The dental assistant's guide to surgical set up will take you through the protocol for setting up the surgical suite and the instrumentation for placing Nobel Biocare™ implants.

This lecture will show you the systematic way to evaluate the treatment planning of edentulous patients, especially the edentulous maxillary patients.

This course presents the treatment of the edentulous patient using guided surgical techniques. Advanced techniques, including All-on-4™ and Zygoma implants are discussed.

The role of all ceramic material in prosthodontics will be reviewed.

Provisionalization goals and implementation. Managing the non- ideal implant position. Multiple missing teeth in the anterior segment.

An evaluation of abutments and restorative technique. Aesthetic restorative realities and limitations. Final crown design and a rationale for selecting screw retained vs. cemented final restorations.

This course covers the clinical procedures for the placement of a NobelProcera™ zirconia crown.

The future of implant loading protocols is moving toward a differentiation strategy of “when” and “how” to favour modified clinical protocols, and when to follow more traditional staged treatment sequences.

This lecture will focus on the dynamics of gingival tissue, and how it responds to immediate, compared to delayed from a scientific and clinical perspective. The key points for achieving optimal gingival esthetics will be discussed.

This clinical demonstration will address the challenging interplay with the surrounding gingival framework, an understanding of how to treat and enhance tissue form in conjunction with implant treatment is a crucial element.

Diagnosing cases and case acceptance for ITR. Immediate temporization concepts and abutment choices. Final restorative design and loading period.

This lecture covers the various principles and procedures of accurate impression taking.

Esthetic predictability is based on a comprehensive communication between the dental technician and the clinician. The esthetic checklist as in a important tool to help both in a organized method to setting a prognosis for the perfection driven smile restoration.

What is the difference between a normal tooth and an implant? What is the critical size? Why do implants avoid resorption, and give us more esthetic?

The NobelActive™ implant has some key features that make the restorative implant phase predictable and very esthetic. This presentation will demonstrate two anterior cases utilizing the NobelActive™ implant, Procera Zirconia abutments, and Procera crowns.

NobelActive implants do not cut through bone like conventional implants, they gently press through it like a corkscrew. This bone condensing capability delivers high initial stability.

Course goals and a rationale for selecting case types and implant system(s) will be presented. An understanding of restorative methods and goals will be developed.

Methods to simplify restorative case work up. Surgical template/guide design. Case planning and a rationale for numbers and positioning of implants. Fail safe impression techniques to make implant dentistry easier than conventional.

This course will review patient preparation, operative room preparation, surgery, post-op care, 2nd stage procedure and clean-up.

This program is a discussion of the methods and materials effecting the preservation of hard and soft tissues in the esthetic implant case. Surgical and prosthodontic procedures are discussed, along with implant design features that can facilitate the successful case.

This program reviews the essential components and appointments required to complete implant cases. Operatory room setup, materials, procedures, and implant component inventory are illustrated.

How to communicate with the prospective implant patient from initial phone call through diagnostic appointments and to case presentation.

This program reviews the essential components and appointments required to complete implant cases. Operatory room setup, materials, procedures, and implant component inventory are illustrated.

This presentation will provide treatment planning, indications and expectations for different restorative options for the edentulous jaw.

In this course we will show you a single tooth replacement case from initial consultation and diagnosis to final restoration.

This course presents the techniques of speaking with a patient using a defined process designed to increase case acceptance. The skills and techniques used to communicate effectively with the patient are discussed.

This program reviews the essential components and appointments required to complete implant cases.

The treatment of the fully edentulous patient with computer assisted tomography, computer assisted surgical planning software, and a guided surgical technique using a stereo-lithography surgical template for implant placement has five-year clinical studies reported.

To achieve an ideal prosthetic result with dental implants, it takes proper treatment planning. This presentation will discuss the advantages of guided surgery in treating patients with this advancing technology.
