Flapless Surgery for Implant Placement

LOD-264-00

48 min

In this lecture Dr William Becker will demonstrate how with implant placement experience you can easily transition into minimally invasive flapless procedures. Utilizing a simple protocol for diagnosis and treatment planning (like one would do for any other patient) and a precision drill you can achieve an osteotomy with no bleeding, and no post-operative pain. With real cases he will walk you through step-by-step.<br /><br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 1/14/2015 | Expires: 1/14/2018</span>

Nutrition - Designing Smiles from the Inside Out

LOD-262-00

Dr. Sanda Moldovan

40 min

In this presentation, Dr Sanda Moldovan will discuss nutrition as it applies to patient outcomes.<br /><br />After years of study and experience as both a periodontist and nutritionist, Dr Moldovan has seen the connection between nutrition and clinical results.<br /><br />We have a global epidemic of obesity Today. Over 30% of US adults are obese. What does that mean for us as practitioners? We know that these patients are not going to heal well. They are going to have a lot of inflamation, pain, and excessive swelling. This presentation will discuss how to deal with these patients.<br /><br />Dr. Moldovan will discuss what is important in bone healing and soft tissue healing, and what nutritional support options are available for maximizing these processes.<br /><br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 1/24/2015 | Expires: 1/24/2018</span>

Alveolar Ridge Preservation for Implant and Pontic Site Development

LOD-249-00

Dr. Barry Bartee

83 min

In this presentation Dr. Bartee will discuss the scientific basis for ridge preservation. He will discuss the materials that are available and the pros and cons of each. Dr Bartee will show a technique that he developed using Dense PTFE membrane with and without collagen for the treatment of simple defects, as well as more complex defects. Dr Bartee will also share an approach to treatment planning that is organized, and systematic so that you can have some idea before you start the case of a logical sequential treatment plan that will result in predictability.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 11/7/2014 | Expires: 11/7/2017</span>

A Novel Approach to Implant Screw-Retained Restorations

LOD-248-00

Dr. Giacomo Fabbri

43 min

The use of zirconia is an esthetic alternative to metal for implant supported frameworks and it is considered primarily for its high biocompatibility, low bacterial surface adhesion, high flexural strength, and high mechanical features due to the transformation toughening mechanism. The zirconia frameworks in fixed prosthetic restorations supported by implants is commonly covered with hand-layered overlay porcelain. This technical procedure is highly esthetic but it causes some complications such as fracture of the porcelain layers.<br /><br />The purpose of this lecture is to introduce an innovative approach for creating an esthetic fixed ceramic implant restoration to minimize and facilitate the repairing of these mechanical complications. This approach provides the combination of zirconia frameworks with lithium disilicate restorations cemented on the top with an adhesive cement in order to have final screw retained rehabilitations. This technique can be used both in cases of partial or complete rehabilitation and the topics that we will discuss are concerning the framework design that is a prosthetic design not anatomical design like in the case of a layered framework where it is important to maintain a uniform thickness of layered ceramic on the top. The manufacturing of monolithic lithium disilicate restorations both anteriorly and posteriorly, lithium disilicate is a material that doesn

Paradigm Shift: Soft Tissue Concept

LOD-245-00

Dr. IƱaki Gamborena

66 min

In this lecture presentation Dr Gamborena will discuss the Soft Tissue Concept and what it is about. We can face a lot of problems when we get to the surgical part. We can find ourselves with prosthetics and healing abutments that are way too big. Dr Gamborena will share information about a healing abutment that he has been working with for the last 6-8 years, and that has finally entered the market as of fall 2014. He will show how the abutment works and how you can improve the maximization of your space and be able to graft at the ridge with a totally different approach: Following the concept about what we do Today around implants, compensating the volume from bone, shifting into the soft tissue and being able to create prosthetically something beyond what you might be used to so far.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 9/2/2014 | Expires: 9/2/2017</span>

Integrated Rehabilitation Using Adjacent Implants in the Esthetic Region

LOD-242-00

Dr. Robert Carvalho da Silva

40 min

This clinical case presentation depicts a comprehensive resolution of a complex clinical condition in which periodontic, prosthesis, and implant concepts are utilized. In this scenario, both upper central incisors are extracted and replaced with immediate implants followed by immediate temporization using the patient

Socket Management: Immediate Implants vs. Socket Preservation

LOD-241-00

Dr. Robert Carvalho da Silva

50 min

This lecture describes a straight-forward decision-tree associated with socket management following tooth extraction. Immediate implants as well as socket preservation are adequate options that should lead to predictable aesthetic and predictable outcomes. The moment of implant placement should not alter the final outcome, as long as the

Immediate vs. Late Implantation Replacing Multiple Adjacent Missing Teeth in the Anterior Maxilla

LOD-240-00

Dr. Devorah Schwartz-Arad

46 min

Immediate implantation and immediate provisional restoration is a well-documented surgical-prosthetic technique for the replacement of single tooth.<br /><br />One critical goal in implant placement is the achievement of optimal soft and hard tissue integration with minimal post-operative tissue alterations. Flapless Immediate post-extraction placement, socket augmentation and immediate provisional restoration seem to be a technique that gives satisfactory results in selected cases. <br /><br />The main rationale and one of the most important reasons for immediate implantation and loading is the preservation tissue dimensions both bone and soft tissue. Moreover, when bone shape and quality are compromised, immediate implantation becomes a major contributing success factor. Nevertheless, most of the literature and clinical data relates to single tooth replacement and not to multiple neighboring hopeless teeth.<br /><br />This presentation will discuss the rational and benefits of multiple neighboring immediate implantations and loading in the esthetic zone. The pros and cones as well as indications, case selection and complications will be referred and cases of multiple immediate implantations accompanied with immediate loading in the esthetic zone, will be presented.
