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.

Treatment of the edentulous maxilla with immediate function (SPANISH LANGUAGE ONLY)

LOD-057-00

Dr. Joan Pi Urgell

Uno de los temas de mayor actualidad en Implantologia Oral es la posibilidad de someter a funcion oclusal,de una forma inmediata los implantes,evitando el tiempo de espera correspondiente a la Oseointegracion En el Maxilar Inferior se han obtenido unos resultados excelentes,con extensa bibliografia que evidencian un alto grado de predictibilidad. Los mismos resultados se pueden obtener en el Maxilar Superior siguiendo unos protocolos perfectamente definidos. El objetivo de esta presentacion es la descripcion de las bases cientificas para la funcion inmediata,su aplicacion clinica y las distintas alternativas o protocolos para el tratamiento del maxilar superior,analizando los factores mas importantes y los resultados obtenidos.

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins, A Realistic Alternative to Bone Grafting<br>

LOD-054-00

Dr. Ulf Wikesjo

Surgical placement of oral implants is governed by the prosthetic design and by the morphology and quality of the alveolar bone. Often, implant placement may be difficult, if at all possible, due to alveolar ridge aberrations. In consequence, prostheticly dictated implant positioning commonly entails bone augmentation procedures. One objective of our laboratory is to evaluate the biologic and clinical potential of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) including rhBMP-2, rhOP-1/rhBMP-7, rhGDF-5, other candidate biologics, bone biomaterials, and devices for alveolar ridge augmentation and implant fixation. This presentation will discuss the unique biologic potential, the clinical relevance and perspectives of BMP technologies for alveolar bone augmentation and oral implant fixation, in particular the development of a unique bone-inductive oral implant. This presentation will also address merits and explain short-comings of current treatment protocol including bone biomaterials and guided bone regeneration (GBR). BMPs have an unparalleled potential to augment alveolar bone and support implant osseointegration and long-term functional loading. Inclusion of BMPs for alveolar augmentation and osseointegration will not only enhance predictability of existing clinical protocol but radically change current treatment paradigms. Inclusion of the bone-inductive oral implant in the treatment panorama may make 'grafting' and GBR procedures altogether obsolete.

Perio-Prosthetic Considerations Around Dental Implants<br>This course will discuss surgical and restorative concepts, procedures and solutions to improve the soft tissue emergence profile of implant and pontic sites in single implant restorations and implant bridges. The restorative choice of implant design and abutment material will be discussed and particularly the evidence of using Zirconia abutments as stable base for soft tissue esthetics and long term implant results.<br><br>The concept of using a concave or flat preplanned abutment via the cad-cam route and via the prefabricated route will be discussed and the steps preventing removal of abutments during the restorative phase.<br><br>This course will teach the restorative dentist the new concepts of zirconia abutment materials, the concave or flat abutment design and the immediate or early placement of the final abutment.
