Sunday, Sept. 10, 2017 FCE2: Immediate Implants: What You Need to Know to Be Successful


10:15–11:45 a.m. Program Track: Implants


Moderator: Christopher M. Bingham Speaker: Barry D. Wagenberg


This program will aid participants in developing confidence in immediate implant treatment modalities. Dr. Wagenberg placed his first immediate implant in January 1988. By decreasing the number of surgical procedures patients must endure, decreasing both the time in treatment and costs for the patient, implant therapy becomes the treatment of choice for patient care. Many therapists with minimal surgical training are now placing implants with differing results. It is important for all periodontists to be engaged and have an expertise in treating the more involved and difficult therapies. There will be a comprehensive discussion of immediate implant placement, immediate tooth replacement, and immediate loading along with video demonstrations. In addition, a newer concept of immediate placement in deficient sites will be introduced.


Educational Objectives:


• Determine how to decide whether to place implants immediately into an extraction site.


• Obtain knowledge on how to approach difficult implant placements.


• Resolve about the benefits and potential complications of immediate implant placement and how to avoid them.


FCE3: Papilla Management of Two Failing or Missing Adjacent Teeth in the Esthetic Zone: Science, Art, and Limitations


10:15–11:45 a.m. Program Track: Interdisciplinary Therapy Moderators: Ana Becil Giglio Speaker: Joseph Kan


Achieving inter-implant papilla esthetics is a challenging and demanding procedure. To create an implant papilla that emulates nature is a fusion of science and art. Understanding the biologic and physiologic limitations of soft and hard tissue will facilitate predictability in these complex situations.


This presentation will focus on current peri-implant soft tissue treatment philosophies and methodologies for multiple failing or missing teeth in the esthetic zone. Emphasis will be placed on diagnosis and treatment planning, surgical and prosthetic management, and grafting of soft and hard tissue. Long-term follow-up of up to 16 years will be discussed.


44 | American Academy of Periodontology 103rd Annual Meeting Educational Objectives:


• Achieve knowledge on prognostic variables for peri- implant esthetics.


• Learn about limitations of bone and soft tissue grafting on inter-implant papilla esthetics.


• Discuss the benefits and limitations of interdisciplinary treatment on peri-implant tissue esthetics.


• Differentiate between the myths and realities of surgical papilla reconstruction.


FCE4: Occlusion in the Implant Age: Back to Basics


10:15–11:45 a.m. Program Track: Treatment of Inflammatory Periodontal Disease Moderator: Michael J. McDevitt


Speakers: Leonard M. Garfinkel and Richard E. Levitt


Astute periodontists have long recognized how understanding of occlusion is vital to preventing trauma and furthering the goals of both periodontal treatment and implant success. The evidence in the research and in clinical practice, which have confirmed that occlusal trauma affecting an implant is one of the key factors in implant failure, is a compelling reason for every periodontist placing implants to refine our diagnostic skills. The highly-refined knowledge of both functional and excessive occlusal forces now places the periodontist as the surgical specialist best positioned to guide their restorative colleagues in planning the more complex cases, involving implants, teeth, or both in the final restoration(s). This course will further our understanding of occlusion so that we can treat our patients with confidence and predictability.


Educational Objectives:


• Recognize signs of trauma and identify how to address problems effectively, including when and how to employ an appliance.


• Distinguish differences in supporting structures between teeth and implants and recognize the effects occlusal loading, including traumatic loading, has upon those structures.


• Explain how the periodontist is uniquely positioned to guide restorative decisions for teeth and for implants and how collaboration with the restorative dentist guides implant positions relative to their anticipated role in a stable, functional restored dentition.
