Are you using your electric Surgical “Implant” motor to its full extent? Join us to review the W&H Implantmed Plus Surgical motor system and the various surgical handpieces that can help you in your practice – every day. Experience greater cutting power and reduced aerosol with the use of sterile irrigation along with handpieces that can be taken apart for optimal cleaning, longevity and reduced repair bills.

Reconstructive procedures in periodontology aim at regenerating the lost periodontal supporting tissues which have been lost following periodontal disease. The presentation will answer the question on the clinical benefit of reconstructive procedures in intrabony and furcations defects for improving tooth prognosis and provide the clinician with an evidence based clinical concept for using these procedures in various clinical scenarios. Moreover, new data from preclinical studies and clinical case series have shown that the use of certain volume stable collagen matrices may have a positive effect on stabilizing the periodontal wound and the flap thus enhancing wound healing/regeneration and may be of potential clinical relevance..

Case acceptance in the hygiene department is vital to the well-being of our patients and our practice. In dentistry, we are typically great at explaining what needs to be done and how we are going to do it, but rarely touch on the "why" behind the treatment. Join us to learn the 5 vital steps for better communication and increased case acceptance.

Coronavirus poses a much higher risk to people living with pre-existing conditions and systemic inflammation. Now more than ever, it is imperative that we consider the role we play as true health care providers to support our patients to optimal oral and overall health.

Now that your clinic is up and running, you are slowly but surely seeing all kinds of patients, performing all types of procedures. Your infection control is now outstanding! but are you prepared to save a life? Are you confident to overcome a medical emergency? Tune in to our online webinar for tips and tricks on Emergency Preparedness in the new NEW!

Following tooth extraction, the alveolar ridge undergoes physiological remodeling that results in vertical and horizontal volumetric osseous reduction, an increase in soft tissue thickness, and a narrowed band of keratinized mucosa.Previously published systematic reviews have demonstrated that a substantial loss of alveolar ridge volume following tooth extraction may compromise a future implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis. Therefore, maintaining the post extraction dimensions will minimize the necessity for alveolar ridge augmentation prior to implant placement.

This is Part 2 of a 2-part series with Immediate dental implants are an accepted contemporary treatment option for the replacement of missing teeth. One pitfall of immediate implant use, however, is the inevitable residual space that remains between the implant and the socket wall which can result in bone loss and formation of a bony defect. We will review the current evidence on how to manage this bone void at the time of implant placement to optimize long-term clinical outcomes.

Full mouth immediate load will be discussed from a unique prospective. The patients perspective . Testimonials from 2 weeks after to 8 years after treatment will be shown. We will look at the long term failures and what we have learned over the last 10 years, is it acceptable to treat everyone with one paint brush? We will demonstrate both surgical and prosthetic techniques using the latest treatment options available in immediate load. We will also look at some common errors and causes of failure both in the short term and long term. Surgical augmentation both hard tissue and soft tissue will be shown, that are used to correct these failures. Finally we will conclude that there is another option, a hybrid option that has better long term success both from the patients perspective and clinical perspective.
