Do you extract teeth in your practice? Are you able to provide bone grafting with those extractions? Join us in learning how to discern when grafting is needed and understand the mechanism of bone grafting and physiology. We will discuss the types of bone grafting materials available, the Seibert Classification in ridge augmentation, the role and timing of bone grafting in implant dentistry, how to talk to your patients about the need for bone grafting with every extraction, and how PRF improves your patient outcomes.

The proper fit and function of a restoration plays a HUGE part in long-term esthetics and success. We will review esthetic considerations of the gingival tissue and the role of dental restorations and occlusal considerations. Several anterior esthetic surgeries will be analyzed step by step. Evaluate when to provisionalize before soft tissue procedures. Distinguish what happens when implants are placed in a patient that has not finished growing. Assess altered passive eruption, uneven gingival margins, and consequences of biological width violation and review embrasure formation to avoid restorative complications.

Get better treatment outcomes with LASERS! This presentation will highlight Laser Assisted Surgery in the treatment of Periodontal And Peri-implant Diseases using two wavelengths of Nd:YAG and Er:YAG. Be able to provide successful clinical antimicrobial results for decontamination and debridement of periodontal pockets as well as smear layer removal and decontamination of implants without altering the implant surface.... a key step in the treatment of failing implants. Other applications to be discussed are extractions, tori reduction, apico surgery, socket decontamination, and osteonecrosis treatment with photobiomodulation. 

That implant doesn't look so good....now what? Is it peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis and what stage of periimplantitis? This course will help you be able to troubleshoot issues with implants (ie. when abutment and crown keep getting loose and why and how to avoid), describe the indications and contra indications for immediate implant placement, and understand the role of abutment selection in the success of Implant restoration as well as identify treatment options for periimplantitis.
