Implant Care- Today's Perspective
Stephen Campbell, D.D.S., M.M.Sc, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry
The introduction of osseointegrated root form dental implants and their evolution has dramatically changed the face of prosthodontic care and the treatment of our patients with partial and complete edentulism. However, the reality is that only a small percentage of patients with partial and complete edentulism are treated with implant-supported restorations. This is the result of a variety of complex practice, patient and educational forces.
With the aging of America, the numbers have become staggering. More than 35 Americans are completely edentulous in at least one arch, and 178 million of us are missing one or more teeth (NHANES data). The impact on your practice and/or educational environment is very real. What would you want for yourself or a close family member?
The presentation will consider the current environment and solutions for providing the most appropriate care for all of our patients. The presentation will provide clinical examples and techniques (e.g., immediate placement, custom healing abutments, final abutments and restorative materials), as well as other strategies for optimizing the results and promoting the most appropriate care for all patients.
At the conclusion of this session, the attendee should be able to:
8:40 a.m. - 9:20 a.m.
Effective Aesthetic Dentistry Utilizing modern All-Ceramic Technologies and Materials
Jurgen Seger, M.D.T., Schaan, Liech
All-ceramic materials represent a daily subject for discussion among doctors, dental technicians and patients. The expectations on all-ceramic solutions are high and we are confronted with the challenge to provide effective and aesthetic results.
It is evident that simply using an all-ceramic restoration will not ensure aesthetic and functional success.
This presentation will provide practical concepts for clinical and technical procedures to achieve successful aesthetics in all-ceramic restorations. All-ceramic systems are not all the same.
It is necessary to understand what different all-ceramic materials offer in terms of improved aesthetic potential, their physical properties as well as their indications, contraindications and potential life span. Based on these characteristics and on the clinical situation as well as the patient’s needs an optimal decision on the treatment and material has to be made.
However, adequate knowledge and experience by the ceramist and clinician with all-ceramic materials on how to control translucency/opacity, color, value, form and function is very crucial. Cases will be presented demonstrating a variety of all-ceramic indications using effective procedures and advanced aesthetic concepts.
At the conclusion of this session, attendees should be able to:
-
Identify mechanical properties of available all-ceramic systems.
-
Recognize the light transmitting characteristics of different all-ceramic materials to make the appropriate choices when facing various clinical situations.
-
Understand different manufacturing and finishing techniques.
-
Discuss the current and future possibilities of high aesthetic and high strength all-ceramic solutions.
9:20 a.m. - 10:05 a.m.
Zirconia in the Focus of Science
Susanne Scherrer, D.M.D., University of Geneva
Understanding this material is mandatory to avoid jeopardizing its clinical longevity. Processing and handling of zirconia involves the need of high quality working standards from the manufacturer, the dental technician and the dentist. Final mechanical properties of zirconia will depend on the processing parameters and incorporation of processing flaws. These can occur at the level of the manufacturer (intrinsic flaws) or from external damage such as from grinding, all of which will dramatically influence the strength, fatigue limits and overall clinical survival. This presentation will highlight processing differences among existing zirconias, the need for quality control of the framework (detection of sinter cracks), design and sinter errors from the laboratory and discuss the origin of the chipping of the veneering ceramics for zirconia based on clinical failures.
At the conclusion of this session, attendees should be able to:
-
Understand that various dental zirconia on the market show differences in their microstructure, sinter parameters, fatigue behavior and processing defects,
-
Understand the importance of quality control and correct design of the CAD-CAM ceramic framework.
-
Apply fractographic failure analysis on clinical cases of chipping of core fractures.

Regenerative and Esthetic Techniques in Implant Surgery: Clinical Applications with Recombinant Growth Factors
Mark Nevins, D.M.D., M.M.Sc., Boston, MA
Through technologic advances the ability to achieve esthetic surgical results with conservative techniques continues to evolve. The integration of recombinant growth factor technology into the surgical armamentarium is changing the approach to dental implant site development. This presentation will provide an update on techniques for esthetic implant site development using rhPDGF-BB (recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor BB). Cases will be presented demonstrating successful treatment of extraction socket defects and ridge augmentation procedures in preparation for implant placement combining rhPDGF-BB with bone replacement grafts (BRGs). The use of growth factor technology is reducing the need for autogeneous bone grafting and allowing for less invasive procedures. Techniques utilizing combined hard and soft tissue grafting for periodontal and implant applications will also be presented. Applying tissue engineering to clinical decision-making achieves optimal biologic and esthetic results for challenging periodontal and implant cases. Surgical management for esthetic challenges will be presented. Minimally invasive techniques will be presented and discussed.
At the conclusion of this session, the attendee should be able to:
11:15 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Ceramics and Implant Prostheses
Lyndon Cooper, D.D.S., Ph.D., University of North Carolina
This lecture will review the current knowledge regarding dental implant prostheses made of ceramics. Current technology permits clinicians to create all ceramic crowns, fixed partial dentures and fixed dentures made ceramic that are cemented to abutments or screwed to the prostheses. The benefits and potential limitations of using all ceramic restorations for implant prostheses will be contrasted to other restorative options.
At the conclusion of this session, the attendee should be able to:
- Identify different available all ceramic materials for implant prostheses.
- Recognize the potential benefits of all ceramic materials for implant prostheses.
- Recognize the potential limitations of all ceramic materials for implant prostheses.

The Significance of Traditional Removable Prosthodontics in the Age of Implants
Peter Johnson, D.M.D.
Didactic education in Removable Prosthodontics in the U. S. dental schools has drastically decreased to the point where many graduates do not fabricate a denture on a patient as a part of their undergraduate curriculum. In spite of this elimination of this knowledge and these skills from dental education, and the drop in the percentage of edentulous people in the population, the number of patients needing partial and complete removable prosthodontic care, and those that are completely edentulous is going to continue to increase over the next 15 years.
The fabrication of prostheses for these patients will rely on the classical prosthodontic principals whether dental implants are included in the treatment plan or not. This presentation will address how the comprehension and utilization of the traditional complete removable prosthodontic techniques are even more imperative for the evaluation and treatment of the completely edentulous patient when dental implants are utilized as a part of the treatment. Discussions will be offered pertaining to the relevance of osseous restorative patterns, vertical dimension, phonetics, esthetics, and inter-arch relations to the treatment planning decisions of implant prostheses and the execution of this treatment.
2:45 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
The Future of Implant Dentistry
Steven Eckert, D.D.S., M.S.D., Rochester, Minnesota
Dental implants have proven to be a predictable means of absolute support and retention of dental prostheses. In many instances implants provide improved long term performance relative to natural teeth or oral mucosa. Sadly, implants are used to support only a small portion of dental prostheses. Rather than being the primary means of retention, implants appear to be considered as a last resort or as niche players in the realm of prosthodontic care. The reasons for this are discussed while possible solutions are presented.
At the conclusion of this session, the attendee should be able to:
-
Understand the current utilization of dental implants in supporting prostheses.
-
Observe the unique advantages that implants provide based up prostheses type.
-
Understand the potential for implant use.
3:30 p.m. - 4:10 p.m.
Ceramic Options: What, Where, When?
Don Cornell, M.D.T., New Haven, CT
Today’s patients are demanding the highest aesthetic outcomes possible. To satisfy this demand, ceramists rely more and more on the superior optical properties and light transmission characteristics found in all-ceramic alternatives. Manufacturers in turn, continue to look for ways to increase the strength of these restorations with alumina, zirconia and now lithium disilicate, expanding their range of usage. However, nothing to date can match the overall versatility, longevity and dependability of the porcelain fused to metal crown. This program will explore the limitations and strengths of the various options available as they relate to specific clinical situations and desired treatment outcomes.
At the conclusion of this session, attendees should be able to:
-
Understand material strenths and limitations.
-
Understand material esthetic limitations.
-
Share a time tested protocol for materials selection.
4:10 p.m. - 4:50 p.m.
Ceramic Fatigue and Bonding: Where Are We Going?
Nelson RFA Silva, D.D.S., M.Sc., Ph.D., New York University College of Dentistry
Combined with the development of new dental ceramic materials, the development of innumerous bonding/cementation concepts have led the dental field to uncertainties regarding their future. This presentation will focus in showing the fatigue results and translational aspects that led to the development of new ceramic monolithic systems and address possible future directions to the ceramic systems as well as the development of new bonding/cementation concept employing non-thermal plasmas. Discussions in the utilization of non-thermal plasmas in other dental and medical fields will be addressed.
At the conclusion of this session, the attendees should be able to:
-
Discuss about new ceramic and bonding concepts/materials.
-
Address importance of fatigue test and translational research.
-
Present possible utilization of non-thermal plasmas in dental and medical fields.
