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.
Case acceptance in the hygiene department is vital to the well-being of our patients and our practice. In dentistry, we are typically great at explaining what needs to be done and how we are going to do it, but rarely touch on the "why" behind the treatment. Join us to learn the 5 vital steps for better communication and increased case acceptance.
This is Part 2 of a 2-part series with Immediate dental implants are an accepted contemporary treatment option for the replacement of missing teeth. One pitfall of immediate implant use, however, is the inevitable residual space that remains between the implant and the socket wall which can result in bone loss and formation of a bony defect. We will review the current evidence on how to manage this bone void at the time of implant placement to optimize long-term clinical outcomes.
Reconstructive procedures in periodontology aim at regenerating the lost periodontal supporting tissues which have been lost following periodontal disease. The presentation will answer the question on the clinical benefit of reconstructive procedures in intrabony and furcations defects for improving tooth prognosis and provide the clinician with an evidence based clinical concept for using these procedures in various clinical scenarios. Moreover, new data from preclinical studies and clinical case series have shown that the use of certain volume stable collagen matrices may have a positive effect on stabilizing the periodontal wound and the flap thus enhancing wound healing/regeneration and may be of potential clinical relevance.
Join Dr. Lesley David and Dr. Hassan Moghadam as they discuss when to place immediate implants, how to treat the labial bone defect in the anterior maxilla and when to use computer planning and guided surgery.
This webinar will be an informal question and answer dialog with Dr. Lesley David and Dr. Hassan Moghadam on practical implant topics. They will share their expertise regarding common clinical implant scenarios and approaches regarding treatment planning. An interactive dialog with the two clinicians live will allow for great discussions on various clinical cases to be presented. The participants will also have an opportunity to ask questions and interact with the clinicians. The goal of this webinar is to demonstrate various approaches to clinical scenarios and practical treatment protocols to common clinical presentations.
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?
