Limits Of Gbr In Oral Implantology Moustapha Saad
Insufficient regeneration of missing bone and soft-tissue may present aesthetic or functional problems in patients indicated for dental implant surgery.
Several techniques such as autogenous bone grafts, bone substitutes and Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) have been described to rebuild a compromised alveolar ridge.
The guided bone regeneration (GBR) treatment concept advocates that regeneration of osseous defect is predictably attainable via the application of occlusive membrane. On the other hand, autogenous bone has additional mechanical (cortical) and osteogenic (cancellous) properties because of graft morphology.
The aim of my presentation is to propose a guideline for clinicians to enhance the most appropriate technique of hard tissues reconstruction after a comprehensive study of bone defect morphology.
Learning objectives:
To identify if successful conditions for implant placement are ensured without hard tissue reconstructions in critical ridge situations, based on a thorough clinical and radiographic examination. (conventional radiography, cone beam, bone mapping ,diagnostic wax up etc…)
To choose the most convenient time for implant placement and to identify if we need particulate or block graft (after the classification of defects type, whether horizontal, vertical or intra-alveolar)
To analyze factors (mainly those related to the site) that guides our choice for the appropriate technique
To manage the complications related to the previously described technique in hard tissue augmentation

Peri-implant Complications: A Periodontal Perspective Sebastian G. Ciancio
Periodontitis is a significant risk factor for implant failure. Pathogens associated with peri-implant mucositis are similar to those in periodontitis. Periodontitis/peri-implantitis therapy involves reduction/ eradication of pathogens. A complex microflora becomes established subgingivally around implants within one week after abutment connections. This microflora continues to persist subgingivally. Also, healthy implants present with low plaque scores and less periodontal bleeding on probing. In contrast, peri-implant mucositis is associated with elevated plaque scores and increased bleeding on probing. Current concepts in prevention and treatment of peri-implant mucositis/peri-implantitis will be reviewed as well as learning about various medications which may contribute to this condition.
Learning objectives:
To understand the impact of periodontitis history on implant complications
To learn about pathogens associated with implant complications
To understand methods of management of peri-implant mucositis/periimplantitis
To understand effects of medications on implant success and failure

Oral Antiseptics: Impact on Health Sebastian G. Ciancio
Inflammation is a cardinal feature of gingivitis and periodontitis. Oral biofilm is responsible for pathogenesis of periodontal disease and is responsible for a number of oral health disorders including loss of teeth, recurrent and new caries, gingivitis, and halitosis. However, evidence is accumulating that plaque biofilm and the presence of periodontal disease does not just have negative implications for oral health, but can also adversely affect certain other, potentially fatal co-morbid systemic conditions. In this presentation the relationship between plaque biofilm, oral health, inflammation and between periodontal disease and various systemic conditions will be reviewed.
Learning objectives:
To understand the role of inflammation in periodontal diseases
To understand the role of biofilm in the inflammatory process
To understand the interaction between oral health and general health
To learn strategies for controlling biofilm

Enhancing Dental Treatment with Lasers Ibrahim Ali Jbara
As the applications for dental lasers expand, greater numbers of dentists will use the technology to provide patients with precision treatment that may minimize pain and recovery time.
The application of lasers in dentistry opens the door for dentists to perform a wide variety of dental procedures they otherwise may not be capable of performing. Dentists using lasers in dentistry have become adept at incorporating the state-of-the-art precision technology into a number of common and not-so-common procedures.(Cavity Detector, Dental Fillings/Tooth Preparation, Tooth Sensitivity, Crown Lengthening, Gummy Smile, Muscle Attachment (Frenula), Soft Tissue Folds (Epulis), Benign Tumors, Cold Sores, Nerve Regeneration ,Teeth Whitening Temporomandibular Joint Treatment)

Cariology
Contemporary View of Caries and What Constitutes Treatment. Edwin Kidd
The caries process is the metabolism in the biofilm, a ubiquitous and natural process. The interaction of the biofilm with the dental tissues may result in the formation of a visible caries lesion. However, this is not inevitable; lesion formation and progression can be controlled by non-operative treatments so that a visible lesion does not form in the first place or a lesion is arrested and does not progress further. Operative treatment is needed from a cariological perspective, when the patient cannot access the biofilm to disturb it and arrest the lesion.
Learning objectives:
Differentiate the caries process from the caries lesion
Introduce the concepts of caries control and caries risk
Explain the relevance of caries diagnosis to management
Show how caries can be controlled by non-operative treatments
Define the role of operative treatment in caries control

New Indications in Aesthetic Dentistry: Closing Diastemas with Minimally Invasive Techniques Eduardo Mahn
Classical dentistry is dealing with defects, caries, demineralized areas, discolorations or broken teeth after trauma. In such indications we are restoring damage, infected or missing areas of the tooth structure. In order to achieve immediate success and long term survival we need to respect several biological rules and follow certain clinical protocols. Restoring the function was the priority and aesthetics was secondary. If at the end of the treatment the restoration looked nice it was always welcome. The above description fits well to dentistry during the last 30 years. But this idea is not longer acceptable for many of our patients. In our competitive modern society it is considered a disadvantage to have “not nice looking” teeth. This means that whenever something happen to them (caries, trauma, insufficient form, proportions or alignment) the situation needs to be fixed… and in an aesthetic way! As a simple example, many patients have old anterior composites with an insufficient appearance and a diastema for years, they come to you for having them changed plus the diastema closed, and suddenly they do not accept anything but a perfect invisible filling! Others come for orthodontic treatment with too small teeth for their jaws, and after the orthodontic treatments they are not happy with nicely align teeth with spaces between them, they also want to have them closed!
Fortunately the improvements in techniques and materials have been so great during the last years that we are in a comfortable position to offer the patients answers and predictable results for such cases.
Learning objectives:
To learn about tooth and face proportions
To learn about new developments in ceramic and composite technologies
To learn new prepless techniques to close single diastemas

Local haemostasis technics after tooth extractions and minor oral surgeries in patients with blood coagulation disorders Boukais Hamid
We receive more and more patients in our daily practice, with congenital or acquired disorders of haemostasis which expose these patients to bleeding risk when surgical acts are performed in the oral cavity (the easiest and most common one is simple dental extraction).
During a long time, before teeth extractions, the substitution of missing factors (example of patients with haemophilia), and stopping or reducing of anticoagulants drugs (example of patients taking anticoagulants), were systematically done. These methods are dangerous for patient’s health, because they arise the risks of occurrence of thrombo-embolic accidents and their potential complications, that can go up to the death (when stopping anticoagulants), and the risk of viral contamination and the emergence of acquired inhibitors factors of the coagulation during repeated blood transfusion.
Through our lecture, and our experience in this area, we would link to insist on the efficacy of local haemostasis technics after teeth extractions in these patients, without reducing and stopping oral anticoagulants, or systematic use of missing factors substitution. Local haemostasis technics can be used by specialist and generally dentist. These technics are not expensive, they can also be performed without hospitalization of patients.
Learning objectives:
To identify patients whom have blood coagulation disorders
To know about the particularities during teeth extractions in these patients
To use local haemostasis technics after teeth extractions
To treat an haemorrhage occurring after teeth extractions

Restorative Dentistry
Composite & Restorations: can everyday dentistry be…aesthetic? Valter Devoto
In daily practice, composites are the materials most commonly used for restorative dentistry. We use them for preventive seals, micro-invasive restorations, build ups and complex, direct and indirect restorations in the anterior and posterior sections.
Indeed, it is in the anterior sections that composites have traditionally been used to the greatest effect, enabling us to carry out quite complex restorations using direct techniques and with notable aesthetic and clinical results.
Recent product developments, combined with clinical research into stratification, now make it possible to utilise new evolved composites with excellent characteristics from mechanic and aesthetic point of view.
It is however, a common complaint among colleagues that the techniques of layering seem to be rather complex and it is difficult to make the right colour choice: paradoxically, they say that the appearance on the market of sophisticated materials, designed to give ever better results in the medium or long term, only makes it even more difficult to make the correct decision.
Indeed, many of these colleagues, after the first buzz of enthusiasm, give up on the layering technique and opt for materials which they say are more simple or “mimetic”(!)
Learning objectives:
Learn how to make an individual treatment plan
Learn the composite aesthetic characteristics
Learn how to simplify the layering techniques

The Endodontic Success: How To Access, Shape and Clean Wilhelm J. Pertot
The introduction of rotary Nickel Titanium instruments has enabled practitioners to shape and clean root canal systems faster, and with a better end-result than with traditional stainless steel hand instruments. Thus avoiding most of the challenges encountered during the procedure of shaping with stainless steel instruments such as “ledging”, canal blockade and loss of working length or zipping and tearing of the apical foramen.
Although these instruments represent a great advance in Endodontics, their misuse might lead to instrument breakage. Therefore, the knowledge of their different characteristics and application of the correct technique is of paramount importance to allow the practitioners to use them safely and with reproducible high quality results.
The Glyde-Path (Pathfile instruments) of the canal is also a procedure to avoid misshape and breakage of NiTi instruments.
Recently, A concept of a “one file treatment” – 1 file for 1 canal has been introduced. Made of Nickel Titanium, M-Wire and using a reciprocating movement the new instrument call “WaveOne” is revolutionary and will change our view of shaping a canal.
Learning objectives:
Explain briefly the objectives of canal shaping
Explain the problems of root canal preparation
Explain the evolution of root canal instruments

Cytotoxicity of Dental Resins-Containing Restorative Materials Michel Goldberg
In vitro and in vivo studies have clearly identified that some components of restorative composite resins, adhesives, and resin-modified glass ionomer cements are toxic for pulp cells or cells located at the gingival margin. The mechanisms of cytotoxicity are related firstly to the short-term release of free monomers occurring during the monomer–polymer conversion. Secondly, long-term release of leachable substances is generated by erosion and degradation over time. In addition, ion release and proliferation of bacteria located at the interface between the restorative material and dental tissues are also implicated in the tissue response. Molecular mechanisms involve glutathione depletion and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production as key factors leading to pulp or gingival cell apoptosis. Experimental animal approaches substantiate the occurrence of allergic reactions. There is a large gap between the results published by research laboratories and clinical reports.
Learning objectives:
Clarify to adverse effects of resin-containing restorative materials

Recent Trends in the Management of Traumatic Injuries to Primary Teeth Riad Bacho
One of the commonly encountered dental emergencies in young children is dento-alveolar traumatic injuries. They can result in fractured, displaced, or lost primary teeth and they could have significant negative functional, esthetic, speech, and psychological effects on children. Although it is difficult to treat all types of dento-alveolar injuries in the dental clinic when very young children are affected, age and severity of injury play a critical role in treatment success.
The recent trends in the management of traumatic injuries to primary teeth published in scientific papers in the last ten years will be examined and supported by clinical cases. Although evidenced-based recommendations may enhance pulpal and periodontal

Guidance of the eruption and development of the primary and permanent dentitions is an integral part of the care of pediatric patients. Such guidance should contribute to the development of a permanent dentition that is in a harmonious, functional and esthetically acceptable occlusion.
Space maintainers are used to preserve the space when early loss of primary teeth occurs, and when permanent teeth are missing. But, what diagnostic tools are recommended to assess the developing occlusion? Is a space maintainer always necessary when a primary tooth is lost prematurely? If a space maintainer is necessary, what type is recommended for a given clinical situation?

Occlusal Asymmetries: Etiology, Prevalence, Diagnosis and Treatment - part I Jon Artun
Occlusal asymmetries may be a consequence of tooth migrations following premature loss of deciduous molars and early loss of permanent first molars, or be acquired for hereditary reasons. A recent population-based study shows that about 12% of current age cohorts of adolescent school children in Kuwait are likely to experience mesial migration and/or loss of one or more first molars, and that those conditions are associated with presence of untreated caries lesions and certain socio-economic indicators. Prevalence of occlusal asymmetries and severe orthodontic treatment need was significantly higher among the subjects with mesial migration and/or loss of the first permanent molars than among those without. However, the majority of the subjects with tooth migration and severe orthodontic treatment need had severe or moderate need also for reasons that could not be attributed to the tooth migration. The number of new cases with objective need for orthodontic treatment at adolescence may therefore not reduce dramatically if premature extractions can be avoided, but the treatment may be less complicated. I will discuss the clinical consequences of these findings, and illustrate with cases.
Learning objectives:
Occlusal consequences of premature loss of deciduous molars in different types of malocclusion
Occlusal consequences of early loss of permanent first molars in different types of malocclusion

Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Advances and Challenges in Cranio-Maxillofacial Trauma Management Shakir F Mustafa
Recent advances offering three dimensional imaging using high resolution computed tomography (CT) with multi-planar and three dimensional (3D) reconstruction has become an integrated part of modern maxillofacial surgery. Minimally invasive techniques are being increasingly used in maxillofacial procedures using concealed access incisions and employing endoscopicallyassisted techniques.
The use of 3D stereolithographic rapid prototype models from CT data is another advanced way of preoperative planning, model surgery and the adaptation of implants and plates to fit the individual patient’s facial skeleton. Our current approaches to cranio-maxillofacial trauma together with the progression of our computer-aided surgery techniques over the past decade will be presented here.
Learning objectives:
To understand current concepts in the management of maxillofacial trauma in the UK
To explore the role of high quality imaging in the diagnosis, planning and delivery of complex maxillofacial procedures
To learn about the application of SLA plastic models of the facial skeleton in preoperative planning
To gain an understanding of the use of custom-made implants for the reconstruction of cranio-maxillofacial defects
One of the major goals of orthognathic surgery is to improve patient’s masticatory function by altering skeletal and occlusal relationships. The current knowledge of jaw function relates it only to temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and that disease and dysfunction of TMJ deranges mastication function. However, recent years research has shown that natural jaw function is not only a result of TMJ function, but an integrated jaw- neck function. This new concept for jaw function was studied in subjects with dentofacial anomaly before and after orthognathic surgery.
Learning objectives:
Individuals with dentofacial anomaly present with diverse jaw-neck motor behaviour
To study the degree of neuromascular plasticity in the jaw-neck system as a respose to altered sensory function by the surgical correction
Neck function and status supposed to be a part of normal examination in patients planned for orthognathic surgery and even TMD patients
Patients operated for dentofacial anomaly should be offered post op physiotherapy for specific learning of new motor programs (jaw-neck movements) and correction of previous ineffective motor behaviour

How much caries should be removed for a filling Edwin Kidd
The current operative tradition of complete caries removal prior to placing a filling may not fit with our current concept of what constitutes caries. Evidence from fissure sealant studies, stepwise excavation studies and trials where definitive restorations have been placed over soft demineralised dentine, shows what happens when the infected caries lesion in dentine is sealed in the tooth. The cautious approach of avoiding exposure in symptomless, vital teeth may be preferable to attempting complete caries removal.

Pulp repair or regeneration: new strategies Michel Goldberg
After an arrested carious decay, restorative procedures stimulate the formation of reactionary dentin beneath a calcio-traumatic line. These events are controlled by the odontoblasts. The thickening of the residual dentin layer displays a protective role for the pulp. If the progress of the lesion leads to pulp contamination by microorganisms in association with the destruction of odontoblasts and Hoehl’s cells (sub-odontoblastic cells), pulp STEM cells may be activated. They contribute to the formation of reparative dentin in the coronal part of the tooth, occluding the pulp exposure. Thereafter, the formation of reactionary dentin within the root leads to the gradual reduction of the lumen and ultimately to the total pulp closure. Direct pulp capping leading to pulp tissue repair after a trauma or after a pulp exposure may be stimulated by some extracellular matrix proteins and/or by pulp odonto/osteoblast progenitors. The proteins implanted in the exposed pulp are implicated in the commitment, proliferation and differentiation of genuine cells contributing to the formation of a dense dentinal bridge or to larger areas of pulp mineralization. After implantation of progenitor pulp cell lines, in some experimental conditions, pulp mineralization may be observed in the coronal part of the pulp or along the whole root canal. This may provide interesting alternative therapy better than endodontic treatments. The potential repair of the dental pulp may leads either to pulp regeneration, involving the formation of an artificial pulp, vascularized and innervated, or to the complete filling of the lumen of the root canal by a homogeneous mineralized structure.
Learning objectives:
Reactionary dentin is produced after indirect capping by the odontoblasts and Hoehl’s cells
Reparative dentin results from STEM pulp cells differentiation
Either STEM cells or progenitor lines can be implanted within the dental pulp
Or bioactive extracellular molecules can recruit pulp cells. These later will differentiate and contribute to the formation of reparative dentin

Non-Prepveneers-Possibilities and Limitation Andreas Kurbad
For dentists the treatment with ceramic veneers is by far not so easy like in the patients mind. Before the treatment starts an excellent planning must be done. It is based on the clinical diagnostics, situation models, x-rays and photos. In complex cases an interdisciplinary consultation is useful.
More and more so called ‘Non-Prep veneers’ are promoted in the dental market by companies, which are offering very simple and quick solutions. There are some difficulties in the work with those kinds of restorations, dentist should urgently pay attention for. In most of the cases a very thin ceramic layer has to cover the underground color. This has a special importance in those cases when a much brighter appearance has to be achieved like in the existing dentition and this happens relatively often. Then an opaque material must be used and the consequence is the loss of the visibility of all the internal structures of the teeth like mamelons or halo. In those thin material thicknesses we have fewer possibilities to change the form of the teeth and their alignment. There is no preparation because there is no kind of chamfer or shoulder at the margin of the restoration. Such thin restorations are difficult to produce because of the brittleness of the ceramic material. The same problem appears during the cementation process. The handling must be very careful. Last but not least those cases need a very precise planning. It can’t be a good idea to send impressions to company without making any own thoughts and get the finished restorations back.
Learning objectives:
Choose the right ceramic type to be used in the non prep veneers
Dentists today should have a detailed knowledge about the types of dental ceramics, their properties and the special demands in the use of the

Review of treatment modalities for the over closed vertical dimension i.e. correcting deep overbites and improving brachyfacial profiles Derek Mahony
A Class II Division 2 malocclusion is characterized by retroclination of the maxillary anterior teeth. This type of malocclusion is usually transformed into a Class II Division 1 malocclusion by proclination of the maxillary incisors and then treated as a Division 1 malocclusion. However, because of some specific morphologic characteristics, including the retroclination of maxillary incisors, a deep bite with a tendency to a brachycephalic facial pattern, and poor soft-tissue profile, a non-extraction approach to treat Class II Division 2 malocclusions is recommended.
Learning objectives:
Understand the correct diagnosis for a Class II division 2 low angle malocclusion

Outpatient Surgical-Orthodontics Donald Ferguson
Surgical correction of moderate to severe facial or jaw deformity typically involves a costly inpatient procedure, general anesthesia and brief hospital stay. Exceptions include surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion performed on a day-surgery basis. Many well recognized skeletal deformities can be resolved on an outpatient basis with excellent, uncompromised clinical results or outcomes utilizing orthodontics combined with alveolar decortication and grafting, a convenient and cost effective technique. The key to knowing when, where and how selective alveolar decortication applies to correcting skeletal malocclusion is to understand how to use the body’s own healing to facilitate treatment and increase stability.
Learning objectives:
Describe which malocclusions are amenable to outpatient surgicalorthodontics and why
Understand the difference between osteotomy and decortication healing on orthodontic tooth movement
Differentiate which cases are best treated by in-patient orthognathic surgery and by outpatient decortication
Describe how “Surgery First” for treatment of Class III malocclusion differs from decortication technique

Clinical Indications of Bone Graft in Periodontic Practice Mohammed Koleilat
Periodontal diseases are characterized radiographically by moderate to advanced bone loss. Vertical or angular bone loss is treated surgically by guided tissue regenaration.
Gtr is applied to improve long term clinical outcomes of periodontally involved teeth. This treatment objective is to obtain shallow and maintainable pockets by reconstruction of the lost attachment by new alveolar bone, new cementum and new ligament. Furcation defects are treated even by gtr or by resective therapy upon the classification and the prognosis. periodontally hope less or unrestorable teeth are extracted and replaced immediately or later by dental implants. Often times dental implants placement is complicated by inadequate bone volume. Guide bone regenaration is used to augment bone around implants or to build deficient alveolar ridge prior to dental implants placement.
Autogenous bone is the gold standard for defect regeneration. Allogenic or xenogenic bone grafts are alternatives to autogenous graft harvested from donor site. These grafts are availiable in unlimited supply.also they provided acceptable clinical results.Different clinical applications of bone graft used in periodontal regeneration and peri implant bony defect will be illustrated by using autogenous or synthetic bone graft will be discussed.So the indications of bone graft use in periodontic practice will be summarized with different clinical options and scenario.

Immediate Implant: Basic Concepts, Current Clinical Applications Mohammed Sulaiman
In many situations where tooth preservation becomes impractical, teeth can be extracted and replaced by dental implants. Insertion of dental implant in fresh extraction socket has been gaining popularity in the last years.
The immediate placement could offer advantages over the delayed implant placement. Several advantages for both patients and clinicians, including shorter treatment time, less bone remodelling, fewer surgical sessions, and easier definition of the implant position. Moreover, it has provide implant dentistry the opportunity to achieve better and faster functional and aesthetic results.
This presentation will review the important clinical outcome for immediate implants and the advantages and disadvantages of this procedure. It will also discuss the clinical steps for the placement of dental implants in extraction sockets.
Learning objectives:
Clinical outcome for immediate implants
Advantages and disadvantages of the technique
Clinical steps for the placement of dental implants in extraction sockets

Practical Approach to Implant Dentistry - From Diagnosis to Delivery Ninette Banday
Esthetic outcomes remain a focus in implant dentistry. Success is measured by the quality of the tissue response and the natural appearance of the restoration(s). Recently, digital techniques and implant/component designs have enhanced treatment and esthetic predictability. These include planning and design software options, digital impressions, enhanced all-ceramic materials, and improved manufacturing processes. Each of these has been designed to function with specific implants characterized by improved surfaces and connections. This presentation will discuss these treatment options and designs.
Learning objectives:
Describe contemporary implant / abutment options for a range of aesthetic implant restorations
Recognize contemporary manufacturing options for aesthetic implant restorations
Understand procedures associated with an optimized aesthetic tissue response to implants and restorations of varying materials, size and morphology
Understand contemporary options for planning and fabricating aesthetic restorations, including CAD/CAM technologies and aesthetic dental materials
