Restoration of Failing Teeth with Implants in the Aesthetic Zone - Surgical and Prosthetic Keys to Success - Part 2

LOD-216-00

Dr. Tidu Mankoo

30 min

The purpose of this two part series on "Restoration of 'Failing Teeth' with Implants in the Aesthetic Zone" is to help you predictably achieve highly esthetic outcomes that restore function and stand the test of time. This lecture will present the sound biological principles that can help you approach the treatment of challenging cases where your patient has a seriously compromised dentition. Surgical and prosthetic considerations will be discussed. Is the tooth maintainable? Is it more predictable to maintain the compromised tooth or extract and place an implant? We should always try to save the tooth if possible, but determining this requires analysis of the patient: How old is the patient? What is the tooth's dental history? What is the structural integrity of the tooth? What is the periodontal status? What are the functional demands? This lecture will present and discuss the key elements that we must consider when thinking about implants in the esthetic zone.

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.

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

A New Common Sense Approach to Full Mouth Rehabilitation Using Direct Composite and Limited Implants

LOD-185-00

Dr. Jose Luis Ruiz

55 min

<div style="text-align: justify;">All of us have patients who have destroyed their teeth usually due to occlusal disease...patients who have missing teeth.  And, unfortunately, many of these patients do not have the funds to pay for a full mouth rehabilitation.  And, even if they did, we do not believe that the full-mouth rehabilitations are ideal anymore.<br /> <br /> We see journal articles showing patients who have virgin teeth, and in the end they are treated with a full mouth of crowns.  We know from experience in our practices that these patients do not do very well: The margins below the gums cause our patients to have unhealthy gums; and, then when they have caries below the gums, trying to treat this becomes a nightmare.  That is why using minimally based super-gingival dentistry is the best for our patients.  We do not have to grind the teeth.  We can use new adhesive dentistry.  And we can give our patients excellent results without having to destroy their natural teeth.<br /> <br /> We will examine cases where patients who might have traditionally been treated with full-mouth rehabilitation, are instead treated with bonded dentistry.  In one case we will use direct composites and some indirect composites and almost no grinding on the natural teeth.  Meanwhile, we are able to provide the patients with the esthetics and the function that the patient needs.<br /> <br /> We will discuss the seven signs and symptoms of occlusal disease which is a very practical way to learn how to diagnose occlusal disease on your patients.<br /> <br /> We will talk about smile design using the Dento-Facial Esthetic Diagnosis System.<br /> <br /> We will also cover the 3 Golden Rules of Occlusion which are the engineering principles that we need for durability.</div>
