Innovative Digital Workflow for Full Arch Restorations

Digital technologies offer access to more information and enable a higher predictability and passive fit in full arch restoration. Traditional restorative procedure requires multiple visits to achieve clinically acceptable passive fit of definitive prosthesis. A fully digital workflow using Nexus iOS scan gauges was adopted to evaluate passive fit in clinical practice. This treatment modality provides a streamlined workflow, reduction in patient visits and clinically acceptable passive fit of full arch restoration using IOS scanner.  

Interdisciplinary Management of Aesthetic Problem Cases

Objective: The treatment planning of complex cases requires the highest level of knowledge and skill of the treating team. It is an orchestration of procedures including proper sequencing and timing that makes the difference. A vision of the final case before starting is required to know where the goal of treatment will be directed. This, in conjunction with the patients’ needs and clinical situation comprise the decision-making process for what is the best treatment for the patient.

Adaptation of Immediate Protocols: A Key to Patient Satisfaction and Increased Patient Flow

  This presentation will focus on immediate protocols and how they can benefit your practice, both from a clinical as well as from a patient acceptance point of view. Today we have solid evidence and consensus that immediate protocols offer equal and sometimes higher predictability than conventional therapy. In today’s environment it’s a necessity to make these protocols part of how we treatment plan our patients. This presentation will show the concepts and clinical options of making immediate protocols simple and predictable to implement in any dental practice— starting Monday morning.

Graft and Graftless Solutions That Meet Your Patients’ Dental Implant Needs

It is recognized that upon extraction of teeth, the alveolus goes through dimensional changes in both width and height. To achieve the best long term results both esthetically and functionally, clinicians must select the most appropriate approach to manage this clinical reality. This decision making includes whether to place a dental implant at the time of the extraction or delay this. Which graft materials, if any, should be used and the size of the dental implant which could also impact whether or not graft material is even necessary. This lecture will discuss some of the emerging approaches to both hard and soft tissue augmentation along with some of the novel implant sizes that Keystone offers that may influence the approach to treatment.

The Real Digital Revolution: When, What and How to Create a Useful Digital Workflow

The goal of digital technology in the clinical environment is not to eliminate the impression material or place an implant without a flap. The benefit of digital technology is to improve the way we practice dentistry by offering advantages through the use of technologically enabled innovative workflows. Improve your clinical process in everyday procedures including comprehensive patient evaluation, immediate solutions, revolutionizing the try-in, managing the broken provisional, simplifying your surgical and restorative procedures, reducing the number of patient visits, and shortening treatment time during patient visits. Additional topics that will be discussed include what technology you should have in a clinical setting, what material considerations are there, the benefits of using a virtual lab technician, milling vs printing, reline vs printing, digital impression taking at surgery, and using low-dose CT as an impression technique. This presentation will introduce solutions that can be implemented today using currently available clinical dental technology and will challenge the audience to change the way they provide their patient’s with treatment solutions.
