NobelActive - Predictable Function and Aesthetics
LOD-219-00
Dr. Ophir Fromovich
This introductory lecture will take you on a journey to see how the NobelActive can help you through various cases ranging from simple to complex.First you will learn about the design, biologic, and feature of the NobelActive implant. We will show you how to utilize NobelActive in cases where there is a severe defect in the molar area after extraction where there is only 1mm, and what you can do in cases where you want to preserve the papilla between two implants.You will be shown the benefits of being able to change direction when placing NobelActive, and when it is best to do this. We will present hard cases: one involving severe atrophy in the mazilla, and another involving two missing congenital laterals in a limited spacing where a 3mm is utilized.You will learn how to best utilize NobelActive in All-on-4 and All-on-6 cases with fixation. We will also present a case where there is a failed implant and how we successfully replace it with immediate loading of a NobelActive.
Implantoplasty: A Patient's Journey
LOD-217-00
Dr. Egon Euwe
This lecture follows a patient's journey to a procedure called implantoplasty. We will take you back in time to the year 2001, back when we treated our patient with an implant supported restoration. It's a fixed bridge, porcelain fused to metal, as these were typically treated 15-20 years ago. It was a passive fit, glued onto single abutments placed on five implants. The patient was wearing a traditional upper-denture with acrylic teeth and a lower fixed bridge with porcelain fused to metal. This caused excessive wear. Now there are better options which will be explained in this lecture. We can improve esthetics of the denture, and we can work with more modern and stronger materials in order to avoid the problem we faced years ago. The patient had also developed peri-implantitis at the site of one of her implants. This, of course, can be quite common. This lecture includes a clinical video that will show the surgical steps that were taken to treat this. The clinical video also includes a free gingival graft that was a part of the procedure. By the end, a stable result is achieved and maintained which will be shown in our patient's follow-up.
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.
New Advances in the Treatment of the Esthetic Zone - The Esthetic Preview
LOD-210-00
Dr. Mario Imburgia
Using aesthetic preview and smile designing techniques in prosthetic and implant dentistry offer the clinician a great tool for different purposes:<BR><ul><li>Designing the patient's smile</li><li>Sharing the digital mock-up with the dental team</li><li>Improving communication with the patient</li></ul>This new approach allows the clinician to increase the predictability of the esthetic result of prosthetic restorations in the aesthetic zone, to optimize the clinical performance of the entire dental team and amazingly improve the communication with the patient.<BR><BR>This lecture will focus on smile design techniques starting from the ground up to new perspectives, applying these techniques to
