Implant Interactions in Orthodontics
LOD-113-01
Dr. Frank Celenza
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

Minimally Invasive Soft Tissue Augmentation
LOD-067-00
Dr. Homa H. Zadeh
A variety of techniques have been described for augmentation of soft tissue around teeth with varying donor material and access. Recently, tunnel technique has been used for minimally invasive assess to sites being augmented. This presentation will describe a novel access for soft tissue augmentation and root coverage. Moreover, application of autogenous tissue, as well as growth factors will be discussed. Minimally invasive soft tissue augmentation may also be applied for modification of thin biotypes around dental implants. The techniques described will be illustrated with clinical cases.
Tissue Engineering for Hard and Soft Tissue Regeneration - Clinical and Applied Results
LOD-064-00
Dr. E. Todd Scheyer
The promising field of periodontal tissue engineering, barely a decade old, is likely to revolutionize Periodontics. Cell based man-made skin, the first commercial product of tissue engineering, is already on the market and other variations will soon join it. Recombinant technology has provided us the first fully synthetic powerful growth factor available in periodontics with r-PDGF-BB which has been critically evaluated in all areas of periodontal research. This course will provide an overview of biologically based and live cell based tissue substitutes. Results from human and animal studies using biomimetics and tissue engineering to facilitate root coverage and bone formation will be discussed and human histology will be reviewed. Expanded clinical applications of growth factor influenced wound healing in tissue regeneration will also be presented.
Current trends in Aesthetic Periodontology

Dr. Andre Saadoun
Nowadays, the goal of periodontal plastic muccogingival procedure is to perform surgery as atraumatically as possible at the recipient and donor site. Recently, as an alternative to autogeneous gingival graft in root coverage procedures, Enamel Matrix Derivative and acellular dermal matrix allograft were utilized to correct this gingival defect, negating the requirement for a second surgical site.

The course will assist dentists in developing a plan to create a digital or chartless practice. We will look at the six components of a digital practice and how to make intelligent decisions for purchasing each component. We will also look at the process to integrate all of these components together.
YSGG Laser Precision in Periodontal Plastic Surgery
LOD-059-00
Dr. Bobby Butler
Lasers have been used in dentistry for many years. Mostly they have been used with soft tissue procedures. Recently the Er,Cr:YSGG laser has been shown to be safe and effective in osseous procedures. Many cosmetic dentists have been using lasers for esthetic crown lengthening procedures, but most of these cases are simple gingivectomies and not true crown lengthening procedures. Complications can occur without understanding the biologic width and different periodontal biotypes. This presentation will discuss current and future applications with the Er, Cr: YSGG laser with periodontal surgical procedures. The focus will be its use in closed and open esthetic crown lenghtening procedures. Discussion with case selection and osseous biotypes with be stressed. Other applications involving osseous augmentation procedures, harvesting osseous blocks, ridge splitting and lateral sinus wall procedures, will also be briefly discussed.
