Predictable Soft Tissue Grafting for Esthetics in Thin Periodontium
LOD-191-00
Dr. Paul Lin
This presentation will discuss the thin periodontium and how to utilize this to achieve predictable soft tissue grafting for esthetics.<br /><br />Soft tissue grafting by root coverage and augmentation can improve the facial esthetics not just for natural teeth, but also for implants.<br /><br />By utilizing the same concept of placing the soft tissue on the thin periodontium we can help augment the tissue around implants and dentures and improve and enhance the facial esthetics.<br /><br />Animations will illustrate this concept and provide insight as to how we take the soft tissue away from the pallate and harvest it in an elegant, more predictable fashion.<br /><br />This will also show how to secure the covering flap so the patient will not experience any pain after the surgery.<br /><br />This presentation is intended to increase your understanding, comfort and confidence in performing soft tissue grafting in a more predictable way.

Complete Zirconia Restorations - Implant Supported
LOD-189-00
Dr. Fernando Rojas-Vizcaya
The most frequently encountered problem with fixed detachable dental prostheses is loosening or fracture of the prosthetic screws. Other problems include wear, separation or fracture of the resin teeth from the metal/acrylic prosthesis, chipping or fracture of porcelain from the metal/ceramic or zirconia/ceramic prosthesis, and fracture of the framework in some free-end prostheses.<BR><BR>For this type of prosthesis it is necessary to place the implants in a position that enables occlusal or lingual access so as not to impair the esthetics. When we make our restoration out of 100% zirconia we avoid the chipping. This lecture will discuss monolithic zirconia for fixed detachable restorations.<BR><BR>It's a new concept working with this type of material, and doing this type of restoration. But esthetic outcomes and promising clinical results will be presented. Beautiful cases will be displayed where complete ziconia is used to restore the pink and white esthetic of our patients when esthetics is a very important concern.<BR><BR>You will see:<BR>how to work in your office with this type of restoration;<BR>how you need to evaluate;<BR>how you need to work with the prosthesis that you receive from your dental technician;<BR>how you need to check the mouth of the patient, and how from the block of zirconia you can make your monolithic zirconia restoration.<BR><BR>You will learn, step-by-step: how to achieve the color in the prosthesis; how the dental technician can create a beautiful pink and white esthetic. All the occlusal surfaces, the incisal edge, the full prosthesis is all made from a block of zirconia. And, all without chipping.

A New Common Sense Approach to Full Mouth Rehabilitation Using Direct Composite and Limited Implants
LOD-185-00
Dr. Jose Luis Ruiz
<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
<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>
