Patient Options for the Edentulous Maxilla

LOD-271-00

Dr. Yvan Fortin

In this lecture, Dr. Yvan Fortin will discuss the Fully Edentulous Maxilla. He will focus on solutions without bone grafting and without restorative compromise. He will discuss different surgical tools such as short implants, tilted implants, and zygomatic implants. He will also discuss various prosthetic options: a fixed bridge with natural papillae, a fixed bridge replacing soft tissue deficiency including papillae, and a fixed-detachable bridge managing lip support with flange. Dr. Fortin will discuss 'molar-to-malar alignment' with zygomatic implants. It is a unique approach that is minimally invasive, predictable, and provides excellent stability with just a regular flap, and produces impressive results.<br /><br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 1/29/2015 | Expires: 1/29/2018</span>

Full Mouth Rehabilitation (Part 2 of 2) - Esthetic & Function

LOD-265-00

Dr. Francesco Mintrone

English

In this second part of his two part Lecture Series on Full Mouth Rehabilitation, Dr Francesco Mintrone will discuss the details of planning cases with specific emphasis on aspects of esthetics and function. He will begin with cases involving implants and natural teeth and will end up with a case where he will have to perform a full mouth rehabilitation.<br><br><a href="http://gidedental.com/ShopItem.aspx?idProduto=1178">click here</a> for more info on Part 1.<br /><br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 1/5/2015 | Expires: 1/5/2018</span>

Flapless Surgery for Implant Placement

LOD-264-00

In this lecture Dr William Becker will demonstrate how with implant placement experience you can easily transition into minimally invasive flapless procedures. Utilizing a simple protocol for diagnosis and treatment planning (like one would do for any other patient) and a precision drill you can achieve an osteotomy with no bleeding, and no post-operative pain. With real cases he will walk you through step-by-step.<br /><br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 1/14/2015 | Expires: 1/14/2018</span>

Esthetics in a Diseased Periodontium - Tips & Tricks

LOD-263-00

Dr. Giorgio Tabanella

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

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

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

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

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>
