	Dr. Samuel M. Strong, DDS, DICOI Removable Implant Overdentures: Lecture and Hands-on Workshop Restoring Nobel Biocare implants with removable overdentures has become one of the most popular solutions to edentulism. As an expert in this field, Dr. Strong will illustrate principles and procedures to insure success with these types of cases. The lecture features new materials and techniques for producing exquisite master impressions and for registering centric relation with unmatched accuracy. Among the many valuable features of this presentation, Dr. Strong will provide solutions to the two most common issues with removable cases: getting accurate impressions and registration of centric relation. This program promises an enthusiastic, multimedia presentation that has been acclaimed by dentists as providing a means for immediately incorporating removable implant prosthetics into the restorative practice. Hands-on Workshop Using models, impression copings, implant analogs, overdenture abutments, impression trays, impression material, and pickup material you will perform: - Tray selection and preparation for the master impression - Making an implant level impression for an overdenture - Making an abutment level impression for an overdenture - Selection of the proper height for the overdenture abutment - Pickup of attachment and housing from workshop model   $99 cost for materials for hands-on portion

	Dr. E. Dwayne Karateew Contemporary Concepts in Tooth Replacement: A Major Paradigm Shift The principle focus of implant dentistry has changed significantly from the era of ‘Anatomically driven implant placement’ to the current practice of ‘Restoration driven implant placement’. When we now look at the failing dentition in the aesthetic zone we now must immediately consider conversion to implants. We are continually seeking greater control of the peri-implant tissues and ultimately the aesthetics of the restoration. A new paradigm shift, “Tissue Care Concept” along with advances in implant surface engineering and implant/abutment designs allow us to consider immediate implant replacement, especially in the aesthetic zone, where preservation of hard and soft tissue is of paramount importance in order follow the principles of aesthetics by maintaining the elements which are already there. This program will enhance your implant practice by addressing the following: - A review of ‘where we have been’ with implant dentistry - Lay the basis for an understanding of where we are now - Provide an bio-mechanical understanding for the current trend in immediate implant replacement - Formulate a scientific basis for pushing the envelope of immediate implant placement and immediate non-functional loading of the implant - Discuss the “Tissue Care Concept” This multimedia presentation, incorporating video, animations, computerized graphics and clinical images is a detailed course for generalists and specialists including their respective support staff. It will help them broaden their understanding in the philosophy and science behind the new and exciting horizons currently being investigated. Location: Payal Banquets 3410 Semenyk Crt Misissauga, ON

	Dr. Bud Mopper Combining Art and Science The Key to Superior Esthetic Results with Direct Resin Bonding The all day presentation is packed full of how to’s and he keeps no secrets. The wide screen PowerPoint Program accurately tells the story in stepwise sequences. Course objectives are learn how to: - Utilize today’s composite resin materials to their best advantages - Make Class III, IV and V restorations totally “invisible” - Close diastemas noninvasively and invisibly - Make direct composite veneers look like the real thing and not just a plastic overlay. - Create esthetic restorative orthodontic corrections. - Restore mutilated dentitions. - Use opaquers and tints to scatter and block light, change color, create opacity and translucency and increase and decrease value. - Contour, characterize, and finish final restorations in order to make them believable and compatible with the soft tissue. - Properly polish restorations to acquire a long lasting, easily maintainable enamel-like luster. - Create the most lifelike, esthetic, and truly believable restorations possible. - Make invisible repairs of all kinds on resin, porcelain or metal. - Accurately diagnose esthetic needs. - Learn a philosophy of practice and communication that allows the patient to understand and easily accept proposed treatment plans.
