Achieving Ultimate Aesthetics with Implants in the Aesthetic Zone - Lecture III
LOD-035-03
Dr. Tidu Mankoo
Achieving Ultimate Aesthetics with Implants in the Aesthetic Zone<br>This advanced surgical and prosthetic course will outline the author's contemporary concepts in management of single tooth implants in the aesthetic zone with a view to achieving optimum long term aesthetics and stability. The topic is divided into 3 consecutive lectures designed to be taken as a series. The emphasis will be on the diagnosis, treatment planning and clinical management and an understanding and application of the biological factors that influence our treatment outcomes. The cases will range form simple to complex single tooth cases in both healed ridge and extraction situations following onto the management of multiple adjacent implants, large cases and full arch/full mouth restoration.<br><br>Lecture III:<br>This lecture will deal with multiple and adjacent tooth restoration in healed sites, in immediate replacement and in compromised cases

Anterior Esthetic Implant Treatment
LOD-032-00
Dr. Bernard Touati
This lecture will outline the concepts in the optimization of esthetic results on implants with a biological approach. The author will stress the need to clinically obtain long-lasting health and stability of the surrounding soft tissues which should be achieved predictably in each and every surgical and restorative implant treatment. The lecture will cover biologically designed abutments, transmucosal biocompatibility of restorative materials, submergence/emergence profiles, connections/disconnections of prosthetic parts, scanning or impression of abutments connected during 1st stage surgery, and explore treatment options from diagnostic models through immediate provisionals to the optimal definitive ceramic-based restorations. The cases will range from single to multiple implants, in complex or simple situations in healed or extraction sites.
Endo or Implant - Rational decision making from an Endodontist's viewpoint
LOD-029-00
Dr. L. Stephen Buchanan
As an Endodontists who places implants, Dr. Buchanan presents a uniquely balanced argument for when to save teeth with endodontic therapy and when the patient will be better served by replacement of the tooth with an implant. Dr. Buchanan will first explain the procedural advances available from endodontic specialists to save many teeth previously thought to be unsalvageable, including microsurgery, MTA root repair material, ultrasonics, and state-of-the-art shaping, cleaning, and 3D obturation technology. Then he will discuss how the structural integrity of roots greatly affects the long term prognosis of endodontically-treated teeth and methods for maintaining the inherent strength of teeth being saved with RCT. Finally, Dr. Buchanan will explore the advantages and satisfaction of a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment planning with an emphasis on the new trend of endodontists to view themselves as understructure specialists.
Guided Implant Surgery - A New Dimension in Surgical Precision
LOD-028-00
Dr. Roland Glauser
Today, dental implants are used to support all different kinds of restorations (fixed vs removable, single-tooth replacement vs partial or full-arch restorations). As a consequence, pre-operative diagnostics are considered to be the foundation of a precise as well as a restoration driven implant placement. Intra-operatively, surgical stents and other visual aids are routinely used to transfer the planned 3-dimensional implant position into the surgical field. However, traditional surgical templates are mostly used to re-check drilling steps and the finally established implant position only on a visual basis. Therefore, local anatomic conditions (bone defects, etc.), limited surgical skills, or simply a poor visual judgement may still lead to a compromised implant positioning. In contrast, a real guided implant surgery relates to a new generation of surgical template and offers a precise transfer of the planned implant position into the surgical field. Thereby, pre-operative planning and production of surgical templates are either model based (for single-tooth and small partial cases) or computer generated (long-span partial and edentulous cases). Overall, guided implant surgery reduces chairside time, morbidity, post-operative pain and swelling, and may also offer a flap-less surgical approach or an immediate restoration protocol. Hence, guided implant surgery may also be considered as a next level in quality assurance. This lecture discusses todays different options using either model based or CT-derived templates for guided implant surgery.

The Art of The Smile-From Diagnosis to Individualized Multidisciplinary Treatment Plan
LOD-024-00
Dr. Rafi Romano
During the last decade aesthetic demands in general, and in dentistry in particular, have changed dramatically and patients are much more aware of the possibilities that are available for them to achieve better aesthetic results. Many dentists use the latest technology and the most recent innovations in dental materials, but ignore the fundamental factor of the treatment - the diagnosis. Adult treatment always involves a multidisciplinary approach which requires full cooperation of the dental team: prosthodontist-periodontist / dental surgeon-orthodontist. The orthodontist, who is usually the most skilled member of the team to analyze the facial complex, is responsible for providing a detailed diagnosis together with a few alternative treatment plans that are based not only on the dental findings, but also on the patient's request. The lecture will focus on the criteria for proper diagnosis and will provide the clinician the tools that will help him/her achieve a proper individualized treatment plan.

This program reviews the essential components and appointments required to complete implant cases. Operatory room setup, materials, procedures, and implant component inventory are illustrated. Liaison with the front office and dental lab require a system by the assistant to keep cases on time and on track. Methods to liaison with the front office and dental lab are illustrated to help the assistant keep cases tracked and on time. Scripted responses to common patient comments about are illustrated that positively promote the use of implants.
