Abstract:

Osseodensification is an evidence-based approach to implant osteotomy preparation that enhances implant stability and bone density without compromising healing. This lecture will present the biomechanical, histological healing timeline, and clinical data of Osseodensification. It will discuss bone plasticity and its clinical effect and will also cover the clinical versatility of this novel technique including Sub-Crestal Sinus Auto Grafting, Ridge Expansion, Immediate Implant Placement with Osseodensification, and Guided Expansion Graft. Several clinical protocols will be outlined.

Abstract:

With the arising biomimetic dentistry, dentists around the globe are offering more conservative and additive type of treatment options. Patients, alike, demand for natural looking restorations that require less natural tooth removal. Simultaneously, dentists would like to be more efficient in placing a direct composite restoration without compromising on aesthetics. In this lecture and workshop, we will be discussing how aesthetic composites can improve every day practice by blending art and science together efficiently.

Learning Objectives:

• Control of value, chroma, translucency and opalescence
• Esthetic tooth preparation techniques for perfect optical integration
• Anatomical build-up techniques to restore the natural tooth shape
• Perform the layering technique and the bulk fill technique for posterior build-ups
• Finishing and polishing to finalise an esthetic result

Who should attend:

1. General Dentists
2. Specialists
3. Dental Students

Course Outline:

09:00 – 10:30 Lecture: Characteristics and Aesthetic principles. Techniques: tooth preparation, bonding procedures, composite material science, intro to light polymerisation, finish and polishing
10:30 – 11:00 Coffee Break
11:00 – 13:00 Hands-on: Creation of individual silicone key, esthetic tooth preparation techniques, anatomical build-up of an extended anterior defect applying stratified layers of composite with different translucency levels. Characterization, finishing, polishing. Macro- and microtextures.
13:00 – 14:00 Lunch
14:00 – 15:00 Lecture: Elaborate lecture on posterior composite restoration – layering vs bulk fill composite. Further science on light polymerisation and pushing the limit of composite material with innovative technology
15:00 – 16:30 Hands on: Build-up of an extended posterior defect with the Layering Technique
16:00 – 17:00 Coffee Break
17:00 – 17:30 Hands on: Build-up of an extended posterior defect with the Bulk-Fill Technique
17:30 – 18:00 Wrap-up and Q & A

Description of the demonstration and the workshop:

For the first half of the course: Every participant will create a silicone key as a template to build up a canvas for the fracture central incisor. This canvas will provide a platform to recreate the true-to-nature restoration with the layering technique. Prior to the buildup, participants will produce a minimalistic, adhesive tooth preparation with a bevel that will help hide the transition lines and improve the integration of the restoration.
Prior to the bonding procedure efficient isolation techniques will be practically demonstrated and repeated by the participants. The participants will then build up the large anterior defect.

Second half of the course: Every participant will familiarise themselves with different matrix techniques in order to facilitate a perfect contact point. Next, an optimized bonding procedure will be performed (Etch & Rinse vs. Self-etch vs. Selective-etch technique) and discussed. Tooth 16 will be restored with multiple layers (chromatic dentin shade, medium-translucent enamel shades) and an anatomical shape will be created. Thereafter, tooth 26 will be restored with the bulk-fill technique (one medium-translucent shade) and an anatomical shape will be created. A comparison on time taken to carry out these procedures will be compared and discussed. Both restorations will be finished using diamond burs and then polished to a high gloss comparing multiple-step vs. one-step polishing systems. The marginal adaptation, contact point, anatomical shape and aesthetic appearance of both restorations will be compared and critically evaluated.

Abstract:

A fundamental principle in replacing missing tooth structure or missing teeth is the restoration of function and esthetics at minimal biological cost. The introduction of new all-ceramic materials and adhesive cementation techniques have facilitated innovative, conservative preparation designs for single tooth and Fixed Partial Denture (FPD) restorations. The reliable bond to enamel and dentin achieved with modern adhesive techniques had a great impact on modern tooth preparation designs resulting in significant preservation of tooth structure. Today, the clinician can choose from very different ceramic materials such as Silicate glass ceramics, Lithium-Di-Silicate ceramics, and Polycrystalline materials like Zirconium Dioxide. However, in terms of strength and esthetics there are significant differences that need to be considered for an adequate tooth preparation and cementation of the final restoration.

Learning Objectives:

1. To know the difference between the various all-ceramic systems in terms of esthetics, strength, invasiveness and clinical application.
2. Optimum tooth preparation designs for all-ceramic restorations.
3. To know the difference between the various luting material categories, their preferred indications and their clinical application.
4. Pre-treatment of all-ceramic materials prior to cementation.
5. Correct clinical management in case of surface contamination of the ceramic restoration after clinical try-in.

Who should attend:

1. General Dentists
2. Specialists
3. Dental Students
