Esthetics in a Diseased Periodontium - Tips & Tricks

LOD-263-00

Dr. Giorgio Tabanella

70 min

Periodontal tissue destruction related to periodontitis, trauma, biologic width violation, mucogingival deformities as well as iatrogenic dentistry may lead to multiple tooth loss. The rehabilitation of neighbouring teeth in aesthetically demanding areas when associated with advanced soft and hard tissue loss may represent a surgical and aesthetic clinical challenge.<br /><br />Preservation or creation of a soft tissue scaffold needed to create the illusion of a natural tooth is often difficult to achieve when the potential for tissue regeneration is reduced. Furthermore the placement of a dental implant in the aesthetic zone with neighbouring teeth with a damaged periodontium can be a real difficult task especially when there is no room for error: the diagnosis will lead clinicians to the correct way of treating patients.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 12/20/2014 | Expires: 12/20/2017</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>

Alveolar Ridge Preservation for Implant and Pontic Site Development

LOD-249-00

Dr. Barry Bartee

83 min

In this presentation Dr. Bartee will discuss the scientific basis for ridge preservation. He will discuss the materials that are available and the pros and cons of each. Dr Bartee will show a technique that he developed using Dense PTFE membrane with and without collagen for the treatment of simple defects, as well as more complex defects. Dr Bartee will also share an approach to treatment planning that is organized, and systematic so that you can have some idea before you start the case of a logical sequential treatment plan that will result in predictability.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 11/7/2014 | Expires: 11/7/2017</span>

A Novel Approach to Implant Screw-Retained Restorations

LOD-248-00

Dr. Giacomo Fabbri

43 min

The use of zirconia is an esthetic alternative to metal for implant supported frameworks and it is considered primarily for its high biocompatibility, low bacterial surface adhesion, high flexural strength, and high mechanical features due to the transformation toughening mechanism. The zirconia frameworks in fixed prosthetic restorations supported by implants is commonly covered with hand-layered overlay porcelain. This technical procedure is highly esthetic but it causes some complications such as fracture of the porcelain layers.<br /><br />The purpose of this lecture is to introduce an innovative approach for creating an esthetic fixed ceramic implant restoration to minimize and facilitate the repairing of these mechanical complications. This approach provides the combination of zirconia frameworks with lithium disilicate restorations cemented on the top with an adhesive cement in order to have final screw retained rehabilitations. This technique can be used both in cases of partial or complete rehabilitation and the topics that we will discuss are concerning the framework design that is a prosthetic design not anatomical design like in the case of a layered framework where it is important to maintain a uniform thickness of layered ceramic on the top. The manufacturing of monolithic lithium disilicate restorations both anteriorly and posteriorly, lithium disilicate is a material that doesn

Paradigm Shift: Soft Tissue Concept

LOD-245-00

Dr. Iñaki 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>

The Esthetic Connection: Smile Design Communication

LOD-244-00

Dr. Galip Gurel

59 min

When we discuss smile design Today, one important aspect that must be considered when planning treatment is smile design management.<br><br>Our complex cases involve many variables: auxillary dentists and technicians, a vast range of materials and resources, patient expectations, etc. Achieving optimal outcomes in these cases requires precise treatment planning and execution. In this presentation Dr. Galip Gurel will not only share his clinical insights for approaching smile design. He will also share the management steps he uses for bringing everyone and everything involved in the case together so that we can expect a successful treatment.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 7/15/2014 | Expires: 7/15/2017</span>

Full Mouth Rehabilitation (Part 1 of 2) - A Systematic Approach

LOD-243-00

Dr. Francesco Mintrone

39 min

This lecture will be focused on the esthetics analysis that should be done every time when approaching an esthetic and functional rehabilitation. <br><br>Starting from the facial analysis and continuing with the dento-labial analysis, phonetic analysis, dental analysis and then finishing with some concepts of occlusion, we will try to provide a guideline to the full oral rehabilitation.<br><br>This presentation will examine, with a step by step approach, the rehabilitation of a case of dental erosion in which all operative stages are guided from the initial esthetic analysis and subsequent previsualization of the final tooth profile before starting any active therapy.<br><br>We will evaluate 3 cases of full mouth rehabilitation where the use of dental implants will become more consistent. In the last case we will focus on the planning phase as a result of aesthetic analysis in the way to place the implants in their perfect tridimensional position to support the esthetic rehabilitation.<br><br>Finally, we will evaluate a novel approach for implant screw-retained restorations in which we will use an adhesive combination of zirconia framework and lithium disilicate.<br><br><a href="http://gidedental.com/product?pid=917">click here</a> for more info on Part 2.<br> <br /> <strong>Learning Objectives:</strong><br /> - Learn how to make an Esthetic analysis to guide the decision process of the esthetic rehabilitation<br /> <br /> - Learn how to proceed to create a correct treatment planning in the full mouth rehabilitation<br /> <br /> - Learn key concepts of digital smile design<br /> <br /> - Learn how to plan the implant’s tridimensional position consequential to the esthetic result we want to obtain <br /> <br /> - Learn how to use the prosthetic esthetic material in a way to decrease the number of complications<br />
