Fixed Hybrid Prosthesis utilizing Zirconia - New Materials and Protocols

LOD-165-00

Dr. Stefano Conti

31 min

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This presentation will focus on a hybrid prosthesis, utilizing zirconia and the role of prosthetic gingiva in esthetic implant dentistry. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will see a pretty new treatment option that will give us the possibility to have complete control on the esthetic in a way that we have never been able to do before. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Some the questions that we will answer in this presentation are: <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Why should we provide a hybrid prosthesis for our patients instead of a traditional one? <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Is this prosthetic option really predictable in achieving a natural esthetic for long term success? <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Which materials should we use Today, and why?</p>

Aesthetic Periodontal Surgery to Enhance Restorative Results

LOD-162-00

Dr. James Kohner

48 min

This course provides a complete overview covering the various principles and clinical procedures needed for crown lengthening in the Aesthetic zone. We cover indications, contraindications, and methods of managing surrounding bone.<br><br><strong>Topics include:</strong><ul><li>How to handle hard and soft tissues</li><li>Proper surgical techniques</li><li>Preservation of esthetics in the final tissue contours and relocation of all structures that comprise the biologic width, namely: sulcus, junctional epithelium, connective tissue fibers, and bone.</li></ul><br><br>The role of Lasers for gingival reduction is addressed.

Cirugia Plastica Oral (SPANISH LANGUAGE ONLY)

LOD-156-00

Dr. Nelson Carranza

72 min

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Our patients are requesting almost perfect esthetic results. Restorative dentistry is responding with new materials and techniques that allow wonderful tooth mimicking. In many cases, especially in implant dentistry, the challenge still present today relies on soft tissue management. Periodontal surgery is evolving to meet these challenges into a new concept termed

The Art and Science of Surgical Crown Lengthening

LOD-137-00

Dr. Barry Wagenberg

46 min

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.

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.

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

Anterior Implant Positioning for Ideal Abutment Design, Biology and Function & Abutment Materials and Design, Part II

LOD-111-02

Dr. Edward A. McLaren

69 min

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.
