The Implant Du JourNavigating your way through the marketing maze The world of dental implants is changing. Every month there are new techniques, new ideas, and new products that hit the market. With an increasing number of dental implant systems on the market and the growing pressures of today’s economic climate, how do we know what information is real and what is simply marketing hype? Implant quality has a direct impact on patient satisfaction, and can eventually factor into the cost of running a practice. In keeping up with the many changes happening in the field of implant dentistry, we will discuss five key areas that are shaping the industry as well as help guide you thorough the maze of products available. This seminar will be broken down into 3 primary topics:

Digital DentistryReady or not, the future is here Throughout the years, restorative and technological trends and techniques have come and gone. Some dental technology and dental material developments have transformed the face of esthetic dentistry, while others have already phased out and disappeared. Embracing alternative solutions and transforming traditional methods can be challenging as we all are facing increasing patient demands while being asked to deliver high strength restorative options at a reasonable cost without compromising esthetic outcomes. With the ever-changing face of this new era in digital dentistry, how do we know what technology and materials to incorporate into our practices? What is here to stay and when should we simply watch and wait? How do we communicate what we want to the lab we are working with? These questions and many more will be addressed. This seminar will be broken down into 3 primary topics:

2009/2010 Seminar Series

Orthopedic Approach To Fixed RestorationsFixed Implant Restoration of the Edentulous Maxilla and Mandible There is a large patient population that would like to replace their dentures with a fixed implant restoration. These patients may have perfectly functional and esthetic dentures; however, they are still just dentures. A patient’s desire for fixed restorative treatment stems from not only a functional standpoint, but also from personal psychological and self-image reasons as well. There is also a segment of the population that is still destined to lose their teeth. Although these patients have gone through the best periodontal, endodontic and restorative dentistry available to them, it will not prevent the eventual tooth loss in this subset of dental patients. Patients are more educated than ever before and are requesting fixed restorative care when they lose their teeth. There are many advancements for comprehensive care attracting patients away from offices that do not provide that care. We are a surgical practice well versed in helping restorative practices provide care to their patients who desire this type of dentistry. Breakthrough advances in research supporting immediate function of implants with fixed restorations have revolutionized this treatment concept. This seminar series will individually focus on the application of three principal designs for implant- supported dental prostheses. These three variations have been chosen based on their ability to restore a broad range of soft-tissue deficits. They are:

Spring 2010 Seminar

Orthopedic Approach To Fixed RestorationsMetal-Cermamic Restoration This is the last of our 3 part seminar series, and will focus on the Metal Ceramic Restoration. This seminar will again be offered on 5 separate dates to accommodate schedule conflicts. These are just some examples of cases completed by dentists who attended our previous seminar on the Profile Prosthesis Fixed Detachable Restoration. Each of these cases was restored by a different dentist who had never before completed a Profile Prosthesis Restoration. In this seminar, we are going to discuss treatment and temporization of both single tooth and full arch fixed cases. This seminar will include both a treatment planning discussion, as well as a hands-on temporization workshop. Our experience has shown that after exposure to our detailed programs, dentists become more involved and treatment plan more comprehensively, with greater confidence. This, we believe, has lead to greater case acceptance by patients. |

Orthopedic Approach To Fixed RestorationsMarius Bridge Restoration The second of this 3 part seminar series will focus on the Marius Bridge restoration. This seminar will be offered on 5 separate dates to accommodate schedule conflicts. The 3rd part of this series will be given through the Spring of 2010. The Marius Bridge is a fixed appliance with a unique, high precision mechanism that allows patients to remove it themselves for easier access for cleaning or for repairs and/or modifications. This course is part of a continuum on the orthopedic approach to fixed restorative care. It will be a comprehensive discussion of all aspects of patient care; from diagnosis and surgical therapy, to step by step details of the restorative and laboratory phase of treatment. |

Orthopedic Approach To Fixed RestorationsProfile Prosthesis The first of this 3 part seminar series will focus on the Profile Prosthesis restoration. This seminar will be offered on 5 separate dates to accommodate schedule conflicts. The 2nd and 3rd parts of this series will be given through the Fall and Spring of 2009/2010. The Profile Prosthesis is a fixed detachable bridge which uses a framework design with subgingival abutment emergence.It is an approach that makes it possible to treat the fully edentulous patient who may have insufficient lip support, and severe bone loss resulting from the extraction of teeth in previous years. The Profile Prosthesis is indicated for most patients who wear or who will have to wear complete dentures. This will be a comprehensive discussion of all aspects of patient care; from diagnosis and surgical therapy, to step by step details of the restorative and laboratory phase of treatment. |
