I have a CBCT- Now What Do I Do? Timothy F. Kosinski DDS, MAGD Thursday, April 9, 7 p.m. CDT Credits: 1.5** Subject Code: 696 – Implant Surgical Stents Price: Member $75 Non-member $125 |
Today implant dentistry is prosthetically driven. Visualization of a completed restorative case prior to any surgical intervention can be done using CBCT scans and scanning software. This software allows for fabrication of precise planning and surgical guides, which help ensure a positive result. Once a CBCT is taken, we will discuss, in specific detail, the step by step process in designing and creating the final prosthetic reconstruction.
Learning Objectives:
- In depth diagnosis and planning for dental implants using CBCT scans from single tooth to full arch reconstruction.
- Design surgical CT guides to make surgical placement of implants predictable and effective
- Step by step process in fabricating implant overdentures, bridges, conventional and zirconia hybrid bridges.

Simplified Socket Preservation, Grafting and Ridge Augmentation John C. Minichetti, DMD Wednesday, May 13, 7 p.m. CDT Credits: 1.5** Subject code: 318 – Bone Grafting/GTR Surgery Price: Member $75 Non-member $125 |
This program is designed for dentists interested in learning bone grafting and socket preservation techniques. Participants will expand both their treatment planning knowledge and bone grafting techniques. Attendees will learn about extraction techniques to preserve the bone and gain an understanding of the different types of bone grafting materials and socket grafting techniques.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the differences between the various bone grafting materials
- Learn simple socket preservation extraction techniques
- Learn bone grafting techniques for various socket defects
- Understand the various bone grafting techniques for ridge augmentation

While esthetic and functional results play a key role when determining the overall success of an implant case, these outcomes can only be considered optimal if they are maintained over time. However, growing patient demand for shorter treatment times have pushed the development of expedited treatment protocols! These techniques represent refinements and alterations to the classic concepts of implant therapy upon which many dentists and specialists were trained in years past. Many of today’s leading dental implant systems allow for immediate loading of titanium root form implants through advances in surface technology, implant and abutment design, and CAD/CAM technology. Research over the last 10 years validates many of these key concepts, yet the techniques can be challenging at times. The risk of failure, especially with improper patient selection and poor treatment planning, remains a critical concern for any clinician involved in delivering these treatment protocols. Surgical considerations and prosthetic options must be united with a common goal of providing a total "biointegration" of an immediately loaded, implant-supported prosthesis.
Learning objectives:
- Understand
the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment planning prior to surgical
intervention.
- Determine when and where extraction and immediate implant placement is appropriate, the risk factors involved, and when a more conservative, staged approach is indicated.
- Classify case types to assist in creating predictable esthetic and functional outcomes including timing of extraction, grafting, implant placement and provisional restorations.
- Understand the importance of provisional hybrid restorations in the shaping of healed tissue contours and communication of prosthesis design to the laboratory technician.
- Understand the importance of balanced and favorable occlusal loading and the use of computerized occlusal evaluation and adjustment to achieve this goal.
**Only registered attendees will receive CE credit.
