Course Overview, 2.5 CEU's,
Cosmetic dentistry is so popular with patients that it comprises one of the fastest growing segments of the dental industry. It is important not only to know how to do cosmetic dentistry, but also how to help the patient accept the treatment plan. This course will teach how to give a case presentation in which patients say yes to needed treatment every time. Easily implemented changes that increase production and actually decrease stress and hours at work will be discussed. This course focuses on techniques that provide dentists and auxiliaries a new perspective on their practice by concentrating on simple, yet proven principals.

Course Objectives:
At the completion of this course the participant will be able to:
• Create a desire for cosmetic dentistry
• Implement proven practice building techniques by providing ideal treatment for patients
• Control their practice by recognizing and supporting the responsibilities of their staff
• Know what to say to patients who say they want to "think it over"
• Implement a proven structure designed to increase retention of new practices

6:45am-7:00am Breakfast/Registration
7:00am-9:30am "Biology and Design of Dental Implants" presented by Dr. James Winkler

Course Overview, 2.5 CEU's
The development of implants as a standard of care has had a long history. This course will discuss the development of the modern implant and the basic concepts of biocompatibility and ossteointegration. Furthermore, the course will explore the histology and microbiology of implants comparing and contrasting them to the natural tooth. In addition, since design, materials used, and surface characteristics of implants continue to evolve we will discuss the development of new implants for today and the future.

Course Objectives:
At the completion of this course the participant will be able to:
• Understand the fundamental differences between different types of implants
• Be familiar with the development of material and surfaces on past and current implants
• Have a better understanding of bio-mechanical hard tissue interface between bone and implants
• Identify basic concepts of ossteointegration
• Understand the histology and microbiology of implants and natural teeth
• Describe considerations in the development of new and future implants

6:45am-7:00am Breakfast/Registration
7:00am-9:30am "Evaluation of Patients and the Placement of Dental Implants" presented by Dr. James Winkler

Course Overview, 2.5 CEU's
This course will consider many factors that are involved in the evaluation of the patient for implant placement and the techniques used in placement. The dental indications for single and multiple implants will be considered. Special attention will be given to the medical and systemic factors that must be considered before and post surgery. Conventional and new radiographic techniques will be evaluated as part of the pre- and post-treatment plan. In addition, the surgical techniques used in implant placement and periodontal considerations around implants will be discussed. Lastly, parameters involved in evaluating short and long-term implant success will be considered.

Course Objectives:
At the completion of this course the participant will be able to:
• Identify factors involved in the case selection of single verses multiple implant placement
• Perform a medical and dental evaluation of the patient as a candidate for implant placement
• Recognize systemic and local factors affecting implant placement
• Understand radiographic techniques used in implant placement
• Identify routine surgical techniques utilized in implant placement
• Discuss considerations and management of soft tissues before and after implant placement
• Identify short and long-term evaluation of implant success

3:45pm-4:00pm Snack/Registration
4:00pm-6:00pm "Implant Site Development and Management of the Implant Complications" presented by Dr. James Winkler

Course Overview, 2.5 CEU's
This course will discuss techniques available to augment implant sites lacking sufficient bone and soft tissue. Overall success and esthetics of implants frequently involves a combination of hard and soft tissue management pre- and post-treatment. The materials and surgical techniques utilized in these augmentations will be discussed in detail. Lastly, the management of short and long-term complications and implant failures will be considered.

Course Objectives
At the completion of this course the participant will be able to:
• Identify development of the implant site by bone regeneration and minor ridge augmentation
• Discuss the management of extraction sites for immediate and delayed implant placement
• Understand the techniques utilized in major supracrestal and vertical bone augmentation
• Identify recent advances in growth factors and bone augmentation techniques related to implant
• Manage implant complications and failures
