 28th Annual Chautauqua Dental Congress June 25 ~ 27, 2008 Lectures convene 9am Wednesday, Thursday & Friday mornings...Hall of Christ, Chautauqua Institution Wednesday June 25, 2008 Solving Implant Complications * Dr. Othman Shibly Solving Implant Complications * Dr. Othman Shibly Dental implants are a well established treatment option (success rate over 95%) for replacing missing teerth. However, implants face similar problems to those of natural teeth, such as gingival recession, bone loss, infection, etc. Even well integrated and functional implants may lack esthetics and a satisfactory appearance. In other cases, even implants appearing successful may lack a good long-term prognosis. Benefits of Attending - Become familiar with... - Treatment of implant problems related to gingival recession and bone loss - How to save vs. remove an implant - Solving the esthetic challenges of implants related to gingival recession - Procedure of guided tissue regeneration around implants Course Objectives 1. Diagnose implant problem(s) 2. Identify how best to maintain long term success rates 3. Change short term poor prognosis to long term good prognosis for ‘questionnable implants’ Thursday, June 26, 2008 How Not To Kill Your Patients & Ruin Your Day (and Theirs, Too!!!) Drs. Dave Croglio & Patrick Anders Medically compromised patients are no longer a rare occurrence in dental practices. The population is aging, and living with increasingly complex medical conditions. It has become more and more essential for dentists to understand the implications of this fact in delivering dental care. This presentation will provide a practical approach to treating patients that are seen every day in dental practice. Discussion will include: review of common medications, tests and laboratory values that you need to know, dental implications of common medical conditions and the influences these conditions have on dental treatment planning. The demand for removable prosthodontic services is projected to significantly increase over the next 15-20 years. This fact seems to contradict the recent advances in the dental science of prevention, however the changing patient demographics and the higher lever of functional and esthetic expectations from patients have fueled this increase. The development of communication skills for clinicians and technicians is essential for predictable esthetic and functional success for complete and/or partial dentures. Review and update of basic removable prosthodontic procedures, concepts, and materials. Emphasis will be placed on edentulous anatomy, simplified impression procedures for complete & partial dentures, posterior denture occlusion, and the development of skills of communication between the clinician and the laboratory technician. |
