Dr. Robert Carvalho da Silva
Gingival Recession therapy is one important solution in contemporary periodontics.<br />Success relies on the localized anatomy, selected technique, and factors related to patient's healing response and post-op behavior.<br /><br />The referred patient was a healthy, 26-year old female non-smoker with a gummy smile and localized Miller's Class I gingival recessions. The recession was 5 to 6 mm deep on both upper first canines.<br /><br />Oblique and paramarginal incision were used to create the flap design, and a CT graft was used to improve the thickness of the gingival margins. Enamel Matrix Derivative (Emdogain) was also used to improve the healing aspect.<br /><br />Two-and-a-half-years follow-up depicts 100% root coverage with excellent color match and volume as compared with adjacent teeth and gingival margins.
Achieving Ultimate Aesthetics with Implants in the Aesthetic Zone (3 Lecture Series)
LOD-035-00
Dr. Tidu Mankoo
Achieving Ultimate Aesthetics with Implants in the Aesthetic Zone<br>This advanced surgical and prosthetic course will outline the author's contemporary concepts in management of single tooth implants in the aesthetic zone with a view to achieving optimum long term aesthetics and stability. The topic is divided into 3 consecutive lectures designed to be taken as a series. The emphasis will be on the diagnosis, treatment planning and clinical management and an understanding and application of the biological factors that influence our treatment outcomes. The cases will range form simple to complex single tooth cases in both healed ridge and extraction situations following onto the management of multiple adjacent implants, large cases and full arch/full mouth restoration.<br><br>Lecture I:<br>This lecture will present the different techniques to enhance the aesthetic emergence profile of the implant site and the health of the peri-implant tissues. Oral plastic surgical procedures like connective tissue augmentation, mucogingival treatment and special soft tissue flap designs for predictable bone graft coverage will be presented. New techniques for uncovering of implants with hydrokinetic laser therapy without local anesthesia will also be shown.<br><br>Lecture II:<br>This lecture will deal with immediate implant cases, immediate tooth replacement and implant replacement into complex and compromised extraction sites with a view to optimising the aesthetic outcome. Different forms of provisionalisation will be demonstrated. Advantages and limitations of the technique will be discussed along with the use of a different implant and abutment designs. Concepts for maintenance of soft tissue architecture and stability will be presented. <br><br>Lecture III:<br>This lecture will deal with multiple and adjacent tooth restoration in healed sites, in immediate replacement and in compromised cases.
Sinus and Socket Bone Augmentation with Simultaneous Placement of 3 Dental Implants
CV-056
Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic
The posterior maxillary partially edentulous patient is in need of a solution that stabilizes a crown or bridge, supports healthy gingival tissues, develops a functioning occlusion and prevents the need for removable appliances. Sinus lift protocols have been developed over the last 30 years but depend on existing bone volume, general and dental health, social and professional activities, patient wishes and budget of the patient. Success relies on the bone anatomy, soft tissue management, proper planning, surgical and restorative technique used, bone graft material of choice and factors related to patient's healing behavior.<BR><BR>The referred patient in this video is a healthy, 62-year old non-smoking asian male with 3 missing upper-right teeth. The teeth were previously removed due to endodontic and periodontal involvement. At the time of extractions, the premolars were grafted with a biomaterial. The case is shown from the surgical side and the final result after 2 years of loading. Cone beam 3-D planning is used to plan the bone graft method, the flap design and surgical steps of implant placements.<BR><BR>Incisions, horizontal and vertical, lateral open sinus window technique with a diamond rotary instrument, sinus lift procedure with hand instruments, autogenous and xenograft placement, resorbable GBR membrane adaptation, 3 optimal implant positions, flap release and suture placement are shown in detail through each step. The uncovering technique with a soft tissue papilla management procedure is shown with the 2 year follow-up with a functional and esthetic result in the patient.

How to successfully evaluate and present cases, including determining fees; A proven protocol
LOD-022-01
Dr. Sam Strong
This program reviews a succession of appointments to analyze cases for implant treatment. Beginning with the initial exam through diagnostic workup and case presentation, an organized method for evaluation is presented. Case presentation is a 'make it or break it' event requiring effective presentation skills and use of visual aids by the dentist or auxiliary team member. Various means of conveying this needed information are shown that will allow the patient to make an intelligent, informed decision about implant therapy and alternatives.
Endodontic Rotary Instrumentation - How to achieve maximum efficiency while eliminating failure
LOD-085-00
Dr. John T. McSpadden
There may be more instrumentation technique recommendations than there are endodontic instruments available. Obviously, all cannot be the 'best' approach. Are these techniques confusing motion with accomplishment and time with safety? This presentation describes 6 basic principles that enable the practitioner to maximize endodontic rotary instrumentation in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and safety for any type endodontic file available today and as they become available in the future. Saving valuable time and eliminating pernicious stress are the result.
