In-Person EventJul 20 - 22, 2018Los Angeles, California, USA
Speakers
OVERVIEW
Esthetic Full-Mouth Implant Reconstruction: Advanced Prosthodontic Techniques for Challenging Patients (Module I, II, & III) is organized by Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of University of Southern California (USC) and will be held from Jul 20 - 22, 2018 at Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC, Los Angeles, California, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 21 Continuing Education Credits.
Conference Description:
Individual patient conditions may present challenges that are not readily addressed in a generic treatment approach. Some of these include patients who are about to lose their entire dentition but refuse to remain without fixed restorations throughout treatment. Other patients present with phonetic difficulties, lack of tongue space or poor adaptability to new prostheses. Additional challenges involve edentulous patients who present with pre-existing implants in severely compromised positions. These conditions require customization of the treatment plan to address specific patient needs. The appropriate treatment sequence for these challenging conditions will be presented with attention to details that are critical to a successful reconstruction with proper esthetics and function.
In this unique simulation, participants will learn to meticulously create a full-arch impression coping assembly and a verification cast that accurately represent the patient’s condition. The verification cast is designed to be sent to the laboratory as a precise prescription for implant framework fit. The technician can use it to form an accurate framework and cut and solder predictably without the need to see the patient again; thus eliminating the need for intra-oral solder indices and multiple framework trials. This is the core technique to establish accurate CAD/CAM frameworks with the predictable passive fit. It provides direct control over laboratory made frameworks, simplifies the treatment and enhances the predictability of implant reconstruction.
