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.
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.
Veneer Restorations - Essential Steps for Esthetic Success
LOD-124-00
Laminate Ceramic Veneers are widely accepted as the treatment of choice for long term esthetic anterior restorations. Among many advantages, when compared with conventional crown preparation, this modality of treatment allows the clinician to obtain an outstanding result in terms of esthetic, as well as a conservative preparation, saving a great amount of tooth structure if correct planning is applied. Temporary restorations will be described carefully to help the dentist and the patient have a preview of the final treatment. Clinical success also depends on bonding procedures. Each detail of the most recommended technique for luting a ceramic veneer will be presented. The correct treatment planning is based on photography documentation, comunication with the laboratory and clinical steps. All of which will be discussed in this presentation.

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
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
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

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.

Dr. Edward A. McLaren
This lecture explores implant placement relative to esthetics, specifically the recommended thought process for the implantologist when determining implant position to achieve a proper abutment design for esthetics. Materials for abutments will also be discussed and what cements to use for the anterior part of the region, with a focus on all-in-one cements.
