Contemporary patient expectations have made esthetics a major
requisite of all treatment plans, especially in situations where there
is a high smile line. Although new restorative materials have highly
improved predictability and esthetic outcomes, soft and hard tissue
management play a fundamental role when working in esthetic areas.
To achieve ideal esthetics, preservation of the natural soft and hard
tissue architecture is a primary clinical objective.

StreSS diStriBution coMPariSon
BetWeen iMPlantS and teeth
The stress distribution of load in implantology compared to a tooth
is dependent on the mechanical values of its components. A tooth
is considered to be a graded material, composed with natural stress
breakers and able to reduce forces substantially before they impact
the bone. On the other hand, an implant is not a gradient material and
the distribution of load is different compared to a tooth. understanding the distribution of a load and how it is reduced before impacting
the bone is emphasized; biomechanical values are compared. effects
of the difference of these values are discussed.

Worldwide, more than 31 million persons suffer from dementia, with
50-60% having AD and these numbers are estimated to double by
2030 and double again by 2050. it is accepted that inflammation is
involved in the pathogenesis of AD, but it remains unknown to what
extent peripheral inflammation and infections and dysbiotic conditions play a role. Periodontal disease could contribute to the pathogenesis of AD by increasing brain amyloid load and promote cognitive dysfunction. This presentation critically reviews the evidence
supporting a link between periodontal disease and AD.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major health problem in the aging
population (estimated prevalence of about 30-80%). Severe OSA is a
risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular disease in middle aged
men. OSA has also shown to increase the risk of developing dementia in late-life. Studies suggest that OSA may be a new contributor to
cognitive decline in the elderly population. This program addresses
the detrimental consequences of OSA in patients with a neurodegenerative condition, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Medically compromised patients need to maintain their oral health.
Therefore, a working knowledge of the plethora of medically complex
conditions is a critical necessity for the practicing dental professional.
This program identifies some of the most common medical disorders
encountered in a dental practice and provides practical information
to minimize or prevent potential problems which are related to the
patient's general health and dental care.
