Program Overview "Implant Prosthetics, from Diagnosis to Delivery"
The Lecture Part of the Seminar will Allow Attendees to Learn:
How to distinguish a pathologic occlusion from a physiologic one; How to perform a clinical exam of the TMJs Doppler auscultation, load testing and its clinical restorative significance. How to analyze a patients presenting occlusion the functional analysis. Proper use of a semi-adjustable articulator and face bow and why it is so important to use one. The significance of centric relation from a diagnostic and reconstructive point of view. Centric relation bite recording techniques for analyzing an occlusion and reconstructing implant cases. How to alter vertical dimension of occlusion scientifically and predictability to create shallow guidance. A must know for implant success. Proper occlusal appliance therapy how to recognize the dangerous bruxing patient and how you can restore them with implants. Which patients can be treated predictably with implants and which ones you should proceed with caution and why. The proper thought process to follow when diagnosing and treatment planning an implant reconstruction; from single tooth to full arch type cases. How implant reconstructions fail and how to avoid their failure. The difference between how implants vs. natural teeth respond to occlusal forces. How bone responds to different types of load and its significance to implants. The significance of diagnostic wax ups, tooth placement guides and CAT scans. Step by step procedures (from impression to delivery) for fabricating an implant supported, fixed for cement prosthesis, from single tooth to full arch type cases. Proper occlusal adjustments from single tooth to full arch type cases. How to create an "implant protective occlusal scheme." Post-Op care - 1st year is critical. Implant esthetics - how to make your prosthesis look natural. Soft tissue esthetics - how to maintain papillas around implants. Detailed clinical case presentations demonstrating all of the above topics.
The Hands-on Part of the Seminar will Allow Attendees to: Use a Doppler on the TMJs Take face bows Take two different types of centric relation bite records and learn how to verify them Analyze mounted models on a semi-adjustable articulator Analyze condylar movement and determine its significance on a semi-adjustable articulator Take an implant level impression Pour soft and hard tissue implant models How to fabricate chair side, implant supported provisionals
