Classification for Minimally Invasive Sinus Bone Grafting (Part 2 of 2)
LOD-195-00
Dr. Samuel Lee
Sinus bone grafting can be intimidating for many clinicians as well as for our patients. In this lecture, we will discuss some common complications that can arise from sinus bone grafting as well as how to manage and avoid complications. Four classifications of sinus morphology will be presented along with guidelines for avoiding morbidity while performing a sinus lift.<BR><BR>A step-by-step demonstration of the Crestal Window technique will be shown along with a narration of the entire process. A demonstration of the lateral window technique will also be shown where the sinus wall opening is made within 3 seconds using a specialized instrument.<BR><BR>Furthermore, the same membrane that is lifted can be placed back into the original location. In this lecture, we will also discuss short and wide implants and when is best to utilize them.

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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Finally we shall provide some clinical recommendations on the use of this surgical approach.
Predictable and Successful Maxillary Sinus Augmentation
LOD-192-00
Dr. Toshiro Sugai
In this presentation, we will identify safer and more predictable maxillary sinus augmentation procedures. We will discuss how to utilize CT imaging to evaluate and interpret the 3D anatomy of the sinus, including ostium, superior alveolar artery, and septa. Dr. Sugai will describe how to predictably lift the sinus membrane and avoid complications.
Predictable Soft Tissue Grafting for Esthetics in Thin Periodontium
LOD-191-00
Dr. Paul Lin
This presentation will discuss the thin periodontium and how to utilize this to achieve predictable soft tissue grafting for esthetics.<br /><br />Soft tissue grafting by root coverage and augmentation can improve the facial esthetics not just for natural teeth, but also for implants.<br /><br />By utilizing the same concept of placing the soft tissue on the thin periodontium we can help augment the tissue around implants and dentures and improve and enhance the facial esthetics.<br /><br />Animations will illustrate this concept and provide insight as to how we take the soft tissue away from the pallate and harvest it in an elegant, more predictable fashion.<br /><br />This will also show how to secure the covering flap so the patient will not experience any pain after the surgery.<br /><br />This presentation is intended to increase your understanding, comfort and confidence in performing soft tissue grafting in a more predictable way.

Complete Zirconia Restorations - Implant Supported
LOD-189-00
Dr. Fernando Rojas-Vizcaya
The most frequently encountered problem with fixed detachable dental prostheses is loosening or fracture of the prosthetic screws. Other problems include wear, separation or fracture of the resin teeth from the metal/acrylic prosthesis, chipping or fracture of porcelain from the metal/ceramic or zirconia/ceramic prosthesis, and fracture of the framework in some free-end prostheses.<BR><BR>For this type of prosthesis it is necessary to place the implants in a position that enables occlusal or lingual access so as not to impair the esthetics. When we make our restoration out of 100% zirconia we avoid the chipping. This lecture will discuss monolithic zirconia for fixed detachable restorations.<BR><BR>It's a new concept working with this type of material, and doing this type of restoration. But esthetic outcomes and promising clinical results will be presented. Beautiful cases will be displayed where complete ziconia is used to restore the pink and white esthetic of our patients when esthetics is a very important concern.<BR><BR>You will see:<BR>how to work in your office with this type of restoration;<BR>how you need to evaluate;<BR>how you need to work with the prosthesis that you receive from your dental technician;<BR>how you need to check the mouth of the patient, and how from the block of zirconia you can make your monolithic zirconia restoration.<BR><BR>You will learn, step-by-step: how to achieve the color in the prosthesis; how the dental technician can create a beautiful pink and white esthetic. All the occlusal surfaces, the incisal edge, the full prosthesis is all made from a block of zirconia. And, all without chipping.

The 3D Click Guide - A New Direction for Model-Based Guided Implant Placement
LOD-187-00
Dr. Lambert Stumpel
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Guided surgery holds the promise to place dental implants in predetermined positions; allowing many clinical decisions to be made before the actual surgical procedure. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Computer guided surgery has been made possible through the increased accessibility of (CB) CT technology. It allows clinicians who do not have the experience of placing 1000+ implants per year, to deliver, in selected cases, the same superior care as the master surgeons.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Model based guided surgery has historically been in the shadow of its high tech cousin; until now. The 3 D Click Guide is a modularly adjustable surgical guide system. While primarily a model based system, utilizing minimally invasive bone sounding, it allows easy integration with CBCT as needed.
