential checklist to avoid esthetic zone complications
- Understand the importance of phenotype modification as part of the surgical protocol with use of autogenous soft tissue grafting or a volume stable collagen matrix
