2009-2010 METRO OMAHA IMPLANT STUDY CLUB

Session 1:  Tuesday, October 20, 2009
CONE BEAM GUIDED SURGERY, IMMEDIATE PROVISIONALIZATION STRATEGIES

Presented by Dr. Jeff Brooks

Clarkson West Medical Center   (144th & West Center Road)
Upstairs Conference Room #201 &  Downstairs Conference Room #117
6:00 - 9:00 pm / Evening Session

Cone Beam CT (CBCT) technology is a relatively new addition to the dental practice that has taken off with exponential growth. CBCT systems are designed to allow for high resolution imaging of the hard tissues of the maxillofacial region. CBCT allows for short scanning times and radiation doses significantly less than traditional scanning techniques. The availability of this technology in the dental practice provides the dental practitioner with an imaging modality capable of providing a 3-D orthogonal representation of the maxillofacial region with no distortion. With the explosive growth of third party dicom software applications, we are able to provide improve treatment for our patients with greater predictability and efficiency.

Dr. Brooks lectures nationally on CBCT, 3rd party dicom software utilization, and 3D guided implantology. He has performed CBCT lectures and provided advanced CBCT training seminars for the last 5 years. He also maintains a technology company DDSi responsible for assisting dentists in integrating all aspects of technology into their practice including network design, network installation/maintenance, transition to digital radiography, and software practice management solutions.

Key Implant Position & Implant Number: A Biomechanical Rationale to Treatment Planning

Presented by Dr. Carl Misch

Boys Town National Hospital West
14000 Hospital Road (140th & Pacific Street)
Conference Room
8:30  am – 5 pm / All Day Session

In every treatment plan for missing multiple teeth there are key implant positions, which are more important, related to biomechanics.  There are four guidelines to determine these positions. (1) No cantelivers (2) No 3 adjacent pontics (3) The canine and first molar rules (4) Arch dynamics Cantilevers are force magnifiers.  Three adjacent pontics not only overload the adjacent abutment, the flexure of the metal is 27 times the flexure of a 1 pontic prosthesis.   The canine and first molar are key positions for an arch, and whenever missing should be replaced with an implant (rather than a pontic).  Arch dynamics (especially for a maxilla) require the structure to be considered as a 5 sided open pentagon.  At least 1 implant in each section is required for each edentulous segment.   Once these key positions are determined, the additional implants required to restore the patient are considered based upon patient force factors and the bone density in the edentulous sites.  Breakfast and lunch will be provided.


Session 3: Friday, April 30, 2010

The Zygoma Implant: History, comcept, loading possibilities, immediate vs. delayed, restorative, full arch, partial, compromised patient & complications

Presented by Dr. Stephen Parel

Clarkson West Medical Center  (144th & West Center Road)

Downstairs Conference Room #117
12 noon – 4:30 pm / Afternoon Session

Dr. Stephen Parel received his DDS from The Medical College of Virginia in 1969. He spent one year as a general practice resident with the Veterans Administration Hospital in Richmond, which was followed by a two-year residency in Prosthodontics at Wadsworth VA Hospital in Los Angeles. He received his Maxillofacial Prosthetics training in Houston at the M.D. Anderson Hospital & Tumor Institute in 1973. He became a faculty member in the University of Texas System in 1975, and became a professor in the San Antonio Medical and Dental Schools in 1978.  He served as head of the Maxillofacial Prosthetics Division in the Department of Prosthodontics until 1991, which was followed by seven years of private practice in prosthetic and implant dentistry.  Lunch Buffet will be provided at 11:30 am and session will begin at 12 noon.

Session 4 :  Friday, July 23, 2010

OHIO STATE IMPLANT DENTISTRY: WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED THAT CAN HELP YOUR PRACTICE.


Presented by Dr. Edwin McGlumphy

Thank you to Nobel Biocare for their sponsorship of this session

Boys Town National Hospital West 
14000 Hospital Road (140th & Pacific Street)  Conference Room
12  – 4:30 pm / Afternoon Session

Dr. McGlumphy is a 2007 Nobel Biocare World conference speaker. The implant dentist and patient want the same things: restorations that look good, done as quickly as possible and remaining trouble free over the long term. This program will address the issues of implant placement and abutment selection that allow consistent and affordable implant esthetics. Likewise implant strength rotational features, torque control and occlusion unique to contemporary implant systems will be discussed. Particular emphasis will be given to practical applications of biomechanical principles to assure long term, successful implant restorations.  Lunch buffet will be available at 11:30 am and session will begin at 12 noon.
