DR. WILLIAM BECKER
University of Texas at Houston,U.S.A
Implant placement in the esthetic zone requires careful diagnosis and treatment planning. The focus of this presentation will be to discuss the requirements for successful esthetic outcomes in the esthetic zone. We will discuss the smile line, gingival anatomy, lip shape, interdental bone height, bony morphtypes as well as the trajectory for implant placement We will present the indications for one, and two stage approaches, flap designs as well as patient presentations where implant esthetics was achieved. We will also discuss problems and how to manage them.
Objectives are
-
Attendees will learn the indications and contraindications for implant placement

007.Computer generated esthetics -The fascinating world of CEREC 3D
DR. KLAUS J. WIEDHAHN
Buchholz, Germany
Full-ceramic restorations are becoming an increasingly important part of dental restorations in anterior and in posterior teeth. The lecture will demonstrate the range of indications, the benefits and the limitations of CEREC 3D restorations. The audience will get a deep insight into the clinical procedure, the properties of prefabricated ceramics and the on-screen design of inlays, crowns and veneers fabricated and cemented in one single appointment. Latest longevity data of chairside fabricated ceramic CADCAM restorations will be presented. An overview about the CAD-CAM production of crown copings, bridge frameworks and telescopic crowns with CEREC will round off the presentation.

008.Evidence-based analysis of single and multiple visit endodontics
DR. ABDULLAH AL-AWFI
King Fahad General Hospital, Ministry of Health, Madinah, Saudi Arabia
Initiating and completing an endodontic treatment in one appointment has always been surrounded by controversy. The proponents of single visit endodontic contend that antimicrobial intracanal medicament and immediate obturation with guttapercha and sealers have an equal role, while the advocates of multiple visit endodontic claimed that canals are cleanest if interappointment antimicrobial medicament is used. Canal cleanliness can be demonstrated by culturing and effectiveness of intracanal medicament. Bacteriological sampling procedures and culture processing do not provide a complete outlook of the root canal microbiology. Calcium hydroxide currently remains the best of intracanal medicaments. Inspite of that, it is not always effective and its action is unreliable. The advocates of multiple visit approach claim that single visit endodontics result in more flare-ups. However, most of the studies showed that flare-ups, healing and long term prognosis are similar in single and multiple visit endodontics. There appears to be sound theoretical and scientific evidence to support the single visit approach in vital teeth but not in retreatment cases with apical periodontitis. The decision in these cases should be made in relation to each individual case and the ability of the practitioner to properly clean, shape and obturate the canal in one visit or more.

King Fahad Hospital, Medina, Saudi Arabia
Dental implant therapy is rapidly becoming the most ideal and conservative method of permanently replacing one or more missing teeth, resulting in dramatic improvement of one's quality of life by restorating health, function and appearance. An overall implant therapy, case presentations and discussion on complications will be presented.

010.Decision-making in prosthodontic treatment
DR. GHAZI ABDULLATIF HOLDAR
King Abdulaziz Hospital , Makkah, Saudi Arabia
Various cases of partially or completely edentulous patients are confronted daily by the prosthodontist. Most of these cases are compromised by other conditions orally or systemically that require the prosthodontist to apply a lot of effort in deciding what the best treatment for each case. Decision-making of different diverse clinical therapies should include two important aspects of therapy: the efficacy and effectiveness. Different conventional prosthodontic convictions will be explained. The complexity of prosthodontic decision-making equation lacks compelling evidence pertaining to the balance between risk benefits and treatment outcome. There are three ways in which a clinician can choose a specific treatment: induction, deduction and seduction. Only the deductive approach is scientifically acceptable and defensible as honest and fair to our patients. Various treatment options for partially and completely edentulous patients will be discussed depending on functional and morphological considerations of treatment options based on evidences.
