Esthetics in a Diseased Periodontium - Tips & Tricks

LOD-263-00

Dr. Giorgio Tabanella

Periodontal tissue destruction related to periodontitis, trauma, biologic width violation, mucogingival deformities as well as iatrogenic dentistry may lead to multiple tooth loss. The rehabilitation of neighbouring teeth in aesthetically demanding areas when associated with advanced soft and hard tissue loss may represent a surgical and aesthetic clinical challenge.Preservation or creation of a soft tissue scaffold needed to create the illusion of a natural tooth is often difficult to achieve when the potential for tissue regeneration is reduced. Furthermore the placement of a dental implant in the aesthetic zone with neighbouring teeth with a damaged periodontium can be a real difficult task especially when there is no room for error: the diagnosis will lead clinicians to the correct way of treating patients.Release: 12/20/2014 | Expires: 12/20/2017

Soft Tissue Grafting for Implant Complications in the Esthetic Zone

LOD-204-00

Dr. Paul Lin

In this lecture, discover how to utilize Soft Tissue Grafting for correcting implant complications. Utilize 5 pink dilemmas to analyze the implant complications in the esthetic zone. Determine what the problem is: Is it a buccal concavity problem? Marginal recession? Papilla loss? Asymmetry? Or is it a color & texture problem? Utilize several soft tissue techniques: free gingival graft; connective tissue graft; modified roll technique; and modified VIP-CT technique. For the purposes of correction Dr. Lin breaks down implant complications into 7 categories. The steps for managing implant complications are similar to periodontal therapy.With proper case selection, patient selection, and procedure selection you will be able to achieve management of complications by soft tissue in a predictable way.

Implant placement in fresh extraction sockets. Key decision factors

LOD-193-00

Prof. Mariano Sanz

It is well established that tooth extraction will result in an apico-coronal as well as bucco-lingual reduction of the alveolar ridge, mostly in the buccal aspects of the extraction site.In order to avoid this physiological bone loss some clinicians have advocated the immediate installation of implants in fresh extraction sockets. Different clinical studies have evaluated the impact of this implant placement surgical approach on different outcomes, such as: implant survival, bone crest alterations and aesthetic results.However, in spite of these reports, there is a lack of well-designed clinical trials that have evaluated these outcomes systematically and there is a lack of knowledge on the possible factors associated with different hard and soft tissue outcomes of this surgical protocol.This presentation will review the results from clinical trials evaluating the immediate implant placement approach and we hall review the important risk factors (implant design, implant position, implant location, thickness of bony walls, etc.) involved in the clinical outcome.Finally we shall provide some clinical recommendations on the use of this surgical approach.

Soft Tissue Esthetics & Health - 10 Key Factors in Soft Tissue Management

LOD-173-00

Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic

There are 10 key criteria that are important in implant therapy to achieve optimal soft tissue outcomes. The criteria are divided into 2 areas. The first area involves the biomaterial elements in therapy, while the second involves procedural issues. The biomaterial elements of implant surface, the implant neck, abutment material, the sub gingival abutment design, and abutment reconnection will be discussed. The procedural elements covered are implant spacing, implant vertical positioning, bone and soft grafting and provisional management. This presentation will focus on the 10 key criteria as applied in implant therapy for selected patients.

This course provides a complete overview covering the various principles and clinical procedures needed for crown lengthening. We cover indications, contraindications, and methods of managing surrounding bone. Topics include: how to handle hard and soft tissues; proper surgical techniques; and relocation of all structures that comprise the biologic width, namely: sulcus, junctional epithelium, connective tissue fibers, and bone. Dentists who want to do some or most of their own crown extensions, or those who just want to know more about the subject, will be helped by this course.  Crown extension is one of the most commonly required procedures in restorative dentistry, yet is often underutilized.

This lecture will focus on how to correct Esthetic Implant Complications by utilizing soft tissue augmentation procedures. Implant dentistry has brought our patients many benefits. However we do encounter complications, especially in the esthetic zone when implants are misplaced, or not properly planned. While some complications can be corrected, some cannot be if there is too much bone loss. Cases of each will be discussed.

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.
