As experience with osseointegration increases, the application of various treatment modalities for both conventional and compromised patients also expands. A natural benefit of this growth in the learning curve is a better appreciation of emerging concepts for treatment planning with immediate loading. Angled or tilted implants used to support edentulous arch restorations have become a standard in implant dentistry. Early concerns regarding off-axis loading producing detrimental forces have been addressed with more recent publications presenting sound evidence as to the efficacy of this approach. As a result, treatment plans can now be created that eliminate the need for grafting, shorten overall treatment time, and allow for immediate loading in a much broader spectrum of patient presentations. Tilting of implants can also provide improved anterior –posterior spread and enhanced cross-arch stability, with the ultimate effect being a reduction in the number of implants needed (as few as 4 in the edentulous arch) for support in many cases. Longer implants can now be placed with the same effect for cross-arch stabilization, but with anchorage in areas remote from the oral cavity (zygoma) with documented high rates of success. With the use of CBCT scans for accurate diagnosis of osseous anatomy and determining the capability of existing bone to allow immediate loading, this approach is now even more controlled and precise.<br /> <br /> This presentation will focus on current clinical experience using available bone receptor sites to place implants for maximum desired effect with Immediate Loading.<br /> <br /> Additionally presented will be an analysis of present success rates that have provided the basis for creating a treatment planning protocol to avoid complications.
Soft Tissue Grafting for Implant Complications in the Esthetic Zone (CHINESE LANGUAGE ONLY)
LOD-276-00
Dr. Paul Lin
Chinese
In this lecture, discover how to utilize Soft Tissue Grafting for correcting implant complications. Utilize 5 pink dilemmas to analyze the implant complications in the esthetic zone. Determine what the problem is: Is it a buccal concavity problem? Marginal recession? Papilla loss? Asymmetry? Or is it a color & texture problem? Utilize several soft tissue techniques: free gingival graft; connective tissue graft; modified roll technique; and modified VIP-CT technique. For the purposes of correction Dr. Lin breaks down implant complications into 7 categories. The steps for managing implant complications are similar to periodontal therapy. With proper case selection, patient selection, and procedure selection you will be able to achieve management of complications by soft tissue in a predictable way.
Predictable and Esthetic Implant Results with Guided Surgery
LOD-275-00
Dr. Kyle Stanley
English
In this presentation, Dr. Kyle Stanley will show how to achieve predictable and esthetic implant results with guided surgery.<br /> <br /> The biggest problems in implant dentistry tend to be due to lack of planning and knowledge, improperly placed implants, esthetic zone problems, and periimplantitis which is related to all of these put together.<br /> <br /> By utilizing a guided surgery protocol, we can avoid a lot of these problems. Dr Stanley will discuss most importantly: planning, communicating, and guiding. By focusing on these steps we can achieve the best possible outcome with our implants.
Severe Gingival Recession Treatment with Connective Tissue Grafts
LOD-274-00
Dr. Nelson Carranza
Gingival recessions are probably one of the most frustrating challenges that young surgeons and periodontists confront everyday. Gingival recessions <br /><br />are not all the same, and require different approaches, depending on their characteristics. In this lecture, Dr. Carranza will share with you the way <br /><br />to approach the treatment of severe gingival recession, with gingival connected tissue graphs. <br /><br />Throughout this lecture, he will explain technical aspects that hopefully will help you decide which technique suits you better. He will also present a <br /><br />short video with technical details about one of the techniques he will use when analyzing the double papilla graft technique.
Patient Options for the Edentulous Maxilla
LOD-271-00
Dr. Yvan Fortin
In this lecture, Dr. Yvan Fortin will discuss the Fully Edentulous Maxilla. He will focus on solutions without bone grafting and without restorative compromise. He will discuss different surgical tools such as short implants, tilted implants, and zygomatic implants. He will also discuss various prosthetic options: a fixed bridge with natural papillae, a fixed bridge replacing soft tissue deficiency including papillae, and a fixed-detachable bridge managing lip support with flange. Dr. Fortin will discuss 'molar-to-malar alignment' with zygomatic implants. It is a unique approach that is minimally invasive, predictable, and provides excellent stability with just a regular flap, and produces impressive results.<br /><br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 1/29/2015 | Expires: 1/29/2018</span>
