“Tips & Tricks in Fixed Prosthetics: Mastering principles for success in ever-changing times – Pearls to use on Monday”

Course Overview:

Learn how to get the patient to say “Yes” to treatment! Leave with an appreciation of all the little things that make big differences, affecting productivity, profitability and better, more consistant outcomes, leaving you passionate about getting there.

This will include how to resolve several fixed prosthetic challenges through improved treatment planning, communication with patient and lab, and multiple techniques leading to predictable and time-saving results. Get excited about the latest technologies, from lasers to temporization and impression techniques (including digital) along with a better understanding of the rationale in choosing the latest in ceramic options.

Learn how material choice, tooth preparation and cementation material come together to impact long term success

Topics:

1.
Demystifying Occlusion – Understand the importance of the occlusal exam and its impact on treatment planning and how function and esthetics come together. Learn how the diagnostic ‘wax-up’ and ‘mock will become the dentist- technician - patient blueprint.

2. Material Options - Learn guidelines in decision making for material choices from Composite Uveneers to PFM’s or Lithium Disilicate (e-Max) along with different Zirconia choices and how this impacts preparation design which plays an essential role in esthetics and longevity.

3. Impressioning - Always the #1 complaint from the lab, whether conventional or digital. Learn ‘multiple pearls’ that will provide greater accuracy and save time at delivery through a step-by-step protocol.

4. Occlusal Bite Records – Learn techniques from single crown to full arch and how these time-saving methods will minimize adjustments and remakes.

5. Shade selection- Learn how to communicate with your lab to decrease compromised shade accuracy. This will minimize returns, resulting in satisfied patients and more referrals. Proper photographic techniques, shade guide armamentarium, shade mapping and digital options will be reviewed.

6. Cement Choices - A simplified explanation for selecting the appropriate cement option (the what, where, when and why) will not only aid in longer term outcomes and less breakage, but also aid in final color matching.
 

“Nuts & Bolts of Implant Treatment from Planning to Completion, from Single Tooth to the Complex Case:  Reviewing Techniques and New Technologies to Achieve Predictable Success”

  Course Overview:

Utilizing the principles and technologies that contribute greatly to long-term success in implant treatment, you can alleviate a great deal of stress while contributing to significantly increased practice profitability. In this course, Dr. Fagin will ensure that you learn new insights on a range of topics and gain confidence in overcoming challenges and creating long term implant success with a TEAM approach.

OBJECTIVES:   
  • Understand patient’s wants and needs and transform them into case acceptance
  • Treatment Plan from diagnostic wax-up to radiographic guides & surgical template design, while weighing the multiple risk factors and their impact on success
  • Understand the variables in implant selection and positioning
  • Identify potential esthetic challenges, including bone grafting and ridge preservation requirements
  • Distinguish factors affecting immediate load vs. progressive loading and other critical concepts of implant occlusion for long term success
  • Address the challenges and solutions to anterior implant esthetics
  • Learn temporization techniques in fixed cases and test esthetics while creating and transferring custom emergence profile, predictably managing goals with patient and lab
  • Learn treatment techniques that will decrease chair time and enhance outcomes, including use of Straumann’s Variobase abutment
  • Learn how Cone Beam and CAD-CAM technology can design and mill your case, including osteoplasty and implant positioning and placement guides for both fixed & removable cases.
  • Know whether to splint or not to splint…that is the question!
  • Learn rationale for ‘screw-in’ vs. ‘cement-on’ restorations?
  • Learn rationale for cement choices – It makes a difference.
Conference Sessions generally take place on days at sea (as itinerary allows), giving you plenty of time to enjoy your meals, evenings and ports of call with your companion, family and friends.

Dr. Fagin served as Prosthodontist adviser and presentor for several Implant Study Clubs over the past 26 years. He presents for Dental Laboratories around the country to help dentists get back to the basics so labs can provide them with better outcomes.  He was voted by his colleagues to “Best Dentists in America” 2004/2005 and 2013, “Global Who’s Who Man of the Year” in Dental Health 2008, “Top Dentists” 2008/2014/2015/2017/2018 and was elected to faculty membership in the Honorary Dental Society Omicron Kappa Upsilon.

He was awarded Diplomat status in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists in 1994 and is a Fellowship recipient of the International College of Dentists for his contributions to Dentistry.  Dr. Fagin also served on faculty for the Misch Implant Institute 1991-1993 (Detroit, Michigan) and 2005-2006 (Rochester, NY).

Ports of Call

Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii - Combine the languid allure of the tropics with big-city sophistication, then add the spirit of aloha, and you've got Honolulu. This Pacific crossroads features museums, dazzling beaches, historic Pearl Harbor and spectacular sunrises over Diamond Head. Gardenias and jasmine blanket the air with a heady fragrance, and pink sunsets cast a magical glow over fabled Waikiki Beach.

Kahului, Maui - A surplus of natural splendor and the genuine hospitality of its people have helped to make Maui Hawaii's second most popular island. Explore the fascinating history of the town of Lahaina. Plant yourself on a pristine beach, or play one of the world's most beautiful golf courses.

Hilo, Hawaii - Gaze up from this charming town and see snow-capped Mauna Kea volcano. It's just one of the scenic marvels in this exotic greenhouse of lush tropical plants, towering banyan trees, thundering falls and enough flowers to fill a rainbow. Arid deserts, steaming fissures and volcanoes that blow their tops are just as impressive.

Kona, Hawaii - The sun-blessed Kona coast stretches 80 miles along macadamia nut orchards, famous coffee plantations and some of the most important sites in Hawaiian history. Captain Cook came ashore here and died at the hands of angry natives. The coast is also famous for water sports, and the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament is a world-renowned annual event.

Nawiliwili, Kauai, Hawaii - The Garden Isle, Kauai receives the most rainfall of all the Hawaiian Islands, which leads to lush vegetation and elegant hibiscus blossoms, as well as a huge canyon carved by wind and water erosion. Marvel at the narrow paths worn by the ancient Menehunes into the cliffsides of the steep Na Pali Coast, unmarred by roads and unapproachable except by foot trail or helicopter.
