A Systematic Approach to Predictable Esthetics
Gerard J. Chiche, DDS and AvishaiSadan, DMD

At the end of the course participants will be able to:

1. Formulate, present, and discuss detailed custom-tailored treatment plans for a wide spectrum of patients.

2. Employ preventive and maintenance measurement to ensure long-term success.

3. Select the appropriate all-ceramic systems in a variety of clinical applications.

4. Select the proper cements or adhesives required to deliver the various all-ceramic restorations.

5. Make final impressions that meticulously and accurately reproduce all the details of prepared natural and artificial abutments.
Esthetic Principles
Pascal Magne, PhD, DMD:

 At the end of the course participants will be familiar with:

1. Basic principles of natural oral esthetics.

2. A checklist of important criteria for esthetic restorative success.

3. Gingival esthetics and challenges related to the loss of inter-dental tissues in fixed partial dentures and implant-supported restorations.
Understanding Visual Balance and Facial Architecture
 Michel Magne, CDT:

At the end of the course participants will be familiar with:

1. The research on what humans are innately attracted to and call “esthetic” about faces and teeth.

2. The key visual elements of esthetic interpretation related to dentistry.
Implant Esthetics: Where Are We Today?
Urs C. Belser, DMD

At the end of the course participants will:

1. Be familiar with treatment protocols currently used to predictably restore esthetics and function in the partially edentulous anterior maxilla, as well aslong-term data relating to anterior implants and esthetic parameters.

2. Be prepared to perform a pre-operative analysis and make decisions related to placement and loading of implants in single tooth, adjacent tooth, and more extended edentulous segments.

3. Be familiar with recently introduced implant designs and restorative components.
Dentistry in the Virtual World
Steve Ratcliff, DDS, MS

At the end of the course participants will be:

1. Familiar with a virtual articulator under development.

2. Able to envision diagnosis and complex treatment planning using software that creates 3D images from the patient’s 3D scan and replicates all of the mandibular movements of the patient.
What’s Under the Hood?
George F. Warga, DDS

At the end of the course participants will:

1. Understand the dynamics of loading implants based on prosthetic design.

2. Be able to evaluate forces for single tooth implants.

3. Be able to evaluate forces for splinted implants.

4. Be able to evaluate forces for cantilevered implants.
Implants and Comprehensive Care
John Orsi, DDS:

At the end of the course participants will:

1. Have reviewed implant cases successfully treated by a highly interactive and collaborative interdisciplinary team.

2. Be inspired to raise their standard of interdisciplinary collaboration for achieving best comprehensive care.
Phased Comprehensive Treatment for Success and Predictability
Jeffrey Baggett, DDS:

At the end of the course participants will have learned how to:

1. Achieve excellent esthetic and restorative results with phased treatment.

2. Test the proposed solution to determine whether it meets the restorative needs and desires of the patient by utilizing exquisite provisional’s and composites in a process of discovery that mirrors the desired outcome to ensure esthetic and functional results.
Increasing the Diagnostic Value of Your Photographic Images
James F. Fondriest, DDS:

At the end of the course participants will be able to:

1. Angulate and expose better portrait and intraoral photographic images specifically for diagnosis.

2. Angulate and expose better portrait and intraoral photographic images specifically for treatment planning.

3. Angulate and expose better portrait and intraoral photographic images specifically for lab communication.

4. Angulate and expose better portrait and intraoral photographic images specifically for Interdisciplinary communication.

5. Communicate the patient’s circumstances with as few photographic images as possible.
Combining Aesthetic Priority and Functional Integrity with a Secret Pearl for Success
Michael C. Fling, DDS:

At the end of the course participants will have learned about:

1. Functional principles affecting the prognosis of esthetic treatment.

2. The application of both esthetic and functional principles for clinical success.
Becoming an Eagle
Irwin M. Becker, DDS

At the end of the course, participants will:

1. Know Dr. Becker’s definition of long-lasting success.

2. Have been challenged to raise personal standards of dentistry.
