Achieving Ultimate Aesthetics with Implants in the Aesthetic Zone - Lecture I
LOD-035-01
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.
Endo or Implant - Rational decision making from an Endodontist's viewpoint
LOD-029-00
Dr. L. Stephen Buchanan
As an Endodontists who places implants, Dr. Buchanan presents a uniquely balanced argument for when to save teeth with endodontic therapy and when the patient will be better served by replacement of the tooth with an implant. Dr. Buchanan will first explain the procedural advances available from endodontic specialists to save many teeth previously thought to be unsalvageable, including microsurgery, MTA root repair material, ultrasonics, and state-of-the-art shaping, cleaning, and 3D obturation technology. Then he will discuss how the structural integrity of roots greatly affects the long term prognosis of endodontically-treated teeth and methods for maintaining the inherent strength of teeth being saved with RCT. Finally, Dr. Buchanan will explore the advantages and satisfaction of a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment planning with an emphasis on the new trend of endodontists to view themselves as understructure specialists.
New Single-Resin Treatment Modality For a Direct Post and Core Build-up
CV-040
Dr. Stefan Paul
According to standard practice today, 3 to 4 different materials, which are often from different manufacturers, are required for bonding to dentin and enamel, fabricating composite core build ups, and adhesive cementation. Therefore, it would be desirable to have one integrated system available.<br><br>Coltene/Whaledent has recently developed a dual-cured composite material, the ParaPost ParaCore Automix system, which can be used as a cement as well as a core build up material. Coltène/Whaledent describes this time-saving application as the 'Monoblock Technique'. This technique is particularly suitable whenever light-transmitting, metal-free root canal posts are used with endodontically-treated teeth that will be fitted with a crown.<br><br>The present DVD shows step-by-step how this new single resin treatment modality can be used to save time for direct post-and-core procedures.
Patient Options for the Edentulous Maxilla
LOD-271-00
Dr. Yvan Fortin
In this lecture, Dr. Yvan Fortin will discuss the Fully Edentulous Maxilla. He will focus on solutions without bone grafting and without restorative compromise. He will discuss different surgical tools such as short implants, tilted implants, and zygomatic implants. He will also discuss various prosthetic options: a fixed bridge with natural papillae, a fixed bridge replacing soft tissue deficiency including papillae, and a fixed-detachable bridge managing lip support with flange. Dr. Fortin will discuss 'molar-to-malar alignment' with zygomatic implants. It is a unique approach that is minimally invasive, predictable, and provides excellent stability with just a regular flap, and produces impressive results.<br /><br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 1/29/2015 | Expires: 1/29/2018</span>
The Art and Science of Surgical Crown Lengthening
LOD-137-00
Dr. Barry Wagenberg
Surgical Crown Lengthening is one of the most misunderstood and difficult procedures to perform. It's time consuming, it's technically and psychologically difficult, and requires the therapist to remove a substantial amount of tooth structure and bone around adjacent roots. The procedure that is demonstrated in this lecture will feature a technique in which you can preserve the coronal bone, and determine whether the crown lengthening procedure is feasible, or will it endanger the adjacent root structures, or will it create a set of defects prior to removing any adjacent bone.
Advanced Implant Treatment Planning - A Systematic Approach
LOD-142-00
Dr. Alexandre-Amir Aalam
Dental and periodontal loss of structures is associated with multiple challenges in proper implant treatment planning. Temporization and site development procedures are a major difficulty for such patients. A detailed evaluation and comprehensive treatment plan should always precede any irreversible act such as an extraction. Interplay between the specialties is the hallmark of success in any multidisciplinary treatment plan. This presentation illustrates how to maximize patient comfort and satisfaction while progressing through complex dental treatments.<br> <br> <span class='style2'>REVIEWS/FEEDBACK:</span><br> <font color='#000000' face='verdana' size='2'><font color='#0099ff'>'There is a class of patient cases that present some bewilderment, namely large, advanced cases. This new lecture in the gIDE lecture library, 'Advanced Implant Treatment Planning: A Systematic Approach' with Dr. Alexandre Aalam & Dr. Mamaly Reshad, presents a well thought out introduction to advanced treatment planning. With their multi-disciplinary, four pillared approach of 'Posterior Support', 'Site Development', Space Management' & 'Esthetics' they make sense of what otherwise can seem mysterious.'</font><br> <font color='#ff6600'>- Dr. David E.

Extraction Site Management for Alveolar Ridge Preservation
LOD-143-00
Prof. Eric Rompen
This lecture will focus on how to manage the extraction socket in the esthetic zone. What do we do not to lose too much volume? Management for both immediate and delayed implant placement will be discussed.<br> <br> <span class='style2'>REVIEWS/FEEDBACK:</span><br> <font color='#000000' face='verdana' size='2'><font color='#0099ff'>'An innovative approach!

Challenging Composite Restoration With Free-Hand-Bonding - An Illusion Became Reality
LOD-008-00
Dr. Didier Dietschi
The growing concern of patients for tissue preservation and oral aesthetics has rejuvenated 'free-hand bonding with composites' and made it a primary treatment option for the anterior teeth. This lecture covers fundamental knowledge about color and optical properties, different treatment options with composite restorations, and provides a comprehensive description of clinical procedures.
