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.

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.

The single missing tooth patient in the anterior esthetic zone is in need of a solution that stabilizes a crown, supports healthy gingival margins, develops an esthetic emergence profile with full gingival contour and prevents the need for invasive dental treatment of the adjacent teeth.<BR><BR>Implant protocols for the single tooth patient depend on bone resorption, gingival biotype, Smile-line, general and dental health, social and professional activities, age, and budget of the patient. Success relies on the bone anatomy, soft tissue management, proper planning, surgical and restorative technique used, and factors related to patient's healing behavior.<BR><BR>The referred patient in this video is a healthy, 32-year old non-smoking male with a high lip-line and a single missing upper-right canine with no previous restorative treatment. The canine was previously removed due to boney impaction. The case is shown from the surgical side and the lab technical side. Cone beam 3-D planning and surgical template are used to plan the flap design and surgical steps of implant placements.<BR><BR>Incisions, horizontal and vertical, optimal implant position, apical GBR bone graft placement, flap release and suture placement are shown in detail through each step. The fabrication and adaptation of the zirkonia abutment and the acrylic temporary and the cementation and occlusal adjustment are shown with an exit interview of the happy patient. A follow-up result of 6 weeks and 6 months shows the guided soft tissue growth.<BR><BR>Part 1 of this patient treatment (available on CV-55) demonstrates the patient consultation, oral examination, 3D treatment planning and preparation for the surgical step and implant temporization.
Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures (Part 1 of 4)

Dr. Oswaldo Scopin de Andrade
English
In Part 1 of this 4 part series on Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures, Dr. Oswaldo Scopin will start with a short introduction about this concept which is essential for clinical longevity. He will present his findings from a study he published showing results from a long-term analysis of laminate veneers.<br /><br />Dr Scopin will explain the important steps to achieve the 'perfect' margin of a restoration. How do you continue this year after year? What is important to maintain clinical control? How do we achieve the 'perfect' marginal adaptation? Do we change the preparation? Do we change the ceramic? Do we try to preserve more tooth structure? Each of these questions will be addressed, all with a focus on minimally invasive restorative dentistry.
