Immediate Implant Placement in the Esthetic Zone

LOD-135-00

Dr. Joseph Kan

53 min

This lecture will focus on the dynamics of gingival tissue, and how it responds to immediate, compared to delayed from a scientific and clinical perspective. The key points for achieving optimal gingival esthetics will be discussed.

Why Guided Surgery (Part 1) - A Restorative Perspective

LOD-134-00

Dr. Christopher B. Marchack

60 min

To achieve an ideal prosthetic result with dental implants, it takes proper treatment planning. The use of surgical templates, helps ensure the correct implant position. Traditional implant placement, with conventional surgical templates are restorative driven, although it does not account for anatomical factors that will make it impossible to place the implant. CAD/CAM surgical templates or guided templates, through the use of surgical planning software allows for a restorative driven implant placement along with a three dimensional view of the patient’s anatomy. This presentation will discuss the advantages of guided surgery in treating patients with this advancing technology.

Treatment of Gingival Recession - Part 2 of Achieving Esthetic Predictability in Periodontology (2 Part Series)

LOD-133-00

Dr. Andre Saadoun

57 min

A major evolution in periodontology has taken place with less invasive surgery and more sophisticated approaches.<br><br>The predictability of the different therapeutic modalities and the long-term prognosis involve a scientific approach in all clinical procedures using one or several delicate osseous and/or muco-gingival plastic surgeries.<br><br>Part 2 focuses on the treatment of gingival recession.

Crown Lengthening - Part 1 of Achieving Esthetic Predictability in Periodontology (2 Part Series)

Gingiva Colored Ceramics in Esthetic Dentistry

LOD-125-00

Dr. Harel Simon

61 min

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.

Implant Practice Management and Marketing

LOD-123-00

Dr. Zeljko Popadic

49 min

This presentation covers the important steps in clinical practice how to communicate the skills of an implant clinician and how to organize the dental office staff. In todays modern world, a clinician has to be trained to be a manager running a small, medium or large corporation. How do I motivate my staff? How do i brand my office or clinic? What logo do I use to represent me and my skills? What communication do I have with my patients locally or further off? Can the internet be used to introduce and position a dental office in front of the eyes of a prospective patient and what should be placed into a website? These are all questions which are important for a clinician today and Dr. Popadic has impressive knowledge in this topic and knows how to transfer it to his colleagues.

Treatment of Complications in Sinus Grafting

LOD-122-00

Dr. Istvan Urban

59 min

This lecture covers some of the most important points in implant surgery and in particular in sinus bone graft surgery which have to do with preventing problems and complications and how to diagnose and treat them when they arise. It is very difficult to find a scientific presentation on this topic and is therefore highly recommended for the implant clinician who performs or is getting ready to perform sinus bone graft surgery.

Ridge Augmentation Using rhPDGF Growth Factors

LOD-121-00

Prof. Massimo Simion

40 min

This lecture covers the topic of ridge augmentation using the line of growthfactors termed rhPDGF (Gem-21) mixed with xenograft, TCP and autograft for implant placement. The scientific background and the first clinical cases are discussed and demonstrated. The new bone graft material shows to be an enhancement to the current technique of GBR.

Technology & Artistry

LOD-120-00

Michel Magne MDT

70 min

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
