Join us on June 23rd, 2026 Description: This lecture will explore advanced approaches for alveolar bone reconstruction and site development in preparation for future implant rehabilitation. Aside the classic GBR, and the complex ridge reconstructions with flaps, there are various procedures that can enhance implant site development and complex alveolar defects improving the predictability of implant placement in compromised sites. Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1) Recognize clinical situations in which conventional GBR may be insufficient for predictable alveolar reconstruction. 2) Compare indications, advantages, limitations, and surgical considerations of adjunctive bone reconstruction techniques, including reinforced membranes, block grafts, tenting approaches, and split-crest procedures. 3) Apply evidence-based decision-making principles to select appropriate reconstructive strategies for implant site development and complex alveolar defects.

Join us on August 18th, 2026 Description: The bone lid technique involves the creation of a bony window that is temporarily removed to access the surgical site and then accurately repositioned at the end of the procedure. Its primary aims are to provide optimal visualization of the operative field, preserve bone that would otherwise be sacrificed with more invasive approaches, and promote favorable healing conditions. In implant dentistry, this technique is particularly indicated for the retrieval of displaced implants within the maxillary sinus and for bone preservation during the removal of impacted teeth or pathological lesions, where maintaining native bone architecture is essential. The technique has evolved with the introduction of piezoelectric surgery, which enables highly controlled and precise osteotomies while minimizing trauma to adjacent soft tissues. More recently, the integration of computer-guided planning has further refined the approach by enabling the design of accurate and reproducible cutting trajectories. Collectively, these advancements have improved surgical predictability and facilitated the precise repositioning of the bony window. Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1) Discuss the history of piezosurgery in dentistry. 2) Explain the evolution of the bone lid technique. 3) Describe the role of computer-guided osteotomy in the bone lid technique. Giulia Brunello, DDS, PhD Dr. Giulia Brunello graduated in dentistry in 2011 from the University of Padova (Italy), where she also completed a 2-year Master in Implant Dentistry and obtained in 2020 her PhD at the PhD School in Mechatronics and Product Innovation Engineering.

Recorded on May 7th, 2026 Description: Most dental professionals understand that most of their patients possess a "dual bite". However, dental schools today teach the students to treat their patients to the "habitual bite". As an orthodontist, I have always wanted to treat orthodontic or TMD patients to one balanced and stable bite. To do so, I needed to learn as much as I could about how a proper bite functions as well as what causes bites to break down. This presentation should help dentists and dental specialists understand one of the most detrimental structural causes for breakdown in our patients -- the fulcrum effect. Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1) Identify which condylar positions are created by the fulcrum effect. 2) Explain how a CBCT scan taken in maximum intercuspation can become a "functional radiograph". 3) Discuss the hidden vertical and anterior-posterior discrepancies in a large percentage of our patients. Robert Kaspers, DDS, MS Dr. Bob Kaspers graduated from Northwestern University in 1977, receiving a BS in Biology. He received his DDS at the University of Michigan Dental School in 1981. He received his orthodontic training at Northwestern University Orthodontic program in 1983. As an adjunct professor at the University of Detroit-Mercy orthodontic program, he worked with residents on research projects pertaining to condylar position.

Recorded on May 14th, 2026 Description: This presentation examines the integration of facial scanning into digital workflows in implant dentistry, with a focus on improving prosthetic accuracy in complete arch rehabilitations. Emphasis will be placed on the use of stable extraoral reference points—particularly the nasal region—to enhance alignment and superimposition of digital datasets, as well as the role of facial scanning in esthetic treatment planning. Clinical protocols will demonstrate how combining intraoral and facial scan data, using the nasal region as a reference landmark, can improve workflow precision and efficiency. Attendees will gain practical insight into achieving more predictable alignment and consistent outcomes in implant prosthodontics. Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1) Identify key components of digital workflows that impact prosthetic accuracy in implant dentistry. 2) Explain the role of facial scanning, particularly the nasal region, as a stable reference for dataset alignment. 3) Evaluate techniques for integrating intraoral and facial scan data to achieve accurate digital superimposition. 4) Describe clinical strategies to improve accuracy, efficiency, and predictability in complete arch implant restorations using facially guided workflows.

Recorded on April 8th, 2026 Description: Managing alveolar bone defects remains a complex therapeutic challenge. Bone graft surgery often has high rates of reintervention, leading to increased healthcare costs. Despite progress in technical and clinical aspects over recent years, various factors such as the patient's age, comorbidities, systemic illnesses, defect location, and the surgeon's experience can affect clinical outcomes. Over the past 20 years, there has been a major advance in three-dimensional (3D) printing. This innovative technology allows for creating final parts directly from 3D model data through a layer-by-layer process. It has significantly impacted bone defect treatment by enabling the production of custom therapies with highly porous, 3D-printed implants specifically designed for each patient's needs. The main goal of this conference is to showcase significant progress in developing bone scaffolds through additive manufacturing methods. These scaffolds are essential in offering environmentally sustainable solutions for various medical and dental applications. Specifically, the treatment of alveolar ridge deficiency with 3 to 4 years of follow-up will be presented and discussed based on the current knowledge and limitations of bone graft reconstructions. Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1) Identify explicit methods of treatment planning and coordination between team members. 2) Select and design prostheses for complex treatment scenarios. 3) Discuss tangible methods of communication and involvement with the dental laboratory.
