Risks Endangering Bone Stability Around an Implant

LOD-208-00

Dr. Georg-H. Nentwig

79 min

The risks that endanger bone stability around an implant can be related to trauma, loading, anatomy, implant, reconstruction, or the patient. This lecture will provide hints and scientific background about each one of these aspects so that you can manage and even avoid these risks.<BR><BR>Bone stability is the key for long-term success of an implant. But, there are two areas that must be identified in maintaining this stability. We will emphasize the importance of the implant abutment area where the bone is adjacent to the soft tissue. This bone is critical for supporting the soft tissue and for ensuring the health of the soft tissue and avoiding bacterial contamination.<BR><BR>This lecture will show you what you can do to improve a weak bone to avoid an early functional mistake or failure of the total reconstruction. We figured out that we can add, after the static phase, after the second stage surgery, after the load has started, a bone training phase that can improve the original weak structures so much that you can rely on it's stability even if you apply a more risky restoration.<BR><BR>We will discuss how to avoid esthetic failues, an unpleasent situation for both the patient and the dentist, that are often due to lack of bone right from the beginning.<BR><BR>Finally we will discuss the option to place an implant in a sub-crestal position which is only possible if you use an implant that has a stable cone connection. The cone connection will avoid any bacterial release, and will therefore avoide any bone loss in the cervical region caused by this bacteria contamination. With this concept we can achieve long lasting esthetic results.

Dental Photography - Level 1

LOD-205-00

Dr. Todd Schoenbaum

40 min

This program provides an overview of the basics of efficient, effective dental photography. Guidelines will be given for equipment selection, appropriate clinical techniques, and camera settings.<BR><BR>Also included are the basics of dental shade photography, use of contrastors, and patient communication. The goal of this program is provide an efficient framework for the beginning dental photographer to select and use their equipment accurately and efficiently.

Unusual TMD Cases - Unusual Treatment

LOD-196-00

Dr. Ilia Roussou

33 min

In this lecture, we will discuss unusual Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) cases and unusual treatments.<BR><BR>We will focus specifically on occlusion and how the relationship of the dental arches interacts with the stability of the Stomatognathic system.<BR><BR>Occlusion is one of the most demanding aspects of dentistry, we all know about the term occlusion confusion.<BR><BR>Although occlusion used to be the main etiological factor for Temporomandibular Disorders and many dental treatments were performed in order to address the pain symptoms, nowadays the literature suggest that the static relationship of the dental arches is rarely the etiological factor for an intracapsular TM joint disorders or a masticatory muscles disorders, In some cases though, were the occlusion compromises the orthopedic stability of the stomatognathic system, once the pain symptoms are treated the dental problem needs to be investigated as a possible etiological factor of the TMD symptoms.

Predictable and Successful Maxillary Sinus Augmentation

LOD-192-00

Dr. Toshiro Sugai

35 min

In this presentation, we will identify safer and more predictable maxillary sinus augmentation procedures. We will discuss how to utilize CT imaging to evaluate and interpret the 3D anatomy of the sinus, including ostium, superior alveolar artery, and septa. Dr. Sugai will describe how to predictably lift the sinus membrane and avoid complications.

The 3D Click Guide - A New Direction for Model-Based Guided Implant Placement

LOD-187-00

Dr. Lambert Stumpel

55 min

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Guided surgery holds the promise to place dental implants in predetermined positions; allowing many clinical decisions to be made before the actual surgical procedure.   <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Computer guided surgery has been made possible through the increased accessibility of (CB) CT technology.  It allows clinicians who do not have the experience of placing 1000+ implants per year, to deliver, in selected cases, the same superior care as the master surgeons.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Model based guided surgery has historically been in the shadow of its high tech cousin; until now. The 3 D Click Guide is a modularly adjustable surgical guide system.  While primarily a model based system, utilizing minimally invasive bone sounding, it allows easy integration with CBCT as needed.  It
