Restorations must be placed without post-op sensitivity, contacts must be properly formed, and they must be durable. These principles in the placement of restorations remain inviolate. There are methods for placement which are successful nearly 100% of the time with cements which are incredibly reliable and crowns which will rarely fracture. This program covers all the topics needed for everyday successful dentistry including resin adhesives, cements, crowns, direct and indirect restorations, the relationship between occlusion and sensitivity.

Fatores críticos na reabilitação com implantes cerámicos
Os implantes dentários feitos de titânio e ligas de titânio são considerados o “gold standard” em implantologia, mas a crescente demanda por implantes dentários livres de metal e o desenvolvimento de materiais cerâmicos refinados, mais resistentes e fortes levou a sistemas cerâmicos fortes como uma alternativa para titânio. O estado da arte digital visa essencialmente simplificar os atos clínicos com maior previsibilidade e rapidez, com claro benefício para o paciente. A parte mecânica dos protocolos de implante de zircônia é, sem dúvida, importante, no entanto, é na área de Biologia e Fisiologia que essas tecnologias de zircônia fazem diferença em relação às convencionais. Com a introdução destes implantes de zircônia de 2ª geração, existem fatores críticos biológicos e mecânicos que temos que entender para dominar a técnica. Esta palestra irá destacar os prós e contras da terapia com implantes de zircônia, bem como mostrar as indicações em cada situação clínica.

Avance Mandibular con el Sistema de Alineadores Transparente Basado en la Técnica Invisalign
La Retrognacia Mandibular es una condición esquelética que padecen una gran mayoría de nuestros paciente que acuden a nuestras consulta buscando tratamiento ortodóntico. Esta condición es mucho más predecible y simple de corregir en paciente en crecimiento que en pacientes adultos. Podemos encontrar una gran variedad de aparatos llamados propulsores mandibulares para corregir específicamente éste tipo de condición. El problema común de estos aparatos siempre es la misma, el tamaño es muy grande y en los aparatos que son removibles la falta de colaboración de los pacientes. La empresa Invisalign desarrollo una alternativa que reúne las ventajas que tienen muchos de estos aparatos con un tamaño mucho más reducido y muy fácil y cómodo de usar para los pacientes en crecimiento. Desde 2015 uso el sistema invisalign para mis pacientes y desde mediados del 2017 comencé a usar el Invisalign Teen con Avance mandibular obteniendo resultados magníficos y con la colaboración de mis pacientes adolescentes. Es necesario saber seguir los protocolos y con enorme placer comparto mi experiencia con éste tipo de aparatos.

Screening for Airway and Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders is becoming the standard of practice for dentistry. In October 2017, the ADA approved a policy statement emphasizing dentistry’s role in screening for sleep-related breathing disorders. Learn what you need to know to meet this new standard of care or to exceed it and provide more for your patients and practice. Whatever your goal this presentation is for you and your entire team.
Sleep Related Breathing Disorders (SRBDs) are a set of potentially serious medical conditions – snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and others are characterized by disruptions in normal breathing patterns. Metabolic, cardiovascular, respiratory, dental and other diseases have been found to be related to SRBD. Dentists are the only health care provider with the knowledge and expertise to provide oral appliance therapy (OAT).
This program covers dental sleep medicine, restorative dentistry, orthodontics, myofunctional therapy, TMD, physiological monitoring, public health initiatives and more. Learn how to provide OAT for mild and moderate sleep apnea when a patient does not tolerate a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device; recognize and managing OAT side effects, and continually update dental sleep medicine knowledge and training at the Airway Summit.
Leading dental educators, scientific academy representatives, allied health organizations, representatives from industry and members of the public will offer information about what the dental team must know and can do to impact positive health change for patients. Learn from not one but 18 presenters. This is an excellent place to begin your sleep education as well as to expand it to new levels.
Learn:
the scope of and prevalence of SRBD
to assess a patient’s risk for SRBD as part of a comprehensive medical and dental history
to refer affected patients to appropriate physicians
how to evaluate the appropriateness of OAT as prescribed by a physician
about other dental and nondental collaborative treatments for SRBD
The Foundation for Airway Health is dedicated to helping the public realize their maximum potential by championing the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of airway related disorders through collaboration, awareness, research, education and access to care.

Functional Esthetics: Design, Develop, Deliver and Repeat
Often, patients present with chipped, broken and worn teeth that have become unsightly over time. How do we achieve beautiful esthetic results that will last long-term? Through the process of a complete exam, systematic treatment planning and predictable systems, a general dentist can develop a plan to not only achieve a beautiful smile, but to have one that is able to withstand the test of time. This program is designed to help attendees understand how to design, develop and deliver functional esthetic cases.
Learn:
the role of occlusion in treatment planning functional esthetics
to understand four key steps to achieving predictable esthetic results
Designing comprehensive treatment plans that will address occlusal, esthetic, and biologic issues are essential for the success of a restorative dental practice.

By understanding the importance of biologic and occlusal stability, the dentist can then begin to complete treatment in smaller increments and break down those case acceptance barriers.
Learn to:
review the five requirements of occlusal stability
discuss the diagnostic data points and records that are needed to properly plan complex restorative cases

Orthognathic Open Bite Correction Skeletal open bites are widely misunderstood, frequently treated with mechanics appropriate only for dental open bites. While adjuncts, such as TADs, or traditional orthodontic mechanics may successfully treat mild skeletal open bites, evidence shows that orthognathic surgery will lead to better aesthetics and long-term stability, especially for more extreme cases. By using an evidence-based algorithm, a diagnosis with an optimal treatment plan can be developed. A series of cases are shown to illustrate the techniques discussed.

Restauraciones con ADN Humano ¿Cuántas veces hemos recibido del laboratorio, o colocado restauraciones en la boca de nuestros pacientes que parecen humanas, pero que no estás completamente satisfecho con el resultado estético?

Description:
We have done a great job of informing the public about the need for oral preventive care. They know to come to the dental office to get their teeth “cleaned” and checked for cavities. We cannot stop there! We need to keep going to help our patients think of ways to protect their mouths for the health of the teeth, gingiva, and other structures and understand how their oral health is involved in their physical health. That is why we should look for Whole Mouth Health. In this program, we review what Whole Mouth Health means. The clinician discusses oral microbiome balance on hard and soft oral tissues and maintaining equilibrium. The program includes assessments for caries, periodontal disease, the new AAP periodontal disease classifications, oral cancer, and how oral inflammation may affect the body. Also included are strategies to engage patients in their oral care and develop treatments to manage the oral flora to promote not just oral health but Whole Mouth Health.
Learn to:
review global oral health status and the oral health link to systemic health
recognize appropriate dental management interventions to promote Whole Mouth Health in your patients
discuss the patient’s active participation in the risk assessment process to identify opportunities for positive behavior change to minimize their risks for oral disease and to improve their oral health

Pulse Oximetry for Screening OSA and OAT Titration Dentists can use screener questions to identify patients at risk, but the specificity and communications go way up with objective data. If a traditional home sleep apnea test is used on undiagnosed patients, it can be a burden to the dental office, can have a significant cost, and can put the office in jeopardy of being accused of crossing the line between practicing dentistry and medicine. Using oximetry, however, provides a way to gather sophisticated data without any of those barriers and OSA can be effectively treated with a Mandibular Advancement Device at any severity level. The high-resolution pulse oximetry provides critical information to guide oral appliance titration.

Full mouth rehabilitation is one of the most difficult types of cases to handle in practice today. Many times, these patients have advanced occlusal breakdown, along with the presence of a Temporomandibular Joint internal derangement. Learn how these internal derangements are classified and how they affect the long-term prognosis of your case. The clinician details the diagnostic records necessary and steps he completes in performing a full mouth rehabilitation including understanding vertical dimension and how and why to make changes. Also discussed is “how to” in completing the bite records necessary in increased vertical dimension cases both prior to and during the preparation appointment. Preparation sequencing is key in full mouth reconstructions, and the clinician gives you a simplified approach to tackling these complex cases.

Course #: 3600 Date: 12/01/2019 Time: 2:00pm - 5:00pm Course Info: Half Day Speaker(s): Shannon Pace Brinker
True esthetics come from a balance of morphology and color of the dentition against the backdrop of the healthy periodontium in a functionally sound occlusion. A major challenge is to reconstruct natural biologic parameters when teeth are lost. Tooth loss in the esthetic zone can be handled by the placement of dental implants or by conventional crown and bridge procedures. Whichever route is chosen, the key to esthetic success lies in the preservation of facial and interproximal alveolar bone and symmetry of the soft tissue envelope that surrounds and frames the teeth. Only then can the contours and color of the dental units be exploited to create a maximal esthetic dental reconstruction.
Learn:
to understand techniques to maximize esthetic outcomes for ridge socket preservation with dental lasers
specific cases where dental lasers (hard and soft tissue) can be used to create an esthetic periodontal environment
how utilizing a tissue laser can shorten and deliver a more predictable healing time with less post-operative discomfort
to construct a beautiful provisional restoration with pontic design that supports periodontal tissues during the healing phase of treatment

Reparación Apical Posterior a la Endodoncia El trabajo en endodoncia no termina con la simple obturación del conducto, para medir su éxito o fracaso se hacen necesario una serie de controles inmediatos y mediatos y ver el avance o reparación de la lesión, adicionalmente a esto realizar las pruebas clínicas pertinentes a alguna sintomatología que pudiera referir el paciente, así como también la rehabilitación de éste diente tratado que complementa el éxito del tratamiento. Se intenta responder a una serie de cuestiones clínicas que se presentan durante la preparación biomecánica de conducto radiculares, morfología apical variada, exacerbación apical posterior al tratamiento endodóntico y sus complicaciones con órganos o estructuras adyacentes todo esto visto desde el análisis causal del grado de efectividad de los tratamientos del sistema de conductos radiculares según criterios y estándares actuales.

Micro implantes en Ortodoncia En el tratamiento de ortodoncia el anclaje, es la etapa más desafiante de la terapéutica, debido al efecto de la fuerza de reacción. En la mayoría de los anclajes intraorales, tienden a perderse un 1/3 del espacio creado por extracciones, desgastes, expansiones o distalizacion, en el anclaje extraoral que por lo general se utiliza para reforzar el intraoral, esto trae como resultado menos eficacia en dichos tratamientos. El avance de la odontología ha colocado en nuestras manos los Dispositivos de Anclaje Temporal, de los cuales discutiremos y presentaremos casos clínicos concluidos exitosamente.

Armonización Orofacial, Clave Odontología Moderna ¿Por qué la armonización orofacial es la clave para la odontología moderna? RESUMEN En esta presentación mostraremos que el objetivo de la armonización orofacial es establecer y mantener el equilibrio estético funcional entre las estructuras intra y extraorales a través de la sinergia de los parámetros dimensionales consagrados en la literatura científica. Por ejemplo, el cirujano dental que enfrenta su trabajo de rehabilitación intraoral puede eventualmente encontrar pacientes con asimetrías faciales de tejidos tegumentarias en relación con los dientes, ya sea debido a desarmonías faciale.
Priscilla Pereira, D.D.S.
Armonización Orofacial Una sonrisa hermosa y saludable se debe dar a partir del equilibrio de los labios, los músculos y la armonía facial del paciente. Nunca se conoció tanto, nunca hubo tantas posibilidades de sentirse bien, de tener una apariencia mejor en la Odontología. Existen tratamientos seguros y mínimamente invasivos que buscan el equilibrio de las expresiones faciales y la anatomía facial. Ahora también tenemos una nueva herramienta que permite la neuro modulación de los músculos faciales, a través del uso de toxina botulínica y el llenado con ácido hialurónico que podemos ofrecer a nuestros pacientes.
Andressa Ballarin, D.D.S.
Labios B3D Una Escultura en Movimiento Los labios atractivos están asociados a la juventud y la belleza y por lo que han sido deseados por muchos pacientes. Debido a esto, la voluminización de los labios es un procedimiento cosmético muy buscado. El relleno labial con ácido hialurónico (AH) es altamente recomendado por tratarse de un procedimiento reversible. El protocolo Ballarin 3D tiene varias características técnicas de relleno labial, con el objetivo de aumentar el volumen preservando el diseño labial natural a partir de un análisis y planificación cuidadosos de cada caso. Al final, el gran desafío del procedimiento de llenado labial es conseguir resultados naturales. La técnica detalla el posicionamiento, estabilización y la angulación de la aguja en cada región a ser llenada, describe también las regiones donde no se deben aplicar rellenos, pretende esculpir los labios de tal forma que el resultado es una bella visión tridimensional. Aunque no existe una receta única para “labios perfectos”, la técnica que se presentará será un modelo para volumizar los labios de forma natural, así como sus variaciones podrán corregir asimetrías, tratar labios seniles, promover el rejuvenecimiento perioral, o para alteración de la forma labial inexistente.

Estética Dentofacial
Cuántas veces hemos recibido del laboratorio, o colocado restauraciones en la boca de nuestros pacientes que parecen humanas, pero que no estás completamente satisfecho con el resultado estético? La razón de esto, por qué carecen de ADN humano. Que es el ADN?: Es un ácido nucléico que contiene toda la información genética que determina las características que hacen a un diente humano!. Cuando una restauración carece de una o más de estas características no producirá un resultado estético natural!. En esta presentación explicaremos a través de de la presentación de casos clínicos cuáles son y cómo lograr que nuestras restauraciones tengan las características que el ADN le confiere a los dientes humanos, y la importancia de esto en la estética dentofacial.

Subantral augmentation procedures have been part of our surgical armamentarium since the mid-1980s. Since that time clinical and scientific research has led to changes in both surgical technique and our decision-making related to grafting materials, implant surfaces, and timing. These changes have resulted in lateral window techniques that have a lower complication rate, reduced morbidity, and shorter treatment times. In this hands-on workshop, attendees learn to discuss evidence-based decision-making for sinus augmentation; the latest surgical techniques (Piezo, DASK, S.A.D., low window, Osseodensification); a review of sinus anatomy from the surgeon’s perspective; and, how to avoid complications and treat them if they occur.

Anterior Open Bite Correction: Surgery vs. TADs
Anterior open bite (AOB) can be corrected by orthognathic surgery or orthodontic treatment. Severe skeletal, facial, and functional problems should be corrected by orthognathic surgery, but combining cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and temporary anchorage devices (TADs) can provide an efficient and accurate way to correct AOB. Nowadays, by using TADs, we can expand orthodontic boundaries. In this program, various clinical applications of TADs and orthognathic surgery are discussed in challenging AOB cases along with the new American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) Scenario-based Oral Clinical Examination domains. After this program, attendees can treat and finish anterior open bite cases more efficiently and successfully while minimizing the chance of relapse.
Learn to:
discuss how to prepare the new ABO Scenario-based Oral Clinical Examination in diagnosis and treatment planning, treatment implementation and management, and critical analysis and outcomes assessment in AOB cases
identify clinical situations in which CBCT imaging and TADs are beneficial in AOB correction

What does a chef and dentist working with a person with autism spectrum (ASD) have in common? It is preparation for their guests. A chef organizes a successful meal service for their guests by preparing in advance also known as “mise en place.” Similarly, a dentist can prepare for a successful dental visit for their guests with ASD. Delivery of dental care to some individuals with ASD can be challenging for both patient and provider. The person may engage in behavioral responses, which may interfere with delivery of even the simplest dental procedures. Hence preparation is key for a successful dental visit. This seminar reviews some of the common behavioral characteristics of a person with ASD and how they may interfere with the delivery of dental care. Strategies to address these characteristics and to better prepare the person and family for a successful dental visit are discussed and demonstrated via videos of actual patient interactions.
Learn to:
identify behavioral characteristics of Individuals with ASD
identify at least three strategies to prepare children with ASD for a dental visit

Aesthetic Periodontal Crown Lengthening Surgery This program discusses the diagnoses and management of Altered Passive and Active Eruption cases via Periodontal Crown-lengthening Surgery. Frequently, a “gummy smile” contributes to many aesthetic problems for patients. This excessive display of gingival tissues is caused by factors such as vertical maxillary growth, dentoalveolar extrusion, a short upper lip, upper lip hyperactivity, Altered Passive Eruption (APE) and Altered Active Eruption (AAE). APE is a genetic or developmental condition characterized by the coronal positioning of the gingival attachment and soft tissue margins on the enamel surface. This results in the appearance of short clinical crowns. AAE occurs when teeth erupt into contact with the opposing occlusal plane prematurely. The result of this premature contact is that coronal tooth movement is stopped, thereby preventing the osseous crests from receding apically to their physiologic location on the root surface. Since the bone crests do not move apically, the gingival attachment and soft tissue margins are forced coronally giving the appearance of short teeth..
Bernard Fialkoff, D.D.S. 10:00 – 11:00
Periodontal and Implant Treatment Philosophy Through the Eyes of a Periodontist Today’s periodontal treatment requires a thorough understanding of periodontal and implant surgical alternatives, regenerative materials, anatomical factors and proper coordination between disciplines. Soft and hard tissue regeneration with osseous grafts, membranes, and regenerative gels have resulted in improved predictable regenerative outcomes. Sinus and alveolar grafting have replaced long span tooth borne bridges/extensive tooth preparation/retention of questionable dentition with implant fixed prosthetic alternatives. These innovations demand coordinated treatment plans between the restoring and surgical practitioner. This program reviews these different factors.
Philip D. Pack, D.M.D. 11:00 – 12:00
Soft Tissue Grafting The speaker presents an overview of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of gingival recession. The discussion focuses on gingival, connective tissue and dermal allografts with an emphasis on esthetic periodontal plastic surgery for root coverage in single and multiple recession sites. The classification of recession defects is reviewed as well as anatomic factors affecting the result. Different techniques are presented including coronally advanced flaps and the tunnel procedure. Interdisciplinary management of cervical lesions are presented as well.

Bruxismo & Férulas Oclusales - Análisis Crítico. El bruxismo del sueño ha sido visto previamente como una condición patológica, mientras que ahora se acepta como una condición controlada a nivel central pero con varios factores de riesgo. Se ha postulado que el bruxismo del sueño puede tener un papel protector durante el sueño, de mantenimiento de la vía aérea o para estimular el flujo de saliva. La administración de toxina botulínica (Botox) a los músculos masticatorios parece reducir la frecuencia del bruxismo, pero se han planteado preocupaciones con respecto a los posibles efectos adversos.

The goal of modern dentistry is to return patients to oral health in a rapid and predictable fashion, following a diagnostically driven treatment plan for long term success. When complex treatment is needed, we must ascertain bone density and volume, dental torus position and size, dental facial esthetics, and jaw relationship in the patient. If only a limited number of implants are placed, the outcome may become compromised especially if a single implant is chosen for the esthetic zone. Prosthetic dentistry may be a better choice for definitive treatment; the outcome may result in greater patient satisfaction with a comprehensive dental approach. Adequate treatment planning with advanced restorative dental techniques can create a biological approach with an emphasis on comfort, function, facial esthetics, and speech during treatment, with long term clinical success.

This program provides the knowledge to recognize and diagnose potential orthodontic problems that exist and will occur in your patients from 3 to 12 years old, during the development of the permanent dentition. Certain oral habits, jaw development, sleep issues, and breathing habits can be observed and determined. Uniquely designed oral appliances along with protocols are used to correct malocclusions, crowding, functional deficiency, and habitual issues. The HealthyStart system guides incoming teeth into the proper alignment while correcting current orthodontic issues and teaches the patient the proper way to swallow. Implementing Earlydontics, children develop a proper airway, guide and develop the incoming dentition with a stable result, by providing proper sleeping and breathing habits and allowing the child to grow and develop properly.
Learn to:
recognize, diagnose and treat current and future malocclusions in young patients

This program is designed for the general practitioner as well as all specialists. Everyone from the first-year dental student, your receptionist to the veteran about to retire will benefit from this course. Today many of our patients treat their own anxiety by self-medicating themselves or expect us to offer them a magic pill. There is no simple solution, but the clinician shows you how to be proactive and avoid serious complications. This program demonstrates, through case studies, how utilizing TLC, Nitrous Oxide, Alcohol, Anxiolysis, Oral and I.V. Sedation, can help and manage the apprehensive patient. We will also role-play and simulate dental office emergencies. A significant amount of time focuses on airway management by the solo operator or as a team member working with an anesthesiologist. Everyone participates in hands-on workshops with a variety of airway adjuncts to treat airway emergencies. Treating the apprehensive man, woman or child can be very rewarding. When managed properly they remain loyal for life and often refer their friends and family. Everything from tender loving care to general anesthesia will be covered. Other courses teach you how to medicate, communicate and delegate. This course pulls it all together and satisfies the NYS mandated 12-hour CE requirement in enteral, parenteral and I.V. sedation.

Finding Your Loved Ones Through Dentistry This program discusses what to expect as a first responder in a mass fatality situation and how as a dental professional, you can play an important role. As dental professionals, we are already knowledgeable about dental regularities and irregularities. Using this knowledge to play a part in responding to a large fatality incident can be a great service to those families looking for loved ones. Dentists play an integral part as experts in the identification of individuals but there is a need to work together with other medical responders and administrators as an organized unit. This presentation puts into perspective the training and operations of a successful outcome for helping those in need. A question and answer session will follow.

Bitemarks and Human Abuse Cases Human abuse, including child abuse, spousal abuse, and intimate partner abuse often involve human bitemark patterned injuries. This type of physical abuse is often a precursor to more life-threatening injuries and fatalities. The most common type of biting to humans is produced from a dog’s dentition and that can be determined by a practicing odontologist. The distinction between a human bite versus an animal bite becomes especially important in a situation when there is an explanation of a bite or bites found on the body of a person stating that the patterned injury resulted from an animal. Cases are presented where human abuse and bite marks were involved.
Kenneth W. Aschheim, D.D.S. 11:00 – 12:00
Forensic Odontology: From the Case Files Teeth are not only objects of interest to dentists but are also of interest to the legal system.

From the latest equipment to the newest technology, forensic odontology is an ever-changing field.

Influencia de la Inteligencia Emocional en el éxito profesional En el cerebro humano existen dos inteligencias: La inteligencia emocional y la cognitiva. Nuestro desempeño en la vida está determinado por ambas. No solo es importante el coeficiente intelectual, sino también la inteligencia emocional. Existe una complementariedad estructural y práctica entre el sistema límbico, la neo corteza y el lóbulo frontal. Cuando estos dos sistemas interactúan positivamente, la inteligencia emocional aumenta lo mismo que la capacidad intelectual. “La habilidad de saber modular los sentimientos, para controlar los impulsos en situaciones extremas, que permiten concentrarse y mantener la capacidad de pensar y tomar decisiones que te conducen al éxito”. Pueden ser aprendidas en la infancia, siempre que se tenga un referente positivo. La Inteligencia emocional no se trata de ahogar las emociones, sino de dirigirlas y equilibrarlas. Si se entrena, entonces disminuye la posibilidad de equivocarnos. Fortalece la confianza, la motivación, la creatividad, la paciencia y la empatía. De ahí el valor de tener en cuenta esta importante habilidad para lograr el éxito profesional, lo cual constituye una reflexión que aplica a la odontología moderna, por ser una especialidad que desarrolla una total interacción del profesional con el paciente, y que no solo se hace presente en una o dos ocasiones, sino que se emplea en una relación que puede perdurar por mucho tiempo.
Estela de los Ángeles Gispert Abreu, Ph.D.
Tecnologías Para La Salud Bucal Positiva Se parte de los paradigmas vigentes en Salud Pública, señalando la conveniencia de implementar y evaluar tecnologías y procesos de gestión de salud positiva. Para ello es necesario el empoderamiento del personal de salud, de la población y de los diferentes sectores que conforman la sociedad en los diferentes ámbitos en que se desarrolla la vida humana. La concepción de salud bucal positiva conllevaría a que se incremente la demanda de la población por acciones que verdaderamente le produzcan salud, lo que va más allá de la reparación de daños acumulados y tributaría a una salud pública ética, equitativa y justa que aporte mayor calidad y satisfacción por la vida tanto en la población como en los profesionales que tienen como encargo la salud bucal.
