Soft Tissue Esthetics & Health - 10 Key Factors in Soft Tissue Management
LOD-173-00
Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">There are 10 key criteria that are important in implant therapy to achieve optimal soft tissue outcomes. The criteria are divided into 2 areas. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">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. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The procedural elements covered are implant spacing, implant vertical positioning, bone and soft grafting and provisional management. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This presentation will focus on the 10 key criteria as applied in implant therapy for selected patients. </p>
Newest Dental Laboratory Techniques in Implant Esthetics
LOD-168-00
Dr. Renzo Casellini
<span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_gvProdutos_ctl458_labelConteudoHtml"> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will present tissue management for anterior cases, the newest techniques in implant esthetics from single crowns to full mouth restorations on zirconia to PFM metal ceramic restorations or acrylic composite restorations. It will examine the difference between PFM metal restorations and zirconia fixed, cemented, or screw-retained.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will discuss the key elements of a Team Approach between the surgeon, the periodontist, the dentist, and the certified dental technologist so that success is achieved.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">You will learn about the 3D Pre-Planning with CAD/CAM on SIM-Plant that can help you determine exactly what kind of abutments will be best for the patient.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">And, finally, it will take you, step-by-step, through a case that begins as a disaster. Everything has to be extracted: Upper and lower. Multiple implants are placed. It is restored with full zirconia, and ends up an esthetic and functional success.</p></span>
Fixed Hybrid Prosthesis utilizing Zirconia - New Materials and Protocols

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.
