Seminar Description:

This presentation will cover concepts that will enable clinicians to understand state-of-the art tools for diagnosis, and treatment planning to achieve true restoratively driven implant dentistry. The use of true 3-D image reconstructions allows clinicians to virtually assess bone anatomy in all views interactively. The Triangle of BoneTM concept provides important decision-making tools, and illustrates how to correctly define available anatomy as an aid in locating implant and/or bone graft receptor sites. Use of virtual interactive prosthetic components will also be demonstrated to achieve successful immediate or delayed loading applications which will maintain soft tissue morphology, long term function, and esthetics.

Every year, new materials and techniques surface that challenge the way we treat our patients and the outcomes that we can achieve. The new catch words in dental practice today are "Evidence Based Dentistry". We want to insure that the results we strive for will routinely leads to a predictable result based on scientific research. In one word, we are talking about "Change". Diagnostic and therapeutic treatments appear to be in a constant state of flux.

Implant dentistry affects every discipline of Dentistry. We don't try to salvage teeth with a poor prognosis any more. Whether we are discussing anchorage benefits in Orthodontics, bone augmentation advancements in Surgery or the newest devise to achieve better aesthetics and function in Prosthodontics, we see "Change" in every aspect of our practices.

"All Ceramic" restorations, zirconium milled products featuring CAD\CAM technology and many other treatment modalities improve the aesthetic results we achieve. We definitely do dentistry different today and it's "Change" that keeps our juices flowing and our interest at the highest level.

Join us for this one day seminar that features case evaluations, panel discussions, treatment planning and a step-by-step approach to clinical treatment.

Seminar Description:

The loss of alveolar bone occurs when teeth are removed. It is the responsibility of the dental professional to diagnose the current and potential problems due to missing teeth. The family dentist is considered to be the Primary Dental Care Provider for dental patients. The primary care dentist should present the patient with various treatment modalities that restore and maintain the integrity of the natural arch for the replacement of the lost teeth. The result desired should support dental implants, dentures, or a fixed bridge for long-term function and esthetics for the patient. Questions to consider regarding treatment include: Should the procedure be a bone graft, soft tissue graft, a tissue regeneration procedure, or tissue augmentation procedure? What is the difference? Should the graft material be osteoinductive or osteoconductive? Should the material be an autograft, an allograft, a xenograft, alloplast or a J-Block? Should the material be mineralized or demineralized? Should a membrane be utilized? What determines the success of the procedure? Will the result support all prosthetic replacements? These questions and others regarding restoration and ridge preservation of the upper and lower arches and techniques will be answered in this presentation.

The purpose of this presentation is to provide evidence-based information to the Primary Dental Provider to evaluate grafting materials for periodontal, restorative, and implant dentistry based upon clinical, esthetic, functional, and histological results in humans.

LECTURE OBJECTIVES

To understand the biological mechanism of bone formation in grafting and tissue regeneration procedures.

To understand the difference of tissue grafting and tissue regeneration.

To identify the need for tissue regeneration.

To understand why tissue regeneration is needed.

To select the proper materials based upon the objective.

To determine the time and sequence for ridge preservation.

To defend the procedure clinically, functionally, and histologically.
