This webinar with Dr. Ronald Jung will provide a comprehensive overview of the important steps needed to reduce risks from planning to tooth extraction and implant placement with bone regeneration.
You have invested a lot of time and money in courses on how to safely and accurately select and then place an implant, the surgical drill kit, an Oral Surgery / Implant motor system, handpieces and possibly a Cone Beam Scanner – but what about a technology that assists in determining a safe time to start a restoration? Every Implant heals differently - Osstell can help!
This webinar with Dr. Michael Glogauer will focus on the current gold standard for preserving alveolar bone at the time of extraction in order to optimize long-term implants therapy success.
Learn about the increased momentum of using soft tissue grafting procedures at dental implant sites in the last 5 years with Dr. Daniel Thoma.
This webinar with Dr. Ira Sy will focus on how to have a better understanding of the prevention and management of complications related to implant therapy.
Over the past few decades, oral implant therapy has been increasingly popular as a treatment of choice for partial and full edentulism. Although implants have shown to be highly predictable, there has also been an increase in various complications from surgical and prosthetic interventions. Some of these complications have led to acute and chronic problems for our patients and additionally, there has been a need for re-treatment.
This program will review clinically some of these iatrogenic complications with regards to the lack of biological placement of implant fixtures to cementation retention leading to the potential of tissue damage and ultimately the loss of osseointegration and failure with endosseous implants.
At the end of this course, participants will have a better understanding of the prevention and management of complications related to implant therapy.
Gingival recession is a significant problem which can lead to both esthetic and functional compromise. Surgical treatment for correcting gingival recession often involves harvesting autogenous tissue from the patient's palate. While this is the gold standard, it can be associated with pain, morbidity and an unpleasant patient experience. There are also scenarios where palatal tissue harvest is either not preferred, feasible, or even desirable for numerous patients. Fortunately, there are alternative materials that can be used to achieve successful and predictable root coverage outcomes and provide for a favorable patient experience. This evidence-based presentation will focus on the use of collagen matrices as an alternative to autogenous palatal tissue for use in periodontal plastics and root coverage procedures. Emphasis will be placed on the physical and handling properties of collagen matrices, selection of the appropriate surgical modality, and proper case selection for optimal root coverage outcomes.
