Course Title: An Interdisciplinary Team Approach from Tooth Preservation to Tooth Replacement

C.E. Hours: 4 in-person clinical hours

Course Description: 

This dynamic and energizing presentation emphasizes the interdisciplinary team approach to ultimate patient care. Developing effective strategies for patient communication that both enhance case presentation and case acceptance is the key to differentiating your practice in our challenging economic environment. Emphasis will be placed on elevating the entire dental team as a key partner in care from tooth preservation to tooth replacement. A highlight of this program will be discussing numerous advancements in treatment modalities for periodontal, regenerative, and implant therapies that all have a significant impact on Comprehensive Care Dentistry. Building a solid foundation is essential to your patients’ long-term success!

 

Course Objectives:

• Understand the impact that interdisciplinary care plays in a positive patient experience
• Identify periodontal health goals that will greatly impact effective case presentation and treatment acceptance
• Highlight the benefits of growth factors in hard and soft tissue
• Define numerous advancements in technology and treatment modalities that can enhance your restorative outcomes
• Develop an action plan and decision tree to promote comprehensive patient care

Course Title: Full Arch Focus

C.E. Hours: 4 in-person clinical hours

Course Description:

This course provides a streamlined, systematic approach to full arch implant therapy, guiding clinicians from diagnosis through final prosthetic delivery. Participants will learn to plan with the end result in mind, including when to perform bone reduction, how to approach staged extractions, and how to design patient-specific dentition using digital workflows.

Attendees will gain practical insight into data collection, treatment planning with 2D simulations and facial scans, and the design and fabrication of surgical guides using accessible software. The program also reviews full arch prosthetic options, from FP1 to hybrids and overdentures, along with immediate load protocols and strategies to minimize risk.

Learning Objectives:

·        Develop a systematic diagnostic and treatment planning approach that begins with the end result in mind that you can use for every case, every time.

·        Learn when bone reduction is indicated and the various options for bone reduction guides.

·        Learn to digitally design an ideal, patient specific dentition and translate that into beautiful wax-ups and immediate load prosthetics

·        Learn staged approaches using serial extractions.

·        Learn what data you must obtain along with how to integrate and store that data.

·        Understand the various options for bone segmentation.

·        Discuss the value of 2D simulations and facial scans in the treatment planning process

·        Learn how to make complex full arch guides using both a swappable and a stackable approach

·        Master free software (Blue Sky Plan and Meshmixer) that can be used for designing guides and prosthetics entirely in-house

·        Review options for fabricating guides through printing and milling as well as when it makes sense to outsource the fabrication.

·        Understand the various full arch prosthetic options from fixed crown and bridge (FP1) to fixed hybrids and removable overdentures and how the approach will differ for each.

·        Gain an understanding of immediate load protocols and ways to reduce risks and complications.

·        Explore guided kits and surgical approaches that will help you perform efficient and minimally traumatic surgeries.

·        Hands-on exercises designing multiple types of full arch guides including soft tissue-supported, bone-supported, and stackable guides.
