State of the Art in Sinus Augmentation - Current and Future Trends

LOD-136-00

Dr. Ziv Mazor

55 min

In this presentation, the presenter will show what is the current situation and treatment regarding sinus augmentation. The presenter will discuss what we know today as closed and open approach to sinus augmentation and also what type of grafting materials in these situations, and what types of implants to use in sinus augmention, and, what kind of surgical interventions we can offer our patients. The presenter will also discuss the future of Sinus Augmentation, which involves a minimally invasive balloon elevation approach. This will not only minimize the treatment time of the operator, but, also, the post-op will be reduced to a minimum for our patients.

Immediate Implant Placement in the Esthetic Zone

LOD-135-00

Dr. Joseph Kan

53 min

This lecture will focus on the dynamics of gingival tissue, and how it responds to immediate, compared to delayed from a scientific and clinical perspective. The key points for achieving optimal gingival esthetics will be discussed.

Why Guided Surgery (Part 1) - A Restorative Perspective

LOD-134-00

Dr. Christopher B. Marchack

60 min

To achieve an ideal prosthetic result with dental implants, it takes proper treatment planning. The use of surgical templates, helps ensure the correct implant position. Traditional implant placement, with conventional surgical templates are restorative driven, although it does not account for anatomical factors that will make it impossible to place the implant. CAD/CAM surgical templates or guided templates, through the use of surgical planning software allows for a restorative driven implant placement along with a three dimensional view of the patient’s anatomy. This presentation will discuss the advantages of guided surgery in treating patients with this advancing technology.

Treatment of Gingival Recession - Part 2 of Achieving Esthetic Predictability in Periodontology (2 Part Series)

LOD-133-00

Dr. Andre Saadoun

57 min

A major evolution in periodontology has taken place with less invasive surgery and more sophisticated approaches.<br><br>The predictability of the different therapeutic modalities and the long-term prognosis involve a scientific approach in all clinical procedures using one or several delicate osseous and/or muco-gingival plastic surgeries.<br><br>Part 2 focuses on the treatment of gingival recession.

Crown Lengthening - Part 1 of Achieving Esthetic Predictability in Periodontology (2 Part Series)

LOD-132-00

Dr. Andre Saadoun

54 min

A major evolution in periodontology has taken place with less invasive surgery and more sophisticated approaches.<br><br>The predictability of the different therapeutic modalities and the long-term prognosis involve a scientific approach in all clinical procedures using one or several delicate osseous and/or muco-gingival plastic surgeries.

Implant Practice Management and Marketing

LOD-123-00

Dr. Zeljko Popadic

49 min

This presentation covers the important steps in clinical practice how to communicate the skills of an implant clinician and how to organize the dental office staff. In todays modern world, a clinician has to be trained to be a manager running a small, medium or large corporation. How do I motivate my staff? How do i brand my office or clinic? What logo do I use to represent me and my skills? What communication do I have with my patients locally or further off? Can the internet be used to introduce and position a dental office in front of the eyes of a prospective patient and what should be placed into a website? These are all questions which are important for a clinician today and Dr. Popadic has impressive knowledge in this topic and knows how to transfer it to his colleagues.

Treatment of Complications in Sinus Grafting

LOD-122-00

Dr. Istvan Urban

59 min

This lecture covers some of the most important points in implant surgery and in particular in sinus bone graft surgery which have to do with preventing problems and complications and how to diagnose and treat them when they arise. It is very difficult to find a scientific presentation on this topic and is therefore highly recommended for the implant clinician who performs or is getting ready to perform sinus bone graft surgery.

Ridge Augmentation Using rhPDGF Growth Factors

LOD-121-00

Prof. Massimo Simion

40 min

This lecture covers the topic of ridge augmentation using the line of growthfactors termed rhPDGF (Gem-21) mixed with xenograft, TCP and autograft for implant placement. The scientific background and the first clinical cases are discussed and demonstrated. The new bone graft material shows to be an enhancement to the current technique of GBR.

Seeking Interdisciplinary Excellence

LOD-113-02

Dr. Frank Celenza

47 min

The integration of Periodontics with Orthodontics might seem perplexing at first. Whereas the specialty of Orthodontics has historically been associated with a younger patient population, that of Periodontics is probably associated with an older patient type. Why then, would one choose to practice the two together? Are there interactions that we, as clinicians can harness for our patients? <br> This presentation will outline and delineate what many of these combined treatment modalities are, and how they fit into interdisciplinary treatment planning. In many of these examples, the prosthetic and esthetic benefits will be illustrated. Further, the development and evolution of these combined specialties through the eyes and experiences of the presenter will be explored, with a perspective towards future developments that are of interest.

Implant Interactions in Orthodontics

LOD-113-01

Dr. Frank Celenza

47 min

Whereas the advent of successful and predictable implant dentistry has had a pronounced impact on the practice of restorative dentistry, the same might not be said for the effect implants have had upon the specialty of Orthodontics. However, this presenter feels strongly that a new era of Orthodontic involvement with implants is upon us, and will illustrate the fascinating ability of implants to facilitate tooth movement.<br> The development of implants as useful entities to an Orthodontist, both in the techniques of
