Full Digital Workflow - What has Changed? What will change?
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
Lasers in Contemporary Implant Dentistry - Part 2
LOD-238-00
Dr. Glenn van As
Part 2 of 2: Lasers in Contemporary Implant Dentistry by Dr. Glenn van As<br /><br />Part 1 (LOD 237-00) of this two part series will look at four things that can happen with laser tissue interactions: Scatter, Transmission (or Refraction), Absorption, and Reflection. This will help us understand the physics and science of lasers. We will look at the several different wavelengths available for implant dentistry, and which one might be appropriate for your practice. This lecture will present a protocol that will help you determine where lasers can fit in to implant dentistry. And, finally, we will discuss how lasers can impact before you place your implant, and during the placement of your implant.<br /><br />Part 2 (LOD 238-00) of this two part series will discuss the role of lasers after the implant has been placed. We will demonstrate how it can be used to improve healing. It can be used during uncovery. It can be used in periimplant tissue removal, and even in the exciting world of periimplantitis. Clinical cases will be presented showing hard-tissue lasers being used for decortication as an alternative to traditional means. We will focus on why an electrosurge may be damaging to your implants, and may cause you more problems than benefits, and why a diode-laser may be your treatment of choice. This lecture will conclude with what may be the future of lasers, and how Erbium lasers might be able to be used in periimplantitis to not only remove biofilms and surfaces like TiUnite, but to actively allow for reosseointegration to occur.

CAD/CAM Fabricated Complete Dentures: From Concept to Reality

Dr. Charles Goodacre
This presentation will show the procedures used to record the clinical information needed for the fabrication of conventional complete dentures using CAD/CAM technology as well as the fabrication process itself.<BR><BR>Recently, the technology has been applied to implant overdentures and fixed complete arch provisional prostheses used in conjunction with the immediate loading of dental implants and these procedures are shown.
The Biodynamics of Osseointegration Facts and Clinical Implications
LOD-207-00
Dr. Peter Schupbach
Dental implants are placed into the alveolar bone, with the expectation that they become osseointegrated and that the periimplant mucosa will heal to the abutment surface and fulfill the primary functions of the periodontal tissues, which are attachment and protection of the soft tissue and the underlying bone.<BR><BR>This requires that the rather rigid ankylotic like connection between implant and bone replaces functionally the sophisticated suspension via the periodontal ligament as offered by the evolution and, that the structural framework of the periimplant mucosa matches the architecture of the gingiva. <BR><BR>The context of an understanding of the elicited host site interfacial healing response will be reiterated for the time period immediately following implant placement up to long term behavior.

Ridge Augmentation Using rhPDGF Growth Factors
LOD-121-00
Prof. Massimo Simion
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
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.
