Do Small Diameter Implants Have a Place in the Fixed Restoration World?
Do Small Diameter Implants Have a Place in the Fixed Restoration World?
Since their introduction in dentistry in 1999, small diameter implants have proven their efficiency in the stabilization of full removable prosthesis. Even though their first use was for stabilization of full dentures, the use of small diameter implants rapidly spread to stabilization of partial removable prosthesis, in the upper or lower jaw, bilateral or unilateral, with free saddles or not. Due to several reasons, some practitioners started to look at the option of using small diameter implants for fixed cases. Sometimes the lack of bone bucco lingually or space mesio distally may be the reason, or sometimes it is the refusal for bone grafting and often it is a pure financial reason that will bring the dentist to choose the small diameter for fixed cases. How can small diameter implants be used for fixed restorations? What is the protocol to use them for fixed restorations? Can they be only single or are multiple fixed cases also viable? What is the long-term success rate for small diameter implants for fixed restorations? Are there products on the market that are more suitable to achieve success with fixed restorations? What about the small diameter 3.0 mm one piece implant?
All these questions and more will be answered in this seminar so every participant will know if small diameter implants can be used efficiently for cases of fixed restoration.
Dr. Bruno Lemay was introduced to the small diameter implants at UCLA. In 2000, he started practicing in Palm Springs, California where he perfected his technique with small diameter implants and developed his own protocol to finally reach incredible success. In 2009, he started the Canadian Mini-Implant Institute specializing in the teaching of the mini-implant technique all around Canada. Since then he has been giving hundreds of weekend comprehensive training and has written several articles in denturist and dental journals.

New Opportunities for Enhancement in the Esthetic Zone
New Opportunities for Enhancement in the Esthetic Zone
The esthetic implant rehabilitation of patients with esthetically and functionally compromised dentition frequently involves a multidisciplinary approach. The achieving of esthetic objectives in multidisciplinary cases represents a considerable clinical challenge. During recent years , treatment modalities and options have changed. From a surgical point of view, less invasive procedures are used in order to preserve soft tissue anatomy and minimize recession. Also the design of implants and prosthetic components has changed in order to minimize bone resorption and soft tissue alterations. This lecture will focus on a new surgical and prosthetic approach in difficult esthetic implant rehabilitations.
Dr. Eric Van Dooren opened a private practice in Antwerp, Belgium, after graduation, which is limited to periodontics, fixed prosthodontics, and implants. Currently, Dr. Van Dooren is a Visiting Professor at the University of Liege (Belgium) and an active member of the European Academy of Esthetic Dentistry. In addition, he is a member of the editorial staff of Teamwork (Germany) / PPAD (US) and a member of the Belgian Dental Society. Dr. Van Dooren lectures nationally and internationally , mainly on aesthetics, implants and aesthetic periodontal surgery.

MTM® Clear• Aligner In-Office is a DENTSPLY proprietary system designed by an orthodontist to address increased demand for esthetic treatment of minor anterior misalignments. It provides a lower cost solution to the patient, and keeps practice profitability high. On completing this course, you can immediately apply the techniques learned to accomplish the following in your office:
Participants will learn how Straumann CARES Digital Solutions provide dental professionals with a new, fully integrated digital workflow, including:
- Treat minor anterior crowding and spacing
- Treat minor orthodontic relapse
- Refine/finish invisible aligner cases
- Prepare for implant, crown & bridge, and restorative procedures
Clinicians and staff will learn to plan each case, create space in the arch for tooth movement, and fabricate the aligner(s) needed to achieve case goals. The course also includes an overview of basic thermoforming techniques that can also be used to make retainers, bleach trays and many more profit-building appliances that are often outsourced to labs.
Dr. Neil Warshawsky DDS, MS, PC is a graduate of the University of Illinois. He started his practice in 1992 and currently owns and operates four offices in the Chicago area. He served as craniofacial orthodontist for the University of Chicago. He focuses on esthetic solutions for multidisciplinary dental cases, and is currently one of the largest users of ibraces, custom made lingual braces, in North and South America. He speaks professionally on lingual orthodontics, removable appliance therapy and dental technology specifically related to orthodontics.
