Course Description

Dr. Baratieri presents a critical view on Aesthetic Dentistry, based on the literature and 45 years of experience as a dental surgeon. The detailed use of composite resins on anterior teeth will be discussed, highlighting some of the key steps. Direct and semi-direct techniques will be detailed from the presentation of richly illustrated clinical cases so that everyone can achieve significant results. Important DETAILS of natural teeth, viewed from different and unusual angles, will be presented so that the professional can better understand, and thus reproduce them in their restorations

Learning Objectives

• Identify the fundamental details of the anterior teeth.
• Decide when not to restore anterior teeth.
• Choose between direct and indirect composite resins.
• Safely understand and choose the shade of natural teeth and match them with available composite resins

Course Description

The alveolar ridge requires a fair amount of bone volume for successful restoration over implants. Whether pre-operative or at second stage surgery, several surgical options have been suggested to restore the alveolar ridge volume. Priority should be given to simpler and less invasive procedures, involving less risk of complications and achievement of goals in a shorter period.
In this lecture, Dr. Fred Silva, Clinical Assistant Professor, Periodontist at Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, will share his clinical experience, and discuss techniques and materials used in less invasive procedures for restoration of volume, resulting in a functional and esthetically pleasing outcome.

Learning Objectives

• Knowledge of treating buccal bone loss
• Knowledge of lateral augmentation procedures
• Knowledge of less invasive procedures for volume restoration
• Knowledge of handling different clinical scenarios

Speaker

Dr. Fred Silva is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Periodontics at Texas A&M College of Dentistry.

Course Description

Gingival design and conditioning in the aesthetic zone.
Delivering a restorative work over implants and achieve a natural contour of the soft tissue requires handling and control of many steps during the surgical treatment.
Mastering bone reconstruction, implant placement, and soft tissue graft techniques sometimes are not enough…. We need also to control how to customize and modify the shape of the tissues previously grafted.
This lecture brings step by step techniques on how to perform controlled and precise modification of the “Pink” anatomy, giving shape to pontics, papillae and emergence profile, in order to obtain the gingival “frame” for our crowns.

Learning Objectives

• Learn the importance of the digital design on surgical cases on the aesthetic zone
• Impression for conditioned tissue

Speaker

Ricardo Kern, M.Sc., is firmly entrenched within the high aesthetic requirements of Brazilian dentistry, I am having focus my work on the demanding disciplines of soft tissue design and reconstruction. Vast experience in immediate implant placement with temporization, from single tooth to full arch rehabilitation. Have been invited to lecturing and to do training about the soft tissue (design, preservation and reconstruction) on several posgraduating courses as also congress and seminars from Latin America to overseas

Description

The Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR) is a surgical and prosthetic powerful technique established to broaden indications for immediate loading on individual compromised teeth. It is a technique that allows tissue losses with varied extensions in compromised sockets to be reconstructed in the same surgical session of implant placement and provisional crown installation, reducing the number of interventions and making esthetic aspects predictable. The main focus of the lecture is to present the IDR protocol, which advocates minimally invasive surgery and flapless procedures, and discuss about very challenging clinical cases in anterior zone in combination with severe bone loss and soft tissue damage, and its biological response. This is a new perspective to manage compromised sockets in a simplest and reproducible way.

Objectives

• Demonstrate improvement of the practitioner’s management of compromised fresh extraction sockets in the esthetic zone.
• Explain the step-by-step, indications, and advantages of de IDR concept.
• Describe how to obtain an autogenous bone graft from maxillary tuberosity in a easier way.
• Review management of the graft and complete reconstruction of the alveolar defects.
• Discuss on bone biology and IDR response.

Course Description

We will talk about veneers and their indications. All clinical cases are unique in themselves so that is why we will be showing different clinical cases and how to approach each one with an aesthetic view

Learning Objectives

The main goal of the lecture is to encourage students to realize that in Dentistry, there is not just a universal technique not perfect steps to follow when it comes to Aesthetic restorations. As dentist, we have the great power to change lives with the small fine details in restorative dentistry.

Course Description

Ever since N. Lang stated that as a profession we are witnessing a “Tsunami of Peri-implantitis” in 2005, we have been searching for answers. However, we also have failed to discover the necessary questions. What are the entities of Peri-Implant Mucocitis and Peri-Implantitis? How do these disease processes arise and are there precipitating factors? The greatest question is perhaps, how do we treat these effected implants in a predictable and approachable manner or does such a therapy actually exist?

A thorough discussion will develop a better understanding of these two disease entities, their similarities and differences. Additionally, risk factors and evidence supported findings related to this peri-implant disease entity will be identified. Contemporary therapies and their predictability for success will be deliberated upon.

Learning Objectives

• A review of the 2018 AAP Classification of Periodontitis and specifically Peri-Implant diseases
• Assess various risk factors associated with this disease entity/these disease entities.
• Describe multiple therapeutic modalities which have been proposed in the treatment of peri-implant diseases.
