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.
