PERI-IMPLANTITIS: AVOIDING FAILING IMPLANTS WITH A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO PREVENTION, DIAGNOSIS
AND MITIGATION OF AILING IMPLANTS

FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 2021

10:00AM - 1:15PM

CATEGORY 2 - 3 CE POINTS

Course Outline:

The prevalence of peri-implantitis is the new pandemic in dentistry! Some papers are quoting as high as 45%…. the same as periodontal disease. This cannot be a coincidence. There is evidence of cluster failure as well as the role that restorative and prosthetic design play in access to biofilm removal and resultant bone loss. I hope to shed some light on some of these details in order to decipher and mitigate cases coming across your office doorstep.


Learning Objectives:

  1. Discussion of the minimally invasive extraction and alveolar ridge preservation techniques
  2. How to recognize when an implant starts having a problem
  3. What are the factors that play a role in an implant’s ailing pathway?

 


"GETTING LONG IN THE TOOTH" IS JUST THE TIPPING POINT...IS IT THE INEVITABLE
PRICE FOR KEEPING OUR TEETH LONGER?

FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 2021

10:00AM - 1:15PM

CATEGORY 2 - 3 CE POINTS

Course Outline:

Gingival grafting is the first “periodontal plastic procedure” dentistry has ever done and today we have come so far from the original “FGG”. The crux of the problem of gingival recession must be further investigated and deciphered in answering why do we graft? What is our long-term goal? Is this a practical justification? What is the importance of all this with respect to implants?

Learning Objectives:

  1. What are the goals of gingival grafting?
  2. Predict recession by recognizing etiological factors playing a role in gingival recession
  3. What is the role of keratinized gingiva anyways and why is it so important?
  4. Do we always have to harvest the palate and is there any easier way?
