Case Acceptance - Making it Easy for Patients to Say Yes
LOD-272-00
Dr. Paul Homoly
This 30 minute video presentation by Dr. Paul Homoly will reveal some things that you can bring to your practice immediately to help your patients accept complete care.<br /><br />Dr. Homoly will tackle the term "chief complaint" (a term we dentists use all the time when consulting with our patients). He will explain why this term may not be working for you, and he will show you how you can replace this term with four other "chiefs": "Chief Condition", "Chief Disability", "Chief Benefit", and "Chief Fit Issue". He will explain each of these new terms and demonstrate how they can help your patients say "yes".
Excellence in Dental Aesthetics: New Trends and Materials in Aesthetic Implantology
LOD-212-00
Luc Rutten MDT
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.

Gingiva Colored Ceramics in Esthetic Dentistry
LOD-125-00
Dr. Harel Simon
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.
