Dr. Judson B. Wall, DDS, FAGD, FAACP, AIAOMT
HANDS-ON: Laser Augmentation of Zirconia Implant Placement
Course Description:
The incidence of failed and failing titanium implants and root canal treated teeth is rising sharply. The connection between these oral crises and chronic degenerative conditions is coming to light. The Fotona Lightwalker laser has solutions for treating both peri-implantitis and failed root canals. Whether attempting to save failing titanium implants and root canal treated teeth, or cleaning the residue left behind after they are removed laser offers options. Dr. Wall will share what he uses to provide a consistent, reliable vehicle for treatment success.
Learning Objectives:
- Laser basics and Treatment indications
- Recent literature supporting Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser use
- Case studies to highlight the benefits of Laser Augmentation
Prof. Dr. Marcel Wainwright
HANDS-ON: The Wainwright Method for Biological Treatment Success
Course Description:
In this 4 hour exclusive lecture Marcel will talk about his experience, failures and how to avoid or correct them based on long term clinical experience with ceramic implantology. Besides the science which propels his topics, his primary goal is the clinical application of his knowledge for reliable (or exceptional, or successful) treatment outcomes, whilst generating a dynamic exchange of knowledge with colleagues.
Learning Objectives:
Why atraumatic surgery is paramount for a long-term success of dental implant
In this feature he will highlight:
- Atraumatic ultrasonic based extraction
- Minimally invasive sinus grafting procedures like the Intralift
- Bone grafting protocols along with soft tissue manipulation surgically
- The use of adjunctive tools like Hyaluronic Acid and L-PRF
Latest studies on surfaces of Zirconia implants and why this is so important for a fast and secure healing period and osseointegration.
Osseointegration + Periointegration: how can we achieve full BioIntegration?
Do`s and Don’ts in ceramic implantology
- What are the differences between various Zirconia Implants?
- What should be the pre-conditioning of the patient?
- Prosthetic options, what works well and what should be paid attention to.
- Keynote roles of vitamins and other co-factors that affect surgical success.
Dr. Richard J. Miron, DDS, MSc, PhD
HANDS-ON: New Trends in PRF Therapy
Course Description:
This hands-on course will cover all the new advancements made with respect to the newest formulations of platelet concentrates. These will cover how to make custom-shaped PRF grafts, how to better concentrate liquid-PRF and will provide a better understanding for optimization of the protocols utilized in every day dental practice. Thereafter, the Bio-Heat technology will be presented. This will cover the heating steps necessary to extend the working properties of PRF from a fast-resorbing 2-3 week membrane towards a membrane that lasts 4-6 months. Various protocols will be demonstrated whereby clinicians will learn how to make an extended-PRF membrane that lasts 4-6 months, as well as how to make a novel sticky bone that contains an outer e-PRF membrane that may be utilized for ridge augmentation procedures.
Learning Objectives:
- Optimization of protocols for any centrifugation device
- Update on Bio-Heat technology and the ability to extend the working properties of PRF from 2-3 weeks to 4-6 months
- Improve cell and growth factor release using concentrated-PRF (C-PRF) protocols when compared to traditional injectable-PRF (i-PRF) on any centrifugation device
- Launch of the Bio-Cool technology
- Importance of PRF tubes for the fabrication of PRF
