Implants in the Anterior Region - Surgical Techniques for Ultimate Esthetics

LOD-203-00

Dr. Spyros Karatzas

58 min

The current advances in regenerative dentistry give us the ability to achieve a perfect harmony between hard and soft tissues around teeth, as well as the smile and the rest of the face. Periodontal plastic surgery in combination with implant placement can correct the mucogingival problems created from tooth loss, and reconstitute tissues in order to achieve a natural esthetic appearance of the soft tissues around restorations. We will describe the basic biologic principals that play a role in the wound healing and the appearance of the soft tissues around teeth and implants, and we will try to understand the factors that determine the predictability of the outcome.<BR><BR>Several surgical techniques that can improve the final esthetic outcome will be presented in detail. The timing of implant placement together with several augmentation procedures will also be evaluated to identify the predictability of each procedure.

Implant-Assisted Orthodontics: Moving Toward a Better Tomorrow

High End Implant Solutions for Patients with an Angle Class II Downhill Dentition

Dr. Egon Euwe

44 min

This lecture will discuss the treatment of a very difficult group of patients. Those patients presenting class II failing dentition

Advances in Post Extraction Single Tooth Implant Cases in the Esthetic Zone

LOD-198-00

Dr. Egon Euwe

54 min

We have all been in the situation where we must extract a tooth with a problem, and replace it with an implant.<BR>What is the most predictable protocol for dealing with these cases? We actually know now that it is a mistake to try to fill the extraction socket completely with the implant body.<BR><BR>So we have moved away from the implant size that would completely fill the extraction socket. And, now, instead, we leave space for the buccal bone. And, we must respect that space. Another important aspect is that the provisional is essential for shaping soft-tissue emergence. We have to do eveything we can to transfer this emergence to the final restorations. And, we have to know how to avoid collapse of the soft tissue envelope we have developed with this provisional. One of the treatment goals, beyond preservation of crestal bone, is also the shaping of the palatal area of the tooth. That should be done as accurately as the buccal portion.<BR><BR>Cement rentention is a real danger, and we should be aware of that. By copying the shape of the provisional that has been extensively tested in the mouth of the patient onto the final restoration we have full control of the soft tissue contour around the implant supported resotration that mimicks the root and the shape of the natural tooth.<BR><BR>So we really create the illusion of a natural tooth. Join Dr. Euwe as he discusse the advances in the field of post-extraction implant supported restorations.

Classification for Minimally Invasive Sinus Bone Grafting (Part 2 of 2)

LOD-195-00

Dr. Samuel Lee

25 min

Sinus bone grafting can be intimidating for many clinicians as well as for our patients. In this lecture, we will discuss some common complications that can arise from sinus bone grafting as well as how to manage and avoid complications. Four classifications of sinus morphology will be presented along with guidelines for avoiding morbidity while performing a sinus lift.<BR><BR>A step-by-step demonstration of the Crestal Window technique will be shown along with a narration of the entire process. A demonstration of the lateral window technique will also be shown where the sinus wall opening is made within 3 seconds using a specialized instrument.<BR><BR>Furthermore, the same membrane that is lifted can be placed back into the original location. In this lecture, we will also discuss short and wide implants and when is best to utilize them.

Implant placement in fresh extraction sockets. Key decision factors

LOD-193-00

Prof. Mariano Sanz

50 min

It is well established that tooth extraction will result in an apico-coronal as well as bucco-lingual reduction of the alveolar ridge, mostly in the buccal aspects of the extraction site.<BR><BR>In order to avoid this physiological bone loss some clinicians have advocated the immediate installation of implants in fresh extraction sockets. Different clinical studies have evaluated the impact of this implant placement surgical approach on different outcomes, such as: implant survival, bone crest alterations and aesthetic results.<BR><BR>However, in spite of these reports, there is a lack of well-designed clinical trials that have evaluated these outcomes systematically and there is a lack of knowledge on the possible factors associated with different hard and soft tissue outcomes of this surgical protocol.<BR><BR>This presentation will review the results from clinical trials evaluating the immediate implant placement approach and we hall review the important risk factors (implant design, implant position, implant location, thickness of bony walls, etc.) involved in the clinical outcome.<BR><BR>Finally we shall provide some clinical recommendations on the use of this surgical approach.

Predictable and Successful Maxillary Sinus Augmentation

LOD-192-00

Dr. Toshiro Sugai

35 min

In this presentation, we will identify safer and more predictable maxillary sinus augmentation procedures. We will discuss how to utilize CT imaging to evaluate and interpret the 3D anatomy of the sinus, including ostium, superior alveolar artery, and septa. Dr. Sugai will describe how to predictably lift the sinus membrane and avoid complications.

Predictable Soft Tissue Grafting for Esthetics in Thin Periodontium

LOD-191-00

Dr. Paul Lin

57 min

This presentation will discuss the thin periodontium and how to utilize this to achieve predictable soft tissue grafting for esthetics.<br /><br />Soft tissue grafting by root coverage and augmentation can improve the facial esthetics not just for natural teeth, but also for implants.<br /><br />By utilizing the same concept of placing the soft tissue on the thin periodontium we can help augment the tissue around implants and dentures and improve and enhance the facial esthetics.<br /><br />Animations will illustrate this concept and provide insight as to how we take the soft tissue away from the pallate and harvest it in an elegant, more predictable fashion.<br /><br />This will also show how to secure the covering flap so the patient will not experience any pain after the surgery.<br /><br />This presentation is intended to increase your understanding, comfort and confidence in performing soft tissue grafting in a more predictable way.
