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.

The purpose of this two part series on "Restoration of 'Failing Teeth' with Implants in the Aesthetic Zone" is to help you predictably achieve highly esthetic outcomes that restore function and stand the test of time. This lecture will present the sound biological principles that can help you approach the treatment of challenging cases where your patient has a seriously compromised dentition. Surgical and prosthetic considerations will be discussed. Is the tooth maintainable? Is it more predictable to maintain the compromised tooth or extract and place an implant? We should always try to save the tooth if possible, but determining this requires analysis of the patient: How old is the patient? What is the tooth's dental history? What is the structural integrity of the tooth? What is the periodontal status? What are the functional demands? This lecture will present and discuss the key elements that we must consider when thinking about implants in the esthetic zone.
Anterior Implant Placement with Immediate Temporization Part 1 - Diagnostics, Examination, Planning
CV-054
Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic
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. This video will demonstrate the important steps of patients examination, the pre-treatment guidelines and considerations, the first intake and second planning interview and the 3-D planning with Cone-Beam CT scan software and the fabrication of the surgical template and acrylic temporary, choice of zirkonia implant abutment.<BR><BR>Part 2 of this patient treatment (available on CV-55) demonstrates the surgical implant placement, a moderate apical bone graft, and an immediate temporization.

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.
Implantoplasty: A Patient's Journey
LOD-217-00
Dr. Egon Euwe
This lecture follows a patient's journey to a procedure called implantoplasty. We will take you back in time to the year 2001, back when we treated our patient with an implant supported restoration. It's a fixed bridge, porcelain fused to metal, as these were typically treated 15-20 years ago. It was a passive fit, glued onto single abutments placed on five implants. The patient was wearing a traditional upper-denture with acrylic teeth and a lower fixed bridge with porcelain fused to metal. This caused excessive wear. Now there are better options which will be explained in this lecture. We can improve esthetics of the denture, and we can work with more modern and stronger materials in order to avoid the problem we faced years ago. The patient had also developed peri-implantitis at the site of one of her implants. This, of course, can be quite common. This lecture includes a clinical video that will show the surgical steps that were taken to treat this. The clinical video also includes a free gingival graft that was a part of the procedure. By the end, a stable result is achieved and maintained which will be shown in our patient's follow-up.

The edentulous patient is in need of a solution to stabilize a prosthesis to prevent malnutrition, progressive bone loss and social embarrassment.<BR><BR>Rehabilitation concepts for the edentulous patient depend on bone resorption, Smile-line, general and dental health, social and professional activities, age, and budget of the patient. Success relies on the edentulous anatomy, 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, 50-year old non-smoking male with a low lip-line and an edentulous upper jaw with an old ill-fitting denture. The case is shown from the surgical side and the lab technical side. NobelClinician 3-D planning software and surgical template are used to plan the flap design and surgical steps of implant placements.<BR><BR>Alveolar reduction, All-on-4 guide and axial and tilted implant positions are shown with the details of these steps. The fabrication and transition of the denture to a fixed hybrid denture are shown with an exit interview of the happy patient.<BR><BR>Part 1 of this patient treatment (available on CV-51) demonstrates the patient consultation, oral examination, 3D treatment planning and preparation for the surgical step.
