Contemporary Approaches to Soft Tissue Behavior Around Dental Implants
LOD-007-02
Dr. Bernard Touati
The ultimate test of every successful dental restoration is the long-lasting health of the surrounding soft tissues, which should be achieved predictably in each and every surgical and restorative implant treatment. This WebLIVE! will depict cutting edge treatment modalities of gingival integration concepts to obtain the optimal conditions, utilizing innovative papilla techniques, atraumatic surgical techniques and titanium, alumina, zirconia materials toward functional and natural-looking restorations.<br><br>The lecture will cover transmucosal biocompatibility of implant, abutment, and restorative materials, submergence/emergence profiles, connections/disconnections of prosthetic parts, scanning or impression of abutments connected during 1st stage surgery, and explore treatment options from diagnostic models through immediate provisionals to the optimal definitive ceramic-based restorations.
Aesthetic Results Using The Scalloped Implant Design
LOD-007-01
Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic
The last few years have seen major advancements in biological understanding of peri-implant soft tissues, bone regenerative results and implant aesthetics. These advances have allowed a very precise 3-dimensional implant position and a predictable restorative result with natural beauty and gingival harmony. Results from 3 clinical centers with the new scalloped implant to maintain inter-implant bone and papilla tissues will be presented. A panel discussion will be moderated between the 3 presenters.
Ridge and Sinus Grafting In Implant Dentistry
LOD-005-00
Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic
This special presentation highlights in 2 consecutive lectures, the clinical and biological criteria to consider in ridge and sinus grafting using autogenous bone, bone filler materials and resorbable and non resorbable membrane configurations. The first part of the presentation highlights the indications and solutions with resorbable membranes and bone graft materials around implant exposures and in sinus treatment. The second part focuses on the possibilities with the vertical ridge augmentation technique using non-resorbable TR-membranes and bone grafts in posterior mandible and maxilla and the anterior maxilla. A question and answer period of 30 minutes with both lecturers concludes the session.
Edentulous Jaw and Different Implant Treatment Options
LOD-002-12
Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic
The options of treating the edentulous jaw will be described in detail. Radiographic and clinical analysis will demonstrate which option can be used by the dental team for implant and prosthetic reconstruction.<br><br><b>Mandible:</b><br>This lecture will discuss the surgical treatment steps of the mandible with 2, 4 and 6 implants and its prosthetic outcome for removable or fixed benefits.<br><br><b>Maxilla:</b><br>This lecture will discuss the surgical treatment steps of the maxilla with 4, 6 and 8 implants and its prosthetic benefits.<br>Medications for surgical treatment and pre-operative planning will be discussed.
The Edentulous Jaw Restoration - An evaluation of different restorative options
LOD-002-11
Dr. George Perri
Edentulous patients desire restoration of their chewing ability and esthetic enhancement. This presentation will provide treatment planning, indications and expectations for different restorative options for the edentulous jaw. Treatment steps will be presented how to successfully choose between a removable and a fixed prosthesis and how to educate the patient. A focus is made on removable overlay challenges and how to manage them.
Immediate tooth replacement and surgical challenges
LOD-002-10
Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic
Tissue preservation is the main focus of this presentation. This lecture will discuss in detail the indication and steps for immediate tooth replacement of a healed and a fresh extraction socket. The needed bone quantity and quality, soft tissue biotype and implant choice and stability will be presented. Flapless surgery has increased in indication due to its simplicity and atraumatic healing capacity, but needs to be executed carefully to ensure implant success.
Immediate Tooth Replacement and Restorative challenges
LOD-002-09
Dr. George Perri
Diagnosing cases and case acceptance for ITR. Immediate temporization concepts and abutment choice. Final restorative design and loading period.
Anterior surgical Implant placement - Multiple Anterior Teeth
LOD-002-08
Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic
This lecture will present the clinical management of soft and hard tissues and how to support the ideal 3-D placed implant. The viewer will learn how to preserve or regenerate peri-implant bone and soft tissue and get a predictable aesthetic implant result.
Anterior Implant Restoration - Advanced Concerns
LOD-002-07
Dr. George Perri
Provisionalization goals and implementation. Managing the non- ideal implant position. Multiple missing teeth in the anterior segment.
