ACDE Webinar Series: Building Virtual Patients for Predictable Outcomes of Complex Full Mouth Implant Rehabilitation
May 5, 2024 | 11am - 12:30pm ET
Webinar via Zoom
Speaker: Dr. Junying Li
University of Michigan, School of Dentistry
Abstract:
Full-arch implant-supported fixed prosthesis is one of the most advocated treatment options for patients with failing dentition. This treatment requires coordinating a thorough prosthetic and surgical plan. Esthetic, occlusal, and biological considerations must be integrated into the treatment plan. It is one of the most challenging dental procedures. Luckily, with the newest technology of face scans, virtual patients, virtual articulators, and computer-assisted implant surgery with the stackable guide, a full arch immediate implant placement, and loading case can be planned and executed seamlessly with predictable outcomes. This lecture will cover the key issues related to this full digital workflow.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the equipment and software required for a virtual patient workflow
- Understand the virtual patient workflow process
- Recognize the components of a stackable guide
- Demonstrate how to accurately register CR (Centric Relation) and VOD (Vertical Dimension of Occlusion) in a virtual patient

ACDE Webinar Series: Biofilm Management; Are We at a Tipping Point with Guided Biofilm Therapy
May 14, 2024 | 8pm - 10pm ET
Webinar via Zoom
Speaker: Dr. Penny Hatzimanolakis
The University of British Columbia
Abstract:
The underworld of subgingival biofilm can be a challenging environment for clinicians. Traditionally, the battle against biofilm communities thriving subgingivally has been fought with a blend of hand and power-driven instruments. In the last 5 years in North America and for over 20 years in Europe, indications for using air-pressured mechanical biofilm disruption technology with the use of low abrasive-based powders for both supragingival and subgingival biofilm have been developed. This evidence-informed review will explore the air-flow mechanism and its clinical application for biofilm management.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the oral microbiome
- Understand the new immunology concept of symbiosis and dysbiosis relationship
- Learn to create effective patient care-plans
- Integrate air-pressured technology and powders into clinical protocols
- Learn the importance of risk assessments
- List and describe mechanical interventions that combat mature biofilms
Tuition: $69/2 ADA CERP credit hour
Course Prerequisites: None required
Course Format: Virtual Lecture
Conflict of Interest: None reported by speaker
