<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Our patients are requesting almost perfect esthetic results. Restorative dentistry is responding with new materials and techniques that allow wonderful tooth mimicking. In many cases, especially in implant dentistry, the challenge still present today relies on soft tissue management. Periodontal surgery is evolving to meet these challenges into a new concept termed

Treating the Edentulous Arch with Removable Implant Overdentures Jaw Relation Records
LOD-154-00
Dr. Sam Strong
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This presentation is the second of 4 modules related to treating the fully edentulous patient with removable overdentures. It will focus on the use of a jaw relation recording device (or tracing device) which will give the clinician new accuracy in procurring centric relation. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The patient will generate a gothic arch tracing for us that will enhance our ability to be more accurate in our occlusal relationships. We will also illustrate the use of locator attachments: how they are chosen, and how their retentive capabilities are utilized. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will also show the use of strengthening metal frameworks for our denture bases, and how they add to the longevity of the denture base, and how it also allows us to produce a paletteless design in the maxillary overdenture. And, finally, we will illustrate the use of the pickup procedure intraorally, allowing us to pickup the locator attachment with a new material. Instead of using the older Methyl Methacrylates, it utilizes a lighter material that is cleaner, quicker, and more efficient. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This module will dovetale in from the previous module of the series to demonstrate how we can successfully provide implant overdentures for our patient clientele.</p>
The Emergency Implant - Immediate Extraction Replacement
LOD-153-00
Dr. Jack Hahn
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Immediate extraction replacement (also called the emergency implant) is an option applied when patients present themselves with an unrestorable tooth, especially in the esthetic zone where they want something that will allow them to engage in social situations without a missing tooth. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">When presented properly, this option is one that patients most like. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">What this presentation will discuss are the principles for predictability to achieve long-term predictable repeated results: the extraction techniques; grafting sites; proper placements of the implants; provisionalization; and final restoration.</p>
Treating the Edentulous Arch with Removable Implant Overdentures Impression Technique
LOD-152-00
Dr. Sam Strong
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will explain the process of procuring an accurate implant-level impression so that we can successfully deliver an attachment retained overdenture. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will illustrate the site selection for the various implants, and the types of implants we prefer for an implant overdenture. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">It will illustrate how to go about the preparatory procedures for the implant level impression, such as insertion of the impression copings and the correct radiographic interpretation of their complete seating into the implants. We will illustrate, in detail, the step-by-step procedures to procure an accurate implant-level impression using Polyvinyl siloxane or polyether materials that will give us a very stable impression that can be poured at a later date. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will also show how these impressions are very precise. How the clinician can easily incorporate this into one
LOD-150-00
Dr. Tidu Mankoo
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will present key concepts on how to achieve success and predictability in soft tissue outcomes. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">It will focus on biologic factors and the processes involved in what goes on around our implant restorations, and how we as practitioners can use this understanding of biology to compensate for the processes that occur around our restorations to achieve optimum, stable, enduring outcomes.</p>
Complications & Management in Advanced Bone Augmentation Procedures
LOD-149-00
Dr. Zvi Artzi
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Ridge augmentation is routinely used in our practice as an essential element for optimal implant placement. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">A variety of techniques can be used to obtain this procedure. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We can use the vertical GBR technique. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The lateral GBR technique, using cortical-cancellous block graft or the tissue split-expansion ridge technique. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">However, complications might arise, and that is according to the technique that we apply, according to the anatomy, and according to the mode of treatment that we use. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Solutions to overcome these complications will be addressed in this presentation, so that you can obtain satisfactory results.</p>
Esthetic Fine Tuning in Complex Implant Cases
LOD-148-00
Dr. Egon Euwe
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will underline the importance of diagnostics. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">And based on the literature you will learn how best to place the implant and how to build up the soft tissue. Example cases involving a single tooth replacement, a partially edentulous patient, and a fully edentulous patient will be used. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This presentation will also discuss the importance of provisionals: how to shape the tissue and how to transfer the final configuration to the lab technician where the final restoration will be made with metal-free CAD/CAM technology.</p>
Esthetic Implant Failures - Etiologies and Solutions
LOD-146-00
Dr. Bobby Butler
This lecture will focus on how to correct Esthetic Implant Complications by utilizing soft tissue augmentation procedures. Implant dentistry has brought our patients many benefits. However we do encounter complications, especially in the esthetic zone when implants are misplaced, or not properly planned. While some complications can be corrected, some cannot be if there is too much bone loss. Cases of each will be discussed.
Minimally Invasive Implant Surgery - Revolutionize Your Treatment Approach
LOD-145-00
Dr. Roland Glauser
This lecture will present the current thinking and techniques in implant treatment. How can we approach implant treatment with modern technology in a better way to increase patient acceptance and also to protect and maintain better tissue contours as compared to standard conventional protocols. The viewer will obtain information from this lecture that will bring a new perspective to how you approach implant treatment in your own practice.<br>
