Integrating Esthetic Principles with Biology and Implant Design in Simplified and Complex Therapy

Integrating Esthetic Principles with Biology and Implant Design in Simplified and Complex Therapy
For implant therapy to be viable in todayÇƒÙs esthetically demanding environment, the proposed implant supported restoration must cosmetically equal or surpass that of conventional restorative dentistry. In single tooth replacement, esthetics in its fullest sense can be especially challenging, as the need to match adjacent teeth and their surrounding soft tissue is paramount.
This presentation integrates evidence based biological principles with treatment and implant designs to optimize esthetic results. This presentation will present in depth new surgical, restorative and orthodontic esthetic problem solving techniques for the esthetically demanding patient. In addition, the dos and donÇƒÙts of new implant protocols will be highlighted. This will be done throughout by highlighting the Çƒ?TeamÇƒ? dynamics necessary to effectively utilize these new therapeutic modalities by a consistent and systematic blueprint which clearly delineates the responsibilities of each team member thereby allowing predictably successful outcomes.
In addition this presentation outlines the biological, clinical and biomechanical factors that may allow clinicians to reduce or completely eliminate the waiting period to implant loading without sacrificing predictably successful osseointegration. How the utilization of new implant surface microgeometry may enhance the results of early and immediate loading will also be discussed.
Throughout the presentation a review of the literature will be utilized to emphasize what is evidence based and what is clinical hypothesis. Many clinical examples will be used to illustrate the various treatment possibilities for these situations:
Papilla Dilemmas
Threshold level for correction of open gingival embrasures
3 causes ÇƒÏ tooth shape, tooth position, periodontal defects
Learn how Çƒ?black spacesÇƒ? can be corrected.
Learn the new incisionless approach to immediate implant
placement.
Classification of extraction sites and ridge defects.
Preserving the restorative site ÇƒÏ the very essence of esthetics.
Understand why and when immediate loading can be utilized.
Different implant systems ÇƒÏ what to use, where and why.

Maurice Albert Salama, DMD received his D.M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine where he later also received his dual specialty certification in Orthodontics and Periodontics, as well as implant
training at the Br?ïnemark Center at Penn. He is currently on the Faculty of the University of Pennsylvania and the
Medical College of Georgia as Clinical Assistant Professor of Periodontics, and is visiting Professor of Periodontics at Nova University in Florida.
Henry Salama, DMD received his post-doctoral specialty certificates in both periodontics and periodontal-prosthesis, fixed prosthodontics from the University of Pennsylvania. He is the former director of the Implant Research Center, at the University of Pennsylvania, where he continues to be a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of periodontics. Dr. Salama is currently in private practice in Atlanta limited to advanced restorative and implant herapy. His clinical research activities focus on long-term stability of esthetic soft tissue enhancement techniques, as well as immediate and early loading of root form implants.
