About this Event
Lecture one: Changing objectives in periodontal prosthetic rehabilitations
Speaker: Dr Kenneth A. Malament D.D.S., M.Sc.D.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. To understand what factors and concerns a prosthodontist would have treating patients that require “esthetic procedures”.
2. To understand the controversies that exist with modern dental materials.
3. To understand what clinical factors impact on long-term survival of dental ceramic materials. The e max lithium disilicate ceramic restoration has proved with over 3200 restorations and 12 years to be the most successful ceramic ever studied.
4. To understand the restoration of dental implants in complex conditions.
Lecture Two: A story of a tooth: from a restoration to an implant. Which one is complication-free?Speaker: Dr Mariam Margvelashvili-Malament DMD, MSc, PhD, FACP
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. To compare the incidence of endodontic therapy after receiving either complete or partial coverage glass ceramic restorations.
2. Evaluate the clinical variables influencing the incidence of endodontic therapy in prosthodontic treatment.
3. Review the possible complications associated with implant-retained restorations.
4. Provide advice on how to minimize implant-related complications.
CHANGING OBJECTIVES IN PERIODONTAL PROSTHETIC REHABILITATIONSDentistry that is esthetic, comfortable and survives long term and minimizes health risks to the patient is an important clinical objective. The knowledge within dental science, practice and technology has dramatically expanded leading to better quality; artistry and more standards based clinical applications. Ceramics are the most consistently predictable esthetic dental material. Today dentists can offer more treatment options for patient’s complex problems. With advances in digital design, CAD CAM, dental implants and new generations of dental ceramics, one can ask if the basic tenants in education and treatment being overridden. If specialty care is ignored where will the referral patterns be in the future? What needs to be best taught and mastered by students today?Understanding methods to manage simple and complex restorative issues are critical to improving patient acceptance and even long term ceramic success. Methods to integrate the efforts of laboratory technologists and managing occlusion and patient’s desires can have a profound impact in the practice of dentistry.The lithium disilicate e. max and zirconia mono-layered all-ceramic material is changing dentistry and the realization of long-term ceramic survival. Complex dentistry is being resolved principally with single unit restorations in face of the successful history in treating the complex patient with splinted metal ceramic restorations.
Kenneth A. Malament D.D.S., M.Sc.D.Dr. Malament received his D.D.S. from N.Y.U. College of Dentistry and a specialty certificate and Master’s degree from Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry. Dr. Malament has a full time practice limited to prosthodontics in Boston that includes a dental laboratory with master dental technologists. A Past-President of the American Board of Prosthodontics, he is a Clinical Professor at Tufts University and a Course Director in the postgraduate department of Prosthodontics. Dr. Malament is a Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists, Academy of Prosthodontics, Greater New York Academy of Prosthodontics, and Northeastern Gnathological Society and a Past President of the Greater New York Academy of Prosthodontics, Northeastern Gnathological Society and the American Academy of Dental Science. He has served as the Secretary and Director of the American College of Prosthodontists and Secretary-Treasurer of the International College of Prosthodontists. He presently serves as President of the Academy of Prosthodontics and Treasurer of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry. Dr. Malament has been the recipient of significant awards in Prosthodontics including the American College of Prosthodontists’ Clinician / Researcher Award, Daniel F. Gordon Award for Lifetime Achievement and Distinguished Lecturer Award, the American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics’ George Moulton Award for Outstanding Achievement, the Greater New York Academy of Prosthodontics Distinguished Lecturer Award, the European Academy of Esthetic Dentistry John McLean Honorary Lecture Award and the first Frank V. Celenza Memorial Award from the Northeastern Gnathological Society. Dr. Malament was on the research and development teams for two different well-known ceramic products and developed instrumentation used in clinical practice.
A story of a tooth: from a restoration to an implant. Which one is complication-free?The progressive shift towards minimally invasive dentistry is obvious. The ultimate goal is to preserve as much of the tooth structure as possible and extend pulpal vitality. Another noticeable switch in restorative dentistry is metal-free restorations. These tooth-colored restorations must survive in demanding multi-factorial oral conditions and thus some failures related to technical and/or biological aspects are anticipated. The presentation will overview the findings of clinical studies on the survival of glass ceramic complete and partial coverage restorations. It will then present the findings on the incidence of endodontic therapy after receiving either complete or partial coverage glass ceramic restorations. And finally, it will talk about the terminal treatment modality – replacement of a tooth with an implant. Is it a complication-free solution? What should a clinician expect with implant-retained restorations and how can the complications be minimized will be discussed.
