Non & Minimally Invasive Veneers
LOD-131-00
Dr. Louis Malcmacher
Non and Minimally invasive veneers is an area of dentistry that can really expand your practice. Many people want veneers. That want to improve their smiles. But, many wonder how they can afford it. This lecture will cover this aspect. But, it will focus on how do you do it. And, how do you help your patient understand the process and feel comfortable in moving forward with this option.
The Class IV restoration - Maximizing esthetics and predictability
LOD-129-00
Dr. Sunil Bhoolabhai
The lecture looks closely at the optical properties of anterior teeth and how to integrate resin with natural tooth structure to replace both the physical and optical properties of teeth. Layering techniques for Class IV direct resin restorations will be discussed in detail using the latest generation of resin systems.<br><br>Direct resins present many challenges that include gradual discoloration of the resin, marginal leakage, difficulty in obtaining a texture match and white lines at the margin. The presentation discusses finishing and polishing techniques that deliver indiscernible Class IV restorations without any shine thru.<br><br>Different methods of inserting Class IV’s with matrices and silicone stents will be discussed and demonstrated.

Dr. Vinny Celenza
Clear, accurate and easy to read replication of our tooth preparations is a pre-requisite to creating well fitting restorations. Making beautiful impressions requires much more than a knowledge of dental impression materials. This presentation is designed to develop an understanding and technique for: soft tissue control, tooth preparation design, precise margin placement, impressioning, and developing the room for our impression material. Clinical cases depicting particular clinical challenges will be presented and discussed in a way that allows the practitioner the ability to easily try these techniques in the office immediately.
Gingiva Colored Ceramics in Esthetic Dentistry
LOD-125-00
Dr. Harel Simon
Healthy appearance of the supporting tissue and its architecture are key components for achieving an esthetic dental restoration. It is therefore essential that the gingival tissue surrounding a restoration would be similar to that of the healthy adjacent teeth to create the illusion of natural dentition. Since the majority of patients tend to display a portion of their gingivae in a normal smile, lack of adequate gingival architecture and proper edentulous ridge contour in the horizontal and vertical dimensions may result in compromised esthetics and will, therefore, require further intervention.<br>The use of gingiva-colored ceramics has been suggested to address the esthetic needs in such patients. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the importance of proper gingival architecture and demonstrate the use of gingiva-colored ceramics in esthetic implant dentistry.
Veneer Restorations - Essential Steps for Esthetic Success
LOD-124-00
Laminate Ceramic Veneers are widely accepted as the treatment of choice for long term esthetic anterior restorations. Among many advantages, when compared with conventional crown preparation, this modality of treatment allows the clinician to obtain an outstanding result in terms of esthetic, as well as a conservative preparation, saving a great amount of tooth structure if correct planning is applied. Temporary restorations will be described carefully to help the dentist and the patient have a preview of the final treatment. Clinical success also depends on bonding procedures. Each detail of the most recommended technique for luting a ceramic veneer will be presented. The correct treatment planning is based on photography documentation, comunication with the laboratory and clinical steps. All of which will be discussed in this presentation.

The knowledge about natural oral esthetics and the interactive relationship between patient-clinician-technician constitute the basic strategies for successful esthetic rehabilitations. No matter how powerful technology becomes in today
LOD-111-02
Dr. Edward A. McLaren
This lecture focuses on materials, and combination cases: how to deal with a veneer and a crown, whether the crown is on a natural tooth or an implant. But first, an introduction on digital dental photography: what camera to use for what situation, and tips and tricks for optimal results.
LOD-111-01
Dr. Edward A. McLaren
This lecture explores implant placement relative to esthetics, specifically the recommended thought process for the implantologist when determining implant position to achieve a proper abutment design for esthetics. Materials for abutments will also be discussed and what cements to use for the anterior part of the region, with a focus on all-in-one cements.
