Lecture: Bone and Soft Tissue Regeneration in the Esthetic Zone
COURSE BY :- Homa H. Zadeh, DDS, PhD
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
A variety of atrophic conditions in the esthetic zone require bone and/or soft tissue regeneration for optimal outcomes. Their management requires 1) proper diagnosis, 2) risk assessment to determine the likelihood of achieving success, 3) selection of appropriate technique, material, and protocol, 4) careful surgical execution, and 5) follow-up and management of complications. Although many techniques, material, and protocol are available, emphasis will be placed on those, which are: evidence based, have highest potential for achieving desired outcomes, associated with lower patient morbidity and less chance of complication. In particular, the VISTA technique provides many biological and surgical advantages for soft tissue and bone regeneration. This presentation will begin with explanation of the concepts and theoretical aspects, as well as clinical case presentations to illustrate the protocol.

Lecture: Soft Tissue Augmentation for Correction of Challenging Esthetic Problems in Implant Therapy
COURSE BY :- Navid Sharifzadeh, DDS, MS
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
From the early days of the discovery of dental implants, there has been a substantial paradigm shift from utilizing the implants in the edentulous ridges to rehabilitation of the most complex cases in the esthetic zone. With increasing number of implants placed in the esthetic zone, there is a rising number of complications associated with this treatment protocol. There has been a need for documentation of esthetic complications, as well as defining the risk factors. Despite all the benefits of this treatment modality, the clinicians should be aware of all the disadvantages correspondingly.

Lecture: Graftless Implantology as a Forward-Looking Clinical Concept for Highly Atrophic Arches
COURSE BY :- Thomas G. Wiedemann, MD, PhD, DDS
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
“The edentulous patient is an amputee, an oral invalid, to whom we should pay total respect and rehabilitation ambitions” (P-I Branemark, 2005). The atrophic and edentulous jaw can pose a number of challenges for the implant clinician. In simple terms, the amount of bone that remains is insufficient for the conventional placement of a dental implant. A variety of treatment strategies can be employed to enable implants to be placed despite the paucity of bone stock in either the mandible or the maxilla. Conceptually, these strategies follow one of two pathways: either augmentation of the bone, or the novel utilization of the remaining bone. However, successes do not always occur. Immediate loading cannot be performed in all grafted bone situations. More recently, non-grafting solutions that maximally utilize the residual highly atrophic alveolar or extra-alveolar bone for implant therapy have been reported to have success. The emergence of diagnostic imaging and 3D printing technology alveolar bone for implant therapy have been reported to have success. The emergence of diagnostic imaging and 3D printing technology has allowed clinicians to provide individualized patient specific implants that can adapt precisely to the patient’s remaining alveolar bone. Furthermore, short, small diameter, tilted, as well as paranasal, pterygoid, and zygomatic implants that utilize the patient’s extraoral facial bone outside the alveolar process can provide predictable and optimal results with no or minimal bone grafting with less treatment time. This presentation considers and discusses the rationale and range for contemporary graft less solutions in implant therapy, as well as the use of various graft less protocols as alternatives to grafting and conventional dental implant therapy.

Achieving Predictable Horizontal GBR Outcomes with Amnion-Chorion Barrier Membranes
COURSE BY :- Vinay Bhide, B.ArtsSc.(Hons.), DDS, MSc (Perio.), FRCD(C)
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a validated therapeutic modality used to augment deficient alveolar ridges in preparation for placement of endosseous dental implants. Currently, the most commonly used barrier membranes for GBR include non-resorbable synthetic membranes and resorbable xenogeneic collagen membranes. In the past decade, there has been much interest in the use of dehydrated human de-epithelialized amnion-chorion membranes (ddACM) derived from placental tissue, for use in various periodontal and oral surgical procedures given their favorable and unique biological and physical properties. This evidence-based presentation will discuss the use and advantages of ddACM as a biologically active barrier membrane for achieving predictable bone regeneration with GBR procedures. Several cases will be presented detailing initial grafting to prosthetic restoration.

Evolution of the Lateral Window Sinus Elevation Surgical Technique
COURSE BY :- Dr. Shi Yin
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The lateral window technique has become a go-to procedure for creating sufficient horizontal and vertical bone for the placement of dental implants in th posterior maxilla. Procedural success rates and implant survival rates have both been reported to exceed 95% in multiple evidence- based reviews. At some point, changes to surgical techniques were not likely due to the quest for higher success rates, but to other factors. This led to the development of piezoelectric surgery and the DASK surgical instrumentation and the surgical technique innovations of the S.A.D. (simplified antrostomy design) and the low window approach.

Hands-On Course : The DASK Technique (Dentium Advanced Sinus Kit)
COURSE BY :- Stephen S. Wallace, DDS
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
While maxillary sinus elevation is now considered to be the most successful ridge augmentation procedure, this did not happen overnight. From its beginnings, there have been issues with intraoperative complications, such as membrane perforations. Later there was a quest to reduce treatment times and postsurgical morbidity. The DASK technique has proven to be a surgical modality that successfully addresses these issues. This novel rotary technique will be presented through both lecture and hands-on model surgery practice.

An Update on Protocols, Products
and Treatment Options
COURSE BY :- Tricia Osuna, BSDH, RDH, FAADH
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
Updated protocols assist us in determining our patient’s specific needs. As we move towards a more collaborative profession, we need to embrace these updates to identify those needs. We are presented with continuous challenges of new advances in products and technology and their use in dentistry and are in need of information to determine when and how to add them into our armamentaria. As professionals providing health services, our perception of product use along with protocols needs to be discussed with our team, as well as the interdisciplinary referrals we have. The process of care (assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, implementation, evaluation, and documentation) requires a comprehension of protocols, products, and treatment options and how they are to be utilized.
