The Role of Cements in Dental Implant Restorations

LOD-284-00

Dr. Chandur Wadhwani

43 min

English

Restoring dental implants can be extremely challenging. It is imperative to understand available options related to crown retention, confirmation of fit of components and maintenance of implant restorations over time. The AAP, AAO, and the AARD have all stated that excess cement often leads to peri-implant disease and is considered a major risk factor for implant longevity. While many techniques and products have been developed specifically for cement-retained implant restorations, some are potentially detrimental to implants. Dentists are not always fully aware of the issues and implications of using inappropriate materials or methods.<br /> <br /> This presentation will explore the problems and challenges encountered by the restorative dentist, and to formulate clinical guidelines based on current research.<br /> <br /> <strong>Learning Objectives:</strong><br /> Understand the science behind the best practice of implant restoration.<br /> Understand what we need from implant cements, and how formulate a hierarchy of cement selection.<br /> How to best to detect excess cement and prevent failures.<br /> How to develop an all-encompassing cementation protocol for implant restorations.<br /> How to decide upon cemented versus screw-retained prostheses in various clinical situations.<br /> How to assess truly healthy peri-implant soft tissues.<br />

The Influence of Modern Clinical Strategies on the Integration and Reliability of the Prosthetic Outcome

Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures (Part 4 of 4)

LOD-269-00

Dr. Oswaldo Scopin de Andrade

62 min

In Part 4 of his 4 part series on Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures, Dr. Oswaldo Scopin will present a step-by-step case report of a full mouth reconstruction based on the same procedure that is typically done for single restorations.<br /><br />He will discuss the importance of the lab and will demonstrate clinical techniques for the best possible conservative approach for this sort of rehabilitation. When do we need to prep? When do we not need to prep?<br /><br />Dr. Scopin will show some cases where prepping the tooth is needed and you have pre-existing composite. He will discuss thin veneers, and what is important to understand when selecting a prep or no prep design for laminated veneers. <br /><br />Dr. Scopin will close with a case report showing a patient who needs to increase the vertical dimension only to the bonded restoration.

Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures (Part 3 of 4)

LOD-268-00

Dr. Oswaldo Scopin de Andrade

51 min

In Part 3 of his 4 part series on Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures, Dr. Oswaldo Scopin will present how you can protect dentin. He will discuss the resin coating technique which he has used for over 10 years with great results. Dr Scopin will show how you can protect dentin with just a regular dentin adhesive system. He will demonstrate step-by-step how you can do this in several different cases. In the last case of this presentation, Dr Scopin will show how to lute, and how to bond zirconia over dentin.

Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures (Part 2 of 4)

LOD-267-00

Dr. Oswaldo Scopin de Andrade

50 min

In Part 2 of his 4 part series on Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures, Dr. Oswaldo Scopin will present his process of working with resin cement, and how to do bonding to enamel which is very important. It is important to understand the structure. It is important to select the best strategy to bond or to lute ceramic restorations over each type of tooth structure. Dr Scopin will show a step by step video sequence in how to do bonding procedure and how to do a very precise bonding procedure for a thin veneer case.

Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures (Part 1 of 4)

LOD-266-00

Dr. Oswaldo Scopin de Andrade

57 min

English

In Part 1 of this 4 part series on Adhesive & Esthetic Dentistry - Minimally Invasive Procedures, Dr. Oswaldo Scopin will start with a short introduction about this concept which is essential for clinical longevity. He will present his findings from a study he published showing results from a long-term analysis of laminate veneers.<br /><br />Dr Scopin will explain the important steps to achieve the 'perfect' margin of a restoration. How do you continue this year after year? What is important to maintain clinical control? How do we achieve the 'perfect' marginal adaptation? Do we change the preparation? Do we change the ceramic? Do we try to preserve more tooth structure? Each of these questions will be addressed, all with a focus on minimally invasive restorative dentistry.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation (Part 2 of 2) - Esthetic & Function

LOD-265-00

Dr. Francesco Mintrone

43 min

English

In this second part of his two part Lecture Series on Full Mouth Rehabilitation, Dr Francesco Mintrone will discuss the details of planning cases with specific emphasis on aspects of esthetics and function. He will begin with cases involving implants and natural teeth and will end up with a case where he will have to perform a full mouth rehabilitation.<br><br><a href="http://gidedental.com/ShopItem.aspx?idProduto=1178">click here</a> for more info on Part 1.<br /><br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 1/5/2015 | Expires: 1/5/2018</span>

Nutrition - Designing Smiles from the Inside Out

LOD-262-00

Dr. Sanda Moldovan

40 min

In this presentation, Dr Sanda Moldovan will discuss nutrition as it applies to patient outcomes.<br /><br />After years of study and experience as both a periodontist and nutritionist, Dr Moldovan has seen the connection between nutrition and clinical results.<br /><br />We have a global epidemic of obesity Today. Over 30% of US adults are obese. What does that mean for us as practitioners? We know that these patients are not going to heal well. They are going to have a lot of inflamation, pain, and excessive swelling. This presentation will discuss how to deal with these patients.<br /><br />Dr. Moldovan will discuss what is important in bone healing and soft tissue healing, and what nutritional support options are available for maximizing these processes.<br /><br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 1/24/2015 | Expires: 1/24/2018</span>

The Graftless Concept - A Systematic Pre-Treatment Evaluation Method for Treatment of the Edentulous Patient with a Fixed Prosthesis

LOD-261-00

Dr. Edmond Bedrossian

75 min

In this presentation Dr Edmond Bedrossian follows up on his previous lecture 'A systematic surgical and restorative plan for treatment of the Edentulous Patient with a Fixed Prosthesis' (catalog #141-00). He will begin by highlighting the differences between the tooth-only defect patient, and the composite defect patient. He will step through 4 different cases, explaining each step that is necessary for a predictable outcome.<br /><br />Dr Bedrossian will discuss the interarch space as well as the indications for alveolaplasty: economic, technical, and esthetic.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 11/11/2014 | Expires: 11/11/2017</span>

Paradigm Shift: Soft Tissue Concept

LOD-245-00

Dr. IƱaki Gamborena

66 min

In this lecture presentation Dr Gamborena will discuss the Soft Tissue Concept and what it is about. We can face a lot of problems when we get to the surgical part. We can find ourselves with prosthetics and healing abutments that are way too big. Dr Gamborena will share information about a healing abutment that he has been working with for the last 6-8 years, and that has finally entered the market as of fall 2014. He will show how the abutment works and how you can improve the maximization of your space and be able to graft at the ridge with a totally different approach: Following the concept about what we do Today around implants, compensating the volume from bone, shifting into the soft tissue and being able to create prosthetically something beyond what you might be used to so far.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 9/2/2014 | Expires: 9/2/2017</span>
