Modern techniques and materials for oral soft tissue regeneration - soft tissue substitutes or autogenous tissue?

Saturday, Sep 17, 2022  |   8:30 am to 12:30 pm  |   Hands-On Workshop

​

Course Description: 

Today, implant and reconstructive therapies include a variety of clinical steps to optimize biological and esthetical outcomes. Soft tissue grafting procedures are considered an integral part of implant therapy and various techniques and materials are applied at different time-points. Whereas autogenous transplants are still widely used, they are associated with major disadvantages, most prominently the associated morbidity. Therefore, more recently, a number of soft tissue substitutes, predominantly collagen matrices have been developed and some of them demonstrate favorable clinical success and less morbidity compared to autogenous grafts.  This half-day workshop will not only give participants the chance to understand the importance of soft tissue grafting procedures in implant dentistry but also the opportunity to perform the procedures on their pig jaw.

BEYOND SDF: MINIMUM INTERVENTION AND ATRAUMATIC RESTORATIVE TREATMENT Symposium AND HANDS-ON COURSE

Saturday, Oct 1st, 2022  |  8:30 am to 4:30 pm  |  In-person Lecture or Livestream

​

Sunday, Oct 2nd, 2022   |  8:30 am to 12:30 pm  |   Lecture/Livestream and Hands-on Workshop

​

Course Description: 

This symposium will demonstrate how to successfully incorporate these effective therapies into practice. The different sessions will not only cover the scientific evidence, but participants will also learn the principles of case selection, informed consent, treatment planning, and clinical protocols for SDF and ART. An optional hands-on portion of the symposium will allow for participants to practice and apply these techniques. Less invasive options like SDF and ART have the potential to modify current approaches in pediatric dentistry, geriatric dentistry, dentistry for persons with special health care needs, and public health dentistry. Equally important, in general dental practice, SDF and ART have the potential to offer more effective treatment and improve patient satisfaction.

​

Sunday, Oct 16, 2022   |  8:30 am to 4:30 pm  |   Live patient clinical workshop 

​

Course Description: 

Third molars are routinely encountered in general dentistry practice. It is essential that dentists have a basic understanding of the natural history of third molars, which teeth require removal and the ideal time to intervene. This course aims to provide dentists with this essential knowledge and the basic skills to treat the “ideal” third molar patient in their practice. Moreover, attendees will develop important skills in patient evaluation and case selection to avoid failed extractions and adverse outcomes. Attendees will have the opportunity to watch recorded surgeries performed by the faculty with commentary to gain an understanding of the techniques employed. Furthermore, on Day 2 participants will be able to bring their own patient to perform third molar surgery under the guidance of the course instructors.

Saturday, Mar 18, 2023  |   8:30 am to 4:30 pm  |   Hands-On Workshop

​

Course Description: Mucogingival Therapy (Saturday, Feb 18, 2023)

This full-day, hands-on course will give the participant the opportunity to go through the diagnostic, treatment planning, and executive process of applying various mucogingival surgical therapies within the realm of periodontics. After a brief introduction, a discussion about pre-surgical assessment will follow. The participants will then be introduced to their patients for the day – fresh pig jaws.

The first part of the morning session will entail a brief discussion of indications and contra-indications to augment attached gingiva via a gingival graft. Each participant will perform the procedure on their pig jaw. The morning session will continue with root coverage for treatment of recession. Indications and contra-indications for this procedure will be presented, as well as a step-by-step sequence for how to execute treatment. Treatment will focus on a classical approach to a single tooth recession. Each participant will perform the procedures on their pig jaw.  A break for lunch will follow.

In the afternoon, the focus will shift to more advanced techniques for root coverage, as well as techniques for treating recessions on multiple contiguous teeth. Techniques employing both autogenic and xenogenic soft tissue grafts will be covered. All participants will once again get a chance to perform the various techniques on their pig jaws.

​

Course Description: Osseous Resective Surgery (Saturday, Mar 18, 2023)

This hands-on course will give the participant the opportunity to go through the diagnostic, treatment planning, and executive process of applying osseous resective surgical therapies within the realm of periodontics. After a brief introduction, a discussion about pre-surgical assessment will follow. The participants will then be introduced to their patients for the day – fresh pig jaws.

The first practical exercise will be a suturing lesson. Conceptual and technical fundamentals of the most common suturing techniques will be presented, and each participant will have the opportunity to practice them.

The remainder of the morning will focus on osseous resective surgery as relates to a mandibular crown lengthening procedure. Indications and contra-indications for this procedure will be presented, as well as a step-by-step sequence for how to execute treatment. Each participant will perform the procedure on their pig jaw. A break for lunch will follow.

In the afternoon, participants will have another opportunity to perform an osseous resective procedure, but this time it will be for a maxillary pocket reduction, as performed in the definitive treatment of periodontitis. An emphasis will be placed on the special techniques for reflecting a palatal flap, as well as incorporating a distal wedge procedure.

Diagnostically Driven Dentistry

Saturday, Mar 25, 2023  |   8:30 am to 4:00 pm  |   Lecture and Active Learning Workshop

​

Course Description: 

In dentistry, superior diagnostics create more efficient methodologies, resulting in better decision-making and, ultimately, a higher quality of care. These diagnostics can actually reduce costs to the patient by creating far more customized approaches to their dental care and ideal treatment plans for long-term success. This course will take the attendee into modern-day diagnostics and demonstrate why the GP must be in control in how they integrate treatments with their specialists. 

​

Highlights of the lecture include: 

- An update on “what’s best for the patient” 

- Why the 2d imaging is limited and we need 3D to help with proper diagnosis 

- Today’s ideal initial exam, getting treatment plan acceptance and giving patients the best information possible and create great images that facilitates the communication 

- Diagnostic guidance you can take back and apply in your dental office 

​

​This course will use "Anatomage" software for the exercises - participants must bring a PC laptop for this course as the software does not run on Apple devices.
