Advances in Post Extraction Single Tooth Implant Cases in the Esthetic Zone

LOD-198-00

Dr. Egon Euwe

54 min

We have all been in the situation where we must extract a tooth with a problem, and replace it with an implant.<BR>What is the most predictable protocol for dealing with these cases? We actually know now that it is a mistake to try to fill the extraction socket completely with the implant body.<BR><BR>So we have moved away from the implant size that would completely fill the extraction socket. And, now, instead, we leave space for the buccal bone. And, we must respect that space. Another important aspect is that the provisional is essential for shaping soft-tissue emergence. We have to do eveything we can to transfer this emergence to the final restorations. And, we have to know how to avoid collapse of the soft tissue envelope we have developed with this provisional. One of the treatment goals, beyond preservation of crestal bone, is also the shaping of the palatal area of the tooth. That should be done as accurately as the buccal portion.<BR><BR>Cement rentention is a real danger, and we should be aware of that. By copying the shape of the provisional that has been extensively tested in the mouth of the patient onto the final restoration we have full control of the soft tissue contour around the implant supported resotration that mimicks the root and the shape of the natural tooth.<BR><BR>So we really create the illusion of a natural tooth. Join Dr. Euwe as he discusse the advances in the field of post-extraction implant supported restorations.

Retreatment in Endodontics - From Difficult to Complicated Cases

LOD-197-00

Dr. Constantinos Laghios

61 min

In this lecture we will describe the relationship of the root canal anatomy to the lesions that are developed at the periradicular area.<BR><BR>We will also give all the details how to remove safely different kind of materials like gutta-percha, silver cones, broken instruments, posts and pastes.<BR><BR>Details will be given as to avoid any mistakes that would possibly endanger the retreatment perforations and absorptions will be treated in a fast, predictable and simple way.

Unusual TMD Cases - Unusual Treatment

LOD-196-00

Dr. Ilia Roussou

33 min

In this lecture, we will discuss unusual Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) cases and unusual treatments.<BR><BR>We will focus specifically on occlusion and how the relationship of the dental arches interacts with the stability of the Stomatognathic system.<BR><BR>Occlusion is one of the most demanding aspects of dentistry, we all know about the term occlusion confusion.<BR><BR>Although occlusion used to be the main etiological factor for Temporomandibular Disorders and many dental treatments were performed in order to address the pain symptoms, nowadays the literature suggest that the static relationship of the dental arches is rarely the etiological factor for an intracapsular TM joint disorders or a masticatory muscles disorders, In some cases though, were the occlusion compromises the orthopedic stability of the stomatognathic system, once the pain symptoms are treated the dental problem needs to be investigated as a possible etiological factor of the TMD symptoms.

Implant placement in fresh extraction sockets. Key decision factors

LOD-193-00

Prof. Mariano Sanz

50 min

It is well established that tooth extraction will result in an apico-coronal as well as bucco-lingual reduction of the alveolar ridge, mostly in the buccal aspects of the extraction site.<BR><BR>In order to avoid this physiological bone loss some clinicians have advocated the immediate installation of implants in fresh extraction sockets. Different clinical studies have evaluated the impact of this implant placement surgical approach on different outcomes, such as: implant survival, bone crest alterations and aesthetic results.<BR><BR>However, in spite of these reports, there is a lack of well-designed clinical trials that have evaluated these outcomes systematically and there is a lack of knowledge on the possible factors associated with different hard and soft tissue outcomes of this surgical protocol.<BR><BR>This presentation will review the results from clinical trials evaluating the immediate implant placement approach and we hall review the important risk factors (implant design, implant position, implant location, thickness of bony walls, etc.) involved in the clinical outcome.<BR><BR>Finally we shall provide some clinical recommendations on the use of this surgical approach.

Predictable Soft Tissue Grafting for Esthetics in Thin Periodontium

LOD-191-00

Dr. Paul Lin

57 min

This presentation will discuss the thin periodontium and how to utilize this to achieve predictable soft tissue grafting for esthetics.<br /><br />Soft tissue grafting by root coverage and augmentation can improve the facial esthetics not just for natural teeth, but also for implants.<br /><br />By utilizing the same concept of placing the soft tissue on the thin periodontium we can help augment the tissue around implants and dentures and improve and enhance the facial esthetics.<br /><br />Animations will illustrate this concept and provide insight as to how we take the soft tissue away from the pallate and harvest it in an elegant, more predictable fashion.<br /><br />This will also show how to secure the covering flap so the patient will not experience any pain after the surgery.<br /><br />This presentation is intended to increase your understanding, comfort and confidence in performing soft tissue grafting in a more predictable way.

Complete Zirconia Restorations - Implant Supported

LOD-189-00

Dr. Fernando Rojas-Vizcaya

45 min

The most frequently encountered problem with fixed detachable dental prostheses is loosening or fracture of the prosthetic screws. Other problems include wear, separation or fracture of the resin teeth from the metal/acrylic prosthesis, chipping or fracture of porcelain from the metal/ceramic or zirconia/ceramic prosthesis, and fracture of the framework in some free-end prostheses.<BR><BR>For this type of prosthesis it is necessary to place the implants in a position that enables occlusal or lingual access so as not to impair the esthetics. When we make our restoration out of 100% zirconia we avoid the chipping. This lecture will discuss monolithic zirconia for fixed detachable restorations.<BR><BR>It's a new concept working with this type of material, and doing this type of restoration. But esthetic outcomes and promising clinical results will be presented. Beautiful cases will be displayed where complete ziconia is used to restore the pink and white esthetic of our patients when esthetics is a very important concern.<BR><BR>You will see:<BR>how to work in your office with this type of restoration;<BR>how you need to evaluate;<BR>how you need to work with the prosthesis that you receive from your dental technician;<BR>how you need to check the mouth of the patient, and how from the block of zirconia you can make your monolithic zirconia restoration.<BR><BR>You will learn, step-by-step: how to achieve the color in the prosthesis; how the dental technician can create a beautiful pink and white esthetic. All the occlusal surfaces, the incisal edge, the full prosthesis is all made from a block of zirconia. And, all without chipping.

The 3D Click Guide - A New Direction for Model-Based Guided Implant Placement

LOD-187-00

Dr. Lambert Stumpel

55 min

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Guided surgery holds the promise to place dental implants in predetermined positions; allowing many clinical decisions to be made before the actual surgical procedure.   <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Computer guided surgery has been made possible through the increased accessibility of (CB) CT technology.  It allows clinicians who do not have the experience of placing 1000+ implants per year, to deliver, in selected cases, the same superior care as the master surgeons.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Model based guided surgery has historically been in the shadow of its high tech cousin; until now. The 3 D Click Guide is a modularly adjustable surgical guide system.  While primarily a model based system, utilizing minimally invasive bone sounding, it allows easy integration with CBCT as needed.  It
