November 9, 2022 – Multiple Case Presentation / Evening Seminar
“COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT PLANNING SEMINAR”

Dinner will be served, followed by a lively two-hour discussion of Treatment Planning/Hand On. Five to ten participants will present cases to be treatment planned or show already completed cases. This will be followed by a spirited discussion of the therapeutic alternatives that exist – an excellent way to exchange ideas and expand your knowledge base. This forum will also serve as a learning crucible for difficult cases. Please note that you do not have to present cases to participate.

PREVENTION VS. PROSECUTION: Patient Care Issues in Dentistry”

The practice of dentistry and dental hygiene involves adhering to strict standards of care and observing appropriate standards of ethics and jurisprudence. This course examines the best methods for producing desirable results to avoid injury.
Clinical standards are reflected in various case histories. We will dissect some of the most challenging communication scenarios in the dental office, such as what to say when patients reject treatment recommendations or necessary radiographs and implementing an informed consent/informed refusal protocol. Every attendee will gain useful information to improve his/her own communication skills.

“SMILE LINE REVITALIZATION WITH CROWNS AND VENEERS – SMILE LINE REVITALIZATION WITH DENTAL IMPLANTS”

Dr. Priest will elucidate the parameters of an ideal smile followed by a hierarchy of material selection, progressive preparation, retraction and impression/digital scanning methods, digital smile design concepts, scripted digital imaging for detailed color and contour communication, and cementation techniques that maximize retention and eliminate sensitivity. The smile line revitalization course is designed for dental teams who wish to explore a methodical approach that simplifies esthetic rehabilitation with dental implants.

“MECHANICAL STRATEGIES FOR IMPLANT ASSISTED AND SUPPORTED COMPLETE PROSTHESES”

Treatment of the completely edentulous patient has always proven to be one of the most challenging aspects of clinical dentistry. When treating the edentulous patient, dental clinicians are faced with many questions: Where do I get started? What prosthetic design is most appropriate for my patient? How many implants should be placed and where should the implants be positioned? What attachment systems should I use? When and why should implants be splinted with a primary bar? Are more implants better for my patient? Are fixed restorations better than overdentures? Many factors will influence the answer to these and many more questions.

This presentation will take you through the steps necessary in diagnosing, treatment planning and predictably treating the edentulous patient with endosseous dental implants. Mechanical strategies, case design, attachment mechanisms, CAD/CAM bars and clinical procedures will be discussed in detail.

“FACIAL AESTHETICS: Changing Lives”

Over the past 10 years digital technologies have changed the way we treat our patients. Many of these techniques are helping the clinician capture digital data to be used in treatment planning and provisionalization and in final restorations. Understanding materials CAD/CAM technologies and various software that are available will be discussed. Digital data acquisition and transfer are key components to the delivery of excellent dental treatment. Utilizing laboratory technicians who are an integral part of the fabrication of these treatments. This program will highlight the endless possibilities of the technology that is available.

OBJECTIVES:
1- Using current digital technologies for treatment planning
2- Utilizing 2-D and 3-D imaging for ideal prosthodontics
3- Laboratory component to delivering prosthetic treatment
4- Digital data acquisition and transfer

April 14, 2023 – Jay Smith, DDS / Full Day Seminar
“Uppers are from Mars, Lowers from Venus: Overdenture Solutions”

Many clinicians find it difficult to plan and sequence the complex dental restoration. Dr. Smith will outline a systematic method to simplify restoration of these cases. Implant dentistry will be featured as the most beneficial method of tooth replacement. Esthetic considerations along with peri-implant soft tissue development will be featured. The presentation will demonstrate ways to minimize biomechanical complications often associated with implant dentistry as well as a discussion of current materials selection. Multiple case presentations will highlight the each day’s presentation.

“IMPLANT PROSTHETIC MISADVENTURES”

This program will provide attendees with a strong theoretical basis on the management of your dental implant prosthetic restorations.  Discussed in detail will be the long-term success and failures associated with prosthetic implant restorations.
Course Objectives:
•Understand the potential complications that could occur with various implant restorations including cementable vs. screw retained and removable overdentures.
•Everyone comes across situations of stripped, fractured or a loosened prosthetic screw. Learn how to prevent these types of concerns when restoring your next implant case.
