Restorative Excellence - Occlusion on Implant Retained Restorations
LOD-176-00
Dr. Stefan Paul
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">In this in-depth presentation regarding Occlusion on Implant Retained Restorations, we will examine several cases. We will look at a case that is all to common where right after final delivery, major chipping takes place. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Sometimes we receive an emergency case where perhaps a patient has a bicycle accident. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">What do we do? <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Do we place an implant? <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Do we deliver an immediately fixed temporary restoration? <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">And what occlusion are we going to give in order not to interfere and cause loosening of the implant and losing osseointegration? <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">What about an even more demanding clinical situation, such as a missing canine where the plan is to place an implant and deliver an immediate temporary restoration? <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">What occlusal concept are we going to utilize to prevent interference with good bone healing? To make it even more demanding we will look at a case where there is an interior gap, canine to canine, where, again implant placement is the plan. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> How are we going to design our occlusal schematic so that the patient is not going to clench on these teeth at night, and possibly punch out our implants? <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">And, finally, we will examine a very challenging case where we have a maxillary and mandibular full-arch restoration, and incorporate an occlusal concept of a mixed dentition with implants on natural teeth (vs implants on implants).</p>

Aesthetic Treatment Planning - The Smile Design
LOD-174-00
Dr. Saiesha Mistry
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Comprehensive treatment planning is essential for the satisfactory outcome of any case. Contemporary treatments are not considered successful unless the final outcome is not only functional but also aesthetic. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">As a result an Aesthetic Analysis has become integral to every treatment plan.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will lay down a systematic approach for an aesthetic examination and the subsequent analysis of the collated information so as to predictably design and execute the most aesthetic treatments for our patients. </p>
LOD-172-00
Dr. Istvan Urban
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Over the last 10 years Dr. Urban has been able to phase out autogenous bone grafts from his clinical practice.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">In this presentation he will demonstrate the steps he has taken to achieve this. He will discuss the kind of bone regeneration that was first used; how this has developed over the years; and what is possible today. He will discuss the small defects such as fenestration and dehiscences; what kind of bone graft to apply; how to apply it; what kind of membrane to choose; and how to stabilize the membrane. All Followed by a review of the results.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">For horizontal ridge augmentation, he will show how to achieve success utilizing the sausage technique, which was developed by him. He will demonstrate how it is less invasive, simplified, and (as documented in the literature) less morbidity. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">He will discuss how the sausage technique was developed; what are the steps for implementation; what are the principles behind it; and what kind of results you can expect when properly applied.</p>

The 7 essential keys to success in Aesthetic Implant Restorations
LOD-167-00
Dr. Christopher Ho
<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>

Comparison and Contrast of Direct vs. Indirect Anterior Restorations in Natural Teeth
LOD-159-00
Dr. Stratis Papazoglou
<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>
LOD-158-00
Dr. Sam Strong
<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>
