PROTOCOLO ACELERADO PARA IMPLANTES INMEDIATOS
Los implantes inmediatos post-exodoncia son una alternativa costo-eficien-te para reemplazar dientes posteriores que ha ganado bastante populari-dad. Sin embargo, existe un debate continuo sobre los requerimientos para mantener la altura de la cresta ósea, el volumen alveolar y la necesidad de injertar los espacios implanto-alveolares. Durante esta charla se discutirán los principios biológicos de cicatrización ósea alveolar y se presentará un protocolo quirúrgico-restaurativo acelerado de implantación inmediata.

APLICACIÓN DE LA TECNOLOGÍA Y LA INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL EN LA ODONTOLOGÍA

En los últimos años la odontología ha experimentado un cambio enorme con la aparición de nuevas tecnologías que han hecho que tratamientos que antes eran muy complejos tengan mejor pronóstico gracias a esta utilización. Un ejemplo claro son los autotransplantes que ahora mediante la planifi-cación digital se han convertido en un tratamiento con buen pronóstico con las nuevas pautas que explicaremos. Estas nuevas tecnologías nos han permitido una completa planificación de los casos de prótesis convencional, con diseños de sonrisa y de prótesis sobre implantes llegando a la colocación implantes de una forma proteticamente guiada. En la actualidad ya tenemos sistemas de cirugía guiada muy precisos y de cirugía navegada que se están desarrollando y que desde la universidad hemos evaluado.

This program will provide an overview of the dental implications of prescription medications, nonprescription medications, herbal products, nutritional supplements, and substances of abuse most frequently used by patients. Special emphasis will be given to delivering this essential information in a format which makes it practical and useful for all members of the dental team.

Description:

This course explores the diverse applications of laser therapy in dentistry, extending far beyond traditional procedures. Discover how lasers can address sleep-disordered breathing through screening and treatment, including laser-induced tightening of the soft palate and uvula to improve airway patency without surgery. We’ll delve into the connection between tethered oral tissues (TOTs), sleep issues, and laser therapies for both. The course also explores the use of lasers for non-surgical enhancement of athletic performance and nasal breathing and even ventures into facial aesthetics within the scope of dental practice. This includes techniques for facial rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, and lip enhancement, all achieved through laser stimulation of collagen production.

Learn:

• about sleep-disordered breathing (including screening) whereby the soft palate and uvula are bathed with laser energy, which tightens the collagen and opens up the airway without cutting or surgery
• screening for TOTs (tethered oral tissues) and the relationship to sleep disorders
• laser therapies for TOTs and Sleep Disordered Breathing (snoring, sleep apnea, and more)
• non-surgical laser applications in improving sports performance and nasal breathing

Topic: Periodontics
Tuition: $265.00
Credits: 3
Recommended For:
Dentists, Hygienists, Assistants, Administrative Staff, Spouse

Description:

It can be highly discouraging when patients continue to have cavities despite improvements in their oral health. This can disrupt their oral health philosophy and create the belief that “cavities are normal for me” or even “I just have soft teeth.”  Dentists and dental hygienists have the unique opportunity to identify each patient’s specific risks and provide treatment recommendations accordingly. The best way to do this is through salivary pH testing, specifically because the pH of our patient’s saliva plays a vital role in their oral cavity’s hard and soft tissue health status.

Learn to:

• review how the pH of the mouth influences soft and hard tissue oral diseases
• discover powerful communication skills to increase the patient’s ownership of their current oral health
• evaluate pH testing for your office and how to implement it into a patient’s preventive visits, and compare salivary tests to test periodontal pathogens
• compare chairside and homecare technologies to reduce the patients risk of hard and soft tissue disease

Description:

Orofacial clefts are the most common congenital malformations of the head and neck. They serve as sentinel for other birth defects and understanding the causes can be translated to other birth defects. The African Craniofacial Anomalies Network (AfriCRAN) was established in 2012 to include Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa. Data and samples from these countries were used for basic translational research. This presentation will highlight the practical steps we took to establish this network, the basic research studies (genetics and genomics) that we conducted and how we moved from the bench into the community to conduct translational research (mental health and photovoice).

La Armonización Facial con un enfoque sistémico e integrativo ha ganado protagonismo. Comprender cómo la inflamación subclínica puede interferir con las complicaciones y el pronóstico es fundamental en la planificación estética actual. Interpretar análisis de sangre/saliva y prescribir nutracéuti-cos para mejorar los resultados es un factor clave para el éxito de las tera-pias modernas. En Collagen Bank, por ejemplo, existe un enfoque sistémico que puede mejorar mucho el resultado final. En este concepto, el Dr. Mário Silveira, que trabaja en esta área desde hace años, presentará muchas nove-dade.

LA IMPORTANCIA DEL ANÁLISIS FACIAL NA ARMONIZACIÓN OROFACIAL
Quando avaliamos uma face tanto em sua vista frontal, como de perfil, devemos aguçar nossa visão no intuito de definirmos o que verdadeira-mente é a “Beleza Facial”. Esta abordagem deve desenvolver a capacida-de de notar os detalhes que estão mais aparentes, com um olhar treinado para perceber o quão atrativo ou não esta face pode se apresentar.Cuando evaluamos un rostro tanto de frente como de perfil, debemos agudizar nuestra visión para definir qué es realmente la “Belleza Facial”. Este enfoque debe desarrollar la capacidad de notar los detalles que son más evidentes, con un ojo entrenado.
