     “Flap Design and Suturing Techniques” (9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon)

This one-day hands-on program will provide the clinician with the knowledge to understand and perform surgical flaps. Often overlooked, the opening and closure of the flap are the alpha and omega of treatment. These essential techniques will be discussed and shown. Dr. Michael Sonick will mentor participants as they perform these procedures on models. Flap Design The first step to successful surgery is choosing the proper surgical technique and flap design. This step is crucial for teeth removal, bone grafting, implant placement, periodontal surgery, ridge augmentation, and mucogingival surgery. Proper flap design provides clear exposure and access. The following will be discussed: incision design around teeth, implant incision technique, full versus split thickness, releasing incisions, the use of vertical incisions, and tension free closure. Suturing Ideal surgical outcome requires good wound closure and stabilization of re-approximated flap margins. It is often challenging to achieve proper closure and wound stability with the multiplicity of surgical techniques. Tension free closure is ideal. This course will explore the variety of techniques to close wounds. The various types of sutures and suturing techniques will be shown. Some or all of the following procedures will be performed on models. • Socket preservation • Single tooth • Posterior maxilla • Anterior maxilla

“The Use of Bioactive Bone Grafts and Barriers in Periodontics and Implant Dentistry” (1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.)

Bone grafting can be confusing. A multiplicity of techniques exists to regenerate bone around teeth (GTR) and in preparation for successful dental implant therapy (GBR). Ideal bone regeneration and wound healing is dependent upon choosing the proper surgical technique and correct combination of bone graft material, growth factor and barrier membrane. A bone grafting algorithm that leads to consistent success will be discussed. At the end of this presentation the viewer will understand: • The types of bone grafts available • The value of a barrier membrane and how to use it. • The use of growth factors in bone grafting success • How to combine and time grafting to achieve predictable success around teeth and in preparation for dental implant therapy

“Periodontal and Surgical Management of Immediate Single Tooth Replacement Therapy in the Esthetic Zone”

Implant dentistry is continuously evolving offering new and more predictable forms of therapy with minimally invasive protocols. Innovative techniques now allow for better esthetics, decreased treatment times, and greater patient comfort. However, these new techniques and therapies continue to raise questions and concerns regarding the risk and rewards of each. Specifically, controversial issues regarding immediate postextraction socket implant placement in relationship to survival and esthetic outcomes. Immediate provisional restoration of immediate implants placed into healed [delayed] or augmented sites will be presented. In addition, this lecture will address current concepts [i.e. platform switching], techniques, clinical research, histologic evidence, and innovations in immediate implant placement and provisional restoration and how they can enhance treatment procedures, time, and clinical outcomes for greater patient comfort, care, and satisfaction. After this presentation, the attendee should be able to understand the following concepts associated with immediate implant placement and provisional restoration: 1. Understand the treatment time and survival rates associate with immediate protocols 2. Treatment objectives of immediate versus delayed provisional restorations 3. The prosthetic and biologic impact on hard tissue buccal contour change and peri-implant soft tissue thickness 4. Understand potential complications associated with immediate implants 5. Impression-making and cementation techniques 6. What are layperson’s perception threshold of facial-palatal collapse

“Implants in the World of Aesthetics” (9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon)

New protocols have now been established that use digital design and technology to help clinicians get better and more predictable results for anterior implant restorations. Current concepts of anterior abutment design will be discussed and demonstrated. Using provisional restorations and sound digital imaging techniques we can place implants in the proper areas to optimize implant aesthetics. Differentiating the type of soft tissue, bone levels and CBCT analysis can help the clinician make critical decision that will help the overall outcome of these types of treatments. Materials and selection of various ceramics and combination Implant-Veneer restorations will also be discussed. Finalizing all the patients’ treatments with prosthodontic occlusion principles will allow our patients restorations to have a long-term prognosis.

“Lateral and Vertical Bone Augmentation Techniques for Perfect Implant Position

The expectations of our patients concerning perfect aesthetics, functionality and phonetics demand a high standard of implant skills. Today’s patients are also expecting to have an immediate restoration after losing their teeth. Although the success rate of 90-95 is impressive, we should try to avoid the 5 to 10 percent of failures and complications. The new technique of 3D planning and navigation could bring us closer to this goal. By using CBCT (Cone Beam CT), the dentist is able to carry out perfect implant planning. Both the position of the implants in the vicinity of anatomical structures and the future prostheses can be planned exactly. To optimize this technique in the daily practice, we use different augmentation techniques to achieve perfect implant position. - Lateral ridge augmentation with particulate materials and membranes. - Bone splitting and autogenous bone blocks - Bone spreading techniques to improve bone density and for close sinus elevation. - Different locations for bone harvesting procedures All of the above mentioned techniques will be demonstrated step-by-step. The instrument needed will be presented as well as clinical cases with long term success (over 18 years) will be presented

Based on scientific research and clinical experience the lecture will illustrate different approaches in regenerative surgery including:

1. The use of different biomaterials and membranes in regenerative dentistry and their biological implications on final result.

2. Different surgical protocols in Guided Bone Regenerations procedures: resorbable and nonresorbable membranes, tent techniques, individualized titanium mesh procedures.

3. Soft tissue development prior to bone regeneration procedures

4. Modyfied Autogenous Bone Block Techniques in ridge reconstruction

5. Alveolar ridge split techniques.

6. Allogen Grafts –indications and risk factors

7. The role of treatment planning in respect to implant position, timing of implant surgery, sequence of regenerative procedures.

8. Advantages and disadvantages of different surgical procedures.

9. Treatment of complications after Bone Regeneration Procedures.
