Biosafety in Dental Practice: General Principles

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

Biosafety can be defined, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, as the containment principles, technologies, and practices that are implemented to prevent unintentional exposure to biological agents and toxins or their accidental release. In simple terms, it may be described as protective measures that should be taken for any dental procedure to control the spread of microbial infections. Most countries and jurisdictions have strict regulations and comprehensive guidelines for biosafety in dental practice. This module provides an overview of the principles of biosafety and their importance. For detailed information on mandatory biosafety measures, it is necessary to refer to

Legal and Ethical Considerations in Implant Practice

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

Wherever you may practice implant dentistry, there will be laws and regulations that govern dental practice.Each jurisdiction will have its own specific regulations, but the common aims will be to protect the safety of patients and to set standards of care to ensure high-quality outcomes.Communities will also have expectations about how professionals like dentists should practice.These expectations are often embodied in ethical codes developed by professional groups.The codes detail the attitudes and responsibilities that dental practitioners owe to their profession, to their colleagues, and to the community at large.This module will provide an overview of the likely legal and ethical considerations you should be aware of and familiar with in the environment in which you practice. It is a general legal principle that ignorance of the law is not a defense.

Site-Specific Clinical Examination

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

A thorough history and clinical examination are essential when planning to replace teeth with dental implants.Prior to surgery, both clinical and radiographic site-specific assessments must be carefully conducted. These assessments will provide the information required to formulate a detailed and individually tailored treatment plan that is likely to meet the realistic expectations of the patient.Therefore, a comprehensive examination is mandatory to anticipate any complications that may result from the treatment. In this module, we will discuss the recommended site-specific examinations and their relevance to patients who may be considering replacement of a tooth or teeth with dental implants.The site-specific assessments that will be discussed in this module are the restorative space and its characteristics, anatomical factors, and hard and soft tissue including any pathoses in the area.

Pre-and postoperative Care and Medication for Implant Surgery

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

Like many other treatments, implant treatment is a complex therapy.Many participants may be involved including the dentist, surgeon, prosthodontist, dental nurses and, of course, the patient. It is not enough that the team should be very skilled in performing the treatment, but patients, too, must take responsibility for their part in the treatment.This module will describe how the dental team prepares patients to participate in implant surgery and instructs them on how to behave before and after the surgery to avoid complications and negative side effects.This includes preoperative information including instructions for oral hygiene procedures and medication as well as postoperative care and the postoperative medication regime.

Tissue Integration of Dental Implants

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

This module focuses on the concept of dental implant integration into the soft and hard tissues in the oral cavity.Integration into bone is called osseointegration and this phenomenon essentially revolutionized how missing teeth can be replaced.Osseointegration has implications for all dentists as well as for patients with any missing teeth. Implants are anchored in bone tissue and penetrate the soft tissue.It is essential to understand the soft and hard tissues around dental implant restorations since only this allows for optimal restorations.

Occlusion on Fixed Implant Prostheses

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

Implants and their prostheses replace teeth.They therefore have to participate fully in oral function. A substantial part of oral function is related to occlusion when the teeth and their replacements make contact.This module will examine the ability of implants and their prostheses to withstand occlusal forces and offer guidelines for occlusal design.

Conventional Implant Impressions for Fixed Dental Prostheses

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

Implant impressions are important for the fabrication of dental prostheses. The aim of implant impressions is accurate transfer of the intra-oral implant situation to the dental laboratory. It is possible to record the implant situation with conventional analog impression techniques, or using digital technologies.All implant impression techniques employ a variation of the pick-up or transfer impression technique sometimes used in conventional, tooth-borne prosthodontics.In the case of implant impressions, a precision-made impression component is used to register the position, alignment, and rotational orientation of the implant.The impression, whether it follows a conventional (that is, analog) or digital workflow, then records this information in relation to the surrounding hard and soft tissues. This module will deal with conventional impression techniques and all of the parameters involved.

Protocol for Fixed Implant Supported Prostheses Delivery

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

When implants have been placed and are restored with the final prostheses, certain principles have to be followed to achieve a good fit and long-term success of the prosthesis.The general principles for delivering an implant-supported prosthesis are very similar to those for delivering a tooth-supported prosthesis.However, the complexity is higher when using implant-supported prostheses since they can have multiple components that fit together very precisely along limited paths of insertion.In addition, these prostheses need to be delivered onto rigidly fixed implants. All these factors make this a much more exacting procedure.It is therefore important to have a protocol to ensure the correct steps are followed so as to minimize the risk of complications and to be able to verify that the procedure has been carried out correctly.It is also important to be able to provide base line information about the prosthesis against which you can compare the condition of prosthesis over time.

Managing Biological Complications

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

Implant treatment is highly successful, as documented in a wealth of scientific literature. However, clinicians should expect to see complications within their daily practice.Complications that are associated with the surrounding peri-implant mucosa or bone are referred to as biological complications. They occur when there is an imbalance between the bacterial biofilm challenge to the tissues around an implant and the host defense, resulting in an inflammatory process.The biological complications addressed in this module are the peri-implant diseases referred to as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, both of which may occur around osseointegrated implants.Therefore, it is important that the clinician is able to diagnose peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis and understand the steps for management of these complications.

Monitoring Peri-Implant Tissue Health

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

Implant-supported tooth replacement offers a tremendous benefit to patients.In order to assure the long-term success of implant therapy, it is important to understand the complex biologic environment that is present around implants.Implants are biomedical devices that exist under functional demands within an environment shaped by the biologic interactions between the microbial biofilm and the immune response.Maintenance of peri-implant tissue health is therefore critical to the long-term survival, success and benefit of implant therapy for the patient.

Descripción

Evaluation of edentulous space for implant placement needs to be precise. Positioning restorative components into an edentulous space must be carefully considered when treatment planning and making surgical guides. Having too little or too much space can create problems for the restorative doctor, the interdisciplinary team and the patient. In this course, Dr Darin Dichter provides a straightforward overview of EFSB concepts and details the challenges of having too much and too little inter-arch, interproximal and oro-facial space for an implant. The more accurate a preliminary restorative plan can be for the surgical team and the technician, the better the outcome will be.

In this Team Meeting, Dr. Dichter addresses a question frequently asked by patients: When can I have my tooth? While it is desirable to keep treatment times as short as possible, it is important to approach dental implant placement in a way that allows for the most predictable successful outcomes. Dr. Dichter reviews the biologic factors that contribute to successful implant osseointegration, and why it is critical for the dental team to understand this and be able to convey it to patients who are anxious to expedite their dental implant treatment.

Legal and Ethical Considerations in Implant Practice

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

Wherever you may practice implant dentistry, there will be laws and regulations that govern dental practice.Each jurisdiction will have its own specific regulations, but the common aims will be to protect the safety of patients and to set standards of care to ensure high-quality outcomes.Communities will also have expectations about how professionals like dentists should practice.These expectations are often embodied in ethical codes developed by professional groups.The codes detail the attitudes and responsibilities that dental practitioners owe to their profession, to their colleagues, and to the community at large.This module will provide an overview of the likely legal and ethical considerations you should be aware of and familiar with in the environment in which you practice. It is a general legal principle that ignorance of the law is not a defense.

Conventional Implant Impressions for Fixed Dental Prostheses

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

Implant impressions are important for the fabrication of dental prostheses. The aim of implant impressions is accurate transfer of the intra-oral implant situation to the dental laboratory. It is possible to record the implant situation with conventional analog impression techniques, or using digital technologies.All implant impression techniques employ a variation of the pick-up or transfer impression technique sometimes used in conventional, tooth-borne prosthodontics.In the case of implant impressions, a precision-made impression component is used to register the position, alignment, and rotational orientation of the implant.The impression, whether it follows a conventional (that is, analog) or digital workflow, then records this information in relation to the surrounding hard and soft tissues. This module will deal with conventional impression techniques and all of the parameters involved.

Protocol for Fixed Implant Supported Prostheses Delivery

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

When implants have been placed and are restored with the final prostheses, certain principles have to be followed to achieve a good fit and long-term success of the prosthesis.The general principles for delivering an implant-supported prosthesis are very similar to those for delivering a tooth-supported prosthesis.However, the complexity is higher when using implant-supported prostheses since they can have multiple components that fit together very precisely along limited paths of insertion.In addition, these prostheses need to be delivered onto rigidly fixed implants. All these factors make this a much more exacting procedure.It is therefore important to have a protocol to ensure the correct steps are followed so as to minimize the risk of complications and to be able to verify that the procedure has been carried out correctly.It is also important to be able to provide base line information about the prosthesis against which you can compare the condition of prosthesis over time.

Managing Biological Complications

Material de formación: Lti

Descripción

Implant treatment is highly successful, as documented in a wealth of scientific literature. However, clinicians should expect to see complications within their daily practice.Complications that are associated with the surrounding peri-implant mucosa or bone are referred to as biological complications. They occur when there is an imbalance between the bacterial biofilm challenge to the tissues around an implant and the host defense, resulting in an inflammatory process.The biological complications addressed in this module are the peri-implant diseases referred to as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, both of which may occur around osseointegrated implants.Therefore, it is important that the clinician is able to diagnose peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis and understand the steps for management of these complications.

Prosthetically Driven Treatment Planning for Implants: lesson 1

Material de formación: Video

Descripción

Evaluation of edentulous space for implant placement needs to be precise. Positioning restorative components into an edentulous space must be carefully considered when treatment planning and making surgical guides. Having too little or too much space can create problems for the restorative doctor, the interdisciplinary team and the patient. In this course, Dr Darin Dichter provides a straightforward overview of EFSB concepts and details the challenges of having too much and too little inter-arch, interproximal and oro-facial space for an implant. The more accurate a preliminary restorative plan can be for the surgical team and the technician, the better the outcome will be.
