17 November 2008

12:00 to 13:00	Registration, Buffet lunch and Trade Exhibition
13:00 to 13:30	Annual General Meeting
13:30 to 15:30	Masterclass Content Clinicians today have access to an astounding array of new technology, tools and materials to utilize in their increasingly aesthetically oriented practices. However, none of them can ensure success if the treatment design is inadequate. This presentation puts an emphasis on recognizing obstacles to successful aesthetic outcomes as well as on identifying and developing appropriate solutions to overcoming them. A clear blueprint to designing beautiful smiles will be outlined which will incorporate new surgical, restorative and orthodontic aesthetic techniques aimed at overcoming aesthetic challenges and predictably achieving successful results in any environment. If implant therapy is to be incorporated in an anterior aesthetic treatment plan, the proposed implant supported restoration must cosmetically equal or surpass that of conventional restorative dentistry. In single tooth replacement, aesthetics 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 aesthetic concepts with evidence based biological principles into treatment designs that optimize aesthetic results. In addition this presentation will also outline the biological, clinical and biomechanical factors that may allow clinicians to simplify implant protocols and, when possible, to reduce or completely eliminate the waiting period to implant loading without sacrificing predictably successful osseointegration. Learning Objectives Choosing the optimal treatment strategy Soft tissue management in the prosthetic phase Efficient ways to temporize implant restorations Immediate loading: design and execution Flapless implant therapy: advantages and contraindications Dr Henry Salama
