Course Description:
The introduction of dental implants in the overall management of patients is at an all-time high and dental professionals have yet to achieve consensus for a standard of care. Recent data now demonstrates that inflammation associated with implants is commonplace and can result in loss of the implant with failure rates continuing to be at an all time high. Implant diseases range from mucositis to bone loss implantitis. Long-term implant success can depend on quality prevention, treatment and maintenance. The dental team (especially the dental hygienist) requires successful systems and tools to enhance longevity and implant health. Course Description:
Dental implants are generally considered a safe and highly predictable surgical procedure performed by many clinicians with the aim of replacing missing teeth. Yet to this day, a number of implants placed in adequate bone volume are lost each year within a 2-8 week period following implant placement for yet explained reasons. As society continues to consume lower quality foods and rely more heavily on fast foods, a large percentage of today’s population is increasing demonstrating vitamin deficiency upon testing owing to this lack of nutritional intake. These deficiencies are even more pronounced in the aging population where a greater percentage of dental implants are placed. Unfortunately, one of the most prominent deficiencies known to mankind is that of vitamin D, a water-soluble vitamin critical for proper immune function as well as bone homeostasis. Over the past decade, vitamin D deficiency has been observed in ~70% of the population and particularly in post-menopausal osteoporotic women where vitamin D is commonly prescribed (with various co-factors such as vitamin K) with the aim of further optimizing bone density and halting disease progression. Interestingly, recent dental implant studies have found that while smoking and generalized periodontitis is generally associated with a ~50%-200% increase in dental implant failure, studies have more recently shown that vitamin D deficiency is associated with up to a 300% increase in early implant failure. These shocking findings further highlight the fact that systemic health, including adequate vitamins and minerals, play a critical role in biomaterial/dental implant integration.

Understand biomechanics and risk factors to eliminate neck and back pain in dentistry through use of the dental microscope is the key for a prolonged efficient healthy practice. Dentistry causes neck and back pain, 1/3 of all dentist experiment musculeskeletal pain dissorders due to bad and sustained static postures. How traditional dental posture violates all of the science we have on safe work practices for preventing neck and back injuries and how the microscope can’t be beat for the 1 of the pillars of quality dentistry:Ergonomics. Positioning is also fundamental of the good use of the microscope, if why know the why we will know how.
Course Description:
We are in 2020 and, in the last 100 years, we have seen many changes in dentistry. If we focus on endodontics, we can say that big progresses have been done in the equipment and tools that we use, making our therapies faster, easier and more predictable. If I had to choose the innovation that changed endodontics the most, I would surely pick the operating microscope because the more I see, the more I can do. Of course there is a medium-long learning curve, but the benefits of using a microscope are immediate and evident. First of all, it improves the working posture, keeping the back in a straight position and diminishing the risk of developing skeletal problems over the years. From the operative point of view, the possibility of working in an magnified and illuminated field makes it possible to treat the tooth in a faster and more predictable way and, above all, to treat complex cases. In my communication I would like to emphasize the clinical advantages of using the microscope, starting from the diagnosis and going to the operative part such as: finding missed canals, removing fiber posts, treating perforations, filling apices, removing broken instruments from the canals and performing endodontic surgery.

With over a decade of scientific evidence reporting uncompromising reliability, narrow diameter implants signify a major shift in treating a greater range of patients. They are particularly appealing to those patients who previously declined implant treatment due to constraints of anatomy, fear or cost. Dentists everywhere are pausing to take note. Narrow diameter implants show high survival rates and are used clinically for immediate loading of fixed prostheses as their implant design provides high primary stability. Histological evaluation demonstrates a high bone-to-implant-contact-percentage (BIC%), similar to the BIC of conventional diameter implants. These unique implants help to avoid grafting techniques and improve esthetics with documented long-term success. The system reviewed in this course offers a full range of screw retained prosthetic options for overdentures, to single tooth, to full mouth reconstruction.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
- Recognize the indications of use for narrow diameter implants (any implant less than 3mm in diameter).
- Understand and practice both the surgical and prosthetic protocol for narrow diameter implants.

Dr. Nordland has published his microsurgical technique in several well refereed journals and also in the latest textbook “Esthetics in Dentistry”.
Course Description:
Today, dental implants have the potential to be very predictable. Do they really have a better prognosis than natural teeth? When do you “give up” and remove and replace periodontally compromised teeth with dental implant restorations? Is maintenance of dental implant similar to maintaining teeth? How to apply implants to these cases is a “scientific art” that is now the standard of care in dentistry. Predictable soft and hard tissue regeneration, so crucial to the clinical success of each case is highly dependent on the appropriate selection of material as well as the technique and approach. With abundance of newer materials on the market, the clinician is given the task to marry the right material and technique, often without much scientific guidance. This presentation will review the existing evidence on the science of osseointegration, and clinical studies that validate long-term health of dental implant restorations. What factors, if any, do play a role in the breakdown of dental implant support? What should the home care, and professional maintenance protocol be? Do the materials, techniques, and implant systems that a clinician chooses have any bearing on these factors? The presenter will highlight various innovations in soft and hard tissue handling techniques in recent years. Dr. Kim will also review the essence of implant maintenance protocols, diagnosis and recognition of peri-implant diseases, together with a systemic review as to how peri-implant break down can be prevented. Learning objectives: – Understand the biology, pathogenesis and etiology of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis – Understand how clinicians should manage soft tissue around dental implants – Understand the soft tissue-restorative relationships and how this knowledge affects the restoration designs – Understand when to probe around dental implants, and how to instrument around dental implants
Course Description:
Dr. Noumbissi: Ceramics have been able to adapt and keep up with the ever changing needs in dentistry and like many other materials and technologies they have been adopted from engineering and modified to solve clinical challenges. However the inherent brittleness, low flexural strength, fracture toughness of conventional glass and alumina ceramics have been the main obstacle for their extensive use. The discovery of ceramic oxides broadened the range of application of ceramics in dentistry and dental implantology in particular. The last decade has been one where we have witnessed an “explosion” in the use of zirconia in dentistry. Along with this phenomenon the manufacturing protocols and advanced formulas of zirconia have been created which have led to zirconia becoming a stable, biocompatible, bioinert and structurally stable implant material. Today in dental implantology there are two main zirconia ceramic implant biomaterials namely Yttria Stabilized Tetragonal Zirconia (Y-TZP) and Alumina Toughened Zirconia (ATZ). This presentation will cover zirconia as an implantable bioceramic, the rationale and the indications and benefits of metal free teeth replacement. Clinical cases completed with zirconia dental implants and prosthetics will also be presented.
Dr. Gupta: Zirconia is gaining interest as a ceramic biomaterial for dental implant applications due to its superior biocompatibility and desirable mechanical properties. The long term success of ceramic dental implants mostly depends on rapid healing with optimal osseointegration into the jaw bone. Surface topography and cellular response are crucial factors for the short and longterm success of these dental implants. This presentation will review the different surface modalities and their influence on the rate and quality of osseointegration with ceramic implants.
