The Profile Prosthesis

An Update on Case Identification, Treatment Planning and Restorative Technique

The Profile Bridge/All-on-4 – All-on-6 Concept

In 2009, we began our first educational seminars discussing this fixed restorative option for the edentulous and terminal dentition patient. In this seminar series we will share the highlights of the over 100 cases we have completed since we began teaching this technique. Since that time we have been able to improve and streamline the procedure making it a somewhat simple procedure even for those who have not previously done cases of
this type.

In this seminar series, we will review case identification, update you on the treatment planning of these cases, and offer assistance in presenting this treatment option to your patients as well as guidelines in how to assist your patients to accept this valuable treatment option. We will review the updated step-by-step restorative technique that we have created to allow you to take your patient from an immediate fixed temporary to the final restoration with a minimum of stress and maximum esthetic results.

Soft Tissue Grafting Around Teeth and Dental Implants

The Why, When and How of Periodontal Soft Tissue Grafting

Gingival recession is increasingly becoming a prominent condition in the oral health of many patients. Gingival recession results in attachment loss and root exposure, which can lead to clinical problems such as root surface hypersensitivity, root caries, difficult plaque control, and possible esthetic concerns. In patients with dental implants, gingival recession and the lack of keratinized tissue can also lead to peri-implantitis and bone loss.

Many questions arise when we are confronted with a patient with gingival recession, including why is this recession occurring, when and if it should be treated, and what options are available for treatment?

This seminar will address several key aspects of soft tissue grafting around both teeth and implants:

  • Causes of Gingival Recession
  • When to graft?
  • Treatment options
  • How much keratinized tissue do you need?
  • Factors influencing the degree of root coverage
  • What we can do and what we cannot do with soft tissue grafting

This lecture will be given on:
