Digital dentistry continues to be ever growing in today's dental practice. Intraoral scanning is no longer just an option in the digital workflow of today's practices, it has become more common in use. This virtual lecture will discuss how to increase efficiency and accuracy through the use of IOS technology.

Once a tooth is extracted, the natural wound-healing cascade paired with irreversible alteration occurs. Grafting techniques (hard and soft tissue) combined with the sound understanding of the surgical site theater will help the practitioner to make the proper decision in order to successfully treat their patient. The usage of biological modifiers and surgical barriers are proposed to assist in improving the predictability of the advance surgical care.

Once a tooth is extracted, the natural wound healing cascade is paired with irreversible alterations.  Grafting techniques (hard and soft tissue) and prosthetic manipulations are required to attempt reestablishing the proper hard and soft tissue losses and proper emergence profile. Grafting materials (Creos Allograft) and surgical techniques (hard and soft tissue) compounded with biological modifiers are proposed to repair and counteract the amount of ridge deformation.

Three-dimensional navigated implant placement offers much more than routine surgical accuracy and precision. Patient-satisfying immediacy can become a realistic routine option. Learn how to harness the power of 3D Dynamic navigation for surgical procedures and prosthetic planning.

With the impact of COVID-19 on the productivity and patient flow on dental practices, it is more important than ever to complete cases when scheduled.  That is to say, a followup appointment to deliver an adjusted crown is not welcome due to the inconveniences and burdens of disease prevention. 

This webinar addresses delivery of the On1™ concept and ASC/FCZ crowns and makes a good case for installation of a desktop ceramic furnace  in your general practice to give same day deployment capability.  The workflow is a partnered workflow with the surgical office providing the fixture level scan for fabrication of final prosthesis and delivery in one appointment by the restoring doctor.  Using some basic lab techniques, this one appointment “ideal” case course can become the norm in your practice.

Digital technology to enable clinicians to convey all the information to create the virtual patient, diagnose and plan prosthetics and implant surgery is utilized more than ever. This lecture will detail the use of the digital workflow for the placement of immediate implants and immediate provisionalization which has been shown to provide optimal preservation of soft and hard tissues which is paramount in the esthetic zone.

Application of autologous concentrated growth factors (CGF) and platelet rich fibrin (PRF) within dentistry.

Why not maximize what our patients can provide? Do you want to improve on your clinical outcomes and GBR (guided bone regeneration) procedures? Would your patients benefit from better outcomes and quicker healing? By drawing our patients’ blood and placing those vials into a centrifuge machine we are able to obtain concentrated growth factors that can improve our clinical outcomes, decrease healing times and discomfort, and improve our quality of bone. We will be discussing and demonstrating how to draw and centrifuge blood and make CGF (concentrated growth factors) membranes and AFG “sticky bone” (autologous fibrin glue). This process can be coupled with a variety of procedures to improve your clinical outcomes such as GBR, GTR, sinus lifts, and more.

The restoration of dental implants has become routine and the esthetic results that can be achieved with components and materials readily available yield predictable results.  However, the misuse of these components and their “compatible” counterparts can lead to complications we all would rather not encounter…or cause.  We can learn from these complications and use that information to avoid or minimize their occurrence going forward.  Dr. Ludens will draw on his own practice experience, the experience of other clinicians, and tie that experience together with the science behind the successful implant and restorative components.  Viewers of this webinar will learn this science in an easy to understand format and take home practical tips and information that can be incorporated immediately into their implant restorative practices. 

An implant-supported restoration in the anterior esthetic zone can be a daunting challenge.  Using techniques and materials currently available, this restoration can now be fabricated predictably with a highly esthetic outcome.  Using real patient examples, Dr. Ludens will discuss the workflow and the application of the process to make it simpler and more predictable, using several techniques for temporization and creating esthetic and anatomic soft tissue contours, quick (and critical) custom impressions, and lab communication skills to ensure a quality final result.

Dental implants provide an elective treatment alternative to traditional crown and bridge and have a high rate of success. As with any surgical procedure, especially those which are considered elective, there are potential risks which must be considered and mitigated. These risks can be related to poor patient selection, improper treatment planning, poor/ lack of prosthetic planning, limited knowledge of potential risks and inability to manage complications. This Webinar is focused on providing dental practitioners with the recommended steps involved in delivering safe, predictable and successful dental implant treatment for their patients.

Achieving anterior implant esthetics is a challenging and demanding procedure. Scientific advances along with breakthroughs in implant designs are constantly challenging the status quo.. The purpose of this presentation is the understanding the biologic and physiologic limitations of the soft and hard tissue along with the properties of the implant device in a quest to achieve predictable esthetic restorations

Ceramic dental implants were introduced to the market as a metal-free option to patients and have become more popular in the last few years. Another advantage of the ceramic dental implant is improved aesthetics in patients with thin gingiva in the aesthetic zone. The NobelPearl™ ceramic dental implant is a metal free option, with the carbon fiber screw. Due to the difference in the ceramic properties as compared to titanium, handling of these implants during placement and restoration requires additional training. This webinar will introduce you to the benefits and reasons why you should consider incorporating ceramic dental implants into your practice.

Treatment of patients with a terminal or failing dentition is a clinical challenge. Today’s patients have high education levels, and even higher expectations, leading to rejection of removable prostheses. Immediate implant placement and temporization has revolutionized dentistry, allowing optimum patient treatment. However, this technique is challenging, and requires clear communication between all team members. If the surgeon, prosthodontist, and laboratory technician collaborate well, outcomes are excellent. However, that is often not the case, and complications occur for a variety of reasons. This course will help all team members identify the inherent problems encountered in treating this group of patients, and how to minimize patient complications.

Please join Alan Hollander, CEO & Founder of ePractice Manager, as he provides an insightful lecture on how to address patients’ current #1 concern: their physical health. These effective concepts will help update your practice messaging, increase case acceptance, deliver more treatment, and ultimately increase your patients oral and overall health.

There’s never been a more important time to connect than now. The brain easily remembers which is most frightening and who was there when it was. A lot of people are running for the hills during this uncommonly stressful time. However, the opportunities are much bigger now than they were when things were status quo. This is a rare opportunity to help others and build lasting trust that sets you apart for your future.

New developments in digital treatment planning, intra-oral scanning, and traditional workflows, have improved the treatment planning process and the final outcome for patients. These advances have streamlined the patient workflow and have created a more effective method for communication among the specialist, the general dentist and dental laboratory. Learn about these techniques and how to create your own Treatment Efficiency Network.
