GS3: RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF THE MEDICALLY-COMPROMISED PATIENT

8:00 - 10:00 am
Program Tracks: Associate Member, Periodontal Medicine
Moderator: TBD
Speakers: Brian L. Mealey, Salvatore L. Ruggiero, Sidney C. Smith, Jr.
The periodontist is critical in managing the treatment of patients with systemic complexities. This course will cover three medical issues which impact treatment decisions: diabetes, bisphosphonates and anticoagulant therapy. In a patient with diabetes, successful periodontal therapy requires glycemic control, while successful medical treatment is facilitated by good oral health. Critical strategies for patient care based on an improved understanding of diabetes and its current medical management will be presented. The second section will update bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Anticoagulant therapy may alter treatment planning and interact with other medications. A physician’s view of our role in management of the patient on this type of therapy will be presented.
Educational Objectives:

Understand current diagnostic parameters for diabetes and methods for objectively assessing glycemic control.
Comprehend contemporary medical strategies in managing diabetes and their impact on periodontal therapy.
Review the clinical signs and symptoms of BRONJ, risk factors and treatment algorithms.

Program Track: Periodontal Plastic Surgery/Oral Reconstructive Surgery
Moderator: Robert A. Faiella
Speakers: David S. Greenfield, Kirk L. Pasquinelli, Michael K. Sonick, Hom-Lay Wang
Achieving appropriate esthetic results for the natural dentition mandates careful evaluation of several factors. This presentation will address achieving soft tissue augmentation in cases with shallow vestibular depth in both anterior and posterior applications. A variety of techniques for this demanding problem will be explored: connective tissue (bi-laminar) grafting, coronally advanced flaps, autogenous (mono-laminar) gingival grafts and acellular dermal matrix. The indications, advantages and clinical technique for each application will be presented.
Educational Objectives:

Understand the limitations presented by the shallow mandibular vestibule and the principles of each technique for proper case selection.
Learn the techniques available to address gingival augmentation for this challenging presentation in both anterior and posterior sites.
Ascertain technique modifications for successful outcomes without further reduction in vestibular depth.

FCE7: NARROW DIAMETER IMPLANTS: EXPANDING YOUR OPTIONS

10:15 - 11:45 am
Program Track: Implants
Moderator: Sang-Choon Cho
Speaker: Stuart J. Froum
Narrow diameter implants (NDIs) add a valuable and unique treatment modality, thus increasing the opportunity to use implants in patients who would not be candidates for conventional implant treatment. Two types of NDIs will be discussed in this presentation, which will provide a thorough review of all uses of such implants. Step-by-step procedures will be shown to familiarize the participants in the surgical, immediate temporization, final prosthetic treatments and ridge augmentation procedures with block grafts, and guided bone regeneration. Home-study references and materials including clinical photographs will be provided to each participant.
Educational Objectives:

Become familiar with the armamentarium, surgical placement and provisionalization of NDIs in areas of limited spaced, atrophic bone and as support for immediate loaded restorations.
Learn the advantages of using NDIs with screw-retained restorations for ease of retrievability.
Understand the variety of ridge augmentation procedures (block grafts, GBR, allograft blocks) where employing NDIs facilitated the success of the augmentation.

FCE8: THE UNIVERSAL IMPLANT TREATMENT ALGORITHM

10:15 - 11:45 am
Program Tracks: Associate Member, Implants
Moderator: Alan L. Rosenfeld
Speaker: Richard A. Mecall
The purpose of this program is to create a systematic method using SimPlant software to analyze diagnostic information that has checkpoints, which suggest that the treatment plan is acceptable or needs further investigation. The use of a basic treatment pathway and a universal implant treatment algorithmis the centerpiece for computerguided decision-making and implant treatment planning. This presentation will apply an algorithm to four familiar implant restorations, of which common patterns of treatment for each case type will be explained. Application of the universal implant treatment algorithm will allow both experienced and non-experienced dentists to achieve comparable results using CT, and will easily determine what procedures are needed and their sequence in order to solve a patient’s problem. It will also suggest the optimal type of final restoration and accurate determination of fees.
Educational Objectives:

Review common normal and pathologic findings using CT.
Assess basic treatment pathways and universal implanttreatment algorithms to simplify computer-guided implant treatment planning.
Evaluate familiar patterns of treatment for five case types that will allow the periodontist to more effectively consult with the patient and referring colleagues.

FCE9: LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: PROTECTING YOUR ASSETS

10:15 - 11:45 am
Program Tracks: Associate Member, Practice Development and Management
Moderator: Jeanne M. Salcetti
Speaker: Nathan Reynolds
In today’s litigious environment, litigation can come from your employees and patients alike. Some of the current areas leading to litigation will be presented, along with recommendations to limit the risk to your biggest asset... your practice and you.
Educational Objectives:

Gain knowledge of business/practice management risks to your practice.
Learn about treatment risks to one’s practice.
Provide information on the management of the risks in order to protect yourself and your practice.

GS4: INTERDISCIPLINARY MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPLEX ESTHETIC CASE

1:00 - 3:00 pm
Program Tracks: Associate Member, Interdisciplinary Therapy
Moderator: Robert A. Faiella
Speakers: Bobby L. Butler, Greggory A. Kinzer, Ward M. Smalley
Each day, dentists are faced with helping patients resolve complex cosmetic dental problems. The demand for an esthetic as well as functional solution has elevated the level of care over the past two decades to meet our patient’s expectations. The interdisciplinary team composed of the restorative dentist, periodontist, orthodontist, endodontist and oral surgeon can provide the necessary expertise to solve complex dilemmas. The knowledge and skill of the “team” can properly diagnose and treat these cases, provided the coordination and sequence of treatment is understood. The attendee will understand which dental cases should involve certain specialty team members, and how to sequence their care. Specific cases involving a combination of comprehensive orthodontics cosmetic crown lengthening, gingival augmentation, ridge augmentation and esthetic implant placement will be shown. Patient cases will involve multiple team members and difficult clinical problems.
Educational Objectives:

Recognize which cases would benefit from the interdisciplinary team.
Demonstrate that the quality and experience level of specialty care contributes to the level of successful outcomes.
Understand how various procedures such as orthodontic site development, implant anchorage, periodontal crown lengthening, gingival augmentation and prosthetic provisional restorations may be required to optimize esthetic outcomes.
