Aesthetic Treatment Planning - The Smile Design
LOD-174-00
Dr. Saiesha Mistry
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Comprehensive treatment planning is essential for the satisfactory outcome of any case. Contemporary treatments are not considered successful unless the final outcome is not only functional but also aesthetic. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">As a result an Aesthetic Analysis has become integral to every treatment plan.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will lay down a systematic approach for an aesthetic examination and the subsequent analysis of the collated information so as to predictably design and execute the most aesthetic treatments for our patients. </p>
Soft Tissue Esthetics & Health - 10 Key Factors in Soft Tissue Management
LOD-173-00
Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">There are 10 key criteria that are important in implant therapy to achieve optimal soft tissue outcomes. The criteria are divided into 2 areas. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The first area involves the biomaterial elements in therapy, while the second involves procedural issues. The biomaterial elements of implant surface, the implant neck, abutment material, the sub gingival abutment design, and abutment reconnection will be discussed. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The procedural elements covered are implant spacing, implant vertical positioning, bone and soft grafting and provisional management. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This presentation will focus on the 10 key criteria as applied in implant therapy for selected patients. </p>
LOD-172-00
Dr. Istvan Urban
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Over the last 10 years Dr. Urban has been able to phase out autogenous bone grafts from his clinical practice.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">In this presentation he will demonstrate the steps he has taken to achieve this. He will discuss the kind of bone regeneration that was first used; how this has developed over the years; and what is possible today. He will discuss the small defects such as fenestration and dehiscences; what kind of bone graft to apply; how to apply it; what kind of membrane to choose; and how to stabilize the membrane. All Followed by a review of the results.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">For horizontal ridge augmentation, he will show how to achieve success utilizing the sausage technique, which was developed by him. He will demonstrate how it is less invasive, simplified, and (as documented in the literature) less morbidity. <br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">He will discuss how the sausage technique was developed; what are the steps for implementation; what are the principles behind it; and what kind of results you can expect when properly applied.</p>

The 7 essential keys to success in Aesthetic Implant Restorations
LOD-167-00
Dr. Christopher Ho
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will discuss the 7 essential keys to success in Aesthetic Implant Restorations:</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">1) Implant position, including bucco-lingual, apico-coronal and mesio-distal. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">2) Abutment design, including shape and form, how we want our implants to be more negative, especially in the mid-labial to maximize tissue thickness. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">3) Provisionalisation: how to develop provisionals using different types from cement-on to screw-retained, and how we modify that for our soft tissue aesthetics while using a restoratively based technique. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">4) Impression technique: how do we transfer the information from our provisional crown to our final impression. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">5) abutment selection: we will discuss different abutment materials from gold, to titanium, to zirconia, and how do we determine which to use based on biocompatibility, aesthetics, cost, and strength. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">6) Ceramics: the materials we choose to go on top of our implants and natural teeth, and how we decide which one to use for which case. </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">7) implant papilla: how do we get good soft tissue aesthetics both for single teeth and cases where there are adjacent implants.</p>

LOD-158-00
Dr. Sam Strong
<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">This lecture will explore a mechanism for converting an existing conventional denture to an implant retained overdenture and also how to use implants with removable partial dentures.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will look at trimming out the existing conventional denture and picking up locator attachments so that they are incorporated into the original denture base, giving the patient a spare overdenture.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">We will also look at the use of small numbers of implants. For example: one on a lower arch case to retain a partial denture simply by one implant in which this case supposes an overdenture.</p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">And, finally we will look at an additional case: a bi-lateral extension case retained solely by two locater attachments.</p>
