Tuesday International Congress of Oral Implantologists Rick Ferguson, D.M.D. Weston, FL Private Practice John Russo, D.D.S., M.H.S. Sarasota, FL Private Practice, Clinical Asst. Prof., Medical Univ. of South Carolina See application on page 3. Admission by badge and ticket only. Time: 9:00 – 11:30 & 2:00- 4:30 Location: 1E15 Course: 5130 Credit: 5 CEUs Tuition: $225.00 Dentist $115.00 Auxiliary Recommended for: Dentists, Hygienists, Assistants, Lab Technicians, Students This program focuses on improving success with dental implants by planning for adequate bone quantity and quality. The use of cone beam CT technology and implant planning software is demonstrated. Multiple implant cases will demonstrate fabrication and use of surgical guides, Piezo technology for block grafts and sinus grafts and three dimensional planning of cases for maximum success. Learn to: • appreciate the advantage of cone beam CT technology in evaluating the maxilla prior to implant placement • understand the advantages of implant treatment planning software in determining bone width, height and density • fabricate a surgical guide based on the information gained from the treatment planning software • improve dental implants in the maxilla by incorporating block grafting and sinus grafting prior to implant placement Modern day Implantology in the maxilla relies on the latest techniques and technology to ensure predictable and esthetic outcomes. This includes the use of CT scan technology to treatment plan cases in 3 dimensions based on proposed prosthetic outcomes. It makes the decision whether to do ﬁxed or removable prosthetics easier to make. This technology also allows less invasive surgery and better predictability. As demands for esthetic dentistry increase immediate implant placement/temporization, use of soft tissue grafts and esthetic abutments can help to ensure long term esthetics. Consideration of tissue biotype at the treatment planning stage is also critical to esthetic success. Today’s techniques allow predictable treatment of the maxilla with better outcomes for our patients Learn: • 3D maxillary implant treatment planning • ﬁxed versus removable implant borne prosthetics • less traumatic surgery - more predictability Today’s Treatment Planning for Maxillary Implants Scan for Implant Success in the Maxilla I.

Blatz, D.M.D., Ph.D. Philadelphia, PA Prof., Periodontics, Univ. of Pennsylvania; Dir., Implant Ctr., Albert Einstein Medical Ctr.; Private Practice Prof. and Chrmn., Restorative Dentistry, Univ. of Pennsylvania The use of osseointegrated implants to replace missing teeth has become widespread and highly predictable. Exceptional levels of success have made implants the treatment of choice for most tooth loss. Dental implants are dependent upon adequate volume of bone and horizontal interdental space between implants and adjacent teeth. Clinicians have long perceived the need for a dental implant to satisfy special clinical situations. Patients with inadequate space or bone volume require a narrow diameter implant to support a functional, cosmetically acceptable tooth replacement. Implant companies responding to the problem, developed narrow diameter implants, approximately ½ the width of standard implants. Early application of these “Mini Implants” was limited to stabilization of ill-ﬁtting dentures. Learn: • the expanded use of narrow diameter implants to solve challenging conditions requiring ﬁxed implant supported restorations. Narrow Diameter Implants: Innovative Solutions to Old Problems Implants have become an integral part of modern comprehensive dental treatment, providing a reliable foundation for functional and esthetic restorations when certain guidelines are followed. Exciting advancements in all-ceramic materials, CAD/CAM technology and immediate treatment options provide the restorative dentist with an array of wonderful tools to meet the challenges of this era of esthetic dentistry. High-strength ceramic materials (i.e. zirconium-oxide ceramic) and CAD/CAM technologies are progressively applied not only for esthetic teeth, but also implant-supported restorations. CAD/CAM technology facilitates fabrication of highly esthetic and precisely ﬁtting all-ceramic implant abutments, all-ceramic multiple-unit frameworks, and even custom-made implant bars and frameworks to support ﬁxed/removable prostheses in complex cases. Learn: • guidelines for esthetic and functional success with implant-supported restorations in the maxilla The Greater New York Dental Meeting wishes to express its appreciation to the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and Dr. Kenneth W.M. Judy for their assistance with this program. Restorative Concepts for Maxillary Implants Moderator: Kenneth W.M. Judy, D.D.S. New York, NY Presiding: John S.
