This seminar is presented by Centaur Software, creators of Dental 4 Windows - Australia’s Leading Practice Management Software.

A comprehensive knowledge and understanding of oral and maxillofacial anatomy is essential for successful implant placement. This seminar will review the main vessels and nerves of the head and neck, proving a sound basis for implant placement with minimal risk. Everything you should know but may have forgotten.

Although dental implants have predictable outcomes in most clinical situations, sites with inadequate bone quality and quantity remain a challenge. In addition there is a greater demand for reducing treatment times from placement to restoration. To meet these challenges, ongoing research in implant design, surface modifications and clinical techniques continue. This lecture will examine the clinical significance of recent developments in implant surface modification.

Limited Places

This program is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of bone and soft tissue harvesting and augmentation procedures relating to implant dentistry. A thorough overview of current clinical and scientific trends, diagnosis and treatment planning considerations, along with anatomical factors and anomalies will be presented.

This program will consist of lectures, workshops, technique exercises on cadavers/pig jaws, videos/live surgery and case presentations.

Program Content

• Clinical aspects of advanced implant reconstruction
• Treatment planning (including NobelGuide™) and execution – coorinating surgical and prosthetic stages
• Radiographic assessment
• Extraction – site management
• NobelActive™ implant system
• Immediate vs. delayed implant placement
• Flap design – primary closure techniques
• Tissue (hard and soft) preservation, reconstruction techniques and parameters
• Simultaneous implant placement and guided bone regeneration
• Management of anatomic factors and anomalies
• Preserving ideal gingival contours and the interdental papilla
• Functional provisionalisation techniques
• Esthetic crown lengthening for restorative dentists

Hands-on Laboratory

Participants will practice split and full thickness incisions, atraumatic flap elevation and implant osteotomy preparation on pig jaws or cadavers. Implant placement in deficient ridges, bond graft harvesting, membrane management, fixation, connective tissue graft, periosteal release and tension free closure of flap margins will be demonstrated.

Dental Pursuit 2008 is an interactive full day event comprising series of lectures, interactive case studies and a panel discussion delivered by some of Australia’s leading dental specialists

Dental Pursuit 2008 will provide the audience with:

· An understanding of the complexity of dynamic biofilms.

· An overview of evidence-based efficacy for the use of antimicrobials, leading to practical clinical recommendations.

· An understanding of the impact of oral disease on systemic health.

· A background of expected clinical outcomes associated with antimicrobials for the control of dental diseases.

· Knowledge of the implications of future therapeutic developments in the treatment and control of periodontal diseases.

• Concepts associated with Endodontic instrumentation
• Describing the crown down technique and its benefits
• Discussing the instruments and equipment required during treatment
• The importance of Endodontic diagnosis and case planning
• How to integrate these concepts and instruments into your practice. The lecturers will describe the techniques they use in their personal practise of Endodontics including the use of FlexMaster and Mtwo
• How the apex locator can benefit Endodontic treatment.
• The status of current Endodontic obturation techniques

This session deals with cement vs. screw in prostheses - their indications and complications. Implant overdenture bar design and attachment selection for the maxilla and mandible and the step-by-step removable prosthesis fabrication are presented. An Intraoral photography section is included to assist with medico-lagal doccumentation. Methods of determination of vertical dimension and maxillo-mandibular relationships are presented.
Occlusal considerations, overdenture design according to implant and or soft tissue support are presented to simplify denture manufacture and enhance prosthesis and implant longevity.
