Soft Tissue Grafting for Implant Complications in the Esthetic Zone (CHINESE LANGUAGE ONLY)

LOD-276-00

Dr. Paul Lin

Chinese

In this lecture, discover how to utilize Soft Tissue Grafting for correcting implant complications. Utilize 5 pink dilemmas to analyze the implant complications in the esthetic zone. Determine what the problem is: Is it a buccal concavity problem? Marginal recession? Papilla loss? Asymmetry? Or is it a color & texture problem? Utilize several soft tissue techniques: free gingival graft; connective tissue graft; modified roll technique; and modified VIP-CT technique. For the purposes of correction Dr. Lin breaks down implant complications into 7 categories. The steps for managing implant complications are similar to periodontal therapy. With proper case selection, patient selection, and procedure selection you will be able to achieve management of complications by soft tissue in a predictable way.

Severe Gingival Recession Treatment with Connective Tissue Grafts

LOD-274-00

Dr. Nelson Carranza

Gingival recessions are probably one of the most frustrating challenges that young surgeons and periodontists confront everyday. Gingival recessions <br /><br />are not all the same, and require different approaches, depending on their characteristics. In this lecture, Dr. Carranza will share with you the way <br /><br />to approach the treatment of severe gingival recession, with gingival connected tissue graphs. <br /><br />Throughout this lecture, he will explain technical aspects that hopefully will help you decide which technique suits you better. He will also present a <br /><br />short video with technical details about one of the techniques he will use when analyzing the double papilla graft technique.

Esthetics in a Diseased Periodontium - Tips & Tricks

LOD-263-00

Dr. Giorgio Tabanella

Periodontal tissue destruction related to periodontitis, trauma, biologic width violation, mucogingival deformities as well as iatrogenic dentistry may lead to multiple tooth loss. The rehabilitation of neighbouring teeth in aesthetically demanding areas when associated with advanced soft and hard tissue loss may represent a surgical and aesthetic clinical challenge.<br /><br />Preservation or creation of a soft tissue scaffold needed to create the illusion of a natural tooth is often difficult to achieve when the potential for tissue regeneration is reduced. Furthermore the placement of a dental implant in the aesthetic zone with neighbouring teeth with a damaged periodontium can be a real difficult task especially when there is no room for error: the diagnosis will lead clinicians to the correct way of treating patients.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 12/20/2014 | Expires: 12/20/2017</span>

Paradigm Shift: Soft Tissue Concept

LOD-245-00

Dr. Iñaki Gamborena

In this lecture presentation Dr Gamborena will discuss the Soft Tissue Concept and what it is about. We can face a lot of problems when we get to the surgical part. We can find ourselves with prosthetics and healing abutments that are way too big. Dr Gamborena will share information about a healing abutment that he has been working with for the last 6-8 years, and that has finally entered the market as of fall 2014. He will show how the abutment works and how you can improve the maximization of your space and be able to graft at the ridge with a totally different approach: Following the concept about what we do Today around implants, compensating the volume from bone, shifting into the soft tissue and being able to create prosthetically something beyond what you might be used to so far.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 9/2/2014 | Expires: 9/2/2017</span>

Implant placement in fresh extraction sockets. Key decision factors

LOD-193-00

Prof. Mariano Sanz

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 Soft Tissue Grafting for Esthetics in Thin Periodontium

LOD-191-00

Dr. Paul Lin

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.
