Oral Plastic Surgery

LOD-155-00

Dr. Nelson Carranza

56 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

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.

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

One appointment Inlays/Onlays; Durable, Economical, and Appreciated

LOD-087-00

Dr. Lorin F. Berland

34 min

Patients are demanding aesthetic, yet reliable alternatives to the replacement of their defective amalgam restorations. Learn the rationale for replacing defective amalgam restorations while conserving and reinforcing the remaining tooth structure. Systematic methods will be detailed about amalgam and caries removal, insulation, proper preparation, impression taking, inlay/onlay fabrication, and final cementation techniques.

Composite Resins in Contemporary Practice

LOD-086-00

Dr. Ronald Jackson

87 min

The public today want their dentistry less invasive and more aesthetic. Direct composite resin does both and its use in dentistry is rising rapidly. However, these materials have undergone significant evolution in recent years and dentists are challenged to keep current. In addition, esthetic standards have been raised and quality outcomes redefined by todays educated patient. This presentation will focus on understanding the new composite materials specifically developed for anterior and posterior use and illustrate the key elements for their successful application.
