Paradigm Shift: Soft Tissue Concept
LOD-245-00
Dr. Iñaki Gamborena
In this lecture presentation Dr Gamborena will discuss the Soft Tissue Concept and what it is about. We can face a lot of problems when we get to the surgical part. We can find ourselves with prosthetics and healing abutments that are way too big. Dr Gamborena will share information about a healing abutment that he has been working with for the last 6-8 years, and that has finally entered the market as of fall 2014. He will show how the abutment works and how you can improve the maximization of your space and be able to graft at the ridge with a totally different approach: Following the concept about what we do Today around implants, compensating the volume from bone, shifting into the soft tissue and being able to create prosthetically something beyond what you might be used to so far.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 9/2/2014 | Expires: 9/2/2017</span>
The Esthetic Connection: Smile Design Communication
LOD-244-00
Dr. Galip Gurel
When we discuss smile design Today, one important aspect that must be considered when planning treatment is smile design management.<br><br>Our complex cases involve many variables: auxillary dentists and technicians, a vast range of materials and resources, patient expectations, etc. Achieving optimal outcomes in these cases requires precise treatment planning and execution. In this presentation Dr. Galip Gurel will not only share his clinical insights for approaching smile design. He will also share the management steps he uses for bringing everyone and everything involved in the case together so that we can expect a successful treatment.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 7/15/2014 | Expires: 7/15/2017</span>
Full Mouth Rehabilitation (Part 1 of 2) - A Systematic Approach
LOD-243-00
Dr. Francesco Mintrone
This lecture will be focused on the esthetics analysis that should be done every time when approaching an esthetic and functional rehabilitation. <br><br>Starting from the facial analysis and continuing with the dento-labial analysis, phonetic analysis, dental analysis and then finishing with some concepts of occlusion, we will try to provide a guideline to the full oral rehabilitation.<br><br>This presentation will examine, with a step by step approach, the rehabilitation of a case of dental erosion in which all operative stages are guided from the initial esthetic analysis and subsequent previsualization of the final tooth profile before starting any active therapy.<br><br>We will evaluate 3 cases of full mouth rehabilitation where the use of dental implants will become more consistent. In the last case we will focus on the planning phase as a result of aesthetic analysis in the way to place the implants in their perfect tridimensional position to support the esthetic rehabilitation.<br><br>Finally, we will evaluate a novel approach for implant screw-retained restorations in which we will use an adhesive combination of zirconia framework and lithium disilicate.<br><br><a href="http://gidedental.com/product?pid=917">click here</a> for more info on Part 2.<br> <br /> <strong>Learning Objectives:</strong><br /> - Learn how to make an Esthetic analysis to guide the decision process of the esthetic rehabilitation<br /> <br /> - Learn how to proceed to create a correct treatment planning in the full mouth rehabilitation<br /> <br /> - Learn key concepts of digital smile design<br /> <br /> - Learn how to plan the implant’s tridimensional position consequential to the esthetic result we want to obtain <br /> <br /> - Learn how to use the prosthetic esthetic material in a way to decrease the number of complications<br />
Integrated Rehabilitation Using Adjacent Implants in the Esthetic Region
LOD-242-00
Dr. Robert Carvalho da Silva
This clinical case presentation depicts a comprehensive resolution of a complex clinical condition in which periodontic, prosthesis, and implant concepts are utilized. In this scenario, both upper central incisors are extracted and replaced with immediate implants followed by immediate temporization using the patient
LOD-239-00
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
