Course Title: Optimal Solutions for Achieving the Esthetic Restoration In the Atrophic Anterior Maxilla

Presenter: Dr. Ted Korin

Course Date: September 23, 2017 (Saturday)

Course Time: 8:45 AM – 11:15 AM EST

Course Description:

The “team approach” and “prosthetically driven implant restoration” have been the focal point of many implant presentations. Now more than ever, with the use of computers and CT scans, treatment can be prosthetically driven. When abundant quantity and quality of bone is present, computer generated stents make life easy in terms of implant placement and prosthetic success. Treatment of the atrophic maxilla is by far the most challenging area to restore. During the discussion, various grafting techniques will be reviewed to ensure adequate quality and quantity of alveolar bone. Provisionalization of the grafted case with transitional implants will be shown. Emphasis will be placed on utilization of the Nobel Biocare Procera software for fabrication of the maxillary NobelGuide surgical template and immediate loading the fixtures. A comprehensive step by step plan will be reviewed for restoring the full maxillary arch dentition using NobelGuide protocol.

Most importantly, OSHA serves to protect your most valuable resource: your staff. In this informative and inspiring course, OSHA-Authorized Outreach Trainer Rick Garofolo breaks out the OSHA requirements that apply specifically to dental offices and how to ensure you are compliant. Understand why OSHA inspects your office and what they are looking for, gain an increased understanding of Bloodborne Pathogen and HAZCOM requirements, and much more!

Review guidelines for evaluating your current OSHA Plans and Programs to ensure compliance
Identify the OSHA standards as they apply to dental offices
Understand the importance of OSHA and how it applies to your practice
Learn how to develop an effective and compliant training schedule for your staff
Identify how to conduct a worksite Hazard and Personal Protective Equipment Assessment
Acquire knowledge about Bloodborne Pathogens and understand the elements of a written Exposure Control Program

Course Description:

A tooth extraction without socket grafting produces up to 60% shrinkage of bone as the hard and soft tissues heal. In the “smile zone,” this defect causes a significant esthetic challenge. You and your patients will appreciate the esthetic and functional advantages of socket grafting. There are many materials available for simple, fast, predictable grafting. When patients are educated about the desirability of socket grafting, most accept the procedure. Whether you are planning an implant when the socket heals or placing a pontic in the location of the healed socket, grafting is a proven and desirable procedure. Included in this presentation are: grafting materials, membranes, and step-by-step easy procedures. Patients will appreciate having this procedure done, if you only tell them about it. Make socket grafting a routine part of your practice!
