Additional Veneers as spirit of the time

In all industrialized country we have a decrease of tooth loss' incidence; at the same time the demand of restorative dentistry for aesthetic reasons is exponential increased.
All aesthetic material required the same or even more sacrifice of tooth structure than the traditional PFM.
In clinical situations were teeth are intact or only little compromising the aesthetic improvement has unjustified biological costs (that will affect the Patient for all life)
Additional veneers are preparation less reconstructive ceramic laminate that can improve the Patient' aesthetic maintaining intact the structure of the teeth.
In this clinically oriented presentation the authors presents the technical and clinical way to the construction of additional' veneers and solve a clinical situation.

New horizons in adult orthodontics: where is the limit?

In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of adults receiving comprehensive orthodontic treatment. In clinical practice, management of adults may be somewhat different than for most adolescents. Adults are more likely than adolescents to have dentitions that have undergone some degree of mutilation over time, which may necessitate alterations in the treatment strategy. Excessive wear, missing and compromised teeth are some of the differences observed. For adult patients who have experienced bone and attachment loss as a consequence of periodontal disease, a new set of biomechanical requirements exists for producing the tooth movements desired during the orthodontic therapy. Proper planning and appliance design for adults presenting with multiple missing teeth may require some degree of creativity to adapt to unique malocclusions and deliver the proper biomechanical force system. In this presentation, current clinical application of biomechanical principles will be presented with emphasis on clinical orthodontic management of severely mutilated dentitions.

Excellence and Rational Approach in Post-Endodontic Composite Restoration

At present day tooth preparation, using correctly adhesive materials and techniques, and performing tooth-colored restorations are the major objectives of modern restorative dentistry also in post-endodontic restoration.
Rebuilding an endodontically treated tooth usually requires an immediate coronal seal to prevent bacterial microleakage and consequently the failure of endodontic treatment. We can preserve a great amount of sound enamel and dentin if we restore anterior and posterior tooth with direct composite. We need to minimize tooth preparation and to achieve a proper indication and technique to use the post or realize a core built up. It must be considered the great opportunity of indirect adhesive restoration to delay the full crown.

The use of composite in simple to complex functional and aesthetic rehabilitations: “a lot better than what we might think!”

Due to the tremendous progresses made in their optical properties, wear resistance and application technique, modern composite resins offer conservative, biological and aesthetic solutions to many problems, which formerly could only be approached by expensive and more invasive ceramic restorations. In addition, composite resins allow the aesthetic concerns of many patients to be fulfilled, without creating additional damage to remaining, healthy tissues. Recently, composite resins have even received attention for the treatment of complex abrasion/erosion cases. Practically, their only remaining drawback is practitioner experience and knowledge of their broad potential in restorative dentistry.
This program will cover treatment rationale and integration of direct composites in a comprehensive approach to dental aesthetics and occluso-functional rehabilitations; a detailed description of clinical procedures will complete the program and provide attendees with a full topic picture.

Conquering the Challenge of Minor and Major Defects in the Aesthetic Zone: Improving the Results with Teamwork

Minor and major defects in the aesthetic zone often confront dentists with the limitations of the periodontal and prosthetic treatment options. It is important to understand these limitations. Proper diagnosis, analysis and treatment planning will minimize failures, and teamwork is essential in this part of the therapy. This lecture will focus on the dentist’s communication with the lab technician and the patient in order to maximize the final result. Once the treatment plan is established it is important to minimize treatment time and trauma. Choosing the proper prosthetic components in restorations is crucial to achieving state-of-the-art aesthetic and functional results.
Upon completion of the presentation, attendees should be able to:
n Improve flow of treatment and treatment time.
n Establish a protocol for analyzing the problem.
n Evaluate prosthodontic and periodontal implications of treatment planning.

New Approaches in the Restoration of Complex Cases Including CAD/CAM-Technology

Highly predictable results in the restoration of complex cases necessitate the approach of clinical and technical aspects in teamwork between dentist and dental technician. Templates generated from the diagnostic wax-up and provisional restorations play essential roles in the communication between patient and the dental restorative team. Since CAD/CAM-technology has accessed innovative restorative materials like high-density polymers, new treatment options are available for long-term provisional restorations as a functional and esthetical test drive of the final restoration. The lecture will present new restorative approaches following a strict protocol in team communication to economize tooth structure removal according to material requirements and to reduce the risks of failures by an extended provisional.

The fields of guided tissue and bone regeneration have undergone a change in paradigms over the past several years. Conventional procedures to regenerate oral tissues lost to disease or trauma most often involve the use of barrier membranes. These techniques may foster selective cell repopulation and regrowth of the periodontium or osseous structures. Since the predictability of these methods may be limited to certain case types, efforts have begun to investigate the possibility of harnessing the regenerative potential of recombinant molecules. Numerous proteins have been identified that are potent biologic mediators which promote many of the events in wound healing including cellular proliferation, chemotaxis and connective tissue matrix synthesis. These effects are most apparent in the cells involved in tissue repair such as mesenchymal cells, osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Clinical results demonstrate a striking regrowth of periodontium or bone utilizing recombinant molecular mediators.

BPS – Biofunctional Prosthetic System
The treatment of edentulous patients under consideration of function, phonetic and aesthetics

Further education in the field of complete and partial dentures has not been very popular lately, particularly when comparing it to fixed prosthetics. Nevertheless, there is still a great demand for this kind of dental treatment in daily practice, and to some extent, even a growth trend is noticeable.
The successful fabrication of conventional dentures or implant-supported hybrid prostheses for edentulous patients presupposes a perfect communication between dentist and dental technician.
The aim of this presentation is to review the basic steps to determine the intermaxillary-relationship and to present an attractive clinical and technical concept including the innovative BPS System.
Beginning from the fabrication of preliminary impressions and establishing of a correct vertical and horizontal intermaxillary-relationship by using the Centric Tray which is an important and critical step during treatment of edentulous cases, until the individualised determination of an optimised jaw-relation, this presentation includes an attractive clinical concept.
Furthermore all-important technical steps according to the BPS philosophy will be presented and detailed discussed.
A clinical and technical treatment concept covering all-important aspects from first impression to incorporation of finished dentures on the basis of teamwork between dentist and dental technician is presented.

Contemporary endodontics: saving the natural tooth!

New imaging techniques, electronic devices for determination of endodontic working length, highly flexible NiTi instruments for the preparation of even severely curved root canals, the dental operating microscope and advanced obturation techniques and materials have enabled the clinician to perform high quality treatment with predictably high success rates. On the other hand microbiological research has clarified the nature and extent of the bacteriological problems (biofilm) the clinician is facing when treating a tooth with a necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis. To overcome these microbiological problems simple devices such as a rubber dam and a thorough concept of disinfection (irrigation and medication) are mandatory.
The lecture intends to present an actual concept for endodontic treatment based on current knowledge on microbiology and to demonstrate when and how certain instruments can be useful adjuncts in such a contemporary treatment concept.

COMPOSITE ARTISTRY - SIMPLIFIED

The greatest impact of cosmetic or esthetic dentistry is providing patients with beautiful smiles that enhance self-esteem and encourages referrals. However, materials and techniques have undergone significant evolution in recent years and dentists are challenged to keep current. In addition, esthetic standards have been raised and quality outcomes redefined by today’s educated patient. This presentation will illustrate the use of Empress Direct (Ivoclar), a new naturally shaded composite system, for treating anterior restorative needs and elective cosmetic enhancements. The logical, conservative techniques shown will lead to results that please the patient and the dentist.

Implant position and subgingival contour for harmoneous Gingival line in Esthetic zone

The dental treatment spectrum has been changed and improved dramatically since implantology has been introduced in dentistry last few decades. There is no doubt about osseointegration between implant fixture and alveolar bones. Even with the help of GBR and other wonderful procedures, patients with compromised dental conditions can be treated with implant treatments. However, patients expectations on dental treatments are rising higher. Patients are more interested in not only functions but also aesthetic and comforts.
In order to achieve aesthetic results it is necessary to analyze tooth morphology and gingival morphotye to establish natural looking gingival line. Every patient has different conditions to start with and there exist some requirements to be applied to each patients. For esthetic implant treatment result, three dimensional position of fixture placement and super structure form from the fixture should be well understood and evaluated.
In this context, the lecture describes some necessary conditions for constructing aesthetic and physiologic super-structures, abutment and final prosthesis, in implant treatments. Decision making criteria on fixture placement based on vertical position, mesio-distal and bucco-lingual angle will be covered as well as proper subgingival contouring management when constructing supra structure of implant prosthesis based on tooth morphology and gingival morphotype. Aesthetic implant treatment results following patients' own gingival line can be achieved when those conditions are satisfied.

Titanium is clinically successful and well documented in implant therapy. The increasing demand of metal-free therapeutic solutions advances the development of all-ceramic reconstruction. The material performance and the clinical success of all-ceramic reconstructions will be discussed.
The decision of using either metal or all-ceramic abutments is based on criteria including material science, clinical performance and aesthetics. Clinical and experimental data will provide information on the color-change effect of all-ceramic restorations, based on all-ceramic abutments compared with PFM restoration based on titanium abutments on marginal peri-implant soft tissue. Decision criteria will be formulated in order to chose between all-ceramic abutment and crowns as well as titanium abutments and porcelain fused to metal crowns.

Immediate versus Delayed Implant Placement in the Esthetic Zone: Science, Art & Limitations

Achieving anterior implant esthetics is a challenging procedure. To create implant restorations with harmonious gingival contour that emulate nature is a fusion of science and art. Understanding the biologic and physiologic limitations of the soft and hard tissue will facilitate predictability in simple to complex esthetic situations.
This presentation will focus on current implant treatment philosophies and methodologies on immediate versus delayed implant placement in the esthetic zone. Equal emphasis will be placed on the diagnosis and treatment planning, surgical, prosthetic and complications management of soft and hard tissue for optimal anterior implant esthetics.

The Role of the Dental Hygienist in Treatment of Peri-implant diseases

Recent studies seem to confirm that peri-implant infection may represent the most frequent implant treatment complication in the long run. This condition may lead to the loss of the implant with all related consequences easy to foresee. The presentation will first focus on early diagnosis and factors related to peri-implantitis and relative preventive measures. Treatment of initial peri-implant infection will be illustrated by clinical cases and basic principles of non-surgical approach addressed. Clinical evidence is increasingly demonstrating that a strict maintenance is crucial to obtain healthy peri-implant tissues, and therefore instructions to the patients have to be precise and thorough.

Indirect techniques for conservative aesthetic restorations: evidence based approach for a predictable result

A beautiful smile is the first wish of our patients: this result can be often achieved with materials and clinical procedures that save the tooth structure and require a low biologic sacrifice.
Nowadays, there is a huge employment of indirect techniques in aesthetic restorative dentistry, because the new adhesive technologies, together with the evolution in the aesthetic materials (resin composites and ceramics) allow obtaining predictable and easily controllable results over time. This can be achieved with a strict observance of the operative protocols.
This speech will define the guidelines to be followed, analyzing the state-of-the-art of the techniques and materials available to reach a good result in indirect restorative dentistry.

Balancing the critical inputs to successful treatment in implantology: cooperation between the clinician, technician, and technology

Esthetic implant restorations are still challenging procedures, despite the rapid advances in treatment methods and the expanded options that they provide. A successful approach to esthetic treatment involves a high degree of systematic diagnosis, planning and implementation. This goes hand-in-hand with ongoing training and education for the whole clinical team to ensure consistency and predictability. In particular, it is essential that the clinician and the technician work closely to define a clear path to achieving the optimal smile for each of our patients.
Among others, the lecture will focus on new techniques to optimize the implant restoration’s emergence profile and achieve predictable, natural esthetic results.

Bisphosphonate Induced Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (BIONJ)

Both oral and intravenous nitrogen containing bisphosphonates cause Bisphosphonate Induced Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (BIONJ). Intravenous BIONJ cases are more severe and less amenable to office based debridement surgeries. Preventive dentistry measures that avoid extractions, dental implant surgery, and periodontal surgery can prevent many cases. In cases of established intravenous BIONJ palliative management with antibiotics and 0.12% chlorhexidine can be used versus continuity resections for cure.
Oral BIONJ cases are mostly due to Alendronate. The same prevention approach applies as with intravenous bisphosphonates. However, treatment for resolution can be accomplished with a drug holiday guided by serum CTX testing and local debridement surgery in most cases.

Lasers in Endodontics, Cavity Preparation and the Treatment of Hypersensitive Dental Necks

Among many other indications for the use of lasers in dentistry, there are three fields of application, where the laser has brought major proceedings and specific advantages: Endodontic treatment, cavity preparation and the treatment of hypersensitive dental necks. Different lasers are being used in root canal preparation, disinfection of canals and surrounding dentinal tubules. Thus laser treatment will significantly ensure the long term success of endodontic treatment. Other wavelengths are used in the fields of cavity preparation: The Erbium laser group. Enamel and dentin can be ablated without thermal side effects due to the photo ablative impact of the wavelengths. Composite restorations can be placed without acid etching because of the retentive surface delivered by the laser. The CO2 laser (10600nm) is widely used in surgery producing very satisfying results. Another application for this wavelength in conservative dentistry is the treatment of hypersensitive dental necks. In most cases one appointment is sufficient to achieve permanent freedom from pain even in patients who suffer from severe symptoms.

Cosidering Factors for Maxillary Posterior Implantation with Sinus Augmentation

Implant has become a very common therapy within dental area.
However, annual increase in trouble cases brings demand for secure implant therapy. Especially, implantation of maxillary posterior area can be challenging because of various reasons including atrophy of remaining bones. In many cases, it requires sinus augmentation as well. If sinus augmentation fails, it can bring complication such as maxillary sinusitis and existing bone destruction from inflammation. Both complications often cause patients to suffer from aftereffects. Accordingly, discussing the guideline for sinus augmentation is important.
Currently, two methods are used in Maxillary sinus floor elevation which are Lateral approach method and Internal approach method. There are various divergent opinions about guidelines for different situations because of advantages and disadvantages of both methods.
In this presentation, I would like to talk about considerations in performing Maxillary posterior implantation and my efforts for secure sinus augmentation.

Periodontics-Orthodontics: CBCT enhances multidisciplinary outcomes

The classic meeting-point between periodontics and orthodontics is in the management of patients with plaque-induced inflammation. Today this relationship is broadened to include periodontal-plastics, reconstructive, and dental implant procedures all with a goal of enhancing overall orthodontic outcomes. The advantages of three-dimensional imaging offer the most exciting cross section of perio-ortho multidisciplinary cases. This presentation focuses on our most interesting cases, and highlights CBCT usefulness in enhancing treatment outcomes. Cases shown will include trauma, exposure of impacted teeth, dental implants, skeletal anchorage (TAD’s), and Case’s protocols for more predictable and reliable outcomes.

Stem Cells for Grafting of the maxilla in combination with dental implants

Disadvantages of autologous bone for augmentations are the limited availability and the necessity of an additional surgical procedure.
Ideally, less invasive regenerative procedures are used under outpatient conditions, using only autologous material with boneforming ability.
In a RCT 45 sinus were augmented with BioOss and stem cells (test) and 25 sinus were treated with a mixture of BioOss and bone (control). Biopsies were obtained 3 months later. New bone formation was comparable between both groups with less donor site morbididty in the test group.
Further investigations are necessary to determine the possible future role of stem cells in augmentation procedures.

Mr. Stefan Schunke

I was born in 1958 in Leverkusen/Germany.
In 1976, I started an apprenticeship as a Dental Technician in Leverkusen/Germany. After graduation in 1980, I attended a course in waxing up and Gnathologie. Since then I have been highly interested in the occlusal surfaces of the fully operational, esthetical and healthy set of teeth and wanted to learn about the fundamental. This is why I started to work for Mdt. Bölte in Düsseldorf/Germany, worked for them for three years and got my degree as a supervisor externally. Several courses followed that added to my knowledge. Through theses classes I recognized the value of the biomechanical waxing up from M. H. Polz. In 1988, I started working for the "Zahntechnisches Laboratorium M.H. Polz" and became partner. Since 1991, M. Polz jr. and I are partners and owners of this laboratory.

The human and his dentures - or - the dentures and his human?

This lecture is under the main topic of occlusion. Now we can talk about the occlusal stops and the different movements. The single teeth of their own, the morphology, the stops and the knowledge of the movements are one point. But this is only a small part of the world called "patient or human". But with the treatment the dentist and the work of the technician influences much more.
In this lecture will be discussed the relationship between posture-muscle-teeth and of course occlusion and movements. How can we correct managing or placing the teeth in a three dimensionally area? With the according background knowledge a correct Model analysis can help the dentist to decide the best treatment plan. Because what happens during lifetime the patient we can find on the teeth and especially on the model. If this is true we must find the same in the face and on the posture of the patient. With this it will be carve out the relationship between function and esthetic. We will talk about different plans and the difficulties and what plan we can use.
All this will be shown with cases.

Prosthetic and Laboratory Considerations in Single Tooth Restorations in the Esthetic Zone - Predictability Through Connectional Approaches

Proper diagnosis and planning of implant placement and the restoration are prerequisites for predictable, functional and esthetic restorations. Implant placement must be as optimal as possible in saggital as well as vertical position according to the size of the tooth to be restored. This is especially true in the anterior region, where esthetics becomes the utmost challenge to the dental treatment team. The strict observance of the treatment and laboratory protocols enables the treatment team to maintain a high level of reproducibility. Cooperation among the treatment team: surgeon, restorative dentist and technician is mandatory to achieve a predictable, functional as well as an esthetic performance of long lasting restorations that blend in perfectly and emerge from the peri-implant sulcus in harmony with neighbouring teeth.
We firmly believe that only the compliance with a tight treatment concept together with perfect team-work as well as some experiences will lead to the desired results. It is the aim of this lecture to show various solutions of superstructures and laboratory procedures for anterior restorations with the importance of the above mentioned cooperation to finally achieve optimal results.

ANTERIOR COMPOSITE RESTORATIONS: ACHIEVING NATURAL ESTHETICS WITH A CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT

Today's dentist has a wide choice of restorative materials available when replacing missing or damaged tooth structures in both anterior and posterior teeth.
Anterior restorations can be made with ceramic or composite. With ceramic we can do just indirect restorations like full crowns or veneers. The indirect technique however requires a dental preparation with a certain sacrifice of sound tissues.
Direct composite restorations, at the contrary, allow a more conservative treatment with a minimal dental substrate removal.
Since introduction in dentistry of composite resins, those materials have undergone a tremendous development and their adhesive properties on both enamel and dentin have been constantly improved, allowing a more conservative approach during the tooth preparation. Patients’ demands for a more aesthetic and metal-free restoration on posterior and anterior teeth increased during the last decade focusing the interest of the dental profession towards aesthetic restorations with composite resins.
However, it is vital that the treating clinician have a thorough understanding of the principles that lead to a successful outcome.
Naturally appearing and problem free outcome can be achieved if certain rules are followed by a conscientious operator.

SAVING THE NATURAL DENTITION OR EXTRACTION AND IMPLANT THERAPY

The evolution of dental therapy is currently undergoing a major "paradigm shift" due to the advent of predictable implant therapy. The factors influencing this shift affects every discipline of dentistry from periodontics, oral surgery, endodontics, orthodontics to restorative dentistry. The inclusion of implant therapy has altered the criteria for treatment planning of retention or extraction of a diseased dentition. Understanding and communicating the various options and their ramifications becomes more critical in patient education and case management. There are numerous factors to be considered in this important decision making process which will be addressed in this presentation.

Immediate loading : what applications can we expect in the future?

The widespread therapeutic use of dental therapeutic alternative under certain implants over the last 20 years has led to the revision of several aspects of the original two-stage Brånemark protocol, developed early in the 1970s. After using the single-stage approach as a valid treatment procedure for many years, one of the most dramatic changes in implant dentistry has been the increased acceptance of immediate loading protocols as a viable therapeutic under certain circumstances. The ultimate goal of an immediate loading protocol is to reduce the number of surgical interventions and shorten the time frame between surgery and prosthetic delivery, all without sacrificing implant success rates. These new protocols will ultimately lessen patient’s reservations and result in increased acceptance of implant therapy. Before embracing the procedure as a routine treatment, the immediate loading technique needs to be validated with a significant number of clinical cases, extended follow-ups as a clear definition of limitations. Immediate occlusal loading procedures can be successful only when the amount of micro-motion at the bone-implant interface is kept beneath a certain threshold during the healing phase. This procedure, although predictable, is technique-sensitive and should be applied cautiously. A gradual and progressive approach to immediate loading is therefore recommended.
The program will address a variety of topics related to immediate loading in different clinical situations: edentulous mandible and maxilla, partially edentulous patients from single tooth to multiple unit. A review of the available literature will be presented along with the biologic rationale for Immediate Loading. The case selection process and step by step surgical prosthetic procedure to achieve a predictable result will be discussed.
Learning objectives:
- learn the most predictable applications of immediate loading according to the available literature
- examine the biologic rationale for immediate loading
- learn the predictors of clinical success: ideal case selection, site and surgical related factors

Zirconia Restorations; Color Evaluation by Spectrophotometer and Porcelain Build-up Method

We have been told that Zirconia coping has a strong opacity, but in clinical cases we can see that in strongly discolored case, the tone of the color can permeate through the coping. In a strongly discolored case like this, it is necessary to add the right amount of opacity to the coping in order to create the esthetical color build up. Therefore, it is important to understand the final restoration and the die color accurately, and by analyzing the color in numbers made possible to create the chart of the recommended masking material. Also, by using the spectrum photometer to analyze the shade color in three dimensions, we are able to choose the right porcelain powder to minimize the remake of restoration, and also examine the porcelain build up technique will be done.

Aesthetic with implants is not a Coinsidence

The proper localisation of implants plays a major role in immediate and late Implant Placement for a Successful Treatment.
When the anterior teeth are afflicted with the loss of soft and hard tissue after naturally healed extraction socets, the prosthetic of the patient from the aesthetical point of view leads mostly to dissatisfactory results. What are the reasons for good results? Under which conditions can a good result be expected.
Should the loss on hard tissue be regenerated via the "guided bone regeneration" method in order to achieve a better level of red aesthetics? These methods must be predictable. This presentation covers latest techniques in the field of Implants and Aesthetics. A convincing treatment concept for extraction sockets (socket preservation), in which implant placement can achieve good results after several months will be presented. The technique of Bone Rings: "3-Dimensional Vertical Bone Reconstruction in One Step Procedure" is very promissing. The augmentation of bone defects and the insertion of dental implants in a single surgical procedure with using an Cortico-Cancellous Autogeneus Grafts from the chin　can reduce the treatment time and achieve aesthetical excellent results.

The evolution of dental ceramic on implant and natural teeth related to dental aesthetic results.

The use of CAD-Cam techniques in dental field has revolutionized the dental techinician practice.
Systematic use of information technology in the lab together with traditional handicraft demands us to study to discover new prospects.
The actual change is also underlined by new materials,such as zirconia for its aesthetic outcomes and bio-functional results.
Companies put a lot of effort to improve quality relating to dental ceramic and we expect they will improve even more.
Zirconia is an innovating product that gives interesting prospectives in the traditional ceramic topic but its recent attainment does not give us the chance to deeply know its full potential, differently from allumina which I think has more pros at the moment.
