Peri-implantitis: Diagnostic, Treatment and PreventionCredits: 1.5
Cost: Free
Time: 8:00 PM ET
Peri-implantitis is a progressive inflammatory condition affecting the tissues around dental implants, potentially leading to bone loss and implant failure if left untreated. This topic explores the diagnostic procedures for peri-implantitis, emphasizing clinical signs and radiographic indicators. Contemporary treatment methods, particularly laser therapy, will be examined as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical techniques. Additionally, the discussion will cover prevention strategies, including oral hygiene protocols and implant maintenance, to ensure long-term implant success. This conference will cover various aspects of peri-implantitis, from its definition to its treatment, focusing on the use of laser technology. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the latest advancements and techniques in this field, as well as the outcomes of recent research. Learning Objectives: |

Digital Tools for Implant & Prosthetic Selection to Enhance the Esthetic OutcomeCredits: 1.5
Cost: Free
Time: 8:00 PM ET
After a brief introduction on 3D implant positioning related to biological and prosthetic factors, following the most up to date scientific evidence, we’ll deep dive into the implant digital planning. We’ll explain why is so important to determine the position of the implant in the software, according to the prosthetic plan, before the surgery. In fact, the accuracy of the digital workflow can shorten the procedure time thanks to guided implant placement and easier adaption of the provisional in case of immediate loading. The use of the Artificial Intelligence in specific software can facilitate their usage, minimizing the time that we must spend at the computer, and the number of prostho component that we must keep in stock. The possibility to see the final prosthetic components can eventually reduce the invasiveness through the selection of tilted or reduced diameter implants. It also helps the clinician in understanding in advance if there is any need of soft or hard tissue grafting. It’s important to underline that a deep understanding of the analogic workflow and of the soft and hard tissue management is mandatory before expanding our practice in the digital field. The fundamentals remain the same, it just changes the environment. Beginning probably is not that easy, but after a short learning curve this enhance the esthetic outcome of our implant cases. Learning Objectives – Understand the correct 3D implant positioning. |

Ceramic Implants: A New Era in Implant Dentistry, Rationale and Clinical ApplicationsCredits: 1.5
Cost: Free
Time: 8:00 PM ET
Functional and aesthetic replacement of dentition has long been a challenge. Dental implants have been very successful in that regard and titanium continues to be the material of choice in dental implantology. However, after more than five decades of success, there is convincing scientific and clinical evidence that titanium and its alloys are not as stable and inert in the oral environment as they were once believed to be. After Overcoming early manufacturing challenges, design flaws and ceramic materials physical limitations, load bearing bioceramics have made significant strides and inroads in dental implantology. These ceramics are made from zirconia composites (ATZ, ZTA etc.) which have been commercially available and in clinical use for the last twenty years. They are highly biocompatible, hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and corrosion-free alternative to titanium and titanium alloys. This presentation will cover zirconia as an implantable bioceramic material, the rationale, indications, and benefits of metal free teeth replacement. Clinical cases completed over a decade with different commercially available zirconia dental implants systems and prosthetics solutions will be presented. Objectives: |

Failing Before Starting: When NOT to do Endodontic TreatmentCredits: 1.5
Cost: Free
Time: 8:00 PM ET
It’s a fact: perfect endodontic treatment can sometimes be unsuccessful. Unfortunately, the lack of healing can often be attributed to an inadequate preliminary diagnosis or an improper prognosis assessment. Dr. Berman will systematically review the many variables that should be taken into consideration before the bur ever hits the tooth, including endodontic case assessment, periodontal concerns, tooth restorability, and the detection and prediction of the presence of root fractures. After this presentation, you will never look at pending endodontic treatment the same way again. At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to: |

Cost: Free
Time: 8:00 PM ET
There is a myriad of dental cements and resins to choose from in the dental market.

This presentation will dive into the different classifications of cements, their indications and contraindications based upon biomaterial choice and when bonding vs cementing is indicated. Advancements of temporary cements will also be discussed along with case examples showing different indications. |
