Implant dentistry has been gaining popularity in everyday dentistry. Most general practitioners have been doing the restorative implant dentistry and referring patients out for surgery. However, there has been a paradigm shift where more general dentists are now being trained in surgical implant dentistry so that they are able to keep their patient within their practice and provide patients with great service under one roof. This hands-on workshop has been designed specifically for general dentists that wish to introduce implant dentistry into their practice. The workshop covers basic anatomy, implant design, surgical principles and biology pertaining to single tooth implant supported restorations. The hands-on workshop portion includes: surgical incision design, implant placement, tissue management and suturing.

Esthetics is a mirror reflecting our health. It is our responsibility to create the least amount of invasion possible to help our patients achieve their goals of esthetics and health. This begins with a vision of smile design that is then modulated by the functional idiosyncrasies of the individual patient. The advent of modern materials allows us to be more conservative than ever in creating durable, predictable and most of all, beautiful smiles for our patients.
Learn:
the foundational building blocks of smile design and the relationship to functional design
the material properties available today and their relationship to prep design
the single most important key in predictability: approved provisional restorations
While there are a lot of keys to success, there are a few keys to failure that many teams overlook that are silently eroding practice success. Regardless of practice type: solo, group, DSO, or specialty; you must navigate your team around these common traps. In this program discover: three Natural Laws for increasing your team case acceptance results every day; the one key proven to help dental teams produce more than scheduled; the four questions every member of the team must be able to answer for the practice to reach the highest levels of success; and the one document you must have in your practice to transform your culture and your practice’s success.

The general dentist is responsible for the total health of the patient’s mouth both restoratively as well as periodontally. Your practice should include periodontal treatment (scaling and root planning with local anesthesia) multiple times a day in addition to maintenance and restorative dentistry. Your dental hygienist can be responsible for the periodontal portion of your practice. Ultimately you will have healthier, happier patients and a happier more fulfilled staff. Not every tooth needs a graft; not every tooth needs an implant; but every patient needs a periodontal diagnosis and treatment plan.

The specialty of orthodontics has been bombarded with claims of superiority of specific orthodontic appliances, treatment strategies and extravagant claims of the detrimental effects of time honored orthodontic concepts. In the absence of evidence based data, the clinician is often left without predictable and reproducible treatment outcomes in private and institutional orthodontic practices. This seminar addresses a number of orthodontic issues and revisits debates that should have been settled a long time ago. Issues such as why and how Class II malocclusions are actually successfully resolved regardless of the specific “appliance du jour” and why extraction therapy needs to be part of every orthodontist’s treatment arsenal are discussed. In addition, the real urgency of early treatment (mixed dentition or sooner) is also described.

Medical emergencies occurring in the dental office can be stressful and frightening, not only for the patient, but also the entire dental team. This program is designed for dentists and staff to develop strategies to prevent, identify and respond to medical problems including syncope, allergic problems, cardiovascular abnormalities, diabetes and respiratory distress. Emphasis is placed on preparing the dental team in advance of a crisis to minimize its potential impact. Although dentists or staff benefit from attending individually, the greatest gain is achieved when the entire dental team attends together. By doing so, dental teams can develop a coordinated response to a patient’s problem.
Learn to:
establish the 6 areas in which all offices should prepare
determine the medications and equipment that is critical to have

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) encompass a multitude of conditions which involve the temporomandibular joints, muscles of mastication and/or contiguous structures. Many TMD diagnostic subgroups share common clinical characteristics. Diagnosis and management of TMD has been associated with many misconceptions and much debate. It is now recognized that multiple factors are involved with the initiation and/or perpetuation of TMD. Additionally, we now have a greater appreciation for the total pain experience including pain mechanisms/pathways and pain referral in the head and neck. The importance of individualizing diagnosis and management for optimum therapeutic outcomes is also discussed.
Learn:
diagnostic criteria for commonly occurring TMD subgroups
the etiologic considerations essential for case-specific management
to facilitate the development of a “case-specific” plan of care for each patient
Although implant dentistry is considered one of the most predictable treatments we offer, guaranteeing optimal anterior implant esthetics is tricky and often feels challenging to create predictably.

Manejo de Avulsión Dentaria La avulsión es el desplazamiento completo del diente de su alvéolo. En esta lesión se produce la ruptura del paquete vasculonervioso, de las fibras periodontales, y además se ocasionan lesiones en el cemento y en el hueso alveolar. Las causas más frecuentes son golpes, accidentes automovilísticos y deportes de contacto. Los tratamientos dependen de situaciones, como el grado de formación radicular, el tiempo extraoral y el medio de almacenamiento o transporte. Existen protocolos de manejo que se deben tener en cuenta para los dientes avulsionados.
Celia Ivette Gandarilla GonzÁlez, D.D.S.

Variantes genéticas asociadas a la reabsorción radicular externa Se han asociado varios factores a la reabsorción radicular externa durante el tratamiento de ortodoncia. Además de los factores locales como la cantidad de fuerza, intensidad y duración de las mismas, los factores genéticos juegan un papel muy importante en la reabsorción radicular externa. Se ha relacionado lque existen variantes genéticas que agravan el proceso de reabsorción radicular durante el tratamiento de ortodoncia. Una combinación diferente en los ácidos nucleicos en el ADN del paciente, hace que se presente un polimorfismo que puede estar asociado a la reabsorción radicular externa. Los pacientes que presentan cambios en la secuenciación de ADN, asociados a la interleucina IB, puede hacerlos más susceptibles a la reabsorción radicular externa durante el tratamiento de ortodoncia.

Regenerative Endodontics: Challenges for Clinicians The goal of regenerative endodontic treatment is to restore the physiological functions of the dentin-pulp complex, thereby increasing the longevity of natural teeth. Regenerative endodontic treatment has yielded successful clinical outcomes. It has been postulated that the regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex requires high-level disinfection of the root canal system and the application of tissue engineering principles. This essay provides the current knowledge of antimicrobial treatment for pulp regeneration and their limitations as well as new antimicrobial therapies for enhanced disinfection.

Fewer needles, less drilling, less numbing and less bleeding: lasers in dentistry are quickly becoming the new standard of care due to their exceptional clinical performance and their impact on the patient experience. The clinician integrated the Solea, a 9.3 µm CO2 all-tissue laser into his practice because he wanted to be more efficient, give patients an unparalleled dental experience and differentiate his practice from the competition. Solea achieves this through its profound analgesic effect for hard tissue procedures and virtually bloodless soft tissue performance. During this hands-on workshop, the clinician demonstrates the laser’s underlying technology, how to successfully integrate it into your practice and the dramatic effect it’s had on practices. In the hands-on portion, attendees practice on pig jaws and use extracted teeth to learn and practice with the all-tissue laser.

CAD/CAM technology has the advantage of reducing clinical chair-time and reducing laboratory costs. The accuracy of these techniques has improved to the point where they are now comparable to conventional techniques. This program reviews the current technology, which allows the fabrication of anterior and posterior crowns utilizing various digital intra-oral systems. In addition, these techniques can also be used to fabricate implant restorations. Digital acquisition impressions of implant and ceramic restorations are demonstrated. Utilizing a variety of intra-oral scanners, we can plan our guided surgeries, use digital wax-ups and finalize restorations using 100% digital work flow. In addition, working with CBCT scans we can analyze Occlusal Vertical Dimension (OVD) for our patients and transfer that information through to final Full Mouth Rehabilitation (FMR).

Recesiones Gingivales Abordaje Interdisciplinario: Periodoncia, Ortodoncia, Prostodoncia Desde 1980 las recesiones gingivales son tratables exitosamente, sin embargo, aún existe más por investigar sobre su etiología, diagnóstico y tratamiento. Las especialidades de ortodoncia y prostodoncia pueden interactuar como factores etiológicos desencadenantes y/o predisponentes, y también juegan un rol importante en el tratamiento quirúrgico de las mismas. En casos clínicos donde no se logra un recubrimiento radicular del 100% se deben evaluar más profundamente las causas. Una técnica quirúrgica mal aplicada o un diagnóstico inadecuado pueden afectar el resultado de nuestra cirugía plástica periodontal, y éste dependerá de un correcto diagnóstico que incluya la identificación y corrección de los factores.

Dentists understand that they can make oral devices to help adults with sleep breathing disorders. Is there a way to help children not grow up to need these in the first place? By recognizing developing airway issues from birth, dentists have many opportunities to help people live on a better health trajectory; one where breathing at night is never a problem. Helping families ensure that young ones breathe better creates happy children and families, lowers health care needs and even makes it easier to have a straight and beautiful smile.
Learn to:
identify children with airway problems

While the oral-systemic relationship has its roots in ancient cultures, and was brought into the modern age by clinicians in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the current emphasis on the effects of oral health on overall health is only around 30 years old. While the basic concept, what happens in the mouth can affect the rest of the body, has not fundamentally changed over this span of time, the underlying science behind what is happening has matured. This program provides a brief synopsis of the history of the relationship between oral health and overall wellness, followed by a more detailed review of where the state of the science sits today and provides a glimpse as to where the science is taking us.
Learn:
the history of how oral health effects overall health has developed from the ancient Egyptians to our understanding of this relationship today

Neutral Zone Technique for Stable Mandibular Dentures Severe alveolar ridge resorption is a major problem when fabricating complete dentures. This becomes a bigger concern in the mandibular arch because the surface area is less than the maxilla, and muscles of the tongue, cheeks and lips can dislodge them. To aid in the stability of the mandibular complete denture, the neutral zone technique can be utilized. This program describes a step-by-step technique of how to capture the neutral zone by patient’s functional movements and then transfer to the laboratory to guide artificial tooth set up.

Advances in Hard and Soft Tissue Augmentation in the Aesthetic Zone Using 3D Printing Technology Contemporary patient expectations have made esthetics a major requisite of all treatment plans, especially in situations where there is a high smile line. Although new restorative materials have highly improved predictability and esthetic outcomes, soft and hard tissue management play a fundamental role when working in esthetic areas. To achieve ideal esthetics, preservation of the natural soft and hard tissue architecture is a primary clinical objective.

Stress Distribution Comparison between Implants and Teeth The stress distribution of load in implantology compared to a tooth is dependent on the mechanical values of its components. A tooth is considered to be a graded material, composed with natural stress breakers and able to reduce forces substantially before they impact the bone. On the other hand, an Implant is not a gradient material and the distribution of load is different compared to a tooth. Understanding the distribution of a load and how it is reduced before impacting the bone is emphasized; biomechanical values are compared. Effects of the difference of these values are discussed.

El Dilema de la Carga Inmediata El concepto de función inmediata se ha convertido en una modalidad de tratamiento común en el manejo de pacientes edéntulos o en aquellos pacientes a punto de convertirse en edéntulos. Esta presentación se centrará en las variables que dictan función inmediata, tales como el contorno y el tamaño del implante, el lugar de implantación y limitaciones anatómicas, la estabilidad primaria, la distribución anterior-posterior y la biomecánica y su papel en la consecución de oseointegración exitosa en el marco del protocolo de función inmediata. El entendimiento del fundamento biológico y clínico para estas variables permitirá entender cuándo se puede proseguir con función inmediata.

A Hands-On Workshop for Management of Anterior Alveolar Defects: Challenging Cases in the Aesthetic Zone
Osseointegrated oral implants have been successfully reported for over 40 years. Prosthetically driven implant positioning requires a sufficient volume of bone in the desired position. However, sufficient bone volume is frequently lacking as a result of trauma or infectious diseases such as advanced periodontitis. Regardless of the numerous surgical techniques described in the literature that aim at regenerating bone in a vertical and horizontal dimension, clinicians still struggle when faced with challenging vertical defects. The use of autogenous bone could be a viable option but clearly causes discomfort to the patient, increases the morbidity and undergoes a rapid degree of resorption. Advances in digital imaging and 3D reconstructions offer dramatic improvement in diagnostics when faced with severe vertical jaw defects. The use of guided bone regeneration (GBR) associated with non-autogenous scaffolds constitutes the next generation of bone augmentation in all alveolar defects with or without implants.

The attention of the clinician on soft tissue is increasing every day. This is true in both the natural dentition and also in the case of implants. Function, aesthetics and long term success are the goal of the treatment and soft tissue has a terrific impact on it. The ultimate goal of root coverage procedures should be complete shielding of the recession defect with a pleasing color and tissue blend between the treated area and adjacent tissues. This achieves both biologic and aesthetic success. It is important to select the most predictable and easy-to-perform surgical technique according to a careful evaluation of several factors. In this program, the decision making process is discussed and the different techniques are analyzed in detail. Soft tissue management around teeth and implants are also discussed.

It has been over forty years since direct posterior composite resins were introduced as an alternative to metallic restorations, most specifically amalgams. Poor wear resistance, micro-leakage, bodily fracture, marginal breakdown, recurrent decay, post-operative sensitivity, inadequate interproximal contacts and contours, color degradation and inability to polish or maintain polish have been its criticisms. Obtaining a good marginal seal, the role of bases and liners, creating tight interproximal contacts and the dreaded “post-operative” sensitivity are discussed. This workshop combines science and practicality to streamline and improve your posterior composite technique.

Peripheral Inflammation and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) Worldwide, more than 31 million persons suffer from dementia, with 50-60% having AD and these numbers are estimated to double by 2030 and double again by 2050. It is accepted that Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of AD, but it remains unknown to what extent peripheral inflammation and infections and dysbiotic conditions play a role. Periodontal disease could contribute to the pathogenesis of AD by increasing brain amyloid load and promote cognitive dysfunction. This presentation critically reviews the evidence supporting a link between periodontal disease and AD.
Ricardo Osorio, M.D.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD): A Bidirectional Relationship’ Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major health problem in the aging population (estimated prevalence of about 30-80%). Severe OSA is a risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular disease in middle aged men. OSA has also shown to increase the risk of developing dementia in late-life. Studies suggest that OSA may be a new contributor to cognitive decline in the elderly population. This program addresses the detrimental consequences of OSA in patients with a neurodegenerative condition, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Meaningful, memorable and unexpected experiences can be a big influence on patients. Tony Robbins said, “we remember only 80 percent of what we experience.” Creating the ultimate experience helps your patients remember. How patients perceive your practice and your team is very important. Small details such as coffee, warm towels, blankets and music can give them that experience, but patient communication and patient perception is the most important. The more skillful communicators and leaders that you and your team become, the more effective this process becomes. The more you can connect with patients, the faster you will build a relationship of trust. Little details can cause a patient to rationalize paying more because they perceive that they are receiving more. Anyone can do the big things right. However, it’s the little things that differentiate one business from another and which influence patients to choose your practice.
Learn:
how the first point of contact with your team sets the stage for their continuum of care
the importance and methods for standing out in the patient’s mind for excellent customer service and exceeding expectations

Guided Surgery has revolutionized and simplified implant dentistry for clinicians that thrive for perfection. With a combination of cone beam, CBCT and CAD/CAM technology, we are now able to prepare an entire workflow with great clinical outcome as well as predictability of the final restoration. Most practitioners are involved in the restorative phase of implant dentistry and referring patients out for surgery due to the lack of confidence or fear of surgical complications. Today surgical placement has become easy and predictable with guided surgery and more general dentists are utilizing surgical templates to overcome their fears. This “Live” demonstration outlines some of the great features of implant technology goes over step-by-step protocols for diagnosing, planning and performing surgery with appropriate use of implant systems and surgical guides. In addition, a groundbreaking technology for anesthetizing the maxillary arch without causing any pain to the patient during anesthesia.

The effect of orthodontic therapy on periodontal tissue and the combined ortho-periodontal approach is reviewed using actual clinical cases. Patients with periodontal disease can present with pathological teeth migration, due to occlusal trauma and reduction of the bone support accompanied with intrabony defects. Unfortunately, this can also be associated with esthetic damage of the smile line. It is often necessary to combine a perio-ortho treatment in order to solve both issues. However, the clinical perspective of orthodontic movement in patients with severe intrabony defects has not been analyzed with clinical controlled trials; so there are only limited reports with different results. The aim of this prorgram is to analyze the possibilities, limitations and the operative sequences of periodontal surgery in patients with severely compromised dentitions.

Tratamiento odontológico en niños con Trastornos del Espectro Autista
La atención odontológica en niños con Trastornos del Espectro Autista (TEA) se basa actualmente en los cambios incorporados en la quinta edición del DSM V Edición en el cual se han eliminado criterios diagnósticos utilizados desde hace décadas para el diagnóstico del autismo y de los trastornos asociados. Los pacientes con estos trastornos pueden o no presentar anomalías dentales específicas y la mayoría se relaciona con los patrones de comportamiento. La atención en niños con TEA seguirá un protocolo odontológico personalizado y adaptado a la signo sintomatología médico-social.

Sleep apnea has been part of the human experience for centuries before Charles Dickens’ ‘Pickwick Papers’ actually made it part of our culture in the 19th century. However back then, most of the focus was on one of the character’s obesity rather than the sleeping disorder associated with it. It wasn’t until the early ‘80s that the complexity and variability of expression associated with sleep disorders was more fully appreciated as the use of polysomnography made it possible to fully document apneas during sleep. Soon we were able to begin to effectively address the disorder’s etiologies thanks to the proliferation of Sleep Centers around the globe. As a result, all sorts of therapeutic approaches evolved ranging from drug and inhalation therapies, to various surgical and appliance methodologies. This seminar discusses what surgical therapeutic approaches work best; when and if to refer patients for tonsillectomies and adenoidectomies; what you might be missing in your practice; and where to best focus your efforts.
Learn:
the accomplishments achieved in sleep medicine
about the practicality of appliance therapy
to manage patients with sleep disordered breathing
surgical therapeutic approaches and how to apply them
Dental caries continues to be a significant problem for children, adolescents and individuals with special health care needs. Frequently, traditional restoration of carious teeth is challenging due to young age, developmental disabilities or anxiety that require use of general anesthesia to manage behavior. This is a costly resource with limited availability. Recent FDA approval of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has provided an option to arrest caries lesions without the use of invasive procedures. The combination of SDF and glass ionomer cement provides a transitional restoration that manages the caries process and improves function.
Learn:
the indications and contraindications for silver diamine fluoride
the proper placement technique of both SDF and GIC through hands-on training
the elements of informed consent when communicating with parents regarding treatment options

Over the past few years, the news has been flooded with stories about various nutritional approaches which are based on a lower carbohydrate/higher healthy fat/moderate protein approach, as well as, those that promote a more ancestral or Paleo approach. With so much conflicting information being delivered on these various “diets,” it is challenging for clinicians to understand what these approaches entail, what the data actually says, and how any of these approaches to nutrition can impact oral health as well as overall wellness. This program cuts through the noise and provides evidence-based information on why it is important for dental clinicians to understand these nutritional approaches.
Learn:
the similarities and differences between the various ancestral and low carb nutritional approaches
why some of these approaches may be better for overall wellness, and oral health vs. the standard American diet

The clinicians present their clinical and philosophical approach to treatment planning and execution through the use of their “Dream Team” (lab, staff and coordinated specialists). The focus is on the past, present and the future of dental aesthetics from initial composites to porcelain veneers and, ultimately, interdisciplinary advanced cases. They discuss new technologies, techniques and materials. For many patients aesthetic rejuvenation is an instant miracle and the clinicians emphasize the possibilities that exist today.
Learn:
to improve your consultation and aesthetic case presentation skills
to emphasize your overall vision to get patients to say “yes” to treatment

The relationship between third molars and crowding of the lower front teeth continues to be controversial and is still debated today. While it seems to make logical sense that a wisdom tooth angled towards the other teeth would have a pushing and crowding tendency, there is evidence that this may not in fact be completely true. This program explores whether or not extracting third molars for the sole purpose of preventing shifting is justifiable.
What is Benign Essential Blapherospasm: its Treatment, Management, and Its Effect on Oral Health
According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders, Benign Essential Blapherospasm (BEB) affects over 50,000 people in the U.S. As of today, researchers do not know what the causes of BEB are. It is characterized by abnormal blinking, or increased frequency of muscle spasms of the eye lids. These involuntary muscle spasms may spread to other facial muscles like the tongue and jaw and cause oral-mandibular dystonia, known as Meige Syndrome. This program provides general information of BEB, the etiology, diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment options, which include Botulinum injections. Medical consequences and their effect on patient’s oral health and dental hygiene process of care are also discussed.
Utilization of Caries Classification Systems in Private Practice
Dental caries is a preventable, infectious disease whose eradication requires the diligent use of new, evidence-based methodologies and therapies. This program reviews the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) and the American Dental Association Caries Classification System (ADA CCS) and their use of evidence-based approaches to halt the progression of carious lesions and minimize the need for surgical intervention. Incorporating either of these systems into a caries prevention program will help ensure positive outcomes.

Preservation of the natural dentition has always been the most desired outcome in the practice of dentistry and a key factor in systemic and oral health. Is function for a lifetime realistic when a tooth has received endodontic therapy? What do we know about the biology of dentin behavior after our endodontic procedure is complete and how should we think about those factors that limit structural longevity of the dentin? This program discusses the influences and stresses of endodontic therapy and reflects upon the principles of dentin preservation, considering new modalities in imaging and other assessments that give us a more comprehensive understanding of prognosis and quality treatment.
Learn to:
understand the structural weakening that occurs as a result of endodontic and restorative procedures
reflect upon the principles of cervical dentin preservation in stabilizing load transfer to roots
appreciate the biocompatibility of restorative materials and clinical strategies for protecting endodontically treated teeth

Prevention and Management of Dental Implant Complications
Success rates with implant dentistry have been increasing with improving techniques. More and more implants are being placed with the advent of local courses and mini-residencies. As with any procedure, along with the increase in case-numbers, comes an increase in complications. Unfortunately in the future, we could face increases in the number of complications. It is important to not only know how to place implants but how to treat the complications associated with the procedure. Complications can be surgical and/or restorative in nature. This program focuses on diagnosis, prevention and treatment of common implant complications in a methodical, scientifically-based, step-by-step approach every clinician can use in their office.

For many years, practitioners have enjoyed a high success rate in endodontics. However, with the introduction of CBCT many 2D “successes,” as seen on standard periapical radiography, have been shown to still have evidence of apical periodontitis in 3D. The recent introduction of minimally invasive treatment concepts has further complicated the situation. This program explores emerging trends in endodontics that address these 3D “failures” and presents a laser-assisted protocol for the effective management of the apical third of root canal systems within the confines of minimally invasive treatment protocols.
Learn:
to redefine endodontic success based on CBCT findings

There are numerous ways in which hypnosis positively affects a patient’s experience in the dental chair. With hypnosis you can eliminate a patient’s anxiety, fears, gag reflex, bruxism, and control bleeding and saliva flow. Hypnosis can even be used to perform dental procedures without the need for anesthesia. However, in order to be successful, you must first learn the very specific and intentional language patterns required for these techniques. Shifting your language creates a “waking” state of hypnosis and your patients can immediately experience more calm, rapport with you and comfort in the dental chair. This hands-on workshop teaches attendees how to facilitate a hypnotic session and also includes a segment on self-hypnosis.

Each participant works on a typodont model with two roots placed in the anterior mandible. Two root attachment systems are discussed and utilized. Each root is prepared separately using the proprietary reamers and countersink armamentarium. The attachment is then cemented into the root. The process of how the male or female attachment is picked up in bisacryl is performed for each of the attachment systems. The corresponding male or female retentive element located in the overdenture is checked for retention on the model after trimming and finishing. This element is then changed and a new one is replaced, simulating what is done chairside by the dentist. The workshop includes the demonstration of appropriate block out materials.
Learn to:
prepare roots and cement direct overdenture attachments
cure male attachments with metal housings in an overdenture
replace worn male attachment with another male attachment

Minimally Invasive Dentistry: Laser Benefits
The preservation of a healthy body and full function for every patient should be the goal of all health practitioners. The minimally invasive approach to dental caries establishes a proper doctor-patient relationship thus empowering and educating the patient to take responsibility for their own dental health. Using the laser technology in the aspect of surgical intervention has many clinical advantages, including: its selectivity for carious tissue; reduction of needs for local anesthesia; decontamination effect of preparation surfaces; minimal thermal stimulus to pulp chamber; increase surface adhesion for composite materials; and, other soft tissue applications.
Sharvari T. Karande, D.D.S. 3:00-4:00
Provisionalization of Single Unit Implant Restorations
Single unit implant restorations have gained popularity over the years. These restorations are a highly predictable treatment option for patients with respect to esthetics and function. It is imperative to understand the need for provisionalization given that there is significant healing time required for osseointegration of implants and peri-implant tissues. As these provisional restorations greatly influence peri-implant tissues, it will help the clinician to evaluate the esthetic outcome of the final restoration.

It’s time for dental professionals to treat caries as a disease, and not just a series of individual lesions. Dentists and their teams need the skills to manage this disease as physicians treat diseases elsewhere in the body. Helping patients fight this debilitating, costly disease is at the center of this movement. The clinician provides specific evidence-based guidelines for diagnosing caries lesions, assessing a patient’s risk of developing new lesions, managing contributing factors like sugar intake and plaque, preventing new lesions, and arresting or remineralizing early lesions. Many clinical cases are presented to help apply this information to the practice of everyday dentistry.

Paradigm shifts and new treatment approaches following extraction of teeth are now accepted as emerging standards of care. In order to preserve the alveolar ridge, bone grafting, guided tissue membranes, and other regeneration approaches offer significant advantages to patients planning on dental implants, fixed and removable prostheses. Tooth extraction, without regeneration, results in osseous deformities of the alveolar ridge, including reduced height and width of bone. Management of esthetics, prosthetics, phonetics, and implant placement are markedly improved with bone regeneration. This hands-on workshop provides an understanding of implant site development principles and bone grafting clinical protocols.
