You have practiced den-tistry for several years and you have many re-storative questions that need to be addressed.

• Should I sell my prac-tice and go back to graduate school to become a prosthodon-tist?

• Should I take time away from my office and enroll in an ad-vanced education course like the Pankey Institute in Miami or LVI in Las Vegas?

Comments we hear from Dental Labs all the time:

• The bite’s not right!

• I can’t read the mar-gins! I need a better impression.

• There is not enough room for porcelain. Should I make re-duction copings or will you give me a new impression.

• Doctor, would you l ik e z i r con ium , pressed ceramics or porcelain metal for this case?

• The implant is in the wrong locat ion. How can I achieve good aesthetics for the patient.

Comments we hear from Dentists frequently.

• I can’t retake the impression. The patient salivates con-stantly and I could not stop the bleeding.

• How can you register the occlusion accu-rately?

• How do you modify the tooth preparation for non vital teeth, for periodontally compromised teeth, for teeth in the aes-thetic zone?

“Space Cases” Reconstruction with Tooth Size|Jaw Size Disharmony

Restoring Vertical Dimension of Occlusion can be Predictable!

Tooth Preparation: Veneers

Vertical Dimension of Occlusion can be accurately established using a technique involving the “Siblant Sound S”. This method, developed many years ago avoids the need for “testing the vertical with bite splints” . Treatment is ini-tiated quickly and predictably using this method. Learn how to incorporate this diagnostic and treatment aide. At-trition cases with lost vertical dimension of occlusion may not always be restored by increasing lower jaw height.

The challenge of restoring a patient that requires Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, Endodontics, Periodontics and Prostho-dontics can be rewarding in many ways. Our course discusses the many techniques and variables required to manipu-late hard and soft tissues. As well, dental laboratory materials required and co-ordination of both chair-side and labo-ratory steps is discussed thoroughly in our course.

Dentists are bombarded daily with advertisements and endorsements from companies that state their veneers require “minimally invasive tooth reduction”. Dentists need to be aware of the considerable difficulty encountered by our laboratory technicians in the fabrication of porcelain veneers. Learn the correct way to prepare, impression and provisionalize for por-celain veneers.

Tissue Management & Impression Techniques

It is easy to see how little information and detail is available from the triple tray\ putty impression on the left side. The middle impression using Poly Vinyl Siloxane has many desirable properties but its hydrophobic properties often results in loss of detail during impressions. The Poly Ether impression on the right side is more hydrophilic but more rigid in the mouth. Our course will outline the properties and benefits of each system as well as excellent technique to

What medicament are you using with your retrac-tion cord? Will tissues routinely recede after appli-cation of cord and medicament in your office?

Choosing the right type of crown will depend on optical prop-erties, tissue biotype, tooth reduction, and color characteris-tics.

As seen in the case below, patients may present with occlusal schemes and aesthetic demands that require major modifica-tions.

Alteration of aesthetics must begin with provisionals so that patients will have some idea of the changes that are being proposed long before treatment is completed.

Implant Dentistry: Challenging or Routine?

Implant Dentistry in the “Aesthetic Zone” can be challenging, whether the patient has a high smile line, advanced periodontal disease in the natural den-tition or traumatic fracture and avulsion of anterior teeth.

Nothing is ever routine! Implant Dentistry requires much planning and careful execution of all surgical and prosthetic steps to achieve predictable re-sults.
