IMPLANT / RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Attachments, Implants and Narrow Body Implants
For Dentists, Lab Technicians and Dental Assistants
Attachments are rigid or resilient connectors that redirect
forces of occlusion. They are stress attenuators and
absorbers. Their function is to protect and preserve soft
tissue and bone, and provide retention and cosmetic
alternatives. Implants are devices that are rigidly fixated to
bone. This characteristic differentiates them from natural
teeth. Their long-term success depends on bone quantity
and quality, number and size of implants placed, occlusal
and vector relationships, loading forces, and types of
attachments selected.
We will explore the rationale for using attachments as
connectors to implants. The restorative dentist treatment
plans implants through use of study models, wax bites,
occlusal set ups and surgical stents. A clear understanding
of what needs to be achieved must be established first and
communicated to the surgeon and the patient. Implants
must be placed where they can be successfully restored and
not just where there is available bone.
Various precision and semi-precision attachment cases are
reviewed along with numerous types of resilient and nonresilient bar units, joints, studs, magnets, screws, and various
accessory attachments.
GUEST SPEAKER:
GEORGE E. BAMBARA,
MS, DMD, FACD
STATEN ISLAND, NY
Narrow body implants systems are popular and provide
comfort and functionality for many who are not candidates
for a standard 3mm or wider implant. The restorative
aspect of various systems is explained along with clinical
characteristics that differentiate them from each other.
Clinical cases are reviewed and a logical approach to the
treatment planning of attachment and implants is presented.
You will gather knowledge, excitement and confidence
enabling you to utilize attachments, implants and narrow
body implants in your daily practice immediately.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will:
• Have a fuller understanding of how rigid or resilient
attachments work to ensure successful implant prosthetics.
• Explore treatment possibilities using bars and stud
attachments.
• Learn treatment planning differences between implants
and natural teeth.
• Learn how accessory attachments work to enhance
retention and esthetics.
• Learn how to successfully treatment plan two to ten
implants using attachments.
• Learn how to treatment plan and restore narrow body
implant systems.
• Understand how various narrow body implants are
protected by their attachment systems and to what extent.
• Have a fuller understanding of narrow body implants by
demonstrating how they are restored.
• Gain a new level of confidence in treatment planning
attachment retained fixed, segmented or overdenture
prosthetics.
DR. GEORGE BAMBARA is a graduate and faculty member
of the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. He is past president
of the Richmond County Dental Society and holds Fellowships
in the American College of Dentists, the International College

Cutting Edge Techniques and Materials to Maximize Success
of Posterior Composite Resin Restorations
Use of composite resin material as a direct restorative
for anterior and posterior restorations has dramatically
increased. With self-etching technology emerging as a viable
alternative to traditional techniques and development of
new technology to assist with bulk fill techniques, it is easy
to be get confused and fall behind. We will attempt to make
sense of all the products and techniques available today,
and focus on materials and their applications with a brief
review of some of the literature. Emphasis will be placed on
new developments in the composite area and outline what
developments to watch for in coming years.
During this program you will understand:
• Self-etching principles and how they are applied to
composite resins.
• What is required of materials to be utilized for bulk-filled
and differences between some current materials.
• How to successfully and predictably place a bulk-filled
restoration.
• Proper placement techniques that maximize clinical
outcomes and esthetics.
• How to select and place an appropriate matrix system.
• How to create and maintain correct posterior anatomy and
contours.
New Materials in Indirect Restorative Dentistry
We will introduce you to several new materials in the arena
of indirect restorative dentistry. Tips and techniques for these
materials, and the Pros and Cons of each will be discussed. We
will cover the latest development in all porcelains, cements,
impression materials and CAD/CAM technology and elucidate
their influences on the modern practice of dentistry.
During this program you will:
• Gain knowledge of modern ceramic materials and
understand limitations and strengths of each type.
• Develop a better understanding of indications and
contraindications of each material.
• Improve your understanding of modern cements and which
clinical situations are indicated for their use.
• Navigate technological advances in CAD/CAM Dentistry
and figure out which systems may be most appropriate for
your practice.
• Learn predictable techniques designed to capture flawless
impressions the first time they are attempted.

ORTHODONTICS
Congenitally Missing
Maxillary Lateral Incisors
How Do You Want To Compromise?
General dentists, prosthodontists, orthodontists,
periodontists and pediatric dentists all have faced the
dilemma of treating a patient who is missing one or both
maxillary lateral incisors. Once the problem is noted,
every treatment will finish with a compromised result. The
professionals are face with the question: "How do I want to
compromise?" Since no objective answer can be definitive,
many keep wondering if a magical formula exists to resolve
this dental problem. Are the solutions currently available
enough to minimize patients' suffering? What are the
contemporary proposed treatments for this condition?
This program will provide a review of the current proposed
forms of treatment for cases missing one or both maxillary
lateral incisors. Clinical situations will be used to illustrate
the variable in the decision process of congenitally or
acquired lack of maxillary lateral incisors.
Upon completion of this program you will:
• Develop knowledge of the incidence of missing maxillary
lateral incisors.

Hands-on Course
The Two-Implant Mandibular
Overdenture Restoring Quality of life,
as Well as Teeth
Approximately 10% of Americans over the age of 18 are
completely edentulous. A conventional maxillary denture suits
the needs of most patients. However, mandibular dentures
have problems with retention, stability, function and esthetics.
This creates a less than ideal quality of life for these patients. A
two-implant supported overdenture overcomes many of these
problems and can be relatively cost effective, especially if their
existing denture can be retrofitted at chairside obviating the
expensive laboratory costs. The morning lecture is followed
by an afternoon hands-on laboratory session consisting of
implant placement and restoration in mannequins.
Topics to be covered:
• Diagnosis and treatment planning.
• Implant placement.
• Impression techniques.
• Restorative options (bar, ball attachments, locators
and magnets.)
• Retrofitting an existing denture.
• Overdenture economics.
• Complications.
Objectives:
• Improve quality of life of your patients.
• Increase your patient pool.
• Offer additional service in your practice.

Among the most challenging of dental restorations is that of
an anterior central incisor, particularly in the circumstance
when the rest of the dentition is intact and attractive.
A crown restoration, particularly implant-supported,
requires an expanded perspective that includes a series of
prosthodontic and surgical factors – esthetic, functional,
material and soft tissue.
This course will be presented in modules that highlight the
major factors important in the successful treatment of the
Single Implant Supported Anterior Crown.
Topics to be covered:
• Anatomic position of the implant – Good, Ok, Impossible.
• The Provisional Crown – the Blueprint.
• Esthetic Dentistry 2015 – Wow! Beautiful.
• Tooth Color – now you see it or do you?
• Now I have it, what do I do? Contouring, adjustment and
cementation.

This informational and participatory course will demonstrate
the optimal way to prevent and manage “Medical
Emergencies” that occur in the dental office. Emphasis will
be placed on development of an emergency response team
consisting of the dentist (team leader) and his/her staff each
of which have an assigned, designated role. You will also
develop an emergency response manual for your office.
We will include a review of medical history taking, physical
evaluation, and the recognition and management of medical
emergencies. The “HEART” concept will be utilized: History –
Evaluation – Anticipation – Recognition – Treatment.
The program will consist of a series of lectures, demonstrations,
and simulated drills. In addition, the armamentarium,
instrumentation, and drugs needed for a comprehensive
dental office emergency kit will be discussed.
On completion of this program the dentist and staff
members will be able to:
• Evaluate and risk-assess his/her dental patient.
• Equip and prepare the office to manage untoward events.
• Function as a trained emergency response team.
• Establish & maintain a well-designed office emergency kit.
• Establish an office emergency response manual.
• Recognize the most common office emergencies and
initiate their management.
• Utilize the equipment necessary to treat an emergency.
• Select and understand the use and pharmacology of
emergency drugs.
