Minimally Invasive Implant Reconstruction: 

28 Years - Predictable, Rewarding & Fun

Presented by: Daniel R. Cullum DDS

Weill Cornell Medical College-Uris Auditorium

About the Presentation

This course will teach advanced minimally invasive techniques for open wound and tunnel grafting, enhanced wound healing, immediate management of esthetic zone, single and multi-rooted extraction sites and advanced crestal sinus elevation. We will present “State of the Art” treatment used to manage the spectrum of anatomic defects encountered in daily practice. demonstrating predictable outcomes after 28 years of development and experience. Digital planning and dynamic navigation surgery provide a paradigm shift in predictable implant treatment for optimal outcomes. Surgical instrumentation, selection of graft materials, use of Amnion/Chorion and biologics to up regulate wound healing. will also be presented. Participants will learn techniques offering faster healing interval, stable long-term results and minimal discomfort. Applications of Cone Beam CT imaging, anatomic evaluation, case selection and progressive skill development can avoid potential complications for predictable patient centered outcomes.

Objectives

At the end of the presentation, attendees should better understand:

1. Identify the role of CBCT diagnosis, planning and navigation software as indicators of technique selection, risk prevention and treatment in patient centric care.
2. Select surgical treatment options based on anatomy and host factors to enhance outcomes, reduce treatment time and morbidity in management of vertical and horizontal alveolar deficiencies.
3. Explain the indications and applications of modified end cutting drills, osseo-densification, piezosurgery, hydraulic and modified osteotome techniques in contiguous and advanced crestal sinus elevation.
4. Understand the anatomic and implant design parameters for implant positioning and primary stability to optimize immediate and long-term success.
