Treatment Planning and Prosthetic Procedures for Fixed Restorations on Multiple Implants
LOD-022-03
Dr. Sam Strong
Step by step procedures are shown in detail to fabrication implant supported fixed partial dentures or splint multiple implants together. Surgical template construction techniques, decision making rationale for splinting implants together or not, cement vs. screw retained preferences, cement selection, and retrieval of cement retained prostheses are illustrated in this program. Combination cases with implant and all ceramic esthetic restorations on natural teeth are also presented.
Treatment Planning and Prosthetic Procedures for Single Implant Crowns
LOD-022-02
Dr. Sam Strong
The single posterior implant crown can be the most productive, profitable, and complaint-free procedure in dentistry. Methods for surgical template construction, implant placement, and streamlined prosthetics are explained in this program. Application and advantages of the Nobel Easy Abutment and Snappy Abutment are shown in step by step protocol as well as the rationale for a fixture level impression to employ pre-machined titanium or Procera ceramic abutments.
How to successfully evaluate and present cases, including determining fees; A proven protocol
LOD-022-01
Dr. Sam Strong
This program reviews a succession of appointments to analyze cases for implant treatment. Beginning with the initial exam through diagnostic workup and case presentation, an organized method for evaluation is presented. Case presentation is a 'make it or break it' event requiring effective presentation skills and use of visual aids by the dentist or auxiliary team member. Various means of conveying this needed information are shown that will allow the patient to make an intelligent, informed decision about implant therapy and alternatives.

Dr. James Kohner
This course provides a maximum experience demonstrating the various principles and clinical procedures needed to understand Esthetic Crown Lengthening in all its variations. We cover indications, contraindications, and methods of managing surrounding bone.<br><br>Topics include: how to handle hard and soft tissues; proper surgical techniques; preservation of esthetics in the final tissue contours; and relocation of all structures that comprise the biologic width, namely: sulcus, junctional epithelium, connective tissue fibers, and bone.<br><br>The DVD program illustrates flap surgery, plus bone surgery designed to give a predictable result. It will give you information to consider doing some of these procedures yourself, or if you chose not to do so, you will have a better understanding of the procedures that you are requesting of a periodontal specialist.
Functional Crown Lengthening for More Predictable Restorative
LOD-020-01
Dr. James Kohner
This program provides a maximum experience covering the various principles and clinical procedures needed to perform crown lengthening in all its variations. We cover indications, contraindications, and methods of managing surrounding bone. Topics include: how to handle hard and soft tissues; proper surgical techniques; preservation of esthetics in the final tissue contours; and relocation of all structures that comprise the biologic width, namely: sulcus, junctional epithelium, connective tissue fibers, and bone. The program illustrates step by step methods for managing bone and soft tissue to allow for predictable impressions, and the avoiding of common restorative complications. Some typical complications include sore gums following crowns, sensitive teeth, plus crowns falling off or developing caries prematurely. Dentists who want to do some or most of their own crown extensions, or those who just want to know more about the subject, will be helped by this course. Crown extension is one of the most commonly required procedures in restorative dentistry, and is often under utilized.

Complications in Dentoalveolar Surgery
LOD-016-00
Dr. Earl Freymiller
Although the risks of complications associated with dentoalveolar surgery can oftentimes be greatly reduced, they cannot be completely eliminated. It is impossible to practice dentoalveolar surgery without experiencing the occasional complication. In the course of this lecture, the more common complications will be discussed in detail, as well as some less commonly encountered complications that have the potential for serious consequences. The lecture will specifically focus on ways to prevent or reduce the risk of various complications, how to recognize complications when they occur, and appropriate methods of treatment
Integration of Digital-Ceramic Restorations
LOD-010-00
Dr. Bernard Touati
The use of metal-free ceramic materials allows to achieve excellent esthetic results in the anterior and posterior area for crowns and veneers fabrication. Material selection with dental ceramist is fundamental in management of complex rehabilitation cases. Several clinical follow-up of ceramic and alumina and zirconia systems indicate the adequacy of these materials for anterior and posterior restorations. Clinical and technical suggestions for obtaining esthetic and durable results will be supplied
