Course intro

Dennis and Stephen give a high-level overview of the course.

 

Course outline

The art and science of Treatment Planning is a critical part of our patients' treatment. It starts with determining the proper diagnosis then rendering the most appropriate treatment for the problem.

Digital Esthetic Planning and Biologic Decision-Making

MORNING · DIAGNOSIS AND DIGITAL PLANNING

  • The foundation of predictable outcomes. Diagnosis-driven treatment planning in esthetic implant dentistry.
  • Digital esthetic planning.Technology to optimize tooth proportions, smile design, and outcomes.
  • Clinical and digital mock-ups. Predictable communication between clinician, laboratory, and patient.
  • Multiple missing teeth in the esthetic zone. Strategies for complex implant and prosthetic rehabilitation.
  • Save or replace? Evidence-based decision-making for tooth retention versus implant replacement.
  • Sequencing treatment for success. The ideal order of surgical, periodontal, orthodontic, and restorative therapy.
  • Provisionalization strategies. Maintaining patient comfort and tissue stability throughout treatment.
  • Biologic site development.Procedures to preserve and reconstruct hard and soft tissue architecture.
  • Immediate implant placement. Indications, limitations, and decision-making in fresh extraction sockets.

AFTERNOON · ESTHETIC ANALYSIS

  • Biometric principles in esthetic dentistry. Ideal tooth dimensions, proportions, and occlusal relationships.
  • The role of esthetic gauges.Clinical applications for predictable treatment design.
  • Gap management.Determining when grafting enhances immediate implant outcomes.
  • Ridge reduction considerations. Biological and prosthetic implications of full-arch implant therapy.
  • The central-lateral dilemma. One implant and pontic versus two implant solutions in the esthetic zone.
  • Comprehensive case analysis. Predictable treatment plans for challenging clinical presentations.

Advanced Treatment Strategies and Full-Arch Decision-Making

MORNING · DIGITAL WORKFLOWS AND PROSTHETICS

  • Hands-on esthetic analysis.Practical application of esthetic gauges and digital planning tools.
  • Digital dentistry integration. Streamlining planning, communication, and clinical execution.
  • Pink esthetics. When to restore tissue with prosthetics versus reconstructing the patient's own biology.
  • Medical risk assessment.How systemic health influences planning and clinical decision-making.
  • Fixed versus removable solutions. Selecting overdentures and fixed restorations by patient-specific factors.
  • Occlusal principles for implant dentistry.Establishing long-term function and stability.
  • Tooth-implant connections.Indications, techniques, and considerations for splinting natural teeth to implants.

AFTERNOON · COMPLICATIONS AND RECONSTRUCTION

  • Peri-implantitis management.Prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.
  • Esthetic problem solving.Systematic approaches to correcting existing implant and restorative complications.
  • All-on-X vs. serial extraction protocols.Biologic preservation and predictable full-arch rehabilitation.
  • Digital workflow optimization. Enhancing efficiency from diagnosis through final restoration.
  • Comprehensive clinical case reviews. Applying advanced principles to complex esthetic and implant rehabilitation.
