Webinars

In this webinar, Dr. Scott MacLean will describe how the new surfaces, TiUltra™ for implants, and Xeal™ for abutments, promote soft-tissue integration at every level, from abutment to implant apex. Dr. MacLean will discuss how the surface chemistry and topography of the TiUltra™ and Xeal™ surfaces are specifically designed to promote soft tissue attachment, and how the On1™ concept, with the On1™ abutment with Xeal™, preserves the soft tissue attachment without compromising restorative flexibility.

Nobel Biocare and Watersedge dental Laboratory invite you to a virtual presentation. 

Surgical and prosthetic considerations to optimize hard and soft tissue integration. 

Achieving anterior implant esthetics can be challenging and demanding. Scientific advances and breakthroughs in implant designs are constantly challenging the status quo. This presentation will summarize the biological and physiological limitations of the soft and hard tissue, along with the properties of the implant device in a quest to achieve predictable esthetic restorations.  

Application of autologous concentrated growth factors (CGF) and platelet rich fibrin (PRF) within dentistry.

Why not maximize what our patients can provide? Do you want to improve on your clinical outcomes and GBR (guided bone regeneration) procedures? Would your patients benefit from better outcomes and quicker healing? By drawing our patients’ blood and placing those vials into a centrifuge machine we are able to obtain concentrated growth factors that can improve our clinical outcomes, decrease healing times and discomfort, and improve our quality of bone. We will be discussing and demonstrating how to draw and centrifuge blood and make CGF (concentrated growth factors) membranes and AFG “sticky bone” (autologous fibrin glue). This process can be coupled with a variety of procedures to improve your clinical outcomes such as GBR, GTR, sinus lifts, and more.

Once a tooth is extracted, the natural wound-healing cascade paired with irreversible alteration occurs. Grafting techniques (hard and soft tissue) combined with the sound understanding of the surgical site theater will help the practitioner to make the proper decision in order to successfully treat their patient. The usage of biological modifiers and surgical barriers are proposed to assist in improving the predictability of the advance surgical care.

Once a tooth is extracted, the natural wound healing cascade is paired with irreversible alterations.  Grafting techniques (hard and soft tissue) and prosthetic manipulations are required to attempt reestablishing the proper hard and soft tissue losses and proper emergence profile. Grafting materials (Creos Allograft) and surgical techniques (hard and soft tissue) compounded with biological modifiers are proposed to repair and counteract the amount of ridge deformation.

The single posterior tooth is one of the most common implant restoration. The role of soft-tissue maintenance in supporting successful outcomes for dental implant treatment should not be underestimated. Not only does healthy, well-adhered soft tissue provide better esthetics, it also acts as a barrier to bacteria and helps to maintain bone volume around the implant. This presentation will detail the use of the digital workflow technologies and preservation of soft tissue to provide esthetic results.

Prior to the 1990s, the field was held back by relatively high failure rates, delayed loading, conventional impressions, and long healing times. Today, cases can be planned digitally and surgically guided. Immediate loading implants can achieve high primary stability on day one while uniquely anodized surfaces virtually assure secondary stability and healthy keratinization.

The primary focus of this lecture is the oral anatomy and its clinical relevance to oral implantology. The aim is to meet the clinical demands of defining intraoperative structures for implant and bone grafting surgeries. On another note, the lecture will cover the advantage of using CBCT imaging to define those anatomic landmarks that usually do not appear on two-dimensional imaging. The lecture will simplify the learning and the execution of implant-related surgical procedures in a region of the body that presents special topographic and anatomical difficulties.
