Dr. Costin Marinescu

55 min

We want to achieve long-lasting results for our patients in treatments that are perfectly tolerated by the body, restore good health, and look beautiful. This presentation will outline the logical flow-chart that Dr. Marinescu utilizes every day in his own practice (Exam >> Diagnosis >> Treatment >> Maintenance) and the interconnection of each individual step with each other. The Stomatognathic System (the ensemble of bones, muscles, joints, teeth and supporting structures) has two states: Pathological and Physiological. How these two conditions influence each other will be discussed, and how important it is for us to find the threshold between the two. This presentation will also look at occlusion concepts: how teeth come in contact, and the pathways through which they are moving in performing everyday functions like chewing, and how to design our restorations so we can achieve beautiful results but that are functionally tolerated and perfectly integrated with our patients" health. A history of occlusion concepts will be presented that will cover all the way through to the latest research that are empowering us more and more to offer our patients minimally invasive restorative dentistry that will balance their Stomatognathic System and that will offer a predictability for long term. Offer your patients the most conservative treatments with the minimum impact and the stability of the Stomatognathic System with a long term impact in quality of life...and a beautiful esthetic result.

Restorative Excellence - Occlusion on Implant Retained Restorations

LOD-176-00

Dr. Stefan Paul

48 min

In this in-depth presentation regarding Occlusion on Implant Retained Restorations, we will examine several cases. We will look at a case that is all to common where right after final delivery, major chipping takes place. Sometimes we receive an emergency case where perhaps a patient has a bicycle accident. What do we do? Do we place an implant? Do we deliver an immediately fixed temporary restoration? And what occlusion are we going to give in order not to interfere and cause loosening of the implant and losing osseointegration? What about an even more demanding clinical situation, such as a missing canine where the plan is to place an implant and deliver an immediate temporary restoration? What occlusal concept are we going to utilize to prevent interference with good bone healing? To make it even more demanding we will look at a case where there is an interior gap, canine to canine, where, again implant placement is the plan. How are we going to design our occlusal schematic so that the patient is not going to clench on these teeth at night, and possibly punch out our implants? And, finally, we will examine a very challenging case where we have a maxillary and mandibular full-arch restoration, and incorporate an occlusal concept of a mixed dentition with implants on natural teeth (vs implants on implants).

Stem Cells: Science and Surgical Application

LOD-175-00

Dr. Bradley McAllister

65 min

This presentation will examine the biology of stem cells and show you how you can improve your surgical cases by utilizing stem cells. This is part of a new movement in molecular and cellular enhancement of bone regeneration surgery. Learn how to achieve improved healing in your cases. Many examples are demonstrated. One involving titanium mesh and a cellular allograft: 4 months later a significant amount of bone is regenerated for placing dental implants.

Aesthetic Treatment Planning - The Smile Design

LOD-174-00

Dr. Saiesha Mistry

67 min

Comprehensive treatment planning is essential for the satisfactory outcome of any case. Contemporary treatments are not considered successful unless the final outcome is not only functional but also aesthetic. As a result an Aesthetic Analysis has become integral to every treatment plan. This lecture will lay down a systematic approach for an aesthetic examination and the subsequent analysis of the collated information so as to predictably design and execute the most aesthetic treatments for our patients.

Soft Tissue Esthetics & Health - 10 Key Factors in Soft Tissue Management

LOD-173-00

Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic

62 min

There are 10 key criteria that are important in implant therapy to achieve optimal soft tissue outcomes. The criteria are divided into 2 areas. The first area involves the biomaterial elements in therapy, while the second involves procedural issues. The biomaterial elements of implant surface, the implant neck, abutment material, the sub gingival abutment design, and abutment reconnection will be discussed. The procedural elements covered are implant spacing, implant vertical positioning, bone and soft grafting and provisional management. This presentation will focus on the 10 key criteria as applied in implant therapy for selected patients.

Which Ceramic Should I Use ? A Clinical Perspective - Part 3

LOD-171-00

Dr. Anas Aloum

40 min

This presentation aims to lift the large cloud of confusion that surrounds contemporary dental ceramics and their application. A systematic solution will be provided for common clinical situations. A complete range of common clinical situations will be discussed. This includes, important sequencing and design consideration for restoring implants adjacent to ceramic restorations. The following questions will be addressed: - How do we achieve longevity while maintaining a high level of aesthetics? - Why, when and where should each contemporary ceramic material be used? - What role do soft tissues play in ceramic material selection? Participation in this presentation will allow delegates to be able to communicate more effectively with dental technicians. They will also be able to use dental ceramics predictably with dental implants. In part 3: Will look at stronger ceramic restorations and how to use them appropriately to be able to get the best out of them in terms of esthetics and function. The materials covered in this section will include Zirconia crowns, and porcelain fused to metal crowns. The presentation will also look at proper framework design in order to optimize esthetics and function predictably for our patients.

The 7 essential keys to success in Aesthetic Implant Restorations

LOD-167-00

Dr. Christopher Ho

67 min

This lecture will discuss the 7 essential keys to success in Aesthetic Implant Restorations: 1) Implant position, including bucco-lingual, apico-coronal and mesio-distal. 2) Abutment design, including shape and form, how we want our implants to be more negative, especially in the mid-labial to maximize tissue thickness. 3) Provisionalisation: how to develop provisionals using different types from cement-on to screw-retained, and how we modify that for our soft tissue aesthetics while using a restoratively based technique. 4) Impression technique: how do we transfer the information from our provisional crown to our final impression. 5) abutment selection: we will discuss different abutment materials from gold, to titanium, to zirconia, and how do we determine which to use based on biocompatibility, aesthetics, cost, and strength. 6) Ceramics: the materials we choose to go on top of our implants and natural teeth, and how we decide which one to use for which case. 7) implant papilla: how do we get good soft tissue aesthetics both for single teeth and cases where there are adjacent implants.

Fixed Hybrid Prosthesis utilizing Zirconia - New Materials and Protocols

LOD-165-00

Dr. Stefano Conti

31 min

This presentation will focus on a hybrid prosthesis, utilizing zirconia and the role of prosthetic gingiva in esthetic implant dentistry. We will see a pretty new treatment option that will give us the possibility to have complete control on the esthetic in a way that we have never been able to do before. Some the questions that we will answer in this presentation are: Why should we provide a hybrid prosthesis for our patients instead of a traditional one? Is this prosthetic option really predictable in achieving a natural esthetic for long term success? Which materials should we use Today, and why?
