Treating the Edentulous Arch with Removable Implant Overdentures Impression Technique
LOD-152-00
Dr. Sam Strong
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will explain the process of procuring an accurate implant-level impression so that we can successfully deliver an attachment retained overdenture. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will illustrate the site selection for the various implants, and the types of implants we prefer for an implant overdenture. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">It will illustrate how to go about the preparatory procedures for the implant level impression, such as insertion of the impression copings and the correct radiographic interpretation of their complete seating into the implants. We will illustrate, in detail, the step-by-step procedures to procure an accurate implant-level impression using Polyvinyl siloxane or polyether materials that will give us a very stable impression that can be poured at a later date. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will also show how these impressions are very precise. How the clinician can easily incorporate this into one

Dr. Tidu Mankoo
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will present key concepts on how to achieve success and predictability in soft tissue outcomes. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">It will focus on biologic factors and the processes involved in what goes on around our implant restorations, and how we as practitioners can use this understanding of biology to compensate for the processes that occur around our restorations to achieve optimum, stable, enduring outcomes.</p>
Complications & Management in Advanced Bone Augmentation Procedures
LOD-149-00
Dr. Zvi Artzi
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Ridge augmentation is routinely used in our practice as an essential element for optimal implant placement. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">A variety of techniques can be used to obtain this procedure. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We can use the vertical GBR technique. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The lateral GBR technique, using cortical-cancellous block graft or the tissue split-expansion ridge technique. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">However, complications might arise, and that is according to the technique that we apply, according to the anatomy, and according to the mode of treatment that we use. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Solutions to overcome these complications will be addressed in this presentation, so that you can obtain satisfactory results.</p>
Esthetic Fine Tuning in Complex Implant Cases
LOD-148-00
Dr. Egon Euwe
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will underline the importance of diagnostics. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">And based on the literature you will learn how best to place the implant and how to build up the soft tissue. Example cases involving a single tooth replacement, a partially edentulous patient, and a fully edentulous patient will be used. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This presentation will also discuss the importance of provisionals: how to shape the tissue and how to transfer the final configuration to the lab technician where the final restoration will be made with metal-free CAD/CAM technology.</p>
Esthetic Implant Failures - Etiologies and Solutions
LOD-146-00
Dr. Bobby Butler
This lecture will focus on how to correct Esthetic Implant Complications by utilizing soft tissue augmentation procedures. Implant dentistry has brought our patients many benefits. However we do encounter complications, especially in the esthetic zone when implants are misplaced, or not properly planned. While some complications can be corrected, some cannot be if there is too much bone loss. Cases of each will be discussed.
Minimally Invasive Implant Surgery - Revolutionize Your Treatment Approach
LOD-145-00
Dr. Roland Glauser
This lecture will present the current thinking and techniques in implant treatment. How can we approach implant treatment with modern technology in a better way to increase patient acceptance and also to protect and maintain better tissue contours as compared to standard conventional protocols. The viewer will obtain information from this lecture that will bring a new perspective to how you approach implant treatment in your own practice.<br>
NobelActive - Predictable Function and Esthetics
LOD-144-00
Dr. Ophir Fromovich
What is the difference between a normal tooth and an implant? What is the critical size? Why do implants avoid resorption, and give us more esthetic? How is it possible to do an extraction, place an implant, bone augmentation all in the same day, and have a beautiful esthetic. And, for a full year no resorption? Various special implant types will also be discussed.
Extraction Site Management for Alveolar Ridge Preservation
LOD-143-00
Prof. Eric Rompen
This lecture will focus on how to manage the extraction socket in the esthetic zone. What do we do not to lose too much volume? Management for both immediate and delayed implant placement will be discussed.<br> <br> <span class='style2'>REVIEWS/FEEDBACK:</span><br> <font color='#000000' face='verdana' size='2'><font color='#0099ff'>'An innovative approach!

Advanced Implant Treatment Planning - A Systematic Approach
LOD-142-00
Dr. Alexandre-Amir Aalam
Dental and periodontal loss of structures is associated with multiple challenges in proper implant treatment planning. Temporization and site development procedures are a major difficulty for such patients. A detailed evaluation and comprehensive treatment plan should always precede any irreversible act such as an extraction. Interplay between the specialties is the hallmark of success in any multidisciplinary treatment plan. This presentation illustrates how to maximize patient comfort and satisfaction while progressing through complex dental treatments.<br> <br> <span class='style2'>REVIEWS/FEEDBACK:</span><br> <font color='#000000' face='verdana' size='2'><font color='#0099ff'>'There is a class of patient cases that present some bewilderment, namely large, advanced cases. This new lecture in the gIDE lecture library, 'Advanced Implant Treatment Planning: A Systematic Approach' with Dr. Alexandre Aalam & Dr. Mamaly Reshad, presents a well thought out introduction to advanced treatment planning. With their multi-disciplinary, four pillared approach of 'Posterior Support', 'Site Development', Space Management' & 'Esthetics' they make sense of what otherwise can seem mysterious.'</font><br> <font color='#ff6600'>- Dr. David E.
