    Reducing Risks in Implant Therapies

    822010121

    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.


    The aim of the lecture is to provide a comprehensive overview of the important steps needed to reduce risks from planning to tooth extraction and implant placement with bone regeneration.
    Based on clinical complications and wrong decisions the lecture will present how to make the right decisions for handling of extraction sockets, alveolar ridge preservation and soft and hard tissue regeneration in esthetic implant therapy. The lecture will focus on how to improve implant dentistry in order to reduce the invasiveness of the therapy and will give you a lot of practical information for your daily practice.

     

    Restoring an Implant - How Long Do You Wait?

    822040621

    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! 

     

    Ridge Preservation, Extration Socket Management

    822010321

    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.


    This is Part 1 of a 2-part series with Dr. Glogauer. In order for implant therapy to be successful there is a need for adequate host bone in the proper position in three dimensions. However, the alveolar ridge is prone to resorption following extraction of teeth which results in inadequate bone volume and unfavorable alveolar ridge architecture which ultimately limits the successful placement of dental implants. Although immediate placement of dental implants is a successful form of therapy, it has been reported that implants do not adequately preserve the alveolar ridge. In this presentation we 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.

    Shifting Paradigms in Oral Soft Tissue Regeneration

    Learn about the increased momentum of using soft tissue grafting procedures at dental implant sites in the last 5 years with Dr. Daniel Thoma.


    Soft tissue grafting procedures at dental implant sites gained momentum in the last 5 years. This is due to a more profound understanding that an optimization of soft tissue quality and quantity does not only enhance esthetics but is also critical for the maintenance of peri-implant health. Whereas autogenous grafts are still considered to be the gold standard, more recent scientific evidence hints into the direction of soft tissue substitutes. Soft tissue substitutes are not replacing autogenous grafts, but rather serve as an alternative with a major benefit of decreasing patient morbidity.

     

    The Balance of Success and Complications in Oral Implant Rehabilitation

    822011221

    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.


     

    Treat the recession save the palate. How to achieve successful outcomes and keep your patients happy

    822011121

    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.
