8:45am-4:15pm (6 CE credits)
Providing the esthetic restoration for the implant patient has been the main focus of Implantology for the last several years. The comparisons of the implant/gingival complex to the natural tooth/gingival complex are significant, and play an important role in the successful aesthetics that can be achieved in single and multiple tooth implant restorations. Incorporation of basic periodontal/prosthetic principles into the immediate restoration procedure have provided the vehicle whereby realization of these goals can be achieved. This program will provide a comprehensive review of surgical and restorative principles necessary to predictably achieve esthetics in single and multiple tooth implant restorations. The review will include ideal surgical stent design (The TempStent IITM method), minimally invasive implant placement, the immediate restoration of implants in single and multiple sites, and minimally invasive bone grafting techniques. Simplification of the entire implant surgical and prosthetic procedure is the main goal of this lecture. Multiple cases will be presented, with statistics presented on the success rate of over 2500 sites using the Immediate Restoration procedure compiled by the presenter.
Learning Objectives:
- To maintain and sculpt natural soft tissue emergence profiles in the esthetic zone
- To maintain emergence profiles around dental implants in the esthetic zone
- To utilize appropriate abutment design and fabrication as a tissue sculpting and maintaining abutment
- Blend minimally invasive surgically approach’s with advanced cosmetic dentistry procedures
Paul S. Petrungaro, DDS, MS, FICD, FACD, DICOI graduated from Loyola University Dental School in 1986, where he completed an independent study of Periodontics at the Welsh National Dental School in Wales, U.K. He completed his residency in Periodontics & has a specialty certificate in addition to a Master of Science degree in Periodontics from Northwestern University Dental School. He is the former Coordinator of Implantology, Graduate Department of Periodontics, NWU Dental School. Dr. Petrungaro has been in the private practice of Periodontics and Implantology since 1988. He has given numerous seminars and lectures on advanced periodontal, prosthetic and implant interrelationships, bone regeneration and aesthetic tissue formation, the use of transitional implants, the immediate restoration of dental implants and the use of platelet rich plasma in bone grafting throughout the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia, South America, and Isreal. In addition, he has authored numerous articles on all of the above along with the topics of cosmetic bone grafting and esthetic implant procedures. A consultant to numerous surgical companies and laboratories, Dr. Petrungaro contributes to many new innovations in the aforementioned disciplines of surgical dentistry. He is a fellow of the International & American College of Dentists, and a Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.
