ROE Dental Laboratory has been offering Snap-On Smiles for more than two years. More than just a cosmetic solution, Snap-on-smile is helpful in solving a wide variety of short- and long-term clinical challenges as both a non-invasive restorative option and a diagnostic appliance. Applications include an esthetic provisional for implant restoration (avoiding the uncomfortable flipper and essex retainer), a vehicle for increasing facial height (vertical dimension), a cosmetic removable partial, and a long-term smile enhancement. Snap-On Smile can last for years and yet is affordable enough to be temporary.

Dental implant overdenture therapy is a treatment modality with the potential of significantly improving the quality of our patient’s lives.   In order to accomplishconsistent and predictable treatment outcomes in general practice, an understanding of the fundamental principles of implant biomechanics, prosthetic, surgical and treatment planning considerations is required.  Dr. Aldo Leopardi’s objective for this presentation is to bring all of these factors into perspective, through an understanding of the current literature and how this relates to clinical practice.  His discussion will include, but not be limited to

• Treatment Planning
• Prosthetic Design: stress broken verses rigid design concepts
• Bar Overdentures
• Stand-alone Attachment Systems: Zest Locator and Ball-
• Attachment systems immediate verses delayed loading
• Fixed Restoration of the Edentulous Patient

• Periodontist

Removable Prosthodontics, Capture the Opportunity

Frank Lauciello DDS - Spring - Columbus, OH

Capture the opportunity to grow your removable practice efficiently and profitably.  With the advent of dental implants the edentulous patient has special needs and very high expectations.  The principles of fundamental removable prosthodontics have never been more important to review and to incorporate in your treatment modalities.  Join Dr. Frank Lauciello, Director of Removable Prosthodontics for Ivoclar Vivadent as he explains simple steps for success using concepts and materials that are explained in practical and efficient terms.
Successful restoration of the edentulous patient requires accurate transfer of information from the clinician and the technician.  If the communication is inadequate or inaccurate it can be a source of extra patient appointments, loss of productivity, and patient disappointment.   Often times this lack of communication occurs simply because there is a lack of understanding between clinician and technician concerning exactly what information is needed and what tools are available to help deliver this information to the lab.   This lecture will list the important patient information that the clinician should provide the dental laboratory and will describe in detail the materials and techniques used for this communication.   The role of the dental articulator will be also discussed.  

The following topics will be covered:

• Evaluating the patient’s existing dentures and communicating that information to the dental lab using the Denture gauge
• Evaluating and communicating the desired length of the maxillary central incisors using the Papillameter
• Determination of important facial planes using the Biteplane
• Preliminary inter-arch Centric jaw relationship technique using the Centric Tray
• The theory and the importance of Intra-oral bite recorders
• Facilitating anterior denture tooth selection using the FormSelector
• Understanding the process of selecting posterior denture teeth (occlusion)
• Importance of clinical remounting and how the lab can facilitate this process
• Denture processing and how it can affect the retention, stability, and occlusion of the final denture

Dr. Frank Lauciello graduated from the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY), School of Dental Medicine in 1969 and completed his Prosthodontic training at the Buffalo VA Medical Center.  He is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Restorative Department at SUNY at Buffalo and was director of the Veterans Administration Advanced Prosthodontic Program from 1973-1998 and Chief of the Dental Service from 1996-1998.  He is presently Director of Removable Prosthodontics Research, Development, & Education for Ivoclar Vivadent, Amherst, NY and Director of the Implant Esthetic Center of Excellence in Sarasota, Florida.  
Dr. Lauciello is a Diplomat of the American Board of Prosthodontics and has authored 25+ articles including several chapters of textbooks.  He is actively involved in dental research and new product development.
