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.

Non & Minimally Invasive Veneers

LOD-131-00

Dr. Louis Malcmacher

54 min

Non and Minimally invasive veneers is an area of dentistry that can really expand your practice. Many people want veneers. That want to improve their smiles. But, many wonder how they can afford it. This lecture will cover this aspect. But, it will focus on how do you do it. And, how do you help your patient understand the process and feel comfortable in moving forward with this option.

Impressioning Revisited

LOD-128-00

Dr. Vinny Celenza

42 min

Clear, accurate and easy to read replication of our tooth preparations is a pre-requisite to creating well fitting restorations. Making beautiful impressions requires much more than a knowledge of dental impression materials. This presentation is designed to develop an understanding and technique for: soft tissue control, tooth preparation design, precise margin placement, impressioning, and developing the room for our impression material. Clinical cases depicting particular clinical challenges will be presented and discussed in a way that allows the practitioner the ability to easily try these techniques in the office immediately.

Prosthetic Cantilevers - Friend or Foe?

LOD-126-00

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.

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

Seeking Interdisciplinary Excellence

LOD-113-02

Dr. Frank Celenza

47 min

The integration of Periodontics with Orthodontics might seem perplexing at first. Whereas the specialty of Orthodontics has historically been associated with a younger patient population, that of Periodontics is probably associated with an older patient type. Why then, would one choose to practice the two together? Are there interactions that we, as clinicians can harness for our patients? <br> This presentation will outline and delineate what many of these combined treatment modalities are, and how they fit into interdisciplinary treatment planning. In many of these examples, the prosthetic and esthetic benefits will be illustrated. Further, the development and evolution of these combined specialties through the eyes and experiences of the presenter will be explored, with a perspective towards future developments that are of interest.

Implant Interactions in Orthodontics

LOD-113-01

Dr. Frank Celenza

47 min

Whereas the advent of successful and predictable implant dentistry has had a pronounced impact on the practice of restorative dentistry, the same might not be said for the effect implants have had upon the specialty of Orthodontics. However, this presenter feels strongly that a new era of Orthodontic involvement with implants is upon us, and will illustrate the fascinating ability of implants to facilitate tooth movement.<br> The development of implants as useful entities to an Orthodontist, both in the techniques of

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.
