Functional Crown Lengthening for More Predictable Restorative

LOD-020-01

Dr. James Kohner

59 min

This program provides a maximum experience covering the various principles and clinical procedures needed to perform crown lengthening in all its variations. We cover indications, contraindications, and methods of managing surrounding bone. Topics include: how to handle hard and soft tissues; proper surgical techniques; preservation of esthetics in the final tissue contours; and relocation of all structures that comprise the biologic width, namely: sulcus, junctional epithelium, connective tissue fibers, and bone. The program illustrates step by step methods for managing bone and soft tissue to allow for predictable impressions, and the avoiding of common restorative complications. Some typical complications include sore gums following crowns, sensitive teeth, plus crowns falling off or developing caries prematurely. 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, and is often under utilized.

Biological Data for Bone Integration

LOD-018-00

Dr. Peter Schupbach

90 min

The scientific evidence on the biomaterial surface TiUniteTM will be given and compared to other implant surfaces. Several studies confirm and support the clinical benefits of the remarkable osseoconductive properties of TiUniteTM, allowing bone to grow along the implant surface and into the pores of the surface. This results in faster osseointegration and higher biological stability, thus minimizing time at risk for effective and safe Immediate FunctionTM. The clinical implications of TiUnite as Immdiate FunctionTM, reduced marginal bone loss, soft tissue integration and predictable esthetics will be discussed. In addition the scientific evidence of micro grooves along the threads and around the implant shoulder will be given. The introduction of the Groovy technology provides yet another step in implant development. With this technology, the speed of osseointegration can be further increased. The biological stability is enhanced by up to 30% allowing the use of groovy implants in soft bone.

Are Single Tooth Implants Right for Your Practice?

LOD-017-02

Dr. Jack Hahn

90 min

The participants in this program will see how simple and predictable single implant placements can be. Dr. Jack Hahn has over thirty years of experience in Implant Dentistry and has taught general dentists world-wide. Doctors who have taken Dr. Hahn�?�¢�??�??s course are placing their own safe, simple predictable implants.

Edentulous Jaw and Different Implant Treatment Options

LOD-002-12

Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic

103 min

The options of treating the edentulous jaw will be described in detail. Radiographic and clinical analysis will demonstrate which option can be used by the dental team for implant and prosthetic reconstruction.<br><br><b>Mandible:</b><br>This lecture will discuss the surgical treatment steps of the mandible with 2, 4 and 6 implants and its prosthetic outcome for removable or fixed benefits.<br><br><b>Maxilla:</b><br>This lecture will discuss the surgical treatment steps of the maxilla with 4, 6 and 8 implants and its prosthetic benefits.<br>Medications for surgical treatment and pre-operative planning will be discussed.

The Edentulous Jaw Restoration - An evaluation of different restorative options

LOD-002-11

Dr. George Perri

62 min

Edentulous patients desire restoration of their chewing ability and esthetic enhancement. This presentation will provide treatment planning, indications and expectations for different restorative options for the edentulous jaw. Treatment steps will be presented how to successfully choose between a removable and a fixed prosthesis and how to educate the patient. A focus is made on removable overlay challenges and how to manage them.

Immediate tooth replacement and surgical challenges

LOD-002-10

Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic

75 min

Tissue preservation is the main focus of this presentation. This lecture will discuss in detail the indication and steps for immediate tooth replacement of a healed and a fresh extraction socket. The needed bone quantity and quality, soft tissue biotype and implant choice and stability will be presented. Flapless surgery has increased in indication due to its simplicity and atraumatic healing capacity, but needs to be executed carefully to ensure implant success.

Immediate Tooth Replacement and Restorative challenges

LOD-002-09

Dr. George Perri

46 min

Diagnosing cases and case acceptance for ITR. Immediate temporization concepts and abutment choice. Final restorative design and loading period.

Anterior surgical Implant placement - Multiple Anterior Teeth

LOD-002-08

Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic

50 min

This lecture will present the clinical management of soft and hard tissues and how to support the ideal 3-D placed implant. The viewer will learn how to preserve or regenerate peri-implant bone and soft tissue and get a predictable aesthetic implant result.

Anterior Implant Restoration - Advanced Concerns

LOD-002-07

Dr. George Perri

60 min

Provisionalization goals and implementation. Managing the non- ideal implant position. Multiple missing teeth in the anterior segment.
