The Role of Cements in Dental Implant Restorations
LOD-284-00
Dr. Chandur Wadhwani
English
Restoring dental implants can be extremely challenging. It is imperative to understand available options related to crown retention, confirmation of fit of components and maintenance of implant restorations over time. The AAP, AAO, and the AARD have all stated that excess cement often leads to peri-implant disease and is considered a major risk factor for implant longevity. While many techniques and products have been developed specifically for cement-retained implant restorations, some are potentially detrimental to implants. Dentists are not always fully aware of the issues and implications of using inappropriate materials or methods.<br /> <br /> This presentation will explore the problems and challenges encountered by the restorative dentist, and to formulate clinical guidelines based on current research.<br /> <br /> <strong>Learning Objectives:</strong><br /> Understand the science behind the best practice of implant restoration.<br /> Understand what we need from implant cements, and how formulate a hierarchy of cement selection.<br /> How to best to detect excess cement and prevent failures.<br /> How to develop an all-encompassing cementation protocol for implant restorations.<br /> How to decide upon cemented versus screw-retained prostheses in various clinical situations.<br /> How to assess truly healthy peri-implant soft tissues.<br />

The Influence of Modern Clinical Strategies on the Integration and Reliability of the Prosthetic Outcome
Case Acceptance - Making it Easy for Patients to Say Yes
LOD-272-00
Dr. Paul Homoly
This 30 minute video presentation by Dr. Paul Homoly will reveal some things that you can bring to your practice immediately to help your patients accept complete care.<br /><br />Dr. Homoly will tackle the term "chief complaint" (a term we dentists use all the time when consulting with our patients). He will explain why this term may not be working for you, and he will show you how you can replace this term with four other "chiefs": "Chief Condition", "Chief Disability", "Chief Benefit", and "Chief Fit Issue". He will explain each of these new terms and demonstrate how they can help your patients say "yes".
Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures (Part 4 of 4)
LOD-269-00
Dr. Oswaldo Scopin de Andrade
In Part 4 of his 4 part series on Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures, Dr. Oswaldo Scopin will present a step-by-step case report of a full mouth reconstruction based on the same procedure that is typically done for single restorations.<br /><br />He will discuss the importance of the lab and will demonstrate clinical techniques for the best possible conservative approach for this sort of rehabilitation. When do we need to prep? When do we not need to prep?<br /><br />Dr. Scopin will show some cases where prepping the tooth is needed and you have pre-existing composite. He will discuss thin veneers, and what is important to understand when selecting a prep or no prep design for laminated veneers. <br /><br />Dr. Scopin will close with a case report showing a patient who needs to increase the vertical dimension only to the bonded restoration.
Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures (Part 3 of 4)
LOD-268-00
Dr. Oswaldo Scopin de Andrade
In Part 3 of his 4 part series on Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures, Dr. Oswaldo Scopin will present how you can protect dentin. He will discuss the resin coating technique which he has used for over 10 years with great results. Dr Scopin will show how you can protect dentin with just a regular dentin adhesive system. He will demonstrate step-by-step how you can do this in several different cases. In the last case of this presentation, Dr Scopin will show how to lute, and how to bond zirconia over dentin.
Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures (Part 2 of 4)
LOD-267-00
Dr. Oswaldo Scopin de Andrade
In Part 2 of his 4 part series on Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures, Dr. Oswaldo Scopin will present his process of working with resin cement, and how to do bonding to enamel which is very important. It is important to understand the structure. It is important to select the best strategy to bond or to lute ceramic restorations over each type of tooth structure. Dr Scopin will show a step by step video sequence in how to do bonding procedure and how to do a very precise bonding procedure for a thin veneer case.
