Learn Digital Planning, Molar and Incisor Replacement, GBR and Soft Tissue Grafting, Smile Design and Esthetic Implant Therapy

LECTURES & LIVE SURGERY
Restorative and esthetic topics involved in osseointegration and implant prosthodontics will cover multiple teeth, and single tooth restorations. Live surgery by faculty will show the step by step of surgical implant placement, tissue management and regeneration and pre and post op work up.

9 HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS
9 Hands-on workshops with plastic and fresh porcine jaw models will be performed over the 5 days. The placement of 12 dental implants using microsurgical Hu-Friedy hand instruments, nylon and PTFE suture materials, W&H drill units, Straumann BLT, BLX and TLX implant systems, GBR bone regenerative biomaterials, digital photography steps and 3Shape scanning protocols are performed by the class.

DIGITAL WORKFLOW
The digital workflow with implant planning using the Co-Diagnostix software (class students have 1-year free access), the 3D printing of surgical guides and provisionals will be highlighted.

Move beyond line-item dentistry and handle complex cases using the fully integrated, digital interdisciplinary patient care dream team. Explore a fully digital workflow that totally integrates the restorative dentist, all specialists, and the patient and you will have:

• Interdisciplinary care with an airway focus and facially generated treatment planning
• Increased case acceptance due to better patient communication that highlights treatment value
• Better communication with interdisciplinary patient care team, including your medical team
• No need to translate into “analog” – wax-ups, impressions, study models, etc.
• Learn the latest innovations in skeletal expansion, Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy and customized guided orthognathic surgery.

Ortho, Perio, Surgeon, Pros, GPs … if you care about top tier multi-disciplinary airway focused patient care, show up for this unique course! This course is built for the IDT Team and is meant to change your practice forever!

Course Details
Cadaver Lab
1. Grafting for simple & complex extraction sockets
2. Horizontal ridge augmentation, including suturing techniques and membrane stabilization.
3. Use of palate free soft tissue substitutes
4. Principles of autogenous soft tissue harvest

Learning Objectives
1.Evidence based approach to understanding: Incision designs, anatomical considerations, stabilization principles with hard & soft tissue graft placement.
2. Choice of grafts (xenografts, allograft, combinations) for specific anatomical and surgical objectives, including different tissue biotypes. Tissue behavior and graft behavior with tissue interface.
3. Differences in tissue handling with split and full flaps, and their subsequent mobilization with graft materials.
4. Use of adjunctive tools like bone scrapers, pins, for obtaining optimum results.
5. Soft tissue augmentation with autogenous and xenogenic substitutes.

Midwest Society of Periodontology is pleased to present Facts, Fiction, & Controversies of Biological Agents – a one-day clinical education course in Biologics for Periodontal and Implant Surgery. The course is intended to educate on the benefits and limitations of biologics from internationally recognized colleagues in regenerative medicine and provides insights on their experiences direct from their practices.

Highlights:

- Better understand AAP’s Best Evidence Consensus and where each biologic performed best.
- Explore the ideal mechanism of action for each biologic, understand where clinically they perform the best and where their limitations lie.
- Gain insights from regenerative experts on their experiences with Emdogain®, Infuse™, PRF, & GEM 21S®.
- Collaborate and network amongst peers to elevate regenerative medicine in your practice.
- Earn 7 CE hours.

The Guided Bone Regeneration Course is a two-day intensive training course offering hands-on skill development and best practices to perform advanced socket grafting and ridge augmentation in clinical practice. This session will review appropriate incision designs for guided bone regeneration, flap management, minimally invasive techniques to harvest autogenous bone, material selection, handling of biomaterials, and techniques to maintain space. There will be a special focus on stabilization of the graft/membrane complex with periosteal biting stabilization sutures and simplified techniques to achieve tension-free primary closure.

This course addresses general dentists and periodontists who intend to learn more about the use of regenerative and esthetic procedures in periodontology.

​Advances in cell and molecular biology have contributed to increased understanding of wound healing of various tissues, and revealed a great complexity of processes involved. In general, the outcome of wound healing can be characterized either as repair, i.e. scar tissue formation that differs in form and/or function from the original tissues, or regeneration, i.e. form and function of the lost tissues is restored. A large body of evidence has established that polypeptide growth and differentiation factors, natural biological mediators critical to development of tissues and organs, may support wound healing/regeneration creating an environment conducive to and/or immediately inducing de novo tissue formation.

The better understanding of the biology combined with improved surgical techniques yielded to clinical concepts enabling predictable treatment outcomes in intrabony and furcation defects. Recently, the use of biological active molecules such as enamel matrix proteins in conjunction with innovative surgical techniques such as the Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel (MCAT) with or without connective tissue grafts or collagen matrices has been proven a predictable technique to treat single and multiple gingival recessions and to correct various types of soft tissue defects around teeth and dental implants, improve tissue thickness and avoid scar tissue formation.

Presentation of clinical cases, schematic drawings and video presentations will demonstrate the clinical applications of various techniques to achieve periodontal regeneration and improve esthetic outcomes.

Esthetic dentistry is not about mere improvement of superficial appearance. How does esthetic enhancement serve our patients if there are underlying problems that jeopardize its maintenance? Enduring esthetics can only be achieved through restoration of health. This requires a holistic approach to consider the whole patient. This educational event will bring together leading experts of periodontology, prosthodontics, orthodontics, implant dentistry, oral medicine and restorative dentistry.

These experts will discuss some of the most relevant topics in clinical dentistry, including peri-implantitis, periodontitis, worn dentition, immediate implant therapy, ceramic implants, oral pathology, airway health, orthodontics, occlusion and osteoporosis medications. This is an event which is appropriate for clinicians of all disciplines. Hope to see you there.
