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>

Cirugia Plastica Oral (SPANISH LANGUAGE ONLY)

LOD-156-00

Dr. Nelson Carranza

72 min

<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

Oral Plastic Surgery

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.

The Art and Science of Surgical Crown Lengthening

LOD-137-00

Dr. Barry Wagenberg

46 min

Surgical Crown Lengthening is one of the most misunderstood and difficult procedures to perform. It's time consuming, it's technically and psychologically difficult, and requires the therapist to remove a substantial amount of tooth structure and bone around adjacent roots. The procedure that is demonstrated in this lecture will feature a technique in which you can preserve the coronal bone, and determine whether the crown lengthening procedure is feasible, or will it endanger the adjacent root structures, or will it create a set of defects prior to removing any adjacent bone.

Prosthetic Cantilevers - Friend or Foe?

LOD-126-00

Gingiva Colored Ceramics in Esthetic Dentistry

LOD-125-00

Dr. Harel Simon

61 min

Healthy appearance of the supporting tissue and its architecture are key components for achieving an esthetic dental restoration. It is therefore essential that the gingival tissue surrounding a restoration would be similar to that of the healthy adjacent teeth to create the illusion of natural dentition. Since the majority of patients tend to display a portion of their gingivae in a normal smile, lack of adequate gingival architecture and proper edentulous ridge contour in the horizontal and vertical dimensions may result in compromised esthetics and will, therefore, require further intervention.<br>The use of gingiva-colored ceramics has been suggested to address the esthetic needs in such patients. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the importance of proper gingival architecture and demonstrate the use of gingiva-colored ceramics in esthetic implant dentistry.

Technology & Artistry

LOD-120-00

Michel Magne MDT

70 min

The knowledge about natural oral esthetics and the interactive relationship between patient-clinician-technician constitute the basic strategies for successful esthetic rehabilitations. No matter how powerful technology becomes in today

Anterior Implant Positioning for Ideal Abutment Design, Biology and Function & Abutment Materials and Design, Part II

LOD-111-02

Dr. Edward A. McLaren

69 min

This lecture focuses on materials, and combination cases: how to deal with a veneer and a crown, whether the crown is on a natural tooth or an implant. But first, an introduction on digital dental photography: what camera to use for what situation, and tips and tricks for optimal results.

Soft Tissue Stability Around Implants in the Esthetic Zone - Can it Always be Predictable? (GREEK LANGUAGE ONLY)

LOD-109-00

Dr. George Goumenos

50 min

Today success in periodontology includes not only achievement of esthetics, but also it
