Dr. Siamak Abai
Digital advancements in areas such as intraoral scanning, 3-D printing, and CAD/CAM technology are creating efficiencies while expanding the treatment options available to dentists. These tools allow for streamlined treatment and laboratory protocols that can be modified to meet the individual needs of each patient. In this presentation, Dr. Siamak Abai outlines cases where digital intraoral scans are utilized in conjunction with Cone Beam Computed Tomography scans and CAD/CAM software to fabricate guided surgical guides, custom final abutments, and final restorations prior to implant surgery. A model-less workflow is initiated with intraoral scanning, facilitating delivery of final restorations at the time of implant placement. Topics include:<br /><br /> - Impression making considerations for partially edentulous patient<br /> - Treatment planning and utilization of CAD/CAM software for the fabrication of guided surgical guides<br /> - The benefits and applications of intraoral scanning in the partially edentulous patient<br /> - Clinical and laboratory workflows facilitated by digital impressions<br /> - Traditional and digital techniques involved in the fabrication of final abutments and restorations<br /> - Application of CAD/CAM technology in the design and production of restorations<br /> - Prosthesis fabrication from models produced with 3-D printing technology
Lasers in Contemporary Implant Dentistry - Part 2
LOD-238-00
Dr. Glenn van As
Part 2 of 2: Lasers in Contemporary Implant Dentistry by Dr. Glenn van As<br /><br />Part 1 (LOD 237-00) of this two part series will look at four things that can happen with laser tissue interactions: Scatter, Transmission (or Refraction), Absorption, and Reflection. This will help us understand the physics and science of lasers. We will look at the several different wavelengths available for implant dentistry, and which one might be appropriate for your practice. This lecture will present a protocol that will help you determine where lasers can fit in to implant dentistry. And, finally, we will discuss how lasers can impact before you place your implant, and during the placement of your implant.<br /><br />Part 2 (LOD 238-00) of this two part series will discuss the role of lasers after the implant has been placed. We will demonstrate how it can be used to improve healing. It can be used during uncovery. It can be used in periimplant tissue removal, and even in the exciting world of periimplantitis. Clinical cases will be presented showing hard-tissue lasers being used for decortication as an alternative to traditional means. We will focus on why an electrosurge may be damaging to your implants, and may cause you more problems than benefits, and why a diode-laser may be your treatment of choice. This lecture will conclude with what may be the future of lasers, and how Erbium lasers might be able to be used in periimplantitis to not only remove biofilms and surfaces like TiUnite, but to actively allow for reosseointegration to occur.
