Aesthetics, New York University Course: 4590 Credits: 1 CEU Patients may present themselves with either too much space or a crowded dentition. Ascertaining the cause is the initial step, followed by a diagnostic wax-up to help determine treatment alternatives. Various options may be available including orthodontics and prosthetic treatment or a combination of both. How to achieve the optimal result in the least invasive way should be the goal. Diagnosis of Aesthetic Zone Space Problems In cosmetic procedures, the amount of sound tooth reduction is often related to the initial position of the teeth. To truly perform minimally invasive dentistry, minor tooth movement as a pre-operative protocol is warranted in many cases. This essay describes the use of plastic aligners, fabricated in the dental ofﬁce, to affect aesthetic tooth repositioning. Tooth Repositioning for Aesthetic Excellence Clinical cases are used to demonstrate the principles of restorative management of spatially compromised cases; advantages and disadvantages of the restorative approach, guidelines and parameters to achieve a predictable aesthetic result; and the different treatment options available depending on whether you are dealing with an insufﬁcient space/crowded dentition or an excessive space/diastemas.

Prof., Columbia University Course: 4620 Credits: 1 CEU When a patient develops TMD symptoms it is the general dentist who is asked to respond ﬁrst. Recognition of TMD signs and symptoms and initial treatment can make a big difference in a patient’s outcome. There are ﬁve simple, proven effective things to do that will help almost 80% of patients with TMD. These ﬁve things should be in every dentist’s tool kit. Controversial topics such as the role of occlusion, bite plates, both good and bad, Botox and “restoring the bite” are addressed. When to refer to the oral surgeon is also discussed. Five Things to Do for the TMD Patient Without Picking Up the Drill Partial and total prosthetic reconstruction of the TMJ is an option available to patients when nonsurgical care and less invasive surgical options have not been successful. This essay reviews the indications, surgery and clinical outcomes, both positive and negative. TMJ Prosthetic Reconstruction Research ﬁndings over the past decade have provided signiﬁcant changes in our concepts of temporomandibular joint disorders. This presentation provides the attendee with the latest concepts in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders based on current knowledge of synovial joints using the latest principles in the diagnosis and treatment. Minimally invasive approaches to treatment with a high predictability of success are emphasized. Invasive Techniques in The Treatment of TMJ Disorders Presiding: Robert P.
