SUMMARY:Implant Treatment Planning and Surgical Guides: From Single Tooth to Full Arch with Tim Hart\, DDS\, MS
DESCRIPTION:January 31\, 2025\nFriday\, 10:00am-2:00pm \nRegistration Fee: Complimentary\nLecture: 3CE credits \nAdvancements on several fronts have created a paradigm shift in the field of implant surgical guides. Cone beam CT\, additive manufacturing (3D Printing)\, and point cloud merging have combined to make CBCT derived surgical guides cost effective for not only fully guided cases\, but for pilot drill guides as well. Many practitioners are under the impression that CBCT derived guides represent a complicated process that involves scanning appliances and multiple CT scans. This program will discuss why this is no longer true\, and present the simplified workflow that is now possible in today’s general practice\, making it ideal to grow both surgical and restorative implant services. \nObjectives\n• Review the concepts of digital dentistry that make CBCT guided surgical guided surgery (and all other digital dentistry) possible\n• Discover the dramatic decline in the cost of this treatment from 1997 to 2024\n• Learn the difference between computer guided and computer assisted techniques\n• Understand the computer guided workflow\, especially what is needed to setup cases \nTim Hart\, DDS\, MS\nDr. Tim Hart graduated from Loyola University School of Dentistry in 1977\, and the Fixed Prosthodontic Residency program in 1980. He was awarded the American Academy of Crown and Bridge Prosthodontics’ Stanley Tylman Research Award in 1981 for 3D modeling of the human condylar displacement using transform matrices. From 1977 to 1997\, he practiced in Kenosha\, WI and Racine\, WI. From 1997 to 2017\, he practiced in Shorewood Wisconsin\, winning multiple awards for “Best Dentist” in both local monthly publications (Milwaukee Magazine and M Magazine). In 2007\, Dr. Hart and Dr. Phil Hawkins (oral surgeon) founded and for a decade co-directed the Third Coast Study Club\, an affiliate of the Seattle Study Club system. Since his retirement in 2017\, Dr. Hart has maintained a privately run business focusing on surgical guide design and production\, as well as medical models for surgical rehearsal. He also provides custom CNC wood fixtures to local remodeling contractors. His spare time activities include family (2 families\, 4 grandkids in town)\, cycling\, running\, and relearning to ski.

SUMMARY:Uppers from Mars/Lowers from Venus: Clarifying Overdentures with Hands-On Workshop - Clinical Pick Up & Impressions with M. Nader Sharifi\, DDS\, MS
DESCRIPTION:Thursday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM\nFriday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM \nTuition: $1495.\nCE Credits: 16 Credits \nCourse Descriptions and Objectives: \nPatients will often do anything they can to avoid wearing a complete denture including staying in a failing dentition when dentistry offers improvements. Overdentures help overcome the obstacle of the failing dentition. The use of residual abutments to stabilize and retain a denture as an overdenture is nothing new\, but often misunderstood. This course will address the option of overdentures with implants as the abutments. We will discuss how the number and location of abutments will influence the final design of the overdenture itself. \nOverdentures are different on implants than they are on teeth. We’ll discuss those differences and provide options to make them similar. Each participant will learn how many implants are necessary and where they should be placed. We’ll discuss many attachment options that are on the market. These attachments will be broken down into simple categories to understand their similarities. We’ll create clear guidelines for selecting one attachment over another. \nParticipants review state-of-the-art procedures for the highest quality overdentures while we complete the clinical procedures of the three most influential steps associated with denture fabrication. This includes initial and final impressions\, the development of the centric relation record as well as delivery of a denture with finalization of the occlusal scheme. \nAs an extension of the lecture portion of this course participants will complete two hands on exercises. We will make final impressions on the models with two different techniques to compare the results. We will also complete a pick-up of an attachment under a complete denture. The denture and model can be taken home as a demonstrator model for patient education. \nParticipants leave with increased confidence and a clear understanding of: \n\nHow the number of implants and location of abutments influences the outcome\nHow the anatomic limitations should direct the number and type of attachments\nAttachment options: is one better than another? Which ones–and when?\nRecord Collection: Using esthetics and phonetics to develop wax rims\nHow to overcome limitations with digital soft tissue scanning\nImpression Techniques: What to use while we wait on scanning soft tissue\nCentric Relation: The most critical step to denture success – made easier\nProsthesis Delivery: Nothing’s more important than occlusion\nIncludes hands-on workshops for attachment pick up and impression techniques\n\nM. Nader Sharifi\, D.D.S.\, M.S. holds a certificate in prosthodontics and a masters degree in biomaterials from Northwestern University. He received his dental education at the University of Illinois. He has presented more than 500 lectures covering numerous topics on restorative dentistry earning him recognition from esteemed study groups\, societies and associations across the nation and internationally. \nDr. Sharifi currently maintains a full-time private practice of prosthodontics in Chicago’s downtown loop and uses his experience as a five day a week wet gloved dentist to ensure time saving and cost effective care are represented in his presentations. In 2007\, the Chicago Dental Society honored him with the Gordon Christenson Distinguished Lecturer Award. He has also been honored with Fellowship in the American College of Dentists and Membership in the American Academy of Restorative Dentistry – both in 2010.

SUMMARY:Occlusion and TMD; Occlusal Splint Treatment with Jim McKee\, DDS
DESCRIPTION:March 16-17\, 2023\nFriday: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM\nSaturday: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM \nTuition: $1495.\nCE Credits: 16 Credits \nCourse Descriptions and Objectives:\nMost dentists would agree that occlusion and TMD are two of the more confusing disciplines in our profession. Much of this confusion relates how we define occlusion. Occlusion is defined as how the teeth fit together. As a result\, most of the occlusal discussion revolves around the front end of the system or how to get the teeth to fit together. Today\, we know that occlusion is not just about how the teeth fit together but how the lower jaw and upper jaw fit together. If we define occlusion as how lower jaw and upper jaw fit together\, then we are\nrequired not only to examine the front end of the system (the teeth) but also the back end of the system (the TM joints). \nGiven that we are seeing increasing levels of frequency and severity of structural changes in the TM joints at earlier ages than previously assumed\, it is vital to understand the anatomy in order to assess the potential for adaptation for structurally damaged TM joint. Evaluating the TM joints helps both the patient and the dentist understand if there additional risk factors regarding pain levels or bite changes. Understanding both the front end of the system (the teeth) and the backend of the system (the TM joints)\, we can offer our patients a new level of clinical predictability in as occlusal treatment\, orthodontic therapy\, restorative dentistry\, implant dentistry\, airway dentistry and orthognathic surgery. The concepts discussed will be applicable to every patient in your practice. This program will address these concepts through a combination of lecture and case studies. \nLearning objectives: \n1. Gain confidence in diagnosing the condition of the TM joints and how this information directly impacts treatment planning \n2. Learn when to image\, how to image and what can be learned from imaging the TM joint \n3. Discover why Class II occlusions in young females pose a special and significant risk for orthodontic treatment \n4. Understand when to consider occlusal appliance therapy\, when to consider equilibration\, when to consider both and when to consider neither \n5. Learn treatment planning protocols that can be used for any patient \n6. Understand the managerial principles necessary to implement occlusal concepts in an everyday practice

SUMMARY:Esthetic Foundations 1 – Restoring Anterior Teeth (hands-on)
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\nThis Dawson Academy continuing education esthetics course is a hands-on program that will assist the cosmetic dentist in taking those critical steps in accomplishing anterior restorative procedures at their highest level. Restoring anterior teeth and managing dental esthetics with predictability\, truly represents the culmination of our understanding of how this intricate system is designed as we attempt to emulate what nature has originally created. Through the use of lecture\, clinical videos\, and hands-on exercises the restorative dentist will develop the confidence in diagnosis\, material selection\, preparation design and the creation of key indices to insure predictability in delivering exquisite anterior restorations. \nThe clinician will have the opportunity to transition the knowledge gained in the “2D” treatment planning mode into a “3D” dental blue print through the use of mounted diagnostic models and the minimal wax technique. The modulation and understanding of Smile Design in an advanced level of dental treatment planning affords the ability to begin with the end in mind\, creating an esthetic result that reflects a functionally sound design and insures durability. \nThe critical information obtained in creating this dental blue print will allow for the fabrication of reduction guides and provisional matrixes to increase your efficiency\, productivity and accuracy chairside. We also provide some key concepts in the single most important step in insuring predictability in indirect restoration\, creating exquisite prototypes. Special emphasis will be placed on contouring the provisional restoration\, and why this is key to long-term functional and esthetic success in every case you perform. Finally\, we will discuss with you in detail the cementation and adhesive options so that the proper course of action is matched with each material. \nThe prime focus of this program is to provide the essential skills and protocols to enhance the clinicians’ ability to create beautiful anterior restorations. (Limited to 20 dentists) \nLearning Objectives \n\nUnderstand the key concepts of Smile Design relative to Global\, Macro and Micro criteria and their assessment related to function and phonetics\nDevelop the skill in creating a “Dental Blue” that will enable the production of key indices and stents that will facilitate preparation and provisonalization\nUnderstand the fluid concepts of preparation design as it relates to functional needs\, esthetics and the parameters of new materials.\nLearn an effective and efficient Provisionalization technique\nUnderstand the key elements related to the assessment of the prototypes to insure predictability in the final restorations\nLearn the key elements in laboratory communication to insure a predictable result\nUnderstanding the concepts of adhesion and the clinical protocol in the luting of final restorations

SUMMARY:Full Arch Dentistry: When & How to Alter the Vertical Dimension of Occlusion (hands-on)
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\nOne of the most important skills a restorative dentist can acquire is to know how and why to change the vertical dimension of occlusion and when it is appropriate to do it. Cases involving extreme wear\, occlusal plane problems as well as alterations to the steepness of the anterior guidance are all cases we at The Dawson Academy show\, and discuss. Yet the specific details of how to work through a case when all the teeth are prepared can be daunting. \nThis two day\, hands-on on class will take each participant through a step-by-step protocol that will go from preparations to delivery. Special emphasis will be placed on fabricating exquisite provisional prototypes and how they are utilized to communicate precise esthetic and occlusal goals to the dental lab. Bite registrations techniques will be understood\, so that the lab will be able to cross mount the die model with the provisional model. Additionally\, techniques to provisionally alter the vertical using composite resin and other modalities will be understood so that patients with financial obstacles can be treated appropriately with properly segmented treatment plans. Every participant is invited to bring a complex case to treatment plan\, and phase. \nLearning Objectives \n\nWhy occlusal wear and erosion need to be addressed\, and why the progression of tooth structure loss leads to more complex problems.\nTo learn when it is appropriate to open the vertical dimension of occlusion\, and when it should be approached with great caution.\nHow to utilize the Dawson Diagnostic Wizard to communicate precise esthetic and functional tooth contours to the dental laboratory\, for the fabrication of an optimal diagnostic wax up.\nHow to transfer the diagnostic wax up into the mouth while creating provisional restorations\, and how to efficiently dial these restorations in for optimum esthetics phonetics and function.\nHow to take “verticentric” bite registrations to precisely cross mount the die model with the temp models.\nDigital technologies that that the lab can utilize to duplicate the doctor and patient approved provisional contours-the key to predictable results.\nHow to open the vertical dimension with multiple “long term provisional” techniques so that complex treatment plans can be phased.\nTo recognize when changing the tooth position with Invisalign or traditional orthodontic treatment\, prior to the restorative phase\, will improve the predictability of the end result.\nWhy many worn dentition cases will require esthetic crown lengthening\, and how to know if gingivectomy or boney recontouring will be the appropriate modality. Special emphasis will be placed on treatment planning the precise position of the gingival contours as well the utilization of laser technology when performing these procedures.

Every participant is invited to bring a complex case to treatment plan\, and phase. \nLearning Objectives \n\nWhy occlusal wear and erosion need to be addressed\, and why the progression of tooth structure loss leads to more complex problems.\nTo learn when it is appropriate to open the vertical dimension of occlusion\, and when it should be approached with great caution.\nHow to utilize the Dawson Diagnostic Wizard to communicate precise esthetic and functional tooth contours to the dental laboratory\, for the fabrication of an optimal diagnostic wax up.\nHow to transfer the diagnostic wax up into the mouth while creating provisional restorations\, and how to efficiently dial these restorations in for optimum esthetics phonetics and function.\nHow to take “verticentric” bite registrations to precisely cross mount the die model with the temp models.\nDigital technologies that that the lab can utilize to duplicate the doctor and patient approved provisional contours-the key to predictable results.\nHow to open the vertical dimension with multiple “long term provisional” techniques so that complex treatment plans can be phased.\nTo recognize when changing the tooth position with Invisalign or traditional orthodontic treatment\, prior to the restorative phase\, will improve the predictability of the end result.\nWhy many worn dentition cases will require esthetic crown lengthening\, and how to know if gingivectomy or boney recontouring will be the appropriate modality. Special emphasis will be placed on treatment planning the precise position of the gingival contours as well the utilization of laser technology when performing these procedures.

SUMMARY:Full Arch Implant Solutions for the Edentulous Patient (hands-on)
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\nDespite the tremendous advances in implant dentistry\, we still see too many prostheses that are uncleansable\, not functionally stable\, or esthetically displeasing because implants weren’t placed in the proper position. Determining where the teeth need to be from a functional\, phonetic and esthetic standpoint PRIOR to implant placement is the key to long-term success. \nGuided Dental Implant SurgeryIn this class you will be working through thru two cases start-to-finish. Printed mandibles and maxillas of the actual patient and all of the diagnostic data will be provided. You will go through the process of treatment planning the case 3-dimensionally\, relating the desired tooth position to the CBCT. You will also: \n• Determine the virtual placement of the implants\n• Design the guides and milled provisional\n• Place the implants into the printed models (simulating guided surgery)\n• Place the multilevel abutments and immediately load the provisional\n• Each step of the process will be illustrated by recordings of the surgery and prosthodontic procedures at each stage. \nYou will see how easy it is to develop bone reduction guides\, surgical guides for guided implant surgery\, and even guides to facilitate the proper position of the immediate load provisionals. \nYou will not need to be a software expert or spend thousands of dollars on hardware. You simply need to do what we have trained you to do and have access to a CBCT scan for the patient. We will show you the rest. \nSpecial emphasis will be placed on communication between the restorative dentist\, the lab\, and the implant surgeon. \nWhether you are new to full arch dentistry on implants or you have done a number of cases\, the information learned in this course will allow you to do some of the most rewarding cases in all of dentistry at the highest level. \nLearning Objectives\nRecognize when the immediate load “all on four protocol” is a viable treatment option and when it is not\nPractice using state of the art planning services that guide you through the planning of implant placement\, the design of all the surgical guides to insure precise implant placement\, and the fabrication of custom milled provisional restorations\nDetermine when to consider a traditional implant supported full arch bridge design in order to preserve the patient’s bone vs. the more contemporary All-On-Four protocol\nEvaluate the existing dentition/dentures for proper tooth position to know if they can be used or to determine precisely what will need to be changed\nReview the fundamentals of speech and mandibular movement in skeletal class 1\,2\,3 patients\, and how this pertains to the determination of precise tooth position\nDefine occlusal design principles for specific implant prostheses\nDistinguish the best choice of restorative materials for specific implant prostheses\nDiscover how to sequence treatment and determine fees for even the most complicated full arch implant cases
