Dr. Sam Strong
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will explore a mechanism for converting an existing conventional denture to an implant retained overdenture and also how to use implants with removable partial dentures.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will look at trimming out the existing conventional denture and picking up locator attachments so that they are incorporated into the original denture base, giving the patient a spare overdenture.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will also look at the use of small numbers of implants. For example: one on a lower arch case to retain a partial denture simply by one implant in which this case supposes an overdenture.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">And, finally we will look at an additional case: a bi-lateral extension case retained solely by two locater attachments.</p>

Dr. Sam Strong
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture focuses on CAD/CAM Technology and the production of Titanium bar overdentures as well as Zirconia frameworks for fixed implant restorations.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">It will illustrate the use of the acrylic verification stent and why it"s important in CAD/CAM technology. It will illustrate the exciting new technology that is available from the Procera form of software and milling capability to produce titanium bars and zirconia frameworks.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">It will show the beautiful titanium bar and why it is a step up in technology, why it is an improvement over our former cast alloy technology to produce effective, successful, long-lasting overdenture therapy.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">And then, finally, it will illustrate the use of some new framework design for zirconia, that will allow us to produce strong and very aesthetic, screw retained implant fixed restorations. </p>

Dr. Nelson Carranza
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Our patients are requesting almost perfect esthetic results. Restorative dentistry is responding with new materials and techniques that allow wonderful tooth mimicking. In many cases, especially in implant dentistry, the challenge still present today relies on soft tissue management. Periodontal surgery is evolving to meet these challenges into a new concept termed

Treating the Edentulous Arch with Removable Implant Overdentures Jaw Relation Records
LOD-154-00
Dr. Sam Strong
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This presentation is the second of 4 modules related to treating the fully edentulous patient with removable overdentures. It will focus on the use of a jaw relation recording device (or tracing device) which will give the clinician new accuracy in procurring centric relation. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The patient will generate a gothic arch tracing for us that will enhance our ability to be more accurate in our occlusal relationships. We will also illustrate the use of locator attachments: how they are chosen, and how their retentive capabilities are utilized. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will also show the use of strengthening metal frameworks for our denture bases, and how they add to the longevity of the denture base, and how it also allows us to produce a paletteless design in the maxillary overdenture. And, finally, we will illustrate the use of the pickup procedure intraorally, allowing us to pickup the locator attachment with a new material. Instead of using the older Methyl Methacrylates, it utilizes a lighter material that is cleaner, quicker, and more efficient. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This module will dovetale in from the previous module of the series to demonstrate how we can successfully provide implant overdentures for our patient clientele.</p>

Dr. Tidu Mankoo
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will present key concepts on how to achieve success and predictability in soft tissue outcomes. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">It will focus on biologic factors and the processes involved in what goes on around our implant restorations, and how we as practitioners can use this understanding of biology to compensate for the processes that occur around our restorations to achieve optimum, stable, enduring outcomes.</p>
Esthetic Fine Tuning in Complex Implant Cases
LOD-148-00
Dr. Egon Euwe
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will underline the importance of diagnostics. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">And based on the literature you will learn how best to place the implant and how to build up the soft tissue. Example cases involving a single tooth replacement, a partially edentulous patient, and a fully edentulous patient will be used. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This presentation will also discuss the importance of provisionals: how to shape the tissue and how to transfer the final configuration to the lab technician where the final restoration will be made with metal-free CAD/CAM technology.</p>
Conservative Rehabilitation of Abrasion & Erosion Cases
LOD-147-00
Dr. Didier Dietschi
This Lecture will review the use of direct and indirect adhesive techniques to solve complex cases involving abrasion and erosion. It will focus specifically on the use of composites. Timely use of composites is crucial, and waiting until the problem becomes too severe will often cause crown and other extensive preparations to be necessary.
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.
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!
