Dentists, Students, Educator, Doctor

Description:

This seminar demonstrates a series of simple, cost-effective, predictable, and clinical uses for bone regeneration focused on one-step alveolar ridge preservation using novel composite graft/collagen materials. Review surgical techniques for both routine tooth extractions and innovative surgical procedures for ridge preservation, sinus lift, and grafting around immediately placed implants in this program. This course covers current clinical guidelines and the scientific rationales behind them.

Learn:

• understand alveolar ridge preservation and why it is important to graft sockets as well as recognize the clinical indications and benefits of grafting extraction sites
• demonstrate simple, predictable, and cost-effective socket grafting techniques without the use of a membrane
• review additional surgical applications covering post-extraction grafting around immediate

Course #: 3020
Date: 11/27/2022
Time: 2:00pm - 5:00pm
Course Info: Half Day
Speaker(s):
Robert Miller, D.D.S.

Room: Exhibit Floor Room #2024
Topic: Implant Dentistry
Tuition: $275.00
Credits: 3
Recommended For:
Dentists, Assistants, Students

Description:

This seminar discusses one-step ridge preservation as well as onlay grafting and how to enhance the implant site by combining novel biomaterials with autologous growth factors. From simple and cost-effective socket grafting to more advanced clinical concepts in bone regeneration, this course covers a spectrum of pliable preformed shapes used in bone grafting procedures for implant placement. Surgical techniques and novel biomaterials will be discussed using Synthetic Bioactive Resorbable Calcium Apatite crystals combined with bovine achilles tendon collagen to form a composite material known as the OsteoGen® Bone Grafting Plugs, Strips and Blocks.

Learn:

• understand the role of new hybrid composite grafts
• discuss the biologic and physiologic cellular response to dense bone filling augmentation materials
• demonstrate simple, predictable and cost-effective socket grafting techniques without use of a membrane using the OsteoGen® Bone Grafting Plugs, Strips and Blocks

Course #: 5010
Date: 11/29/2022
Time: 9:45am - 12:45pm
Course Info: Half Day
Speaker(s):
Huzefa Talib, B.D.S.
Thomas Wiedemann, M.D., Ph.D., D.D.S.

Room: Exhibit Floor - Hall A - Glass Classroom #4
Topic: Implant Dentistry
Tuition: $355.00
Credits: 3

Description:

Robot-assisted implant surgery combines the advantages of both the physical constraints of static guides and the flexibility of dynamic navigation. The first F.D.A. approved commercially available robotic system for dental implant surgery accommodates haptic and audio-visual guidance to the implant surgeon. Robotic technology also provides a valuable aid to the dental pros-thetic and surgical teams during the entire dental implant rehabilitation. For the implant practitioner, this will improve outcomes and thereby patient retention and serves as a great educational tool when patients are able to see advantages of 3D planning and execution in real-time. 

Learn:

• to provide an overview of the history of robotics in medicine and dentistry 
• to understand guided implant surgery: from freehand to static and dynamic navigation and robotic-assisted implant placement: advantages and disadvantages 
• the workflow from treatment planning to implant placement in robot-assisted implant surgery and the potential applications in implantology 
• the educational aspects for general dentists and dental students and opportunities for practice differentiation

This program is repeated in the afternoon

Course #: 6420

Time: 9:00am - 12:00pm
Course Info: Half Day
Speaker(s):
Roya Zandparsa, D.D.S., M.Sc., D.M.D.

Room: 1E21
Topic: Implant Dentistry
Tuition: $245.00
Credits: 3
Recommended For:
Dentists, Assistants, Students, Lab Technicians, Educator

Description:

Clinical success can be defined as achieving a result that is aesthetic, functional, and predictable. The art and science of Implant Dentistry is introduced with emphasis on the fundamental principles and techniques required to rehabilitate function and form. This course aims to provide dentists with a scientifically based rationale for all diagnostic, treatment planning, and patient care decisions. This program is designed to allow the dental professional to investigate all potential treatment options before initiating a treatment plan and to achieve exceptional outcomes by combining different treatment modalities. Participants receive a thorough overview and an update of all the new materials, indications, limitations, laboratory considerations, various designs, fabrication techniques, and treatment options with all the possible obstacles and trouble shouting to provide a framework for successful results every time.  

Learn:

• the fundamentals of treatment planning with Implant Dentistry
• a stronger understanding of prosthetic needs, materials, methods, and new technologies
• to become familiar with currently available advanced digital technology, clinical techniques, and materials for restoring dental implants
• practical tips on how to avoid common pitfalls and complications
