Soft tissue grafting is part of restorative and implant dentistry. You restore the gum tissue that's receded and you restore the tooth that's damaged. It's part of restorative and implant dentistry and you can't do one without a knowledge of the other. Even if you don't do the treatment you need to understand it so you can refer it out.

Soft tissue grafting is part of restorative and implant dentistry. You restore the gum tissue that's receded and you restore the tooth that's damaged. It's part of restorative and implant dentistry and you can't do one without a knowledge of the other. Even if you don't do the treatment you need to understand it so you can refer it out. It's very difficult to do crowns when the soft tissue is flimsy when there is no attached tissue. ​It opens your practice up so much to a new field of treatment that you can give your patients great benefits and great for your practice to build extra procedures, extra busyness without having to attract new people. Soft Tissue Grafting makes your restorative cases look more beautiful and it makes them easier. Soft Tissue Grafting gives you the confidence knowing that your implant surgeries are going to give you more predictable outcomes, knowing the foundation is acceptable increasing the success and understanding the failures.​ This recording is taken from our full 2-Day lecture on Soft Tissue Grafting. In this sixty minute introductory lecture Dr Lincoln Harris and Dr Florin Bobia will discuss: Submerging healing abutments Failed implants – re treatment options Dealing with no buccal bone Mixed grafts Difficult cases, review Split thickness flaps Pedicle flaps Full thickness flap Crown lengthening Different blade angles for different tissue Bio-Types Blades and handles Think about suture knot placement Vertical mattress sutures Further event information

As a general dentist, the great challenge of treatment planning is the sheer variation in patient presentation. Discover how to engage with the patient to find those that just want simple pain relief, those that want basic care, and those that want perfection. How to sort through the patients presenting with tooth ache requesting an extraction, versus those who are willing to spend on root canal therapy…

As a general dentist, the great challenge of treatment planning is the sheer variation in patient presentation. Discover how to engage with the patient to find those that just want simple pain relief, those that want basic care, and those that want perfection. How to sort through the patients presenting with tooth ache requesting an extraction, versus those who are willing to spend on root canal therapy and a crown. How to make sure we don’t miss those that present with toothache, but would be keen to have the loss of vertical dimension restored with 14 crowns and some orthodontics. Further event information

Occlusion. It can be one of the driest & most confusing of subjects. It is however one of the most, if not THE most critical aspect of diagnosis and treatment planning when it comes to the longevity of the restorative dentistry that we provide for our patients.

Occlusion. It can be one of the driest & most confusing of subjects. It is however one of the most, if not THE most critical aspect of diagnosis and treatment planning when it comes to the longevity of the restorative dentistry that we provide for our patients. THIS program has been described as THE program that NEEDS to be in between the slides of every OTHER program on treatment planning. NO glossing over the details. You won't just hear that something needs to be done. You will understand why and how it needs to be applied to help make your restorations last-or understand why they failed. During this two day lecture, Dr Michael Melkers will guide an exploration and discussion of where we have been as a profession, where we are in our understanding and what mysteries still need to be solved. Dr Melkers also covers: Understanding the basic components and rationale for occlusal design, from one tooth to full mouth application Joint position... when is it important and when does it not really matter Occlusion you can use... that doesn't need to confuse you Why are your restorations breaking and what can you do about it Bite splints, occlusal guards... what, why and how Taking the mysteries out of facebows and articulators Occlusal design in case planning and application Custom incisal guide table Moving the information to your technician & keeping the details straight Cases, cases... and more cases so you can see actual application The program will be a journey in and out of the confusion that we have believed and applied as a profession - what worked, what didn't and why. The fundamentals and theory of occlusion will be discussed but also supported with real world applications and case examples. If you are a one tooth dentist looking to be a two tooth dentist... if you are a few teeth dentist and want to be a quadrant dentist... if you are a quadrant, arch or already doing full mouth rehabilitations - our goal is to help make you a better dentist tomorrow.

Dear colleagues, We would like to introduce you to 'Dr. Kim's Mexico Live Surgery Course' in Tijuana Mexico in 2020. The date we recommend is the 22nd to 25th of May for New Zealand and Australian participants with 21st being the preclinical hands-on day. However, if you would like to register for the other dates please let us know. The course will allow you to exercise both the surgical placement of the implants and the wisdom teeth extractions from beginner to advanced level (note: there is no separate course for ONLY wisdom teeth extraction at this point). The clinician to student ratio will be 1:1 with various tutor eg. OMFS, Periodontist, Prosthodontist, or GP PLUS Dr. Kim Young Sam will be floating around every surgery to help you plan and implement the surgery on the patient. The implant system that is utilized in Mexico will be Osstem implants. Most of the implant procedures will be focused on immediate implant placements post-extractions. Participants will have an opportunity to place mini- or narrow implants and exercise sinus lifting. The number of wisdom teeth extracted and implants placed depends on the skill level of the participants. We purposely left two extra chairs for the benefit of the participants to treat at their own pace. The course will include accommodation, local transport, and food (excludes flights). Mexico can be as fun as you want it to be! Eat as much as you can. Drink (eg. tequila or coca cola) responsibly and at your own risk! Most of all, learn as much as you can! Our aim is to learn, share, and grow together! P.S. have a look at this video clip made by our participant during the 5th live surgery course in Mexico (English speaking Korean participants at the time): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jVLc8WlLQI If you would like to participate in a live surgery course, please contact us via the email: [email protected] Please specify: 1.
