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
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.

Dr. Costin Marinescu
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We want to achieve long-lasting results for our patients in treatments that are perfectly tolerated by the body, restore good health, and look beautiful. This presentation will outline the logical flow-chart that Dr. Marinescu utilizes every day in his own practice (Exam >> Diagnosis >> Treatment >> Maintenance) and the interconnection of each individual step with each other.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The Stomatognathic System (the ensemble of bones, muscles, joints, teeth and supporting structures) has two states: Pathological and Physiological. How these two conditions influence each other will be discussed, and how important it is for us to find the threshold between the two.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This presentation will also look at occlusion concepts: how teeth come in contact, and the pathways through which they are moving in performing everyday functions like chewing, and how to design our restorations so we can achieve beautiful results but that are functionally tolerated and perfectly integrated with our patients" health. A history of occlusion concepts will be presented that will cover all the way through to the latest research that are empowering us more and more to offer our patients minimally invasive restorative dentistry that will balance their Stomatognathic System and that will offer a predictability for long term.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Offer your patients the most conservative treatments with the minimum impact and the stability of the Stomatognathic System with a long term impact in quality of life...and a beautiful esthetic result.</p>
Comparison and Contrast of Direct vs. Indirect Anterior Restorations in Natural Teeth
LOD-159-00
Dr. Stratis Papazoglou
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture involves the selection of appropriate treatment procedures for anterior aesthetic restorations. First we will review the anatomy of the tooth structure, not because we are going to actually mimic the natural tooth histology, but because we need to know the esthetic target. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Our actual goal will be to create the illusion of the natural tooth using composite resin or ceramic materials with different translucency properties. This lecture will underline the importance of proper diagnosis, in formulation of the treatment plan based on patient age, patient preferences, economic limitations, sound scientific principles, and treatment philosophy of the operator. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Example cases involve closing diastemas with direct procedures, restoration of fractured anterior teeth, restoration of discolored teeth, re-restoration of previously restored teeth, teeth with wear and erosion, teeth with size, shape, and position problems.</p>
Conservative Rehabilitation of Abrasion & Erosion Cases
LOD-147-00
Dr. Didier Dietschi
This Lecture will review the use of direct and indirect adhesive techniques to solve complex cases involving abrasion and erosion. It will focus specifically on the use of composites. Timely use of composites is crucial, and waiting until the problem becomes too severe will often cause crown and other extensive preparations to be necessary.
