Smiles Across the Miles featuring University at Buffalo, School of Dental Medicine Department of Restorative Dentistry faculty Dr. John Maggio, Clinical Assistant Professor, and Dr. Robert Yetto, Clinical Instructor Oh No, You Didn't! Why Patients Keep Breaking Restorations Nothing can be more frustrating than spending time restoring a patient's teeth and having them repeatedly fracture them. This course goes back to basic occlusal concepts to try to understand why restorations fail and how to predict mishaps before they occur. The presentation combines a review of the scientific literature with practical concepts for the dental practitioner.~ John J. Maggio, DDS At the conclusion, you can expect to: - be able to identify causes of fractures and excessive wear - be familiar with why patients drift into unhealthy positions anterior to centric occlusion - understand the concept of Neutral Zone and explain why teeth are positioned where they are - see abfraction lesions as signs of larger occlusal problems - realize the disastrous results of missing molars, and know how to communicate that to patients - differentiate between horizontal and vertical envelopes of motion and their significance Introduction to Smile Design... Why do some smile makeovers scream FAKE to you from across the room, while others are barely detectable, even to the trained eye? What is being missed in the former and achieved in the latter? Success depends on design elements that are determined long before your lab technician pours a single model. Understanding these elements and the principles behind them are the first step towards consistently providing natural looking reconstructions that are as healthy and durable as they are attractive.Why some smiles look right and others are a fright! ~ Robert J. Yetto, DDS At the conclucion of this lecture, you should be able to: 1. understand historical and current smile design principles and put them to use 2. document the information critical to success 3. properly determine shade parameters 4. communicate effectively with the lab Tips and Tricks for Everyday Posterior Composites As posterior composite resins continue to grow in popularity, the options for placing them are also growing. Our faculty present a literature review to help determine the best ways to approach each step of the process of placing a posterior composite resin. Once again, the presentation combines a review of the scientific literature with practical concepts for the dental practitioner.~ Drs. John Maggio & Bob Yetto You will see scientific answers to these questions: - Which is stronger – amalgam or resin? - Why don’t we want retentive features under a resin? - Are caries-detecting dyes helpful or harmful? - Is a rubber dam necessary for bonding? (What about saliva and humidity?) - Can antimicrobial agents inhibit bond strength? - Which bases and liners are compatible with resins and bonding systems? - How should flowable composites be used? - How does C-Factor help explain post-operative sensitivity? - What is the best matrix and wedge system for achieving an ideal proximal contact? Continuing Dental Education lectures will be scheduled on several mornings in a conference room at the resort. Sessions are short, allowing maximum time to enjoy your surroundings! Lectures will likely convene on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, however, specific meeting details, as well as self-study reading materials, will be mailed to all registrants prior to travel.
