Dental Continuing Education — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 18:06:22 +0000

Minimally Invasive Esthetic Zone Reconstruction with LIVE Surgery, Feb 13-14, 2009

Dental Continuing Education — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:30:56 +0000

Minimally Invasive Esthetic Zone Reconstruction with LIVE Surgery Daniel Cullum, BSc, DDS February 13-14, 2009
Minimally invasive techniques incorporating esthetic zone principles are becoming established practice in implant reconstruction. The restorative dentist and surgeon must have a team approach to patient analysis and treatment planning. The benefits for our patients are: improved esthetics, less discomfort, faster healing and eager acceptance. Can we provide this predictably and with long-term stability? Join the discussion of esthetic zone management on esthetic analysis and team treatment planning, immediate implant/provisional restoration, flapless surgery and atramatic extraction, minimally invasive bone grafting, sub-epithelial and pedicle connective tissue grafts, ridge expansion, Piezosurgery and avoiding complications. Minimally invasive techniques can have a steep learning curve. Using case presentations and live surgery, Dr. Cullum will demonstrate how these techniques can revolutionize the treatment your patients receive using a team approach to implant treatment.

	Accreditation Provided: 14 CE Credits Tuition: US $ 1,995.
Course Director & Speaker: Daniel Cullum, BSc, DDS Dr. Cullum completed his DDS with distinction at the University of Alberta, Canada and residency training at Westchester Medical Center, New York.

COURSE INTENT

This course is designed to give clinicians the confidence to perform soft tissue grafts, appropriate flap design for full and partial thickness flaps, suturing and advanced bone grafting procedures upon returning to their offices. Our structure is a combination of in-depth lecture, over the shoulder demonstration and a hands-on workshop with models and fresh frozen cadaver heads on advanced bone grafting for implant placement. One of the unique features of our course is that we provide panoramic radiographs of every cadaver head to simulate a realistic learning experience. This is the closest thing to performing live surgery!

Each participant will receive a comprehensive manual which compiles Powerpoint slides from the lecture, as well as current literature covering specific surgical procedures. This makes following the lecture more enjoyable than having to take detailed notes, and provides an excellent reference back in the office after the course. Each participant will also receive a personalized monogrammed scrub as well as a soft sided attaché.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

After completing this course the clinician should be able to treatment plan dental implants based on prosthetic classifications, divisions of available bone and classifications of bone density. The surgeon will be able to provide appropriate manipulation and grafting of the soft tissues. Finally, the implant surgeon will have a more thorough understanding of advanced bone grafting procedures which will ultimately improve implant success, longevity and esthetics for their patients.

Thursday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

Lecture Format covering:

Importance of attached tissue around teeth and implants
Surgical anatomy of soft tissue
Blood supply of soft tissue

EasyGuide^™ Demonstration

Saturday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

Laboratory:

Hands-on computer exercise utilizing iCAT cone beam CT scans of the cadaver specimen on which you will be performing bone grafts.

Each participant will evaluate the CT scan using the EasyGuide^™ software. Each participant should be able to evaluate the sinus for: height/width, septa, sinus floor, determine the best place for the sinus window and determine if the osteomeatal complex is patent. In addition, with regard to bone, each participant should be able to address bone height/width, density, and perform virtual implant placement. Tracing of the inferior alveolar canal will also be evaluated.

REGISTER EARLY

Due to the number of surgical instruments and cadaver heads needed for the lab, and in order to provide an outstanding faculty to participant ratio, the course must be limited to thirty participants per course. In order to attend the course date of your choice we recommend that you register early.
