Functional Crown Lengthening for More Predictable Restorative

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 />

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

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

Seeking Interdisciplinary Excellence

LOD-113-02

Dr. Frank Celenza

47 min

The integration of Periodontics with Orthodontics might seem perplexing at first. Whereas the specialty of Orthodontics has historically been associated with a younger patient population, that of Periodontics is probably associated with an older patient type. Why then, would one choose to practice the two together? Are there interactions that we, as clinicians can harness for our patients? <br> This presentation will outline and delineate what many of these combined treatment modalities are, and how they fit into interdisciplinary treatment planning. In many of these examples, the prosthetic and esthetic benefits will be illustrated. Further, the development and evolution of these combined specialties through the eyes and experiences of the presenter will be explored, with a perspective towards future developments that are of interest.

Implant Interactions in Orthodontics

LOD-113-01

Dr. Frank Celenza

47 min

Whereas the advent of successful and predictable implant dentistry has had a pronounced impact on the practice of restorative dentistry, the same might not be said for the effect implants have had upon the specialty of Orthodontics. However, this presenter feels strongly that a new era of Orthodontic involvement with implants is upon us, and will illustrate the fascinating ability of implants to facilitate tooth movement.<br> The development of implants as useful entities to an Orthodontist, both in the techniques of

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
