The 7 essential keys to success in Aesthetic Implant Restorations

LOD-167-00

Dr. Christopher Ho

67 min

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will discuss the 7 essential keys to success in Aesthetic Implant Restorations:</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">1) Implant position, including bucco-lingual, apico-coronal and mesio-distal.  </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">2) Abutment design, including shape and form, how we want our implants to be more negative, especially in the mid-labial to maximize tissue thickness.  </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">3) Provisionalisation: how to develop provisionals using different types from cement-on to screw-retained, and how we modify that for our soft tissue aesthetics while using a restoratively based technique.  </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">4) Impression technique: how do we transfer the information from our provisional crown to our final impression. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">5) abutment selection: we will discuss different abutment materials from gold, to titanium, to zirconia, and how do we determine which to use based on biocompatibility, aesthetics, cost, and strength. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">6) Ceramics: the materials we choose to go on top of our implants and natural teeth, and how we decide which one to use for which case.  </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">7) implant papilla: how do we get good soft tissue aesthetics both for single teeth and cases where there are adjacent implants.</p>

Fundamentals of Evidence Based Dentistry - Comparative Efficacy & Effectiveness Research & Analysis for Practice

LOD-164-00

Dr. Francesco Chiappelli

70 min

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This course will introduce the audience to evidence-based dentistry, and contrast it to "dentistry based on the evidence".  <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Specifically, it will describe and discuss the fundamental elements and approaches in comparative effectiveness and comparative efficacy research and analysis for practice in dentistry.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The course will provide practical examples of where to find the best available evidence, how to read and interpret the best available evidence, and how to incorporate the best available evidence into clinical decision-making. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">By discussing real cases and situations, the course intends to enhance the audience

LOD-161-00

Dr. James Kohner

67 min

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This course provides a complete overview covering the various principles and clinical procedures needed for crown lengthening. We cover indications, contraindications, and methods of managing surrounding bone. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Topics include: how to handle hard and soft tissues; proper surgical techniques; and relocation of all structures that comprise the biologic width, namely: sulcus, junctional epithelium, connective tissue fibers, and bone. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Dentists who want to do some or most of their own crown extensions, or those who just want to know more about the subject, will be helped by this course.  Crown extension is one of the most commonly required procedures in restorative dentistry, yet is often underutilized.</p><br />

Comparison and Contrast of Direct vs. Indirect Anterior Restorations in Natural Teeth

LOD-159-00

Dr. Stratis Papazoglou

59 min

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture involves the selection of appropriate treatment procedures for anterior aesthetic restorations. First we will review the anatomy of the tooth structure, not because we are going to actually mimic the natural tooth histology, but because we need to know the esthetic target. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Our actual goal will be to create the illusion of the natural tooth using composite resin or ceramic materials with different translucency properties. This lecture will underline the importance of proper diagnosis, in formulation of the treatment plan based on patient age, patient preferences, economic limitations, sound scientific principles, and treatment philosophy of the operator. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Example cases involve closing diastemas with direct procedures, restoration of fractured anterior teeth, restoration of discolored teeth, re-restoration of previously restored teeth, teeth with wear and erosion, teeth with size, shape, and position problems.</p>

Treating the Edentulous Arch with Removable Implant Overdentures - Denture Conversion to Locator Overdenture

LOD-158-00

Dr. Sam Strong

27 min

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will explore a  mechanism for converting an existing conventional denture to an implant retained overdenture and also how to use implants with removable partial dentures.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will look at trimming out the existing conventional denture and picking up locator attachments so that they are incorporated into the original denture base, giving the patient a spare overdenture.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will also look at the use of small numbers of implants.  For example: one on a lower arch case to retain a partial denture simply by one implant in which this case supposes an overdenture.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">And, finally we will look at an additional case: a bi-lateral extension case retained solely by two locater attachments.</p>

Treating the Edentulous Arch with Removable Implant Overdentures - Procera CAD/CAM Technology with Bar Overdentures and Fixed Implant Restorations

LOD-157-00

Dr. Sam Strong

51 min

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture focuses on CAD/CAM Technology and the production of Titanium  bar overdentures as well as Zirconia frameworks for fixed implant restorations.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">It will illustrate the use of the acrylic verification stent and why it"s important in CAD/CAM technology. It will illustrate the exciting new technology that is available from the Procera form of software and milling capability to produce titanium bars and zirconia frameworks.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">It will show the beautiful titanium bar and why it is a step up in technology, why it is an improvement over our former cast alloy technology to produce effective, successful, long-lasting overdenture therapy.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">And then, finally, it will illustrate the use of some new framework design for zirconia, that will allow us to produce strong and very aesthetic, screw retained implant fixed restorations. </p>

Treating the Edentulous Arch with Removable Implant Overdentures Jaw Relation Records

LOD-154-00

Dr. Sam Strong

54 min

<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>

Conservative Rehabilitation of Abrasion & Erosion Cases

LOD-147-00

Dr. Didier Dietschi

58 min

This Lecture will review the use of direct and indirect adhesive techniques to solve complex cases involving abrasion and erosion. It will focus specifically on the use of composites. Timely use of composites is crucial, and waiting until the problem becomes too severe will often cause crown and other extensive preparations to be necessary.
