Clinical Pharmacology - What Every Dentist Should Know
LOD-072-00
Dr. Anthony Feck
Modern dentistry has expanded the arsenal of services to restore patients oral health and cosmetic needs like never before. These changes have corresponded to an increasingly complex medical environment where patients are presenting at a more advanced age, with more medical conditions, and taking more medications. Understanding the pharmacology as it relates to their systems and how the drugs they are taking, as well as those we intend to administer affect the patient, one another, and our planned treatment is necessary for a safe and successful outcome to our planned care.

Overview of current concepts relating to immediate implant placement and immediate loading of dental implants for single tooth, partially edentulous and fully edentulous cases.
Tissue Engineering for Hard and Soft Tissue Regeneration - Clinical and Applied Results
LOD-064-00
Dr. E. Todd Scheyer
The promising field of periodontal tissue engineering, barely a decade old, is likely to revolutionize Periodontics. Cell based man-made skin, the first commercial product of tissue engineering, is already on the market and other variations will soon join it. Recombinant technology has provided us the first fully synthetic powerful growth factor available in periodontics with r-PDGF-BB which has been critically evaluated in all areas of periodontal research. This course will provide an overview of biologically based and live cell based tissue substitutes. Results from human and animal studies using biomimetics and tissue engineering to facilitate root coverage and bone formation will be discussed and human histology will be reviewed. Expanded clinical applications of growth factor influenced wound healing in tissue regeneration will also be presented.

YSGG Laser Precision in Periodontal Plastic Surgery
LOD-059-00
Dr. Bobby Butler
Lasers have been used in dentistry for many years. Mostly they have been used with soft tissue procedures. Recently the Er,Cr:YSGG laser has been shown to be safe and effective in osseous procedures. Many cosmetic dentists have been using lasers for esthetic crown lengthening procedures, but most of these cases are simple gingivectomies and not true crown lengthening procedures. Complications can occur without understanding the biologic width and different periodontal biotypes. This presentation will discuss current and future applications with the Er, Cr: YSGG laser with periodontal surgical procedures. The focus will be its use in closed and open esthetic crown lenghtening procedures. Discussion with case selection and osseous biotypes with be stressed. Other applications involving osseous augmentation procedures, harvesting osseous blocks, ridge splitting and lateral sinus wall procedures, will also be briefly discussed.
Treatment of the edentulous maxilla with immediate function (SPANISH LANGUAGE ONLY)
LOD-057-00
Dr. Joan Pi Urgell
Uno de los temas de mayor actualidad en Implantologia Oral es la posibilidad de someter a funcion oclusal,de una forma inmediata los implantes,evitando el tiempo de espera correspondiente a la Oseointegracion En el Maxilar Inferior se han obtenido unos resultados excelentes,con extensa bibliografia que evidencian un alto grado de predictibilidad. Los mismos resultados se pueden obtener en el Maxilar Superior siguiendo unos protocolos perfectamente definidos. El objetivo de esta presentacion es la descripcion de las bases cientificas para la funcion inmediata,su aplicacion clinica y las distintas alternativas o protocolos para el tratamiento del maxilar superior,analizando los factores mas importantes y los resultados obtenidos.
