Programme Friday, October 19, 2007 Ceramic Systems, Cements & Techniques for the 21 st Century Practice Dr. John A. Sorensen Portland, Oregon Founder and Director of Pacific Dental Institute, practice limited to Prosthodontics Topics to be discussed: • All-ceramic systems from Alumina to Zirconia are presented and compared to traditional and alternative metal-ceramic restorations for the properties of strength, esthetics and ease of handling. • Clinical trials on many all-ceramic crown and bridge systems are offered to support use of the systems in private practice. • Various sophisticated CAD/CAM fabrication technologies for zirconia substructures and conventional ceramics are illustrated. • Selection criteria and indications for the various all-ceramic systems. • Current principles for restoration of endodontically treated teeth. • Tooth preparation designs for various ceramic restorations and minimally invasive tooth preparations are demonstrated. * Designs for veneers, partial veneers, anterior crowns, posterior crowns, onlays and posterior partial veneer crowns. • Tooth preparation designs and techniques for full crown all-ceramics • Patient evaluation, esthetic analysis, smile design, diagnostic casts and diagnostic waxups. • Selection criteria for the most appropriate ceramic material and cement to match existing teeth. • Improved shade selection techniques using both the eye and digital technology. • Soft tissue management in the esthetic zone – maintenance and enhancement of the interdental papilla, ovate pontic design and techniques for natural looking bridges. • The latest cements are described along with simplified techniques for cementation of ceramic restorations and finishing methodologies. * Criteria for cement selection Friday, December 14, 2007 Bonded Restorations in the Posterior Dentition Dr. Pascal Magne Los Angeles, California Associate Professor with Tenure and the Don and Sybil Harrington Foundation Chair of Esthetic Dentistry in the Division of Primary Oral Health Care, University of Southern California, School of Dentistry (USCSD), Los Angeles. Friday, January 18, 2008 Innovative Ceramic Restorations Utilizing Chairside CAD/CAM Technology Dr. Dennis J. Fasbinder Ann Arbor, Michigan Clinical Professor of Dentistry Director, Advanced Education in General Dentistry University of Michigan School of Dentistry This presentation is for doctors who are interested in exploring the clinical capabilities of adhesive, ceramic restorations in a single appointment utilizing CAD/CAM technology. An overview of the clinical technique will be presented as it relates to workflow, software design of the restoration, machining of the contours, and delivery of the final restoration. Evidenced-based information will be presented to answer common questions on margin integrity and adaptation, esthetic results, controlling occlusion, frequency of post-operative sensitivity, the variety of materials available for chair-side applications, and clinical longevity of partial coverage and full crown restorations. Patients' requests and clinicians' interest in esthetic restorations are not limited to anterior teeth. As a result, posterior “tooth-colored” adhesive restorative techniques considerably grew over the last decade and a plethora of materials and methods are available to the clinician today. The survival rates of adhesive restorations in posterior teeth appears to be quite satisfying, even placed by dental students, to the point that some countries today have abandoned the teaching of amalgam restorations and other traditional metallic restorations. Apart from their cosmetic advantage, the new adhesive techniques offer many other benefits such as tissue conservation and natural strengthening of remaining tooth substance. These emerging concepts, which are following the so-called “biomimetic approach”, provide the ability to restore not only the esthetic but also the biomechanical and structural integrity of teeth. This presentation will show that dental composites and ceramics constitute striking elements of this nascent approach to tooth restoration. Indications for bonded restorations in the posterior dentition will be presented, including the biomimetic approach to severe loss of coronal substance and nonvital teeth. Attendants should benefit from these considerable improvements that should influence both the medicobiological and socioeconomical approaches of their practice: more sound tissue preservation, maintenance of tooth vitality, less expensive procedures compared to traditional and more invasive “prosthodontics”. Within this wide array of techniques, the presentation will focus on bonded porcelain restorations and explain why they constitute the ideal solution to the functional and esthetic needs of the posterior dentition.
Highlights Friday, April 18, 2008 The Secrets of Restorative Excellence for Implant Dentistry Dr. Kenneth S. Hebel, B.Sc., D.D.S., M.Sc. London, Ontario Dr. Hebel has the appointment of Adjunct Professor at the School of Dentistry, University of Western Ontario Recreating Nature: The Harmony of Function and Esthetics Mr. Lee Culp Bradenton Florida Founder of Mosaic Studios and Director of the Institute for Oral Art and Design. This day focuses on practical take home procedures for your practice whether you are fully engaged or just beginning to provide implants procedures for your patients. Restoration of dental implants is often presented as complicated and time consuming. The presentation will emphasize the use of standard prosthodontic principles to simplify the restoration of dental implants. An organized approach will be presented for the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment planning of dental patients. Simple rules for developing a proper plane of occlusion and associated implant selection, positioning and restoration allow you to maximize function and esthetics. Concepts of smile design will be used to predict treatment outcomes and determine the need for bone and soft tissue management. Abutment selection, types of cements, cementation techniques, retrievability and esthetics will be presented. As patients become more educated to modern dentistry’s advances, their motivation and desire for natural esthetic, restorative dentistry is increasing at a dramatic rate. Dentists are now fulfilling these patient demands, but many are concerned only with the visual impact of the smile, with total disregard to proper occlusion, envelope of function, and phonetics, resulting in broken restorations, speech problems, and patient dissatisfaction. The newest technology to enter dentistry is Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing. This technology is accepted due to it’s advantage of increased speed, accuracy and efficiency. Today’s CAD-CAM systems are being used to design and manufacture metal, aluminia, and zirconia frameworks, as well as all ceramic full contour crowns, inlays, and veneers that may be stronger, fit better, and are more esthetic than restorations fabricated using traditional methods. CAD-CAM systems will be presented as well as the latest development, in materials and computer milling technology. This lecture will offer participants a unique insight into the replication of natural esthetics while focusing on proper function and occlusal harmony. You will learn a format for achieving that often-elusive goal of pleasing the patient, dentist, and ceramist with creative ceramic artistry. Aspects to be covered during the day: • Diagnostic and treatment planning • Digital photography • Dentist/technician communication • Metal ceramic and all ceramic techniques • Computer color measurement • Articulator selection • Esthetics and smile design A leader in continuing education and a leader in the community.
