Description

Various techniques of hard and soft tissue grafting will be presented, highlighting the importance of creating favourable peri implant environment that leads to predictable and long term outcomes. Soft tissue manipulation with the help of modified temporary restorations renders superb results, mimicking the nature.

Objectives

• Guidelines for successful implant based restoration
• Importance of hard and soft tissue development
• Importance of properly designed final restorations ensure functionally and esthetically ideal aftermath.

Course Description

Maxillary transverse deficiency is a common problem in orthodontics. It could be skeletal and/or dental origin and is often manifested by unilateral or bilateral posterior cross bite. Clinically, the skeletal width of maxilla and mandible, the intermolar width and the buccolingual inclination of maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth (curve of Wilson) are the key factors on the diagnosis of transverse problems. In this lecture, the transverse growth of maxilla and mandible, and the transverse development of the dentitions will be discussed. In the treatment of transverse problems, rapid palatal expansion (RPE) is often used in children, and TADs supported RPE in young adult. However, for older adults, the surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion would be a better choice not only to expand the maxilla successfully but also provide good stability. In this lecture, the state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment modalities on the transverse problems will be presented.

Educational Objectives

Participants will learn:

• Normal transverse growth of maxilla and mandible
• Diagnosis of transverse problems
• Treatment of transverse problems in children
• Treatment of transverse problems in adults

Course Description

This lecture will cover from basic principles of chairside of CAD/CAM workflow, to material selection and advanced esthetic solutions. The main purpose is to demonstrate how the clinician can control the entire digital workflow from preparation imaging to digital design and in-office customization of ceramic restorations.

Learning Objectives

• Learn the principles of CAD/CAM workflow
• Understand chairside material choices for same-day ceramic restorations
• Appreciate how advanced CAD/CAM applications and chairside customization can solve challenging esthetic cases

Dr. Gisele Neiva graduated from The Federal University of Paraná School of Dentistry (Brazil) in 1991. She has earned two master degrees: Master in Restorative Dentistry from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 1997 and Master in Clinical Research Design & Statistical Analysis from The University of Michigan School of Public Health OJ/OC Program in 2005.

Dr. Neiva has been involved in clinical and laboratory research for over 20 years. Her initial work focused on laboratory materials testing studies of composite resins, resin cements and dental ceramics resulting in a number of publications in peer- reviewed journals. For the last seven years, she has been collaborating on several large randomized clinical trials of CAD/CAM and digital dentistry technology applied to restorative dentistry. Currently underway clinical research projects include randomized longitudinal studies of chair-side CAD/CAM generated ceramic onlays and crowns with novel ceramic materials and adhesive cements. She is prospectively following up restorations that were previously placed in three different projects and documenting data following USPHS criteria. Dr. Neiva is also studying in vitro surface roughness of chairside CAD/CAM restorations of various materials.

Course Description

Successful and consistent ridge augmentation remains a challenge in the area of implant dentistry. While a variety of techniques and materials are available, those entities that do not require harvesting autogenous tissue have obvious, potential, advantages. This presentation reviews the history and evolution of block allografts to prepare sites for ultimate implant placement. A variety of cases are presented to illustrate this point. Potential complications are also presented.

Learning Objectives

• Understand basic bone biology
• Understand the evolution of tissue banking and the development of block allografts
• Understand the potential advantages, disadvantages, and indications of using block allografts for ridge augmentation
