Excellence in Dental Aesthetics: New Trends and Materials in Aesthetic Implantology

LOD-212-00

Luc Rutten MDT

34 min

Clinicians and dental technicians have access to an astounding array of new technologies, tools and materials to design predictable beautiful smiles.<BR><BR>This presentation puts an emphasis on a close co-operation between prosthodontist, periodontist, implantologist and dental technician. In addition, a focus is placed on different surgical, clinical and prosthetic techniques to achieve successful aesthetics.<BR><BR>Material selection is fundamental in management of complex rehabilitation and on implants. The aesthetic outcome and the natural appearance of the restoration depends on the skills of the dental technician. Understanding of the gingiva of the dental technician will be explained to re-create in a two-way communication an aesthetic end result. New concepts and trends with focus on zirconium dioxide and its excellent long-term behaviour and extraordinary mechanical properties, will be discussed to realize predictable natural oral aesthetics around implants.

Dental Photography - Level 1

LOD-205-00

Dr. Todd Schoenbaum

40 min

This program provides an overview of the basics of efficient, effective dental photography. Guidelines will be given for equipment selection, appropriate clinical techniques, and camera settings.<BR><BR>Also included are the basics of dental shade photography, use of contrastors, and patient communication. The goal of this program is provide an efficient framework for the beginning dental photographer to select and use their equipment accurately and efficiently.

Retreatment in Endodontics - From Difficult to Complicated Cases

LOD-197-00

Dr. Constantinos Laghios

61 min

In this lecture we will describe the relationship of the root canal anatomy to the lesions that are developed at the periradicular area.<BR><BR>We will also give all the details how to remove safely different kind of materials like gutta-percha, silver cones, broken instruments, posts and pastes.<BR><BR>Details will be given as to avoid any mistakes that would possibly endanger the retreatment perforations and absorptions will be treated in a fast, predictable and simple way.

Unusual TMD Cases - Unusual Treatment

LOD-196-00

Dr. Ilia Roussou

33 min

In this lecture, we will discuss unusual Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) cases and unusual treatments.<BR><BR>We will focus specifically on occlusion and how the relationship of the dental arches interacts with the stability of the Stomatognathic system.<BR><BR>Occlusion is one of the most demanding aspects of dentistry, we all know about the term occlusion confusion.<BR><BR>Although occlusion used to be the main etiological factor for Temporomandibular Disorders and many dental treatments were performed in order to address the pain symptoms, nowadays the literature suggest that the static relationship of the dental arches is rarely the etiological factor for an intracapsular TM joint disorders or a masticatory muscles disorders, In some cases though, were the occlusion compromises the orthopedic stability of the stomatognathic system, once the pain symptoms are treated the dental problem needs to be investigated as a possible etiological factor of the TMD symptoms.

The 3D Click Guide - A New Direction for Model-Based Guided Implant Placement

LOD-187-00

Dr. Lambert Stumpel

55 min

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Guided surgery holds the promise to place dental implants in predetermined positions; allowing many clinical decisions to be made before the actual surgical procedure.   <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Computer guided surgery has been made possible through the increased accessibility of (CB) CT technology.  It allows clinicians who do not have the experience of placing 1000+ implants per year, to deliver, in selected cases, the same superior care as the master surgeons.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Model based guided surgery has historically been in the shadow of its high tech cousin; until now. The 3 D Click Guide is a modularly adjustable surgical guide system.  While primarily a model based system, utilizing minimally invasive bone sounding, it allows easy integration with CBCT as needed.  It

A New Common Sense Approach to Full Mouth Rehabilitation Using Direct Composite and Limited Implants

LOD-185-00

Dr. Jose Luis Ruiz

55 min

<div style="text-align: justify;">All of us have patients who have destroyed their teeth usually due to occlusal disease...patients who have missing teeth.  And, unfortunately, many of these patients do not have the funds to pay for a full mouth rehabilitation.  And, even if they did, we do not believe that the full-mouth rehabilitations are ideal anymore.<br /> <br /> We see journal articles showing patients who have virgin teeth, and in the end they are treated with a full mouth of crowns.  We know from experience in our practices that these patients do not do very well: The margins below the gums cause our patients to have unhealthy gums; and, then when they have caries below the gums, trying to treat this becomes a nightmare.  That is why using minimally based super-gingival dentistry is the best for our patients.  We do not have to grind the teeth.  We can use new adhesive dentistry.  And we can give our patients excellent results without having to destroy their natural teeth.<br /> <br /> We will examine cases where patients who might have traditionally been treated with full-mouth rehabilitation, are instead treated with bonded dentistry.  In one case we will use direct composites and some indirect composites and almost no grinding on the natural teeth.  Meanwhile, we are able to provide the patients with the esthetics and the function that the patient needs.<br /> <br /> We will discuss the seven signs and symptoms of occlusal disease which is a very practical way to learn how to diagnose occlusal disease on your patients.<br /> <br /> We will talk about smile design using the Dento-Facial Esthetic Diagnosis System.<br /> <br /> We will also cover the 3 Golden Rules of Occlusion which are the engineering principles that we need for durability.</div>

Provisional Restoration - The Overlooked Link to Aesthetic and Functional Perfection

LOD-179-00

Dr. Stefan Paul

48 min

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This presentation is about Provisional Restorations.  You may wonder why.  What is so interesting about Provisional Restorations?  But consider a perfect temporary restoration as the foundation of any restorative excellence you might strive for.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We have all experience clinical situations where you do a direct temporary restoration based on a silicon mold that you took before you removed the old crown.  Easy, right?  Nevertheless, coming up with the nice marginal fit necessary to create a healthy biological sulcus epithelium which is the prerequisite for a good, easy impression, and good adhesive cementation requires more consideration.  This presentation will examine this in full detail.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">How about a situation where we use an indirect lab made temporary restoration that is a little more complex, including crown lengthening procedures?  This presentation will discuss not only the temporization, but also additional clinical issues.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This presentation will focus on temporaries for veneer-prepared teeth.  What do we do?  How can we make them stay in place, and not fall off every-so-often?</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will look at implant retained situations, either using multiple implants where we have use of temporary restorations for a longer period of time, maybe making it necessary to use metal-reinforced temporary restorations.  And, when it comes to really demanding clinical situations where the immediate approach means tooth extraction, immediate placement of implants, and immediate temporization followed then by a final restoration.  What aspects should be taken into consideration to achieve the best possible esthetic result?</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">And, finally, various materials and cements to be used in the temporary approach will also be reviewed.</p>
