Seminar Topics & Objectives:
Immediate Molar Replacement: Meeting Patient Demands with Evidence
Dental implants are a known and predictable treatment option for missing teeth, where most patients today desire this therapy. Although implant survival is extremely high, these favorable outcomes depend greatly on proper case selection, minimizing medical risk factors, careful surgical and prosthetic execution, and prevention and management of complications. In clinical practice, patient demands are becoming more difficult to meet, where they often seek immediate implants with immediate function. This leaves the practicing clinician with a dilemma of meeting patient expectations, but often without scientific evidence for our treatment protocols. Are immediate implants as successful as delayed implant placement? Are molar immediate implants stable long-term? Is patient satisfaction improved when providing shorter treatment times? This presentation will discuss immediate molar implant placement, including diagnosis and treatment planning, surgical and prosthetic execution, maintenance, and complications to help the practicing clinician meet the challenges of meeting patient demands without compromising long-term results.

Learning Objectives:
  • This lecture will discuss evidence for immediate molar implant placement.
  • This lecture will discuss strategies to identify and prevent unfavorable outcomes in the immediate molar implant patient.
  • This lecture will discuss the evidence for immediate molar implants, both short and long-term

He completed Dental School at the University of Michigan and received his certificate in Prosthodontics and a Master’s degree from the University of Connecticut Health Center in 2005. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics, a member of the American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics and a fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists . CAPT Barndt has practiced Prosthodontics in the Navy Dental Corps for 15 years. He served as the Digital Dentistry Specialty Leader for the Navy Dental Corps for 5 years, developing and teaching both Laboratory and chair-side CAD/CAM technology. He also served as Program Director for Prosthodontics and was the Chief of Fixed Prosthodontics at the Naval Postgraduate Dental from 2012 to 2014 . CAPT Barndt currently practices at the Naval Branch Health Clinic in Groton, CT. He is extensively involved with industry partners in developing customized digital technology solutions for the US Navy for restorative and implant planning applications . CAPT Barndt is married to Dr. Marjorie Barndt, a Prosthodontist, and has two daughters, Natalie and Lucy .
Seminar Topics & Objectives:
Advancements in Digital Dentistry and Advantages to the Patient and Practice
Dr. Peter Barndt will present the complete spectrum of CAD/CAM implant restorations and show the wide spectrum of design and material combinations. He will teach workflows to improve teamwork among the restorative dentist, surgeon and lab technician for restorations ranging from single crowns to multi- unit restorations. CAD/CAM technology is revolutionizing dentistry as we know it. Clinicians who have incorporated digital solutions into their practices have found significantly improved workflow efficiency and ease of collaboration with laboratories. The instructor will review the techniques for traditional provisional and abutment fabrication and contrast these techniques with current digital solutions. The complete spectrum of CAD/CAM implant restorations will be presented, demonstrating a wide spectrum of design and material combinations. An emphasis will be placed on clinical workflows, including when intra-oral scanning is advantageous and when to utilize conventional impression methods. Participants will learn collaborative workflows for single crowns to multi-unit restorations, that help the surgeon, restorative doctor and laboratory technician to help achieve efficient and esthetic results.

Digital Solutions for Implant Restorations: Efficient, Precise and Flexible – Finally!
CAD/CAM technology is revolutionizing dentistry as we know it. Clinicians who have incorporated digital solutions into their practices have found significantly improved workflow efficiency and ease of collaboration with laboratories. The instructor will review the techniques for traditional provisional and abutment fabrication and contrast these techniques with current digital solutions. The complete spectrum of CAD/CAM implant restorations will be presented, demonstrating multiple design and material combinations. An emphasis will be placed on clinical workflows, including when intra-oral scanning is advantageous and when to utilize conventional impression methods. Participants will learn collaborative workflows for single crowns and multi-implant restorations that help the surgeon, restorative doctor and laboratory technician achieve efficient and esthetic results.

At the end of the lecture the participant will have gained insights on how to:
  • Understand the challenges of getting into digital dentistry
  • Review the current offerings for clinicians and technicians
  • Analyze how digital dentistry is changing the work flow and delivery times
  • List the indications and contraindications for CAD/CAM restorations
  • Demonstrate clinical cases treated with digital workflows
The Changing Paradigm of Digital Implant Dentistry: Today’s Technology and Tomorrow’s Concepts
Digital technology has revolutionized implant dentistry but not without frustration. Recent advances with hardware, software, and materials now present integrated solutions for the implant team through planning, placement, and restoration. Single implant treatment will be presented for every-day practice, as well as more advanced partial and fully-edentulous techniques. The most efficient and precise workflows through Keystone and its industry partners will give you concrete digital solutions ready for implementation in your practice. At the conclusion of the lecture the speaker will define some different “team structures” for how the surgeon, dentist, and lab could invest in technology and work together.

At the end of the lecture the participant will have gained insights on how to:
  • Appreciate the benefits and applications of intra-oral scanning
  • Appreciate the complete spectrum of materials and restoration design options with a fully-digital process
  • Understand how digital information from the Restorative Doctor, Surgeon and Laboratory combine for successful and efficient treatment
  • Create a technology blueprint for your practice focused on implant dentistry capabilities
Digital Solutions for Implant Restorations: Efficient, Precise and Flexible – Finally!
The fundamental approach for full-arch implant restorations has changed, to incorporate advances in dental implant design, digital workflows and dental materials. This course will integrate these innovations to provide a current, systematic approach for the full-arch implant restoration. The Keystone Arch solution creates an implant foundation more suitable for zirconia restorations, maximizing durability and reducing the complexity of final restorations. Four basic implant foundation designs will be presented, with prosthetic design and material solutions that accompany each implant arrangement.

Learning Objectives:
  • Appreciate the importance of tooth position relative to alveolar anatomy for diagnosis and planning procedures
  • Establish 4 basic implant foundations that can be selected from to meet each patient’s unique anatomy.
  • Identify the critical surgical and prosthetic features of an implant system to utilized for full-arch implant restorations.
  • Understand the impact of the implant foundation on material selection and restoration design.

It will provide solutions to improve the esthetic outcome, as well as guidelines to achieve a more predictable result. In addition, evidence-based outcomes reported in literature evaluating “Pink” implants and abutments will be discussed.

Lecture Objectives:
  • At the end of the lecture the participant will have gained insights on identifying implant features, case selection, surgical and restorative guidelines, and other tools available to optimize the esthetic result in a predictable manner.
  • They will comprehend the value of using a top-down treatment planning approach to case preparation and recognize the value of utilizing advances in technologies for developing and sustaining esthetic temporary healing abutments and restorations supported by dental implants.
  • Finally, the participants will have an insight to the value of “Pink” color implants and abutments in improving the appearance of the peri-implant mucosa.
