Ceramic Dental Implants in Everyday Practice
by Dan Hagi, DDS, FAGD, FICOI
Contrary to popular belief, titanium is not the only implant material. One-piece zirconia oxide implants can overcome the problems we associate with two-piece and one-piece titanium root form implants. It will be shown how this treatment option is no longer experimental and that the zirconia oxide material shows excellent ability to osseointegrate, is phenomenally strong, and provides a soft tissue profile and health around the implants that rivals natural teeth. This presentation will make you rethink your titanium armamentarium. You will see a way to provide your patients with an ideal tooth replacement option. An implant that looks like a tooth, restores like a tooth, and has the periodontal health that rivals that of a tooth without the fear of screw loosening, metal showing, and peri-implantitis caused by subgingival connections.

Successful Socket Grafting and Use of the Misch Atraumatic Extractors
by Carl Misch, DDS, MSD, PhD (hc)
Pulling a tooth is different than extracting a tooth in an atraumatic manner. The goal is to preserve and protect the bone so it may be used for implants and to retain ridge height and width. Dr. Misch has developed new instruments and techniques to simplify extractions and to do it in an atraumatic way. This course goes into detail on how to use these instruments. In addition the course goes into details on how to predictably and successfully socket graft after extraction.

Bruxism: Completing a Joint, Muscle and Dentition Exam
by Lee Ann Brady, DMD
Patients with bruxism have tooth wear caused by grinding and clenching. Both attrition and abfraction are specific types of tooth wear that result from grinding, clenching or power wiggling. This type of tooth wear can present alone, or as part of other signs and symptoms that fall under the umbrella of Temporomandibular Disorders. Understanding and treating TMD begins with assessing the stability and health of the joints, muscles and teeth. This program will explain the steps in completing a history and thorough clinical exam that leads to the next step, which may include treatment or additional diagnostics.
