LECTURE

MORNING SESSION

“Digital Implant Dentistry — New Technology for Teeth and Implants”

Friday, October 14, 2016

8 hrs of AGD Implant Lecture Credit — IDBE pending final approval

Dentists for many years have performed very well using the analog world. Today however dentists have the option of incorporating digital technology to actually make treating our patients better. From digital radiographs, digital records keeping, to cone beam CT’s. We have so much more information for diagnosis and treatment planning today. Dentists can perform digital planning for implants, digital placement, digital impressions, and CAD/CAM restorations.

PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:
• Digital Implant Planning
• Guided Surgery
• Digital Impressions
• CAD/CAM Restorations

AFTERNOON SESSION

“Dental Implants in Your Practice”

This program will review the philosophy of implant therapy today. Today both tissue level and bone level implants are appropriate. The tissue level implant has been very successful, making implant restorative dentistry simple using a cemented approach. Active implant surfaces and stable abutment connections impart very high predictability. Loading protocols have drastically changed through the years due to advances in surface technology. Time to restorations is definitely shorter today. Digital planning and placement, impressions, and CAD/CAM restorations are a reality. Technology today is not a shortcut but actually makes treatment better. Of most importance is the goal of providing patients with a predictable esthetic result.

PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:
• Patient Selection
• Treatment Planning
• Abutment Selection and Impression Technique
• Fabrication of Cemented and Screw Retained Restorations
• Custom Abutment Uses
• Introduction to New Technology

 

HANDS-ON TRAINING

Saturday & Sunday
October 15 & 16, 2016
If you attend the entire 3 day weekend, you will receive 24 hrs. AGD Implant Participation Credit — IDBE pending final approval

The weekend course consists of 4 separate workshops.

“Implant Surgical Guides”

Implant surgical therapy requires a proper diagnosis and treatment planning. Of most importance is that the implant end up in the proper position three dimensionally. This requires that the position of the final restoration is determined first and the dentist or technician works backward from that position to determine where the implant should be placed. This workshop will provide the dentist or the laboratory technician a way to gather information and fabricate a surgical guide.

PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:

  • The importance of the surgical guide
  • How to avoid implant complications
  • What information to gather
  • A time-tested method to fabricate a guide
 

“Implant Abutments & Impression”

Using a mandibular model with soft tissue level implants. Participants will select and place abutments, learn to torque or tighten abutments, place impression copings and make an impression. Cemented provisional restorations will be fabricated.

PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:

  • Abutment selection options
  • Selection of impression copings
  • Different Impression techniques
  • Temporary abutment selection
  • Provisional fabrication

“Implant Esthetics Workshop”

Using a maxillary model with tissue level and Bone Level implants participants will select and place abutments, attach impression copings and make an impression. Cemented and screw retained provisional restorations will be fabricated. A custom impression coping will be fabricated to construct an anatomic soft tissue model for laboratory communication.

PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:

  • Different Impression techniques
  • Temporary abutment selection and shaping
  • Provisional fabrication
  • Custom Impression Coping
 

“Locator Workshop”

Today in our aging society there are a large number of edentulous patients. It is possible to improve these patient’s lives with the placement of dental implants. A practical and inexpensive way to restore these patients is with over-dentures supported by locator attachments. This workshop will allow the participants to modify a denture to pick-up locator attachments on a laboratory model.

PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:

  • Basic philosophy of over-dentures
  • Become familiar with different attachments
  • Learn how to pick-up locators in the mouth
  • Learn how to deal with locator maintenance
