Implant Retained Overdentures for the GP: The removeable, implant prosthodontic standard of care for over 20 years

The 2002 McGill consensus statement, recommending mandibular two-implant overdentures as the first-choice standard of care for edentulous patients, ushered in a new era of care for patients who had struggled for many years with conventional prostheses. For the first time in its history, the world of removable prosthodontics gained a significant body of clinical outcome data to support recommending this treatment modality. This one-day program will provide general dentists with a profound understanding of what it means to be completely edentulous as well as how patients with a terminal dentition can benefit from the transition to an implant retained overdenture. A series of case histories will highlight the diagnostic criteria, treatment planning sequence of care and the associated maintenance involved in providing this treatment modality. A hands-on training exercise will help familiarize general dentists with the implant prosthodontic components involved.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the reality of the Completely Edentulous Predicament
• Work through the steps involved in Overdenture Treatment Planning
• Gain a better understanding of the required implant overdenture maintenance as well as the management of common complications
• Become familiar with the implant prosthodontic components required for the prescription of implant retained overdentures

This 2-day program will show case all the steps involved in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and execution of immediate provisionalization for the full-arch hands-on training, you will understand this remarkable same day solution for completely edentulous patients and those with a terminal dentition.

• Case selection and treatment planning.
• Pre-operative, surgical and prosthodontic workflows. 
• Hands-on experience for the conversion of a removable complete denture into a fixed immediately inserted transitional prosthesis.

Implant Surgery & Restoratively Driven Treatment

• Treatment planning & Nobel Clinician
• Anatomical considerations & biology
• Proper implant placement in 4 dimensions
• Single tooth implant surgery (Hands-on)
• Multiple tooth implant surgery
• Edentulous implant surgery 
• Implant placement (Hands-on) 
• Basic suturing techniques & flap design (Hands-on)
• Bone physiology & healing • Implant pharmacology 
• Stage 2 implant surgery & soft tissue considerations (Hands-on)

El concepto de tratamiento All-on-4® ofrece a los pacientes edéntulos y potencialmente edéntulos una prótesis de arcada completa sobre cuatro implantes el día de la cirugía consiguiendo así pacientes satisfechos con respecto a la función, la estética, los sentidos, el habla y la autoestima. Además, el concepto de tratamiento All-on-4® se puede combinar con un protocolo quirúrgico guiado.

En este curso se revisarán las ventajas de estos protocolos para el paciente y el cirujano, como mayor previsibilidad y seguridad, y se revisará el procedimiento paso a paso incluyendo la parte protésica.

Advanced Soft Tissue Management around Teeth and Implants

This course is designed for general practitioners and interested clinicians to provide them with the essential knowledge and hands-on experience needed to improve patient outcomes in soft tissue management around teeth and implants.

Learning objectives:

• Accurately diagnose mucogingival defects, understand their etiologies, and explore the science behind soft tissue management.
• Development of a decision-making framework for soft tissue management around teeth and implants.
• Learning flap design and management of recipient sites for single or multiple tooth recessions.
• Learning harvesting techniques of donor sites including free gingival grafts and various techniques for connective tissue grafts.
• Compare autogenous tissues with biomaterials used as alternatives in soft tissue management.
• Refine advanced suturing techniques to improve clinical outcomes in soft tissue surgeries.
• Understand strategies for preventing and managing complications following soft tissue procedures.
• Hands-On Training: A two-day hands-on workshop utilizing pig jaws to practice:
  • Free gingival graft and connective tissue graft techniques
  • Advanced suturing techniques

This small group comprehensive 2-Day program focuses on the merits of embracing Immediacy as a patient centered implant prosthodontic treatment solution. Through a series of live and previously recorded surgeries, formal presentations, group discussions and hands-on training, dental teams will become familiar with the merits of Immediacy Protocols for both the single tooth and full arch solutions. Particular emphasis will be placed on how best to have the entire team embrace and advocate for Immediacy Protocols to be adopted in dental practices.

The predictable management of the Maxillary Sinus requires an understanding of treatment options including direct and indirect site preparation for placement of dental implants.  Having confidence in treating the posterior maxilla is essential for being able to manage full mouth oral rehabilitation.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the role of posterior dentition in dentition stability
• Identify the pathology related related to Maxillary Sinus and appropriate treatment options
• Learn the surgical approaches to managing the Maxillary Sinus (direct and indirect techniques)
• Understand essential management of Soft and Hard Tissue
• Extrusions of the Posterior Maxilla
• Review case studies including 30 year follow-up
• Review Essential criteria for successful bone grafting
• Learn Soft Tissue Management for Bone Grafting (appropriate incisions, site exposure, closing and suturing for advanced bone grafts)
• Learn about Advanced Particulate Bone Grafts
• Know the use of Biologics in Bone Grafting (PRF, PRP)
• Review of case studies of Advanced Bone Grafts in both Simple and Advanced Prosthetic Cases
• Learn the basics of Ridge Expansion Grafts
• Learn the basics of Block Bone Grafts (donor sites, allograft blocks)
• Understand the mechanics of Lateral Positioning of the IAN
• Understand Complication Management Strategies
