Staff Training Systems for the Front Office - Responsibilities for Each Team Member
LOD-023-01
Dr. Sam Strong
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.

Soft Tissue Behaviour And Integration Around Dental Implants <br>
LOD-021-00
Dr. Peter Schupbach
The scientific evidence on the biomaterial surface TiUniteTM will be given and compared to other implant surfaces. Several studies confirm and support the clinical benefits of the conductive properties of TiUniteTM, allowing bone and soft tissue to adhere along the implant surface and into the pores of the surface. This results in faster osseointegration and higher biological stability, thus minimizing time at risk for effective and safe Immediate FunctionTM. The clinical implications of TiUnite as Immdiate FunctionTM, reduced marginal bone loss, soft tissue integration and predictable esthetics will be discussed. In addition the scientific evidence of micro grooves along the threads and around the implant shoulder will be given. The introduction of the Groovy technology provides yet another step in implant development. With this technology, the speed of osseointegration can be further increased. The biological stability is enhanced by up to 30% allowing the use of groovy implants in soft bone.
Esthetic Periodontal Surgery to Enhance Restorative Results
LOD-020-02
Dr. James Kohner
This course provides a maximum experience demonstrating the various principles and clinical procedures needed to understand Esthetic Crown Lengthening in all its variations. We cover indications, contraindications, and methods of managing surrounding bone.<br><br>Topics include: how to handle hard and soft tissues; proper surgical techniques; preservation of esthetics in the final tissue contours; and relocation of all structures that comprise the biologic width, namely: sulcus, junctional epithelium, connective tissue fibers, and bone.<br><br>The DVD program illustrates flap surgery, plus bone surgery designed to give a predictable result. It will give you information to consider doing some of these procedures yourself, or if you chose not to do so, you will have a better understanding of the procedures that you are requesting of a periodontal specialist.
Functional Crown Lengthening for More Predictable Restorative
LOD-020-01
Dr. James Kohner
This program provides a maximum experience covering the various principles and clinical procedures needed to perform crown lengthening in all its variations. We cover indications, contraindications, and methods of managing surrounding bone. Topics include: how to handle hard and soft tissues; proper surgical techniques; preservation of esthetics in the final tissue contours; and relocation of all structures that comprise the biologic width, namely: sulcus, junctional epithelium, connective tissue fibers, and bone. The program illustrates step by step methods for managing bone and soft tissue to allow for predictable impressions, and the avoiding of common restorative complications. Some typical complications include sore gums following crowns, sensitive teeth, plus crowns falling off or developing caries prematurely. Dentists who want to do some or most of their own crown extensions, or those who just want to know more about the subject, will be helped by this course. Crown extension is one of the most commonly required procedures in restorative dentistry, and is often under utilized.
Biological Data for Bone Integration
LOD-018-00
Dr. Peter Schupbach
The scientific evidence on the biomaterial surface TiUniteTM will be given and compared to other implant surfaces. Several studies confirm and support the clinical benefits of the remarkable osseoconductive properties of TiUniteTM, allowing bone to grow along the implant surface and into the pores of the surface. This results in faster osseointegration and higher biological stability, thus minimizing time at risk for effective and safe Immediate FunctionTM. The clinical implications of TiUnite as Immdiate FunctionTM, reduced marginal bone loss, soft tissue integration and predictable esthetics will be discussed. In addition the scientific evidence of micro grooves along the threads and around the implant shoulder will be given. The introduction of the Groovy technology provides yet another step in implant development. With this technology, the speed of osseointegration can be further increased. The biological stability is enhanced by up to 30% allowing the use of groovy implants in soft bone.
