Is Complete Dentures Still Relevant in a World Ruled by Dental Implants?

Although dental implant treatment options for edentulous patients are plenty, research has shown that less than 20% of patients received implant treatment of edentulous mandibles. Major reasons for patient declining implant treatment were the financial costs, the need for surgery, and phobia of pain.

Conventional complete dentures continue being one of the most common and traditional prosthodontic treatment options for edentulous patients. For patients who cannot or will not accept implants treatment, properly designed, and executed removable dentures can be the treatment of choice for many patients. As a result, it is important for a clinician to be familiar with all the treatment alternatives and educate patients on its advantages, disadvantages.

This seminar is ideal for those who are looking to improve clinical success in treating complete dentures patients. Dr Hezel Cohen will highlight the knowledge and skills you need to assess, treatment plan and treat patients requiring complete dentures.

"My First Implant – Step-by-Step Implant Planning" the first of a three-part series of seminars which aims to provide a step-by-step guide on basic implant dentistry.

Since the introduction of osseointegrated dental implants in the 1960’s, the scope of prosthodontic rehabilitation has dramatically changed. With high success rates being reported, dental implants have now become the standard of care for patients with a reduced dentition. Patient expectation and demand for long term success can only be met with careful planning, meticulous surgical approach, precise prosthetic construction, implementation of maintenance recall, early identification, and management of complications. Our "My First Implant" series of seminars is suitable for: Candidates who are new to implant dentistry and wish to acquire adequate knowledge before embarking on simple clinical cases. Candidates who have implant experience but wish to fill in knowledge gaps before proceeding onto more complex clinical cases. Part I – Step-by-Step Diagnostic and Implant Planning Understanding of Implant Systems and Components Understanding of Implant Osseointegration Differences between Teeth and Implants 9 Diagnostic Keys Patient Selection Medical and Dental Risk Assessment Prosthodontic Options Soft Tissue Contour Aesthetic Assessment Diagnostic Data Collection 3D Space Assessment Radiographic Assessment Timing of Implant Surgery, Loading Protocol and Temporisation Hands-On – Use of SAC Implant Risk Assessment Tool

Implant treatment has continued to provide a promising alternative for many patients with a reduced dentition. With high biological and financial costs, many patients expect a functional and aesthetic result that lasts, but for some, implant complications have become a disappointing reality. Doubts were cast on whether dental implants being a Panacea, or instead we should better strive to save teeth.

In this seminar, we will showcase various implant complications and discuss how they could have been avoided and how they will now need to be managed.

Places are limited and preference will be given to International Team for Implantology (ITI) members. Non-members can attend one Study Club meeting as a guest at no cost. Guests are then invited to sign up for ITI membership in order to continue attending ITI Study Club meetings and also benefit from a variety of additional ITI membership benefits (www.iti.org).

Cosmetic dentistry is one the fastest-growing field in the dental industry. It primarily focuses on the improvement of dental aesthetics by creating a brighter overall smile, hence often associated with ceramic or porcelain veneers. Thanks to technology, such as 3D printing, digital smile design, and innovations in veneers, cosmetic dentistry is expected to remain a popular request by patients.

An effective and efficient structure is required during the Initial Treatment-Planning process, which could potentially lead to exquisitely beautiful results with minimal tooth preparation and no negative side effect. While it could easily become a destructive, unforeseeable, and often unsuccessful procedure if the dentist is not confident.

This seminar is part of our 24 month Prosthodontic Mini Residency Certificate Program, though you don't have to be enrolled in the program to register.

Attendees will learn about:

Ceramic Veneers Indications for Anterior Bonded Ceramic Restorations Initial Treatment-Planning & Diagnostic Approach Preparation, Impression & Provisionalization Try-in & Adhesive Luting Procedure

Teeth Whitening Mechanism of Action Types of Products Available Indications & Contra-indications Treatment of Tooth Sensitivity

Treatment planning is a process that ties all the loose ends from the consultation and diagnostic process, leading to the creation of a “roadmap” that aims for a rewarding result. Besides the knowledge of various prosthodontic techniques driven by aesthetic and functional needs, a dentist must follow a comprehensive and structured step by step approach to create treatment plans that offer predictable solutions to their patients.   This fourth seminar of our 24 month Prosthodontic Mini Residency Certificate Program is an interactive session that will cover:

• Basic principles of smile design
• How to pre-empt treatment limitations and obstacles
• Case demonstration
  • Smile design - aesthetic treatment planning
  • Traditional and digital tools for smile design
• Hands on - smile design exercises
• Understanding occlusion schemes
• Occlusal case complexity assessment: conformative vs. reorganised approaches
• Aesthetic driven changes – its impact on occlusal scheme function

Registration fee applies. Light dinner and non-alcoholic beverages will be served along with the presentation. If interested, please contact events@perthpros.com.au

Over the past decade, patients desiring to transition from a hopeless dentition into an implant-supported fixed prosthesis have increased. These complex rehabilitations require extensive treatment planning, both in the surgical and restorative phases of treatment. This seminar focuses on restoration-driven implant treatment planning to achieve optimal treatment outcomes. Treatment planning includes data collection, surgical guide selection, implant position, provisionalisation, definitive restoration design, and occlusion. Correct treatment planning improves the dentist’s ability to enhance aesthetic and prosthetic outcomes and maximise the potential to ensure optimal occlusion and implant loading. Presenter: Dr Pranai Nakaparksin Cost: Free (ITI membership is not required) If interested, please contact events@perthpros.com.au Perth ITI Study Club member bonus Perth ITI Study Club members are invited to join Drs Janice Kan and Armand Putra for a sit-down dinner at The University Club of Western Australia.

This is the first seminar of our Prosthodontic Mini-Residency Certificate Program and was initially presented in March 2020 by Drs Janice Kan and Armand Putra at The University Club of Western Australia. It was very well-received. Not all interested parties were able to attend and we have had regular requests for the seminar since, so the decision was made to deliver it again this year as a webinar in a more concise format.   The Consultation and Diagnostic Process Presented by Drs Janice Kan & Armand Putra Date: Wednesday 3rd June 2020 Time: 6:30pm to 8:30pm (AWST) CPD: 2 hours Cost: Free *Online meeting details will be provided closer to the date to those that have registered* Should you require any further information or to register for this webinar, please contact me via events@perthpros.com.au or on +61 474 977 227   The consultation and diagnostic process is the beginning of a shared patient-clinician “journey” at your practice. Take the time to make an impression or rush the patient out the door? An effective and efficient structure in this process is important to identify your patients’ dental and cosmetic needs, and to facilitate the creation of a “roadmap” which leads to a rewarding result. This first seminar of our 24 month Prosthodontic Mini-Residency Certificate Program is an interactive session that will cover: First Consultation – from phone to surgery Consultation process pathways Systematic structure of consultation process Patient complaints, psychological and dental assessment Diagnostic data collection Aesthetic consultation structure Assessment of individual tooth restorability – endo, perio and pros considerations Explanation of problem list and summary of diagnoses Communication skills and techniques

Some patients may enter your practice and demand for a beautiful smile. Others may enter your practice, not knowing that they can dream of having a beautiful smile. Only with the knowledge of the “Golden Standards” in dental aesthetics, can a dentist confidently identify the cosmetic problems and offer predictable solutions to their patients.   This second seminar of our 24 month Prosthodontic Mini Residency Certificate Program is an interactive session that will cover:

• The art and science of
  • Dentofacial features

“All on 4” treatment concept is a highly complex surgical and prosthodontic procedure that has received much attention with successful and extensive marketing. As a result, it is fast becoming a popular and sometimes the “default” treatment, both for prospective patients and clinicians. However, “All on 4” is only one of many techniques available for the total implant rehabilitation of patients with terminal dentition or edentulous arches. With high expectation for long term functional and aesthetic results due to financial costs and risks involved, a clinician should have a thorough understanding of the implant procedure and educate patients on its advantages, disadvantages and treatment alternatives. In this seminar, the following topics will be covered:

• What parameters should be considered in the treatment planning of full arch implant cases?
• Is “All on 4” really suitable for all patients? Its indications, advantages and disadvantages.
• What alternative treatments are available?
• What prosthetic materials are available in the construction of fixed and removable implant prostheses?

Through the restoration of heavily broken down teeth and replacement of lost teeth in worn dentition, prosthodontic rehabilitation aims to restore form, function and aesthetics and bring about relative stability of dental arches. Rehabilitative strategies can vary. It is important to note that there is no absolute stability under hostile oral conditions. Hence, it is crucial to identify, control and eliminate (if possible) the aetiological factors that may have resulted in the predicament in the first place, as this may help to prolong the success and survival of restored dentition. This course is designed to provide a better understanding in the identification of aetiological factors, diagnosis and treatment planning with various management approaches. Key topics to be covered: History taking, examination and diagnostic record taking. Types of tooth wear and aetiological factors: Physiological vs. pathological wear. Attrition, abrasion, abfraction, erosion, congenital tooth disorders. Treatment approach: Prevention and monitoring strategies – remineralisation techniques, dentine bonding agents and direct composites. Live Demonstration 1 Analogue vs digital impression, facebow mounting and bite registration, diagnostic was up. Facial and dental analysis. Prosthodontic rehabilitation: Determination of the amount of interarch prosthetic space available. Assessment of the adequacy of retention and resistance form. Conformative vs. reorganised approach. Treatment modalities for different wear distribution – localised or generalised wear. Choice of appropriate OVD and occlusal scheme. Live Demonstration 2 Mock up – showcase chairside vs. digital mock ups. Choice of restorative materials. Conventional vs adhesive techniques. Maintenance of prosthodontic rehabilitation.
