Angiogenesis starts with an immune reaction. Bone cells are under the control of the immune system. It’s now the new science concept named osteoimmunology. However, immunity works properly if the amount of antioxidants allows to balance oxidants. Excess of oxidants is named oxidative stress. Increased level of oxidants in osteoblast is the critical element of the pathophysiology of bone loss. The marginal bone loss and peri-implantitis should be classified as immune diseases induced by oxidative stress. Oxidative stress occurs during biological diseases such as vitamin D deficiency or hypercholesterolemia. High pressure on bone during implant placement or tension during primary closure is also inducing a high level of oxidants production and therefore, is followed by bone loss.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry (BRD) implies that utmost attention is given to avoid the removal of intact tooth structure, obtain the best adhesive properties and fabricate the most “tooth-like” restoration possible (functionally, biomechanically and esthetically). Many obvious tools will facilitate those goals such as electric handpieces, oscillating instruments, rubber dams, airborne-particle abrasion, composite instruments, CAD/CAM machines etc. Improving visual acuity with magnifying aids, however, remains one of the most important prerequisites when using these tools and aiming for BRD. There is a wide range of dental loupes available, from low (2.5X to 4.5X) to high resolution (5.0X to 12.0X). While regular loupes mainly aid with posture, high-resolution instruments (loupes and microscope) will significantly enhance both acuity and body mechanics. The aims of this presentation are the following:

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Periodontal practice is being shaped by technology with various levels of digital technology penetrating the average practice. This presentation will explore how scanning innovations and digital concepts are shaping our skills and treatment planning solutions, underscoring the importance of adopting a digital philosophy in both conventional periodontal and implant surgical therapies. Concepts that will be reviewed include collaborative virtual surgical planning for teeth and implants and guided surgery/provisional treatment using a streamlined workflow. Basic tooling and training to implement this workflow will be discussed, along with strategies to implement a time-efficient collaborative protocol, an overview on how this has reduced our post-treatment failures and complications, underscoring why analogue planning and treatment execution should be minimized. Coupled with this, this presentation will highlight how this leads to more focus on minimally invasive surgical procedures and improved patient experiences.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
The loss of teeth will lead to resorption of the buccal plate with its resultant need for extensive augmentative procedures (both bone and soft tissue) as well as the risk of poor long term aesthetic stability. Partial Extraction Therapies (PET) are techniques that allow us to maintain the buccal bone plate and hence prevent the collapse of the alveolar bone creating a platform for ideal soft tissue and bone which is stable in the long term. This is a greater problem in the aesthetic areas. This lecture will take you through the different options with regards to immediate implant placement as well as the most cutting-edge PET in a step by step fashion.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
In today’s highly competitive dental market, standing out from other dental practices means offering patients what they want. Patients today want teeth that are brighter and whiter and natural looking, thus more esthetic surgical and restorative procedures are being performed. And they want fixed solutions for their missing teeth, hence more dental implant procedures are being performed. When we offer these procedures, our restorations for natural teeth and implants are usually being made on one type of CADCAM system or another. Most restorations are being computer designed using virtual wax-ups selected from a digital library of teeth that are literally stretched or condensed to fit your particular patient’s available space. The question becomes what is the best way to manage the occlusion on these CADCAM restorations? Additionally these CADCAM restorations frequently utilize modern ceramics such as lithium disilicate, monolithic zirconia and other hybrid ceramic products. To be successful we must understand the strength limits of these restorations and be in control of the occlusal forces to which we subject them. This presentation will discuss a practical approach to managing the occlusion in esthetic and implant restorations for predictable, successful outcomes.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Most microscope users believethat without the use of the microscope in dentistry, it wouldbe impossible to accomplish and obtain theirdesired final out comes. I have frequentlyasked yself, why microscopeusersdo not record their work. I believe the answer to thisquestion to be that what the clinician sees through the dental operative microscope (DOM) is different than the images and videos that are captured. Because the captured images do not reflect thesame level of high quality dentistry that the clinician successfully obtained, the clinician becomes discouraged and ceases todocument thedental procedures. However, the lack of documentation through the DOM results in an inability to clearly communicate with patients and colleagues andinhibits our ability topromote the use of the DOM as an invaluable tool in precision dentistry. One of the main reasons whyso many microscope usersaround the world struggleto capture high quality imagesandbecomefrustratedin the areaof microphotographyis that the camera mounted on the DOM is unable to communicate with the microscope’s adapter. The camera is digital but the adapter is analog, and thus, the two technologies do not effectively communicate with one another.

Periodontal microsurgery was successful under the support of the remote dental specialist, Dr. Masana Suzuki, who is 50 km away from an operating room. Our proposal for a real telesurgical support system based on modern communication technology will bring great changes to the concept of tale teaching which enables dental specialists to guide other dentists without being physically present and in real time. Inexperienced dentists will be able to provide micro dentistry procedures that utilize the experience, knowledge, and skills of dental specialists if this system becomes widespread. This system can be advantageous for dentists who implement micro dentistry procedures. It is also one of the advantages that this system can be applied to all micro dentistry procedures. The development of these remote surgery systems will revolutionize micro dentistry due to its multiple benefits. In this session we will introduce the case of periodontal microsurgery under the support of the remote dental specialist in the video. We will also have enough time to learn a new telesurgical support system for dentistry.

Metal and ceramic inlays are used in indirect restoration in class Ⅱ cavities, otherwise composite resin is used in direct restoration. A sectional matrix system is generally used for relatively large class Ⅱ cavities. However, composite resin sometimes overflows in this situation, and it takes a long time for modification after filling. By separating adjacent surfaces with separators and filling composite resin by surface tension technique, the composite doesn’t overflow at all. It provides improved fitting of the composite. Modification time gets shorter significantly by smoothening the surface with metal strips and polishing on separated teeth. That could bring appropriate contact. I suggest this is an effective method for composite resin restoration in class Ⅱ cavities. The objective of my report is to describe the surface tension technique for class Ⅱ cavities with composite resin after separating teeth. This method improves the fit of restoration margins and reestablishes the proximal contact properly.

A small amount of tooth structure removal is often accepted as a necessary compromise when certain esthetic procedures are desired. This course will highlight how restorative dentists and orthodontists can collaborate to achieve ideal esthetic and functional results while being “ultra” conservative in their procedures. The audience will learn how proper pre-restorative planning and precise orthodontic execution will allow the team to move the teeth into an optimized pre-restorative position avoiding unnecessary tooth removal which would weaken the patient’s dentition. “Move” instead of “Remove” allows for easier and long-lasting beautiful restorations

Microphotography is the art of capturing pictures through the dental operative microscope (DOM). One of the main differences between microphotography and macrophotography is that no lens is attached to the camera in microphotography. This course will outline the advantages of microphotographic documentation vs. the use of macrophotography and intraoral cameras. This course will, also, address the challenges the clinician faces in capturing quality images; these challenges include: controlling vibration, working in conjunction with live view monitors, and par-focal adjustment to assure clear focus of the camera.
