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.
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".
Esthetics in a Diseased Periodontium - Tips & Tricks
LOD-263-00
Dr. Giorgio Tabanella
Periodontal tissue destruction related to periodontitis, trauma, biologic width violation, mucogingival deformities as well as iatrogenic dentistry may lead to multiple tooth loss. The rehabilitation of neighbouring teeth in aesthetically demanding areas when associated with advanced soft and hard tissue loss may represent a surgical and aesthetic clinical challenge.<br /><br />Preservation or creation of a soft tissue scaffold needed to create the illusion of a natural tooth is often difficult to achieve when the potential for tissue regeneration is reduced. Furthermore the placement of a dental implant in the aesthetic zone with neighbouring teeth with a damaged periodontium can be a real difficult task especially when there is no room for error: the diagnosis will lead clinicians to the correct way of treating patients.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 12/20/2014 | Expires: 12/20/2017</span>

Dr. Edmond Bedrossian
In this presentation Dr Edmond Bedrossian follows up on his previous lecture 'A systematic surgical and restorative plan for treatment of the Edentulous Patient with a Fixed Prosthesis' (catalog #141-00). He will begin by highlighting the differences between the tooth-only defect patient, and the composite defect patient. He will step through 4 different cases, explaining each step that is necessary for a predictable outcome.<br /><br />Dr Bedrossian will discuss the interarch space as well as the indications for alveolaplasty: economic, technical, and esthetic.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 11/11/2014 | Expires: 11/11/2017</span>
