Dr. Eric van Dooren
Perio-Prosthetic Considerations Around Dental Implants<br>This course will discuss surgical and restorative concepts, procedures and solutions to improve the soft tissue emergence profile of implant and pontic sites in single implant restorations and implant bridges. The restorative choice of implant design and abutment material will be discussed and particularly the evidence of using Zirconia abutments as stable base for soft tissue esthetics and long term implant results.<br><br>The concept of using a concave or flat preplanned abutment via the cad-cam route and via the prefabricated route will be discussed and the steps preventing removal of abutments during the restorative phase.<br><br>This course will teach the restorative dentist the new concepts of zirconia abutment materials, the concave or flat abutment design and the immediate or early placement of the final abutment.
Periodontal Plastic Surgery for Natural Teeth and Implants

Dr. Henry Takei
The last decades has witnessed tremendous emphasis on the esthetic aspect of dentistry. The gingival tissues which frames the dentition is an integral part of 'Dental Esthetics'. The clinician must have a good biologic and clinical understanding of both the teeth and gingival tissue in order to attain a healthy and esthetic result. Correcting gingival recession, root exposure, loss of papilla, which leads to poor gingival symmetry, is of major importance in achieving an esthetic outcome. In addition, the emphasis on implants in the esthetic zone requires sound surgical principles to achieve an optimal gingival emergence profile around an implant restoration.

This program reviews the essential components and appointments required to complete implant cases. Operatory room setup, materials, procedures, and implant component inventory are illustrated. Liaison with the front office and dental lab require a system by the assistant to keep cases on time and on track. Methods to liaison with the front office and dental lab are illustrated to help the assistant keep cases tracked and on time. Scripted responses to common patient comments about are illustrated that positively promote the use of implants.

How to communicate with the prospective implant patient from initial phone call through diagnostic appointments and to case presentation. A system for the front office that presents an organized, professional approach to the patient. Appointment control, financial arrangements, and inter-office communication between the surgical and restorative offices are also illustrated as keys to developing the implant practice.
Treatment Planning and Prosthetic Procedures for Removable Implant Overdentures
LOD-022-04
Dr. Sam Strong
Step by step procedures to successfully complete bar and attachment overdentures are illustrated and compared. Case cost analysis and fee determination are simplified using clinical examples. AND a revolutionary impression technique and centric bite registration procedure are illustrated that will simplify overdenture construction for the prosthetic zdentist.
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.
