MORNING WORKSHOPS
9.00am – 12.30pm Precision Tooth Preparation for Aesthetic Restorations
Dr Domenico Massironi MD DMD
Sydney Convention Centre, Bayside Level 2
Tooth preparation is a critical step in prosthetic restoration because it affects each subsequent stage of restoration. Without an optimal design, it is impossible to ensure accurate impression taking, successful reproduction of finish lines in laboratory procedures, and seamless integration of the prosthetic restoration during cementation.
Dr. Domenico Massironi will demonstrate his technique for creating the modified chamfer design, with rotating and non rotating instruments (oscillating sonic tips) which can be used successfully with all types of restorations. The basic principles guiding his approach are a commitment to standardized prosthetic protocols, the proper sequencing of instrumentation, and precision work via use of a microscope. Dr. Massironi, a master clinician widely recognized by European dentists, will offer his insights into successful aesthetic tooth preparation to an Australian audience here for the first time. Restorative dentists at all levels will benefit from this practical demonstration.
Demonstration Objectives:
- Understand the importance of tooth preparation design to achieve a better aesthetic result
- Learn how to prepare a precision finish line design
- Find out how to create the modified chamfer design learn how to perform instrumentation for successful tooth preparation
Cone Beam Anatomy: Let’s Review What You May be Missing
Dr Dale A. Miles BA, DDS, MS, FRCD(C)
Sydney Convention Centre, Bayside Level 2
As dentists we use imaging every day in our office to help refine
our clinical treatment decisions. Now there’s an amazing, low cost, effective “CT“ modality for dentistry. But do you understand it?
This 3 hour anatomy review session will build your confidence for reviewing your cone beam data sets.
Dr. Miles presents principles and applications of Dentistry’s newest and most advanced imaging technology – Cone Beam “CT“ (computed tomography). He reviews large and small volume anatomic structures in detail like you’ve never seen it before. Come see what you may have been missing.
Objectives: This program will enable the dentist or auxiliary to:
- Learn cone beam scan anatomy to help you understand the images you take or receive
- Visualize anatomical detail in 2D and 3D
- Understand the importance of reviewing ALL of the slice data
AFTERNOON WORKSHOPS
1.30pm – 5.30pm Cone Beam Anatomy: Let’s Review What You May be Missing
Dr Dale A. Miles BA, DDS, MS, FRCD(C)
This is a repeat of the morning session.
1.30pm – 5.30pm An Efficient Treatment Plan for Complete Tooth Decay Management
Dr Matteo Basso DDS, PhD, MSc
Complete management of tooth decay can be obtained only through a complete comprehension of pathological processes. The lack of interpretation of several signals that teeth and mucosa can give to clinicians might represent the starting point of a probable failure of their therapies. To improve clinical outcomes, long-term results and patient’s satisfaction, this workshop will present some easy and immediate solutions, that can be immediately integrated into daily practice.
Participants will also have the possibility to manage clinical tests and bioactive restorative materials.
1.30pm - 5.30pm What Surrogate Measures of Osseointegration Really Matter?
Professor Sreenivas Koka DDS, PhD
Sydney Convention Centre, Bayside Level 2
Clinicians are bombarded with information on the latest and greatest dental implant design. Measures such as bone implant contact, insertion torque, removal torque and implant stability quotient (ISQ), are offered up as validated and clinically meaningful. But is this necessarily so? Are some of the surrogates measures currently utilized better or worse at providing clinically relevant information that will aid the clinician in attaining a superior patient-centered outcome.
This workshop will offer a pragmatic, yet scientifically based, assessment of surrogate measures of osseointegration to provide the conscientious clinician with a necessary perspective of what these measures actually tell us. More importantly, what these measures do not tell us will also be discussed.
Full Day Workshops
9.00am – 4.30pm New Ultrasonic Implant Site Preparation for Traditional Technique and New Implant Typology using Piezosurgery Technique
Professor Tomaso Vercellotti MD, DDS
This workshop will introduce new concepts in implantology such as pre-surgical study, bone classification, new ultrasonic surgical techniques for the cortical and spongeous bone, as well as a new ultra osseointegration bone response.
The new technique, that improves primary stability, will be presented in a “step by step” format with numerous clinical cases and application videos which will provide the opportunity to improve implant positioning in the presence of limited bone volume, close to the alveolar nerve and soft bone.
Moreover, this presentation will highlight surgical and clinical advantages of the new procedure concerning immediate load in both edentulous crests and post-extractive implant cases.
The histological and bio-molecular results of the study will introduce a “new era” of the immediate load technique involving a time-reduction of the primary and secondary stability.
9.00am – 4.30pm Excellence in Dental Aesthetics
Luc Rutten MDT & Patric Rutten MDT
Sydney Convention Centre, Bayside Level 2
Sit down, relax and listen to the Rutten Brothers and watch them do some hands-on individual layering of a central incisor, with VM7 or VM9.
This workshop will consist of a half day lecture and a half day demonstration.
The Lecture
In this lecture we will show how to bring a case to perfection and will outline the contemporary prosthetic concepts in management of implants in the aesthetic zone with a view to achieving long term aesthetics and stability. We will attempt to cover all disciplines and all types of challenges in the most comprehensive way.
The true challenge does not lie in ceramic layering, but bringing pink and white aesthetics into harmony with facial features of our patients.
As of now, the principles of facial harmony dictate our work and have turned our aesthetic understanding completely around. We no longer exclusively concentrate on the aesthetics of individual teeth, but are more concerned with the harmony we create between restoration
and patient.
Given these high demands, it is natural that the cooperation between dentist or periodontist and dental technician will intensify. An interdisciplinary approach is the key to optimal case management and this will be demonstrated by cases ranging single tooth management to complex multiple tooth restoration.
The Demonstration
This practical demonstration will present a forward-looking insight in aesthetic implantology and aesthetics in general. The aim is to obtain an excellent final result using a rational and structured method of correctly choosing ceramic masses in agreement with the motto: “Back to basics using no show“. We want to offer the participants a valuable guide to help them avoid wandering blindly into full-ceramic materials. Inevitably we voice the questions: which materials go where? Will they match what I am trying to do? We have a selection of tips and tricks to share in words, based on our experience. We will detail layering techniques for the new materials and base our opinions on current studies. We provide observations on how to design full-ceramic restorations, drawing from our own experiences, which will spark the interest of both experienced and beginner ceramists in this new generation of full-ceramic restorations.
9.00am – 3.00pm Tooth Out, What’s Next?
Dr Karl-Ludwig Ackerman DDS
ADA NSW Clinical Training Centre, Level 1, 71-73 Lithgow Street, St Leonards NSW 2065
This workshop is restricted to 20 participants.
Following atraumatic extraction, the alveolar ridge decreases in volume. Linde and co workers have demonstrated that this resorption takes place in a matter of weeks. These changes are clinically significant and can make placement of a conventional bridge or an implant-supported crown difficult. If a bone defect exists or if socket preservation is not employed then bone resorption can be as high as 30% after only 8 weeks and will prevent or complicate later surgery. In such cases a complicated bone block and soft tissue grafting procedure will be necessary to achieve success.
Post extraction maintenance of the alveolar ridge stabilises residual ridge resorption and, thus, allows a lengthy time scale for placement of an implant which satisfies aesthetic and functional criteria.
Practitioners skilled in these techniques are able to better plan and manage prospective implant and bridge reconstructions and avoid complicated referrals.
Workshop
Through a unique mix of lecture, live surgery and delegate hands on this workshop will discuss and demonstrate the latest techniques for uncomplicated extraction, with and without the use of regenerative materials. Delegates will be shown, and will undertake an atraumatic extraction. Treatment planning options plus the current rationale for use of new regenerative biomaterials will be discussed as it affects both intact sockets as well as those containing a bone defect.
The course consists of:
- 2 Hour clinical Lecture on how to extract the tooth and how to insert the material.
- Followed by a 1hour live demo on a pig’s head
- Shortly followed by a 1-hour hands-on workshop on a pig’s head so you can practice all the procedures just learnt...
