21st Century Orthodontics – What Works, What Doesn’t and Why?
The specialty of orthodontics has been bombarded with claims of superiority of specific orthodontic appliances, treatment strategies and extravagant claims of the detrimental effects of time honored orthodontic concepts. In the absence of evidence based data, the clinician is often left without predictable and reproducible treatment outcomes in private and institutional orthodontic practices. This seminar addresses a number of orthodontic issues and revisits debates that should have been settled a long time ago. Issues such as why and how Class II malocclusions are actually successfully resolved regardless of the specific “appliance du jour” and why extraction therapy needs to be part of every orthodontist’s treatment arsenal are discussed. In addition, the real urgency of early treatment (mixed dentition or sooner) is also described.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) encompass a multitude of conditions which involve the temporomandibular joints, muscles of mastication and/or contiguous structures. Many TMD diagnostic subgroups share common clinical characteristics. Diagnosis and management of TMD has been associated with many misconceptions and much debate. It is now recognized that multiple factors are involved with the initiation and/or perpetuation of TMD. Additionally, we now have a greater appreciation for the total pain experience including pain mechanisms/pathways and pain referral in the head and neck. The importance of individualizing diagnosis and management for optimum therapeutic outcomes is also discussed.

Manejo de Avulsión Dentaria La avulsión es el desplazamiento completo del diente de su alvéolo. En esta lesión se produce la ruptura del paquete vasculonervioso, de las fibras periodontales, y además se ocasionan lesiones en el cemento y en el hueso alveolar. Las causas más frecuentes son golpes, accidentes automovilísticos y deportes de contacto. Los tratamientos dependen de situaciones, como el grado de formación radicular, el tiempo extraoral y el medio de almacenamiento o transporte. Existen protocolos de manejo que se deben tener en cuenta para los dientes avulsionados.
Celia Ivette Gandarilla GonzÁlez, D.D.S.

Integrative medicine is a growing discipline whereby the objective is to understand cause and affect relationships of health and disease. Patients are counseled on how to prevent accelerated aging and chronic degenerative conditions, such as atherosclerosis. At the same time, patients are coached on how they can engage in a lifestyle that can turn back the clock, increase energy, sharpen their minds, make them trimmer, fitter, sexier and help them live with much more vibrancy and joy. These very same principles are discussed and can be applied through dental medicine, by addressing 4 B’s- Bite: TMJ, masticatory muscles, dental malocclusion, occlusal orthotics, headaches Bacteria: oral pathogens, salivary testing, probiotics, periodontal therapy, xylitol Breathing: sleep apnea, disordered breathing, nasal vs. mouth breathing Body: and systemic inflammation, nutrition, physical inactivity, toxins and stress.

Endodontic Failures? Diagnosis and Treatment This program presents cases which are endodontic failures and mimic endodontic failures. It is imperative to be able to differentiate between actual failures and those which mimic failures. Only then can the proper course of treatment be decided upon. The process of differentiation must be implemented.

Regenerative Endodontics: Challenges for Clinicians The goal of regenerative endodontic treatment is to restore the physiological functions of the dentin-pulp complex, thereby increasing the longevity of natural teeth. Regenerative endodontic treatment has yielded successful clinical outcomes. It has been postulated that the regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex requires high-level disinfection of the root canal system and the application of tissue engineering principles. This essay provides the current knowledge of antimicrobial treatment for pulp regeneration and their limitations as well as new antimicrobial therapies for enhanced disinfection.

Radial Apical Cleansing Successful management of the apical third of root canal systems has long been considered to be the most significant and challenging aspect of endodontic therapy. This essay reviews the importance and complexities of the apical third of root canal systems and presents a minimally invasive, laser-assisted treatment concept; Radial Apical Cleansing, for successful management of this critical area. Concepts such as apical foramen cleansing as well as the importance of achieving technical patency are addressed. Clinical cases encompassing loss of patency (due to calcification, blockages, ledging or complex canal anatomy) as well as perforations and invasive cervical resorption are also presented.

Distracción Ontogénica Mandibular Las desarmonías dentofaciales están constituidas por un grupo de entidades que afecta a pacientes de diversos rangos de edad, lo cual implica situaciones que van desde alteraciones en pacientes en crecimiento y aquellos que sobrepasan la pubertad. Esto hace que la evaluación de cada paciente sea minuciosa a fin de proponer soluciones mínimamente invasivas y con los mayores beneficios posibles. La Distracción Osteogénica (DO) es una de las alternativas terapéuticas que brinda al paciente la ventaja de promover la formación de hueso autólogo en espacios que hubiesen requerido injertos de gran tamaño, y por consiguiente, la necesidad de una segunda zona quirúrgica o donadora. Esta ventaja es aplicable para el área.

CAD/CAM technology has the advantage of reducing clinical chair-time and reducing laboratory costs. The accuracy of these techniques has improved to the point where they are now comparable to conventional techniques. This program reviews the current technology, which allows the fabrication of anterior and posterior crowns utilizing various digital intra-oral systems. In addition, these techniques can also be used to fabricate implant restorations. Digital acquisition impressions of implant and ceramic restorations are demonstrated. Utilizing a variety of intra-oral scanners, we can plan our guided surgeries, use digital wax-ups and finalize restorations using 100% digital work flow. In addition, working with CBCT scans we can analyze Occlusal Vertical Dimension (OVD) for our patients and transfer that information through to final Full Mouth Rehabilitation (FMR).

Recesiones Gingivales Abordaje Interdisciplinario: Periodoncia, Ortodoncia, Prostodoncia Desde 1980 las recesiones gingivales son tratables exitosamente, sin embargo, aún existe más por investigar sobre su etiología, diagnóstico y tratamiento. Las especialidades de ortodoncia y prostodoncia pueden interactuar como factores etiológicos desencadenantes y/o predisponentes, y también juegan un rol importante en el tratamiento quirúrgico de las mismas. En casos clínicos donde no se logra un recubrimiento radicular del 100% se deben evaluar más profundamente las causas. Una técnica quirúrgica mal aplicada o un diagnóstico inadecuado pueden afectar el resultado de nuestra cirugía plástica periodontal, y éste dependerá de un correcto diagnóstico que incluya la identificación y corrección de los factores.

Description:
This “Live” demonstration is designed to present a full root canal treatment. The aim is to teach the most up to date information and philosophies using the latest techniques and armamentarium in endodontics. This demonstration provides a real life clinical perspective on how to approach both patient treatment and new emerging technologies. The goal is to teach why the newer treatment technologies are safer and more efficient then conventional techniques. A brief presentation of the diagnostic workup and diagnosis are discussed, then a full treatment will follow with a focus on safe access and canal location. Canal instrumentation is initiated with newly developed glide path rotary instruments. Root canal preparation will be completed with Niti files using adaptive motion technology. This technology incorporates the efficiency of full rotation of the files accompanied by the safety of reciprocation. Root canal system irrigation will be completed with the apical negative pressure technique using the latest in irrigation technology with the Endovac Pure device. Three dimensional obuturation of each root canal will be accomplished using the warm vertical condensation technique.
Learn:
techniques to help safely access the pulp chamber and to locate the canals using ultrasonic instruments
the advantages in safety and efficiency of using a new niti glide path file to establish the path of the canals while conserving dentin structure
to safely prepare the canals using the adaptive motion technology of the TF Adaptive file system to allow for appropriate apical enlargement of the canals while maintaining dentin conservation principles
to become familiar with the apical negative pressure irrigation technique using the Endovac Pure technology
the warm vertical condensation technique to obturate the canals effectively from coronal to apex

How to Manage Complications in Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR)
Prosthetically driven implant positioning requires a sufficient volume of bone in the desired position. In severely atrophic cases, vertical guided bone regeneration may achieve extraordinary results, however, the clinical operative protocol must be strictly followed. Complication rates may increase when the latter is disregarded. Complications may range from mild to severe and cause disruptive results. A thorough comprehension of the anatomical site, the biology behind GBR coupled with a thoughtful clinical surgical approach will decrease the complication rate significantly. A classification and description of the management of complications are described with an assortment of clinical cases.
Learn:
an understanding of the operative site, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan to achieve successful vertical guided bone regeneration
the different classifications of complications through clinical cases
the rationale behind managing and resolving complications for GBR

Neutral Zone Technique for Stable Mandibular Dentures Severe alveolar ridge resorption is a major problem when fabricating complete dentures. This becomes a bigger concern in the mandibular arch because the surface area is less than the maxilla, and muscles of the tongue, cheeks and lips can dislodge them. To aid in the stability of the mandibular complete denture, the neutral zone technique can be utilized. This program describes a step-by-step technique of how to capture the neutral zone by patient’s functional movements and then transfer to the laboratory to guide artificial tooth set up.

Advances in Hard and Soft Tissue Augmentation in the Aesthetic Zone Using 3D Printing Technology Contemporary patient expectations have made esthetics a major requisite of all treatment plans, especially in situations where there is a high smile line. Although new restorative materials have highly improved predictability and esthetic outcomes, soft and hard tissue management play a fundamental role when working in esthetic areas. To achieve ideal esthetics, preservation of the natural soft and hard tissue architecture is a primary clinical objective.
Teofilo F. Serafin, D.D.S., M.Sc.
Stress Distribution Comparison between Implants and Teeth The stress distribution of load in implantology compared to a tooth is dependent on the mechanical values of its components. A tooth is considered to be a graded material, composed with natural stress breakers and able to reduce forces substantially before they impact the bone. On the other hand, an Implant is not a gradient material and the distribution of load is different compared to a tooth. Understanding the distribution of a load and how it is reduced before impacting the bone is emphasized; biomechanical values are compared. Effects of the difference of these values are discussed.

Actualmente en la odontología moderna se analiza más que nunca el paciente como un todo, por lo tanto vamos a demostrar técnicas que visan evaluar estrudas anexas que interactúan con el sistema estomatognatico sin olvidar la armonía estética y funcional. Desde la postura del paciente que puede llevar la desarmonía oclusal hasta la relación de los labios con los dientes.

A Hands-On Workshop for Management of Anterior Alveolar Defects: Challenging Cases in the Aesthetic Zone
Osseointegrated oral implants have been successfully reported for over 40 years. Prosthetically driven implant positioning requires a sufficient volume of bone in the desired position. However, sufficient bone volume is frequently lacking as a result of trauma or infectious diseases such as advanced periodontitis. Regardless of the numerous surgical techniques described in the literature that aim at regenerating bone in a vertical and horizontal dimension, clinicians still struggle when faced with challenging vertical defects. The use of autogenous bone could be a viable option but clearly causes discomfort to the patient, increases the morbidity and undergoes a rapid degree of resorption. Advances in digital imaging and 3D reconstructions offer dramatic improvement in diagnostics when faced with severe vertical jaw defects. The use of guided bone regeneration (GBR) associated with non-autogenous scaffolds constitutes the next generation of bone augmentation in all alveolar defects with or without implants.

Traumatic dental injuries are common in children and often lead to poor prognosis for teeth if not managed properly. Between 30% - 50% of children suffer trauma to primary dentition. Most injuries to primary teeth occur prior to 3 years of age. By the time they reach adolescence, at least 20% of children have suffered trauma to permanent teeth. The most common teeth affected are maxillary central incisors. Guidelines for management of traumatic injuries are designed to improve the prognosis following injury.

The attention of the clinician on soft tissue is increasing every day. This is true in both the natural dentition and also in the case of implants. Function, aesthetics and long term success are the goal of the treatment and soft tissue has a terrific impact on it. The ultimate goal of root coverage procedures should be complete shielding of the recession defect with a pleasing color and tissue blend between the treated area and adjacent tissues. This achieves both biologic and aesthetic success. It is important to select the most predictable and easy-to-perform surgical technique according to a careful evaluation of several factors. In this program, the decision making process is discussed and the different techniques are analyzed in detail. Soft tissue management around teeth and implants are also discussed.

Peripheral Inflammation and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) Worldwide, more than 31 million persons suffer from dementia, with 50-60% having AD and these numbers are estimated to double by 2030 and double again by 2050. It is accepted that Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of AD, but it remains unknown to what extent peripheral inflammation and infections and dysbiotic conditions play a role. Periodontal disease could contribute to the pathogenesis of AD by increasing brain amyloid load and promote cognitive dysfunction. This presentation critically reviews the evidence supporting a link between periodontal disease and AD.
Ricardo Osorio, M.D.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD): A Bidirectional Relationship’ Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major health problem in the aging population (estimated prevalence of about 30-80%). Severe OSA is a risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular disease in middle aged men. OSA has also shown to increase the risk of developing dementia in late-life. Studies suggest that OSA may be a new contributor to cognitive decline in the elderly population. This program addresses the detrimental consequences of OSA in patients with a neurodegenerative condition, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Meaningful, memorable and unexpected experiences can be a big influence on patients. Tony Robbins said, “we remember only 80 percent of what we experience.” Creating the ultimate experience helps your patients remember. How patients perceive your practice and your team is very important. Small details such as coffee, warm towels, blankets and music can give them that experience, but patient communication and patient perception is the most important. The more skillful communicators and leaders that you and your team become, the more effective this process becomes. The more you can connect with patients, the faster you will build a relationship of trust. Little details can cause a patient to rationalize paying more because they perceive that they are receiving more. Anyone can do the big things right. However, it’s the little things that differentiate one business from another and which influence patients to choose your practice.

Challenges/Controversies Pediatric airway and sleep has long been a challenge for the pediatric subspecialist as it impacts the child in many different ways in their physical and mental development. This program helps identify some key aspects of pediatric airway, and describes how this can impact pediatric sleep, breathing, pediatric facial growth and pediatric development. Several different aspects of airway and development are highlighted. Case based discussions and challenges and solutions are addressed, from the most basic to the most complex. Practical advice and basic screening tools are emphasized to help all practitioners with this important role within airway and dentistry.
The Genetic and Social Determinants of Behavior This program discusses the etiology of pediatric behavior, including genetic and social determinants. Understanding these factors will form the basis for methods of accurately assessing a child’s development, temperament, personality and fears. Such an assessment allows for prediction of, and preparation for, a child’s behavior and response to dental treatment.

Posterior composite resin restorations have become mainstream. However, dentists complain that Class II composite restorations are tedious, time consuming, somewhat complicated, and aren’t always predictable. In addition, clinicians can sometimes be confused by the vast choice of adhesives in the marketplace all claiming to be the best. This program shows a greatly simplified and efficient procedure for placing posterior composite restorations based on new materials and technology. The predictable, standardized protocol clearly shows a significant reduction in both time and effort when placing these restorations.
Learn to:
examine current matricing techniques that insure predictable quality contacts
understand adhesion: making the right choice and doing it right

The effect of orthodontic therapy on periodontal tissue and the combined ortho-periodontal approach is reviewed using actual clinical cases. Patients with periodontal disease can present with pathological teeth migration, due to occlusal trauma and reduction of the bone support accompanied with intrabony defects. Unfortunately, this can also be associated with esthetic damage of the smile line. It is often necessary to combine a perio-ortho treatment in order to solve both issues. However, the clinical perspective of orthodontic movement in patients with severe intrabony defects has not been analyzed with clinical controlled trials; so there are only limited reports with different results. The aim of this prorgram is to analyze the possibilities, limitations and the operative sequences of periodontal surgery in patients with severely compromised dentitions.
Learn:
to save teeth with a combined periodontic and orthodontic therapy

Sleep apnea has been part of the human experience for centuries before Charles Dickens’ ‘Pickwick Papers’ actually made it part of our culture in the 19th century. However back then, most of the focus was on one of the character’s obesity rather than the sleeping disorder associated with it. It wasn’t until the early ‘80s that the complexity and variability of expression associated with sleep disorders was more fully appreciated as the use of polysomnography made it possible to fully document apneas during sleep. Soon we were able to begin to effectively address the disorder’s etiologies thanks to the proliferation of Sleep Centers around the globe. As a result, all sorts of therapeutic approaches evolved ranging from drug and inhalation therapies, to various surgical and appliance methodologies. This seminar discusses what surgical therapeutic approaches work best; when and if to refer patients for tonsillectomies and adenoidectomies; what you might be missing in your practice; and where to best focus your efforts.

Dental caries continues to be a significant problem for children, adolescents and individuals with special health care needs. Frequently, traditional restoration of carious teeth is challenging due to young age, developmental disabilities or anxiety that require use of general anesthesia to manage behavior. This is a costly resource with limited availability. Recent FDA approval of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has provided an option to arrest caries lesions without the use of invasive procedures. The combination of SDF and glass ionomer cement provides a transitional restoration that manages the caries process and improves function.

This information has been applied in multiple practice sites for the past 25 years and has stood the test of time. Hinge axis can be located by using easily identifiable anatomic landmarks. Dental casts can simply be oriented on hinge axis of any articulator. Utilizing these easy to master techniques results in minimal adjustments when inserting a prosthesis.
Learn:
to easily identify valuable anatomical landmarks
how the mandible moves and functions relative to hinge axis

Over the past few years, the news has been flooded with stories about various nutritional approaches which are based on a lower carbohydrate/higher healthy fat/moderate protein approach, as well as, those that promote a more ancestral or Paleo approach. With so much conflicting information being delivered on these various “diets,” it is challenging for clinicians to understand what these approaches entail, what the data actually says, and how any of these approaches to nutrition can impact oral health as well as overall wellness. This program cuts through the noise and provides evidence-based information on why it is important for dental clinicians to understand these nutritional approaches.
Learn:
the similarities and differences between the various ancestral and low carb nutritional approaches
why some of these approaches may be better for overall wellness, and oral health vs. the standard American diet
to use this information when either confronted with questions from patients on any of these approaches, or how to take what was covered in this course and apply it to every day practice

The relationship between third molars and crowding of the lower front teeth continues to be controversial and is still debated today. While it seems to make logical sense that a wisdom tooth angled towards the other teeth would have a pushing and crowding tendency, there is evidence that this may not in fact be completely true. This program explores whether or not extracting third molars for the sole purpose of preventing shifting is justifiable.
What is Benign Essential Blapherospasm: its Treatment, Management, and Its Effect on Oral Health
According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders, Benign Essential Blapherospasm (BEB) affects over 50,000 people in the U.S. As of today, researchers do not know what the causes of BEB are. It is characterized by abnormal blinking, or increased frequency of muscle spasms of the eye lids. These involuntary muscle spasms may spread to other facial muscles like the tongue and jaw and cause oral-mandibular dystonia, known as Meige Syndrome. This program provides general information of BEB, the etiology, diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment options, which include Botulinum injections. Medical consequences and their effect on patient’s oral health and dental hygiene process of care are also discussed.

This program reviews the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) and the American Dental Association Caries Classification System (ADA CCS) and their use of evidence-based approaches to halt the progression of carious lesions and minimize the need for surgical intervention. Incorporating either of these systems into a caries prevention program will help ensure positive outcomes.
Dental Advertising and Dental Products: How to help your Patients make Choices
This program reviews dental products and advertising. There is a huge variety of advertising that patients are bombarded with on a daily basis. They see dental products advertised in various media channels and in the stores where they shop. Helping patients decipher the intents of the advertising and making decisions on how to allocate their dollars towards better and continued oral health is an important role oral health professionals could play.

Preservation of the natural dentition has always been the most desired outcome in the practice of dentistry and a key factor in systemic and oral health. Is function for a lifetime realistic when a tooth has received endodontic therapy? What do we know about the biology of dentin behavior after our endodontic procedure is complete and how should we think about those factors that limit structural longevity of the dentin? This program discusses the influences and stresses of endodontic therapy and reflects upon the principles of dentin preservation, considering new modalities in imaging and other assessments that give us a more comprehensive understanding of prognosis and quality treatment.
Learn to:
understand the structural weakening that occurs as a result of endodontic and restorative procedures
reflect upon the principles of cervical dentin preservation in stabilizing load transfer to roots
appreciate the biocompatibility of restorative materials and clinical strategies for protecting endodontically treated teeth

TMJ Pain and Dysfunction: Simplifying a Complex Process
This program simplifies the evaluation and management of the patient with acute facial pain related to the TMJ and supporting structures. All too often patients are either undertreated leading to progression of the process or over managed which leads to the prolonging of an otherwise self-limiting process. By correctly diagnosing the problem and educating the patient, participants are empowered to manage most cases of acute TMJ related pain and dysfunction using non-invasive or minimally invasive modalities.

Prevention and Management of Dental Implant Complications
Success rates with implant dentistry have been increasing with improving techniques. More and more implants are being placed with the advent of local courses and mini-residencies. As with any procedure, along with the increase in case-numbers, comes an increase in complications. Unfortunately in the future, we could face increases in the number of complications. It is important to not only know how to place implants but how to treat the complications associated with the procedure. Complications can be surgical and/or restorative in nature. This program focuses on diagnosis, prevention and treatment of common implant complications in a methodical, scientifically-based, step-by-step approach every clinician can use in their office.

For many years, practitioners have enjoyed a high success rate in endodontics. However, with the introduction of CBCT many 2D “successes,” as seen on standard periapical radiography, have been shown to still have evidence of apical periodontitis in 3D. The recent introduction of minimally invasive treatment concepts has further complicated the situation. This program explores emerging trends in endodontics that address these 3D “failures” and presents a laser-assisted protocol for the effective management of the apical third of root canal systems within the confines of minimally invasive treatment protocols.
Learn:
to redefine endodontic success based on CBCT findings

There are numerous ways in which hypnosis positively affects a patient’s experience in the dental chair. With hypnosis you can eliminate a patient’s anxiety, fears, gag reflex, bruxism, and control bleeding and saliva flow. Hypnosis can even be used to perform dental procedures without the need for anesthesia. However, in order to be successful, you must first learn the very specific and intentional language patterns required for these techniques. Shifting your language creates a “waking” state of hypnosis and your patients can immediately experience more calm, rapport with you and comfort in the dental chair. This hands-on workshop teaches attendees how to facilitate a hypnotic session and also includes a segment on self-hypnosis.

Each participant works on a typodont model with two roots placed in the anterior mandible. Two root attachment systems are discussed and utilized. Each root is prepared separately using the proprietary reamers and countersink armamentarium. The attachment is then cemented into the root. The process of how the male or female attachment is picked up in bisacryl is performed for each of the attachment systems. The corresponding male or female retentive element located in the overdenture is checked for retention on the model after trimming and finishing. This element is then changed and a new one is replaced, simulating what is done chairside by the dentist. The workshop includes the demonstration of appropriate block out materials.
Learn to:
prepare roots and cement direct overdenture attachments
cure male attachments with metal housings in an overdenture

Minimally Invasive Dentistry: Laser Benefits
The preservation of a healthy body and full function for every patient should be the goal of all health practitioners. The minimally invasive approach to dental caries establishes a proper doctor-patient relationship thus empowering and educating the patient to take responsibility for their own dental health. Using the laser technology in the aspect of surgical intervention has many clinical advantages, including: its selectivity for carious tissue; reduction of needs for local anesthesia; decontamination effect of preparation surfaces; minimal thermal stimulus to pulp chamber; increase surface adhesion for composite materials; and, other soft tissue applications.
Sharvari T. Karande, D.D.S. 3:00-4:00
Provisionalization of Single Unit Implant Restorations
Single unit implant restorations have gained popularity over the years. These restorations are a highly predictable treatment option for patients with respect to esthetics and function. It is imperative to understand the need for provisionalization given that there is significant healing time required for osseointegration of implants and peri-implant tissues. As these provisional restorations greatly influence peri-implant tissues, it will help the clinician to evaluate the esthetic outcome of the final restoration.

It’s time for dental professionals to treat caries as a disease, and not just a series of individual lesions. Dentists and their teams need the skills to manage this disease as physicians treat diseases elsewhere in the body. Helping patients fight this debilitating, costly disease is at the center of this movement. The clinician provides specific evidence-based guidelines for diagnosing caries lesions, assessing a patient’s risk of developing new lesions, managing contributing factors like sugar intake and plaque, preventing new lesions, and arresting or remineralizing early lesions. Many clinical cases are presented to help apply this information to the practice of everyday dentistry.

An attachment abutment is placed on the implant and torqued to the required torsion as directed by the specific implant abutment requirements. The use of the torque wrench is demonstrated. The process of how the male or female attachment is picked up in bisacryl for each of the attachment abutment systems is demonstrated. The corresponding male or female retentive element located in the overdenture is checked for retention on the model after trimming and finishing. This element is then changed and a new one is replaced, simulating what is done chairside by the dentist. The hands-on workshop includes the demonstration of appropriate block out materials.

Paradigm shifts and new treatment approaches following extraction of teeth are now accepted as emerging standards of care. In order to preserve the alveolar ridge, bone grafting, guided tissue membranes, and other regeneration approaches offer significant advantages to patients planning on dental implants, fixed and removable prostheses. Tooth extraction, without regeneration, results in osseous deformities of the alveolar ridge, including reduced height and width of bone. Management of esthetics, prosthetics, phonetics, and implant placement are markedly improved with bone regeneration. This hands-on workshop provides an understanding of implant site development principles and bone grafting clinical protocols.
