Don Clem, DDS, Diplomat at the American Board of Periodontology Dental implants have been recognized as one of the greatest advancements in dentistry. Beginning in the late 80’s, however, reports began to appear describing a unique progressive bone loss associated with inflammation and infection. Since that time, these reports have increased and the term “peri-implantitis” has been officially recognized as an inflammatory bone lesion associated with dental implants. How is periodontitis and peri-implantitis the same and how are they different?

10:30am – 11:15am	Preety Desai, DDS – Minimally Invasive Therapy for Periodontics & Implants Minimally Invasive Therapy for Periodontics & Implants Dr. Preety Desai Dentistry has not advantaged itself to laser technology as our medical colleagues have for surgical, interventional or preventive therapies. Simply put, physicians can use one laser wavelength for a procedure while the oral cavity has 5 surfaces (enamel, dentin, soft tissue, bone and now implants) we need to treat. The “all tissue laser” designed for dentistry satisfies our need to treat all 5 surfaces. This course will provide an evidenced-based understanding of an array of marketed lasers with their advantages and disadvantages; clarifying from corporate rhetoric and marketing with clinical results. The erbium laser is the “dentist’s” laser facilitating the most minimally invasive delivery of restorative and surgical treatment compared to any blade, drill, piezoelectric or surgical elevators, benefitting the patient emotionally and clinically.

Kinzer, D.D.S., M.S.D. — Director of Curriculum and Campus Education, SPEAR Education Symmetry of the gingival architecture plays a vital role in creating an esthetic treatment outcome. When planning treatment for patients with gingival discrepancies, it is often necessary to incorporate periodontal surgery and/or orthodontics to achieve the most predictable result. The question often becomes which treatment option would be better? This presentation will address the various etiologies associated with aberrant gingival margin locations and provide a systematic approach for management of these discrepancies. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Learn to determine the correct diagnosis for gingival discrepancies in the esthetic zone. Understand how to clinically manage gingival levels for the best esthetic result by choosing between periodontal surgery or orthodontic intrusion. Learn how to differentiate those cases when a gingivectomy alone will provide the desired soft tissue result, and those for which osseous surgery with bone removal is required. Discuss the clinical techniques needed to alter gingival levels.	Marina Ballroom F/G
