Restorative Factors: Inducing Periodontal Complications

Restorative Factors: Inducing Periodontal Complications
Faculty: Scott Froum, DDS, Chris Salierno, DDS
FREE 1CE credit hour from IneedCE.com

Cosmetics, health, function, and long-term prognosis all depend upon accurately assessing how a patient presents and then determining how to proceed. Individual patient considerations include oral hygiene, the presence of removable prostheses, the status and contouring of restorations, gingival anatomy, long-span fixed prostheses and caries. Attention should be given to the periodontal-restorative dynamic throughout all the stages of treatment from diagnosis and treatment planning to final insertion.

The overall goal of this course is to provide the participant with information on the restorative considerations and factors that can impact periodontal health. Upon completion of this course, the participant will:

•Know the restorative factors associated with periodontal disease.

•Know the importance of biologic width and considerations in the placement of restorative margins.

•Understand the importance of full treatment planning that takes into consideration appropriate restoration designs for periodontal health, and the appropriate sequence of treatment for a given patient.

Material Selection and Clinical guidelines for “New Age” Ceramics and Adhesive Cements

On Demand classes provided by Kerr

Material Selection and Clinical guidelines for “New Age” Ceramics and Adhesive Cements
Presenter: Dr. Edward McLaren
CE Credits: 1 Release Date: 10/28/2009

The new millennium has brought many advances in dental ceramics and adhesive cements. None more important than processing techniques using CAD-CAM technology and self-etch adhesive cements. It is possible today to generate almost any type of indirect dental restoration with a CAD-CAM device. This presentation will cover the different types of restoration possibilities, with conventional and CAD-CAM technologies, along with the clinical steps from preparation to adhesive cementation of various types of all ceramic restorations.

Topics include:

-Materials selection based on clinical condition
-Preparation guidelines
-Impressioning
-To Seal Dentin or not to Seal?
-The “in-office” digital dental lab
-Cement and Cementation
