Esthetic Implant Failures - Etiologies and Solutions
LOD-146-00
Dr. Bobby Butler
This lecture will focus on how to correct Esthetic Implant Complications by utilizing soft tissue augmentation procedures. Implant dentistry has brought our patients many benefits. However we do encounter complications, especially in the esthetic zone when implants are misplaced, or not properly planned. While some complications can be corrected, some cannot be if there is too much bone loss. Cases of each will be discussed.
Minimally Invasive Implant Surgery - Revolutionize Your Treatment Approach
LOD-145-00
Dr. Roland Glauser
This lecture will present the current thinking and techniques in implant treatment. How can we approach implant treatment with modern technology in a better way to increase patient acceptance and also to protect and maintain better tissue contours as compared to standard conventional protocols. The viewer will obtain information from this lecture that will bring a new perspective to how you approach implant treatment in your own practice.<br>
NobelActive - Predictable Function and Esthetics
LOD-144-00
Dr. Ophir Fromovich
What is the difference between a normal tooth and an implant? What is the critical size? Why do implants avoid resorption, and give us more esthetic? How is it possible to do an extraction, place an implant, bone augmentation all in the same day, and have a beautiful esthetic. And, for a full year no resorption? Various special implant types will also be discussed.
Extraction Site Management for Alveolar Ridge Preservation
LOD-143-00
Prof. Eric Rompen
This lecture will focus on how to manage the extraction socket in the esthetic zone. What do we do not to lose too much volume? Management for both immediate and delayed implant placement will be discussed.<br> <br> <span class='style2'>REVIEWS/FEEDBACK:</span><br> <font color='#000000' face='verdana' size='2'><font color='#0099ff'>'An innovative approach!

Advanced Implant Treatment Planning - A Systematic Approach
LOD-142-00
Dr. Alexandre-Amir Aalam
Dental and periodontal loss of structures is associated with multiple challenges in proper implant treatment planning. Temporization and site development procedures are a major difficulty for such patients. A detailed evaluation and comprehensive treatment plan should always precede any irreversible act such as an extraction. Interplay between the specialties is the hallmark of success in any multidisciplinary treatment plan. This presentation illustrates how to maximize patient comfort and satisfaction while progressing through complex dental treatments.<br> <br> <span class='style2'>REVIEWS/FEEDBACK:</span><br> <font color='#000000' face='verdana' size='2'><font color='#0099ff'>'There is a class of patient cases that present some bewilderment, namely large, advanced cases. This new lecture in the gIDE lecture library, 'Advanced Implant Treatment Planning: A Systematic Approach' with Dr. Alexandre Aalam & Dr. Mamaly Reshad, presents a well thought out introduction to advanced treatment planning. With their multi-disciplinary, four pillared approach of 'Posterior Support', 'Site Development', Space Management' & 'Esthetics' they make sense of what otherwise can seem mysterious.'</font><br> <font color='#ff6600'>- Dr. David E.

LOD-141-00
Dr. Edmond Bedrossian
This lecture will show you the systematic way to evaluate the treatment planning of edentulous patients, especially the edentulous maxillary patients.<br><br>Immediate loading and the biology behind why this concept is now acceptable and predictable will be discussed.
Why Guided Surgery (Part 2) - Edentulous Treatment Options
LOD-139-00
Dr. Christopher B. Marchack
The treatment of the fully edentulous patient with computer assisted tomography, computer assisted surgical planning software, and a guided surgical technique using a stereo-lithography surgical template for implant placement has five-year clinical studies reported. Initial issues with esthetics and fit of the prosthesis are concerns. This presentation will discuss the treatment of the fully edentulous arch, treatment factors, and treatment options. At the conclusion of the presentation a demonstration will be performed treatment planning the edentulous patient using a surgical planning software program.
Piezosurgery - State of the Art in Implantology
LOD-138-00
Dr. Tomaso Vercellotti
Through the use of Piezosurgery (invented by Dr. Vercellotti) the new surgical technique, Differential Implant Site Preparation, will be introduced in order to optimize the bone preparation to obtain the best implant positioning. <br><br>Bone surface characteristics after Piezosurgery will be compared to that after twist-drill.<br><br>Advantages of Piezosurgery, such as less healing time, and easier post-op, will be discussed. <br><br>One of the most interesting applications is to do the Implant Site Preparation at the time of tooth extraction. This technique offers the beginner the opportunity to modify and correct mistakes during the surgery to obtain an optimal surgical result in the end.
The Art and Science of Surgical Crown Lengthening
LOD-137-00
Dr. Barry Wagenberg
Surgical Crown Lengthening is one of the most misunderstood and difficult procedures to perform. It's time consuming, it's technically and psychologically difficult, and requires the therapist to remove a substantial amount of tooth structure and bone around adjacent roots. The procedure that is demonstrated in this lecture will feature a technique in which you can preserve the coronal bone, and determine whether the crown lengthening procedure is feasible, or will it endanger the adjacent root structures, or will it create a set of defects prior to removing any adjacent bone.
State of the Art in Sinus Augmentation - Current and Future Trends
LOD-136-00
Dr. Ziv Mazor
In this presentation, the presenter will show what is the current situation and treatment regarding sinus augmentation. The presenter will discuss what we know today as closed and open approach to sinus augmentation and also what type of grafting materials in these situations, and what types of implants to use in sinus augmention, and, what kind of surgical interventions we can offer our patients. The presenter will also discuss the future of Sinus Augmentation, which involves a minimally invasive balloon elevation approach. This will not only minimize the treatment time of the operator, but, also, the post-op will be reduced to a minimum for our patients.
